Cowards from Start to Finish

A Texas weekly says-We hate pro-
German worse than we hate the ca
boose end of skunk
We hate them worse than we hate
the venomous reptile that lies sneak
ingly by your body when you pass
We hate them as we hate Judas and
those who betrayed the Son of God on
earth-but we have the most profound
respect for them as compared to an an
ti-American-one who was born under
the protection of the Stars and Stripes
who is doing more to hurt the cause of
America than the pro-Germap-
They are the ones that appear in
sleeps clothes
They are the ones that are not
worthy of any country, or the slightest
respect of any liberty-loving people
They are the ones who have been
bellyaching since the war started
saying that it was not necessary for
this war to come about-that President
Wilson had no right to declare war
They are the ones who have been
kicking because they could not get all
the flour they wanted
They are the ones who are raising
sand on every occasion because they
are asked to buy liberty bonds or war
saving stamps
They are the ones who say there is
no use of the public and patriotic meet
ings-that it is all waste of time
They are of the lowest brand of ours
imaginable
They are towards from the start to
the finish
They do not even have the courage to
come out in the open
They will be the ones who would run
at the first sound of gun if. thrown
into battle
They are the ones who would desert
their families and leave their wife and
daughters to be ravished as were the
sweet Belgian women in case Germany
should get the opportunity to invade
this country
They are the ones who are so coward
ly and sneaking that they win even
read this and then not repent.

State Fair Booming

Enthusiasm aroused throughout the
State over the 1918 Exposition of the
Michigan State Fair, by the co-opera-
ton of the Federal Government, has
resulted in twenty counties sending in
official entry blanks for exhibits of
their products. Never before in the
history of Fairs in Michigan, has so
much collective community interest
been shown as has been evinced up to
the present time in the coming exhib-
ition.
Following letter sent to the County
Agents of the State by G. w. Dickin-
son, Secretary Manager of the Fair
Association, in which he explained that
the fundamental principal of the COM
ing Fair is support of the Government
in the war work and advising them of
the interest the government is showing
by making gigantic exhibit, occupy
ing over 5000 feet of space, these en-
issaries of scientific, intensive farm
ng Immediately allied themselves with
the patriotic movement.

u. S. Food Administration

''Use all the fresh perishable food
products. :" This is the appeal Food
Administrator George A. Prescott makes
to the housewives of Michigan.
michigan has been blessed with a
remarkable planting and growing spring
and every section is going to have an
abundance of early garden truck" said
Mr.. Prescott, (which fact seems almost
,providential, as this extra large supply
will liberate the more concentrated and
staple foods for our soldiers and our
allies. The usual wastage of large
volume of these products should be
overcome in a critical time like the
present.
If every householder win can a few
quarts of this immediate supply of
fresh vegetables the supply can be con-
served and the prospects for waste al
most entirely eliminated.
'It is not patriotic at this time to
use canned goods which must be held as
food reserve, and this wonderful
spring has given every home the oppor-
tunity to help. create this reserve stock
by using fresh products instead of the
canned goods.

The Red Cross Auction

The Red Cross Auction sale, Wednes-

especially by the ladies, and the sum of
$237. II was received from all sources.
w. w. Blackney started proceedings
with short but inspiring and eloquent
talk, illustrative of what the Red Cross
has done and is doing for our soldier
boys, and Col. Z. l.. Powers then pro-
ceeded to sell the various articles that
Mad been contributed. These consisted
bf nearly everything, ranging from po-
tatoes and live roosters to pictures and
works of art, and the colonel, being in
the best fettle, got good prices for
nearly everything, in fact if people did
not bid, the colonel just sold them the
stuff anyway, and everybody good ma
turedly accepted his judgement. The
Clio Brass Band generously contributed
to the success of the sale by playing
several selections on the streets. Mrs.
Frank Harper drew the prize bed quilt
Mrs. Chas. Bowren drew the tatting

A Beautiful Home

Some wise man or woman, also gifted
with poetic expression, has said that
'.fiowers are the most beautiful things
that God ever made and forgot to en-
dow with soul" We believe that
Mrs. Geo. Hurd has often felt that very
thing even if she did not originate the
expression, for she has a collection of
the most beautiful flowers imaginable
and the splendid condition in which
they are kept and the abundance of
their blossoms tells that she loves to
tend them and knows how to do it scien-
tifically. We ought, possibly, to give
George some of the credit, too, because
we believe that through many years he
has set out shade trees and beautiful
shrubs until the grounds about his home,
at this time of year, when nature is at
her best, are simply magnificent. A
beautiful eXpanse of lawn, shade trees
waving their graceful plumes every
where, the shrubs and flowers, and all
surrounded by nicely kept hedge
make the Hurd home place of beauty
surpassed by few parks that we have
seen. The editor had the pleasure of
visiting this attractive home this week,
hence this deserved but inadiquate trib-
ute, and on behalf of himself and wife
would thank Mrs. Hurd for the gift of
two simply grand bouquets.

What Would You Do?

President Wilson. while reviewing
the Red Cross parade in New York,
was greeted by Canadian soldier. in
valided home from the front, who had
been taken into the Canadian Army
despite the fact that he was 54 years
old when the authorities learned that
his son was one of those German SOL
diers crucified on a barn door. What
would you do to stop such fiendish
things? Do you think it much of a
sacrifice to pledge yourself to save and
to buy War Savings Stamps?

Saw Submarine Sink

The following are extracts from a
very interesting letter written by Lieut..
John A. Petrie to his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Thos. Petrie. and which they have
kindly permitted US to publish:
Somewhere in France.
May 20. 1918.
Dear Folks:
AT last have time to write you
letter to tell you that | am well and
still frisky. We had very pleasant
trip over and have been well fed.
During the last end of the trip we
had convoy of American destroyers
and one morning we sighted big Ger
man submarine right ahead of us.
They ordered full speed ahead and ram
med it before it could submerge. The
destroyer picked up 81 men and four
officers from the water. We shot at
another sub. but don't know whether
we got it or not
We have been thru some very pref
ty country but can't talk much French
yet, so don't say much to the natives.
We have met some Australian and
English officers who are good fellows
and they have entertained us at dinner
twice. Seems good to meet some one
whom you can talk to.
l wish you would send me two car
tons of Camel cigarettes every week,
until further notice. | don't like the
ones over here. After pay day I'll
send you some money to take care of
the expense.
Our men are standing up well and
anxious to get into the fight. l feel
certain that we can do some business
and that I'll be coming back to the old
U. S. A. in the near future, after this is
all over.
We see some very pretty air raids
here once in while and it is quite fas-
cinating to watch them.
Dad, wish you could see the pretty
fields and hedges over here.
Yours,
Lieut.. John A. Petrie.

Masonic Meeting

Vienna Lodge, F. & A. M, will hold
it's last meeting of the season, for the
conferring of the third degree, Thurs
day evening, June 20. The needs of
our country during the great war will
undoubtedly call several of the young
er members of the Order into military
service before the meetings are re-
sumed in the fall and for this reason
it is anticipated that all who can do SO
will wish to be present to extend fra
ternal greetings to these brothers. A
substantial luncheon will be served and
probably program will be given.
