COMRADE ROGERS
PASSED AWAY
LAST SATURDAY
Was Well-knOwn and Esteemed
East Jordan Citizen.

The fast-thining ranks OF Stevens
Post No. &C g. A. r. is again called up
on to mourn the loss OF another Com
rade, this time their Post Commander,
Jacob w. Rogers.
Mr.. Rogers, who has been ailing the
past few years, was confined to his bed
few weeks ago and gradually failed
in health until the end came last Satur-
day morning. Heart trouble was the
immediate cause.
In the passing of Comrade Rogers,
our city loses another of its best citi-
zens. Always intensely interested in
things pertaining to the Grand Army
boys, and of patriotic nature, he was
active for years in every line of en-
deavor tending toward true patriotism,
and the up-building of our city.
Deceased was born in Collins, New
York State, July 80, 1886. He enlisted
in the war of the Rebellion under
Lieutenant w. R. Perry in Co. A, 10th
Regiment of Cavalry, New York State
Volunteers. He enrolled Sept 14th,
1861, and served for over three years.
During his service he went through
the battles of Bull Run, Antietam and
Gettysburgh as well as many other
minor engagement.
Following his honorable discharge
from service, he went to Charlotte,
Mich, in 1866, and engaged in his oc-
cupation as carpenter and contractor,
remaining in that city for some fifteen
years. In 1881 he removed to East
Jordan, continued his chosen occupa-
ton, and remained here until the time
of his death, period of some 81 years.
AS carpenter many buildings in Char
lotte and East Jordan bear evidence of
his handiwork.
On Oct. 29th, 1890, he was united in
marriage to Miss Sarah A. Collins of
Lapeer, who survives him, and one
sister.
Funeral services were held from his
late home on Third Street Monday
afternoon, May 9th, conducted by his
pastor, Rev. M. E. Hoyt, of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church.
The remains were taken Tuesday
morning to Charlotte for interment in
the cemetery there.

Second Drive
for w. S.. S.
Will Be Held in East Jordan
Next Wednesday. June 5th.

The second drive for the sale OF
thrift stamps and war savings stamps
will be inaugurated Wednesday next,
June 5th. Mrs. Henry Roy, the sales
manager, has made arrangements with
one hundred and twenty of the high
school students to again call on each
family for the purpose of selling thrift
stamps.
The City of East Jordan has been
divided into sixty districts and the sale
of thrift stamps in each district is under
the supervision of lady residing in
that district. Next Wednesday two
high school students and the lady in
charge of the district will call on each
family in their district in an effort to
sell thrift stamps. The record OF each
district will be kept and the district
making the best showing in the pur-
chase of these thrift stamps will receive
honorable mention in the papers.
1t is the desire of those having charge
of the drive to make East Jordan 100
per cent town. This means that each
man, woman and child must purchase
at least one thrift stamp.
1t is good thing to think patriotism,
talk patriotism and write patriotism but
it is very much better to ACT pat
riotism. At this time when our boys in
France are withstanding the vicious
thrusts of the Hun hordes il is most
fitting that each individual OF the City
of East Jordan do his or her part
toward helping our government, and
there is no better way to do this than
by systematic saving and loaning your
savings to the government
Have your money ready for the
solicitors when they call on you next
Wednesday.

INDUSTRIAL pEsERTsRs.

The time has come when the man
who leaves his post In American In
dustrial life for technical enforcement
of his prerogatives must be branded
as traitorous industrial deserter. We,
the people of the United States, through
our government, are employing mil
lions of men In the most exacting serv-
ice that involves risk of life itself for
many and unimaginable hardships for
all, and their maximum pay is $50 q

Of the campaign of the United States

honor Of killing the most human be-
ings. Man is marine animal, seven
Fights water. He needs cool air and
moisture around him. Overheated dry
air makes him too susceptible to dis
case. In temperature Of over 60 de-
grees it is difficult for men and women
to exist BEAUTIFULLY. IF Americans can
be taught to live in this temperature
the number Of pneumonia victims will
surely decrease. Fresh, cool, moist air
is the foe Of pneumonia and persons
who keep their houses cool and breathe
fresh, moist air need have no fear Of
it."

LOST FOR NINETEEN YEARS
Box Of First-Aid Material Made for
Use in Spanish War Just

Burr Oak, Mich.-After being on the
way 10 years, box was received by
Capt. Charles P. Wheeler sent him by
express by his mother.
Captain Wheeler led company of
volunteers in the Spanish-American
war in 1898, and while at Camp AL
ger, Don Lorihg Va, his mother sent
him box weighing 70 pounds, con-
tanning first-aid material and medicine
Before the box arrived the company
had moved to Cuba, and as the COM
pany moved so rapidly the box never
caught up. On his return he tried to
trace the box without success.
Last week the box arrived from Phil
adelphia, being sent by Col. r. 81.
Rolfe Of the Quartermaster corps, it
being presumably laid aside with
other war material and finally brought
to light.
The contents of the. box were in good
condition, and Captain Wheeler has
turned over the box to the Three Riv.

FOOD CARD FOR DOGS
French CANNES Are Likely to Be
''H00verized."
Feeding Has Become Serious Problem
Great Shortage in Gasoline and
Tobacco.

Paris.-The dog population of the
republic has been living, fighting and
suffering with the human population
in resisting the German octopus, and
is now about to be restricted by
"cards" along with the humans.
The latest system to be announced
is that, following the demands Of the
Agricultural Society of Moulins, the
government is considering the intro
duction Of bread card for dogs, a
card that will entitle dogs doing USE
full work for the country to their
proportionate share Of dog biscuit.
Since the first Of the month an
other discommoding scheme has taken
effect. No gasoline can be sold, even
for domestic uses, such as lighting,
heating or cooking. The government
stated energetic measures had to be
taken, in view Of the fact that the
stocks Of gasoline were almost ex-
hausted and it would be dangerous
to permit them to become further
depleted.
A ruder shock for the entire male
population Of France, which smokes
almost to a man after reaching the
age of twelve, came with the publ
cation of the news that there was no
more tobacco to be had. Imported
English tobaccos are still to be OBJ
tanned in limited quantities, but the
price is prohibitive to the average
Frenchman.
The reasons given for the tobacco
shortage are the increased consump-
ton by the soldiers in the trenches
and the decreased production and i'm
portation, due to the lack Of bottoms.
A good deal has been said about
the establishment of a tobacco card,
but the government has suggested
that system Of voluntary rationing
be first tried out. If this is unsuccess-
full nothing will remain but the addi-
ton of one more card to the rapidly
growing list.
