MICHIGAN GOES DRY
ON APRIL Both

DETROIT. Michigan. April 19.-
When Michigan goes dry at midnight
on April 80, total OF 3,2S5 saloons
in the state must go out of business
and CO breweries are prohibited from
manufacturing beer or any intoxicat-
ing liquor. At the election in Noyem-
Der, 1911, the amendment providing
for bone dry" state prohibition was
adopted by a majority OF nearly TO-
600.
Manufacturers and dealers in liquor
in Michigan have had IS months to
dispose OF their stock and wind up
their business affairs. Michigan
breweries employed 1000 men, while
saloons had a total of 6,3S7 persons.
For several weeks, saloon men have
been taking up other trades but the
movement of labor from the brewcries
has not been pronounced
Some of the breweries will manu-
facture soft drinks" and others, it is
understood, will turn out distilled pro-
ducts not prohibited by law. A few
beer plants will be converted into ice
factories.
According to claims made by the
anti.saloon league organization in
Michigan, approximately 2,33S. 900
bushels of grain have been used in
the yearly output of Michigan brew
cries.
The internal revenue report for the
year ending June 10, 1917, showed
that 2,33s,52l barrels of beer were
brewed in Michigan that year. Each
barrel contained 81 gallons and It has
been estimated that a bushel of grain
is used to make a barrel of beer.
The latest figures from the census
department concerning the liquor in
dustry in Michigan give the following
details: Capital invested sl2.3Si,OOO;
salarie" paid, $55S,OOO; wages paid,
$l.O7? 900; cost OF materials. $2.42l.-
vvv; value of products, $9.SiO.OOO:
value added by manufacturer, $7,419,-
600.
One of the anti-saloon league argu.
ments against the liquor industry in
Michigan has been the amount Of coal
consumed. Last winter when Mich.
gan industries were operated under
stringent coal conservation rules.
many schools throughout the state
had to close.
1t has been claimed that Michigan
breweTies used more than a quarter of
"A million tons of coal during the last
year covered by the internal revenue
report. This estimate Is partly based
on statement credited to L. D.
Leach, assistant fuel administrator
OF Ohio, who was quoted as saying
that reports indicated Ohio brewcrics
consumed practically a pound Of coal
to brew pint Of beer
If it is correct Michigan brewers
have consumed about 100000 tons of
coal to turn out 5Gl.2i5.OiO pints of
beer in the year 1867.

SECOND COMING
 OF CHRIST IS THE 7 SUBJECT TONIGHT . 1!

The religious lecturers who are giv. ing series of talks on signs" as related to Bible prophecies in the hall on Second street, near Sew ard, next to the Beattie Printing plant, last evening declared that the Bible plainly foretold the coming of Christ, and that the messages are just as plain regarding His second coming, which will be explained at the meeting tonight.
 3 They said that even as many of the Jews failed to recognize him, and demanded some physical tan gfble sign from Him when He ap- peared, so today many people fail to heed the many signs and warnings contained in the present war and the unrest of mankind generally, as foretold in the Bible and as preced. ing the prophecies of the Second Coming of Christ"
 The lecturers are Bible students and are giving interesting talks on religious matters and the interpre- tation of the Bible as they under stand 1t.

 The story is that of a salesman of sporting goods who is so thorough and SO expert that he even goes so far to attempt to demonstrate the efficacy of his methods-with dis astrous results. The victim is Slim Summerville-who has been ambig- uously termed thinner than the worlds thinnest person-and how Slim gets even at the dentists of fee is amusingly shown. Other scenes take place in an awesome court of justice, where Slim discov- CTS that certain pair of trousers he has long dmissed adorn the. judi cial1 flower limbs'' Following a regular riot in which Slim and "our hero o'4Ctester Cohklin. engage in sort of duel. i'a

CAMP LEWIS, TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 12.-Teaching men to write their own names in 8 single day when in many cases they had reach ed the ages of 30 years without having ever formed single letter of the alphabet, is one of the ac- complishments of the new develop ment battalion here which seeks ito give every man who has not been properly placed in the army chance to find his place where he can be of real service in winning the war"
 Once upon time if a man could not read nor write the English Ian guage he could not enlist under the United States banner. Now he is taken in through the draft and taught to read and write, and not only does the Army educate him in these two vital subjects. but takes him through practically the first five grades of grammar school
 The new soldier does his five grades in about three months. Many of the details of grade schools are lost sight of, but the soldier when he completes the course has prac. tically the learning of five years in grade schools.

 The victory of the Red Sox adds to the long line of American League victories since that fateful year eight years ago when Connie Mack's Hundred thousand dollar infield" broke up the championship career of the Chicago Cubs. Since that time, the American League has won eight championships and the Nation that one as a -fluke, because the Philadelphia Athletics were never a greater team than when the went down in four straight games before the Boston Braves in 1914.
 The Chicago. Cubs had won four National League pennants in five years when the Philadelphia Amer jeans defeated them in 1910 Pitts burgh won the pennant and the championship in 1909 This year is the first time the Cubs have won since that time.
