BRINK

Mrs. M. L. Howe, the correspond
emit, says over the telephone, that on
account of the blizzardy weather con-
ditions it is impossible to get news as
the neighbors all along the line are
housed up and showed in; no one go
ing or coming. Shoveling snow is the
order of business to clear the roads,
combined with stuffing the stoves
with wood to keep the house warm.
Mrs. Howe is still in bed and has been
neaely all the time since her injury
last June. She says M. L. is doing
the house work and is a fine cook and
puts up the meals in fine shape. She
salt she never. tasted better beef
steak than he serves her.
Everybody in this neighborhood,
who can, will go to the Clyde Snow
auction Thursday.

Lake Odessa. Editor: In the
Wave-Times Of December % we read
an account Of the narrow escape of
Jesse vester when tree fell on Louis
Edgar's farm and broke Mr.. Edgar
leg. Now we fail to see wherein
Jesse's escape was so narrow. Was
Jesse on the farm when the tree fell ?
How was Jesse connected with Mr.
Edgar's leg? Was he trying to pull
it when it was broken? If the tree
had not fallen on Mr.. Edgar's leg
would it have fallen on Jesse? Please
connect Jesse and the tree. We also
notice that a fire broke out in the rear
of the county pail. Now how are we
to determine which is the rear Of Q
pail? How does the county pail diff.
fer from any other pail? Did the
sparks that caused the damage lodge
in the water?

Greenville. Senator Miller of
Montcalm county says: I'D wipe ev-
cry fish law off the books if / had
my say"
The senator tells that there is al
ways sportsmen about Lansing try
ing to get the fish laws fixed up to
suit them. One of them got a bill in
troduced to have all farmers who have
wire across creeks to put in a gate so
fishermen could go up and down the
stream. The senator was not pleased
when the last legislature voted $500
increase in salary Of the state warden.
Neither does he believe that some of
the other appropriations were war
ranted and although he was alone in
this opinion he was brave enough to
publicly say so and vote no. The
senator has learned that legislation is
the result of compromise and kind
of "tickle me, tickle you" business,
and hopes some time the legislature
will be big enough to vote things as
they are seen, not as matter of ex-
pediency.

Howard City.-We understand that
both the winter panels of Montcalm
county jurymen so far have been call
ed to Stanton at heavy expense to the
county and discharged from service
the same day, says the Howard City
Record. Some Of the jurymen were
allowed expense bills as high as SD
each.
We can see little sense or economy
in continuing such a farce longer
These jurymen could be notified that
they were not needed and there would
be very little expense.
In time of war like this-the tenn.
per of the people is not Of mood te
tolerate such bungling and misman
agement and entirely different proce-
dure is demanded. For years thi.
condition has been becoming more no
torious. In the day of Hover is .
good time to declare a halt on such
wanton extravaganza and misuse OF
the peoples funds.

few days but there is no chance for
while yet. But / have some good
news for you and that is / am going
to take out an insurance for four

terest on $50 loaned to the boy 81
years ago.
Mr.. Grawn had taken a special in
terest in the boy as pupil, and in 1879
induced him TO attend school at Ypsi-
lanti. 1t was in the boys last year at
Ypsilanti, in 1880, that he wrote Mr.,
Grawn, at that time teacher in the
Plymouth schools, asking for a loan
Of $50. The loan was granted.
Mr.. Grawn had not heard Of the boy
since that time and had forgotten
about the $50 until he was reminded
of the incident this week by receiving
the check for 500. The sender had
lost track of Mr.. Grawn's where
abouts, but recently secured his adj
dress by seeing his name in western
newspaper.
The boy went west in the early 80s
and has become prosperous business
man in the state of Washington.

Lakeview.-The Lakeview House
for many years the leading hotel al

Saturday night. With the prevailing
high price of everything used in 8
hotel, the management found it diff

and decided to close rather than tx
continue a losing game.
Lakeview has had two good hotels
for several years, but the town is mo-
large enough to support more thar
one.

YOUR DOLLAR
MAY DECIDE

Don't ever get it in your
head that YOUR dollar isn't
needed. There may be a dispo-
sitiOn to consider that each fell
lows bond purchase is lost in
the big general shuttle, that he
cannot see the immediate and
practical strength of his indi-
vidual effort. This idea is al.
wrong. Each dollar does it's
specific duty and does it now,
when every energy is needed
to stem this tide that is bend
ing civilization double.
Every dollar now. is worth
two presently toward stopping
the war.
Wouldn't it be a satisfaction
to you, as a red-blooded Ameri-
can, to know that you had
bought the shell that had blown
up a submarine-or your rifle
in the sniper's hands, had
picked off a Prussian officer?
Cannot you imagine the graft
fication you would feel that it
was your shell that had blown a
German trench into kingdom
come?
Your bond will feed your son.
or some other patriotic Ameri-
cans son, for one whole year,
over there in shell-torn France
and Belgium.
Close and strict cooperation
is now the watchword among
the Allied armies in Europe,
and it must likewise be the slo-
gan that governs us at home in
furnishing the sinews that
makes progress at the front
possible.
Here are some of the vitality
necessary things your money
will buy:
FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOL
LARS WORTH OF LIBERTY
BONDS WILL:
Buy motor ambulance
Buy a five passenger motor
car for a machine-gun bat
talon.
TWELVE HUNDRED DOL
LARS WORTH OF LIBERTY
BONDS WILL:
Provide horses to draw a gun
in an ammunition train.
ONE ONE THOUSAND
DOLLAR BOND WILL:
Buy an X-ray apparatus out
fit
Buy six cases of operating
instruments for a base hos
pital.
EIGHT ONE HUNDRED
DOLLAR BONDS WILL:
Furnish four mules to draw
an ambulance.
ONE FIVE HUNDRED DOL
LAR BOND WILL:
Supply bicycles for the head
quarters company of an
infantry regiment.
FOUR ONE HUNDRED
DOLLAR BONDS WILL:
Buy an X-ray outfit.
