Serious Graft Charges.

Graft charges against friends of
Lundendorff. quartermaster general Of
all the Germanic armies, have been
conspicuous
The Deutsche Zeitung, commenting
on the recent Daimler graft revela-
tions, says
"The sensational exploitation Of the
Daimler case is prompted by small
party politics, but the German people
are not sufficiently Gallicized to find
pleasure in scandals like those of
Paris. The Daimler works have per-
formed great services for the Father
land and II the case is exploited In
Socialist fashion, the consequences to
the new war loan may be disastrous.
II is already reported that private per-
sons have withdrawn their subscrip-
tons on account of the scandal"
Late yesterday Washington heard
through unofficial channels that Count
Won Hertling. the German chancellor
was III. 1t was thought In many
quarters the report might be a sub
terfuge for retirement made necessary
for political reasons. When officials
of Won Hertling's rank are to be re-
placed an opportunity to plead I'll
health is usually given.
II there Is to be a new German
Chancellor 1t is believed a shift of
policy in Berlin Is imminent. Any
possible change might be favorable to
peace, IT is thought. as Won Hertling
has supported the militarists who
were in absolute control when the
last offensive in the west was started.
Another reason for the removal of
the present chancellor would be to
inspire confidence in any peace an
nouncement which might be contem-
plated. 1t is said. Such a move has
been expected since the hour 1t be-
came apparent that victory in France
was beyond the reach of the Kaiser.

School Commissioners
Notes--
May L. Stewart. Commissioner

Nearly all our schools again in ses-
sion. Everything going well and splen-
did attendance reported.
The Ranney school has a new table
ready for the hot noon lunch. Let the
cold season arrive now. They are
ready.
Best w. S. S. report this week came
from the Phelps school, C. H. Dewey,
teacher.
The teacher in primary room in Nc
Kinley school, st. James, holds the
record for being the best lady carpen-
ter among our teachers. She tore down
part of the fence because it was annoy
ing to her, took her old platform, turn
ed it upside down, put stout maple legs
on it for support and behold it was a
sand table of unusual merits. A paint
er working on the school building
touched it up little for her, and it is
as nice piece of furniture as you
need in any school room.
This is the patriotic instruction per-
iod. Every school should now be re-
ceiving daily lessons on war work.
There should be no relaxation because
of victory. Our work is far from fin
ished. Because Of the long closing
period, many teachers did not receive
their material until the very day of the
drive but it is expected that although
all have not yet reported in the affirma-
tive, we still have 100 per cent corps
of teachers in patriotic instruction

Thanksgiving
Proclamation
Thursday Next To Be Day of
Thanksgiving and Prayer.

"Now, therefore, our God, We thank
Thee and praise Thy glorious name"
We, the people of Michigan, have
many reasons for thankfulness.
We are thankful that our fertile fields
have yielded abundantly of their fruits.
We are thankful that a dread epi-
demic has been stayed, through the
prompt measures taken by the public
health authorities throughout the State
and the intelligent cooperation of the
whole people.
We are thankful that we are Ameri-
cans, and that no part of our land has
been laid waste by the cruel ravages of
war;
We are thankful that our Michigan
soldiers and sailors, by their deeds of
valor, have written glorious chapter
in the annals of the Great War; and
that the indomitable spirit of our peo-
pie has manifested itself to the end.
But, most of all, are we thankful that
this terrible, devastating war, which
for more than nineteen months has
dominated our thought and dictated
our action, is at last practically ended
and soon we shall be free to devote our
energies and activities toathe construc-
tive arts of peace. The long night of
darkness and sorrow and travail and
tears and blood is over and the day Of
blessed peace has dawned upon the
world-peace with victory.
Therefore, l, Albert E. Sleeper,
Governor of the State of Michigan, do
hereby join the President of the United
States in designating Thursday, the
twenty-eighth day of November next,
as day of Thanksgiving and Prayer"
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State, this eighteenth day of
November, in the year of our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and eighteen,
and of the Commonwealth the eighty
second.

GET MILK TESTED AT
SCHOOL.

The East Jordan High School is pre-
pared to test milk and cream for far
mers and will be glad to do so at any
time in connection with work which is
being done in agriculture. II is of
particular Importance that farmers test
the milk of each individual COW. Many
times it is found that the cow which is
supposed to be giving the richest milk
is in reality giving very inferior grade
of milk. The only reliable thing to do
is to have the milk tested. Bring in
small samples of the milk of each cow
to r. II. Sill, teacher of agriculture at
the High School and the milk will be
tested without any charge.

CITY LIBRARY

The selection of books and magazines
for the East Jordan Public Library is
well under way. Only a small order
can be sent in at this time, but when
finances are in a little better shape,
larger orders of books will be made
from time to time.
We shall surely be glad to have our
library open and ready for service. The
committee in charge is doing every
thing in its power to have the few
books and magazines ordered well
balanced and with variety of interests.
The library's main strength will be in
current magazines for both men and
women, with special emphasis on pub
lications for boys, and with two of the
best magazines for little folks. Refer
ence books have been carefully select
ed and it is agreed that remainder of
.lbobks should consist of well-chosen
: \a6h-fiction together with considerable
fiction of both past and present. A
special effort will be made to secure
DtSl vi ItCtut WAL DOOkS.
Since many OF our patrons have al
ready spoken of wishing to contribute
the library many of their own best
books, and since we shall need all
these contributions, in order to begin
our library as heavily Stocked as we
shall wish it to be, the committee hesi-
tates to order any books until contri-
buttons are made. We may thus avoid
duplicates, and build up our book lists
by including in our catalogue books
that we want and need but which we
could rot have had if more necessary
books had not already been donated to
tho library.
The committee in charge therefore
wishes to urge all possible donations
and will be glad to look over all books
submitted for their approval. M. E.
Ashley & Co., have kindly consented
to receive all books to be held for
library use, and turned over to book
committee, and join with the committee
in urging these contributions during
the next two weeks.
For the library board we wish to
thank in advance all donors of books.
