Wet and Dry Fight in
Ohio Next November
Expected to Be Bitter
(By Associated Press)

COLUMBUS, o., April 17.-With the
prohibition question predominating.
one of the most bitter and hardest
contested elections in the history OF
Ohio is expected next November.
The wet and dry fight will go before
Ohio voters in two forms. The dryS
have initiated an amendment to the
state constitution providing for state
wide prohibition, and in addition will
make hard fight to elect legisla-
ture which Will ratify the federal pro-
hibition amendment next winter.
AS Ohio is nearly evenly divided on
the statewide prohibition question. the
wet and dry issue is expected to enter
largely into the regular political cam
paign. A governor, Acknowledgements
or, secretary of state and judges of the
supreme court are to be elected. So
far. no formal announcement of can
didacies have been made and both
parties have remained quiet on the
subject of endorsing statewide prohi-
bition. Last year Ohio returned wet
majority of lib on proposed amend.
ment to the state constitution. The
wet majority in 1915 was 55,40S.

constitutional amendment providing
for a referendum on the question in
the event the legislature ratifies the
federal prohibition amendment.
Another proposed constitutional
amendment to be voted upon was sub.
mitted by the last session of the legis.
lature and would prohibit double tax.
alton by avoiding tax upon real
estate mortgages.
To date no unusual congressional
contests have come to view.
The general interest seems to cen.
ter in the prohibition drive and the
gubernatorial fight. Present indica.
tions are that Governor James NJ. Cox
will be a candidate for reelection on
the Democratic ticket, and that his Re-
publican opponent may be Frank B.
Willis, former governor. Willis defeat
ed Cox four years ago and Cox de-
feated Willis two years ago.

1t started first, long years ago,
When the world was in its youth
When Ananias and his wife,
Both failed to tell the truth
And though their fate is known to all,
Their sad untimely death
The lesson seems to count for naught,
And matters do not mend
The Annailias Club has grown.
And made the race go wrong:
The worlds prevaricators now,
Are many millions strong.
Their ranks are filled from every race,
or every cline and zone,
With faithless ones, both poor and

From howell up to throne.
But sometime in the future,
For the world is past its youth
They'll find a conflagration,
For those who sold the truth.
And where the fame leaps highest,
And blinds Ananias' eyes,
Will writhe the Kaiser Wilhelm
In a fire that never dies. H..

Drug Stores
Consolidated
"Gidley & Mac" is Name Of the
New Firm.

The East Jordan Drug Company and
Druggist James Gidley, who have con-
Quoted drug stores on opposite ends of
the same block for number of years,
have pooled their interests and will
operate the store, occupied by the East
Jordan Drug Co.
Charles j. Mcnamara and James Gid
ley are the proprietors and they will
conduct the one store under the firm
name Of "Gidley G Mac" At present
both gentlemen are busy moving the
stock and fixtures from the old Gidley
store, corner Main and State Sts., to
the location corner Main and Esterly
streets. 1t will probably be several
weeks before they are finally adjusted
to the new order of things.
Mr.. Gidley has conducted a drug
store at the old site for some fifteen
years. The matter of securing COM
petent help is becoming serious
question and by combining the stores
Messrs Gidley & Mcnamara will be
better able to care for the patronage.

London.-Captain M, one Of the
British Flying corps, ambling watch
fully behind a great bank Of rolling
clouds, spied In q rift below a Ger
man patrol of six machines. The COM
bat was short, sharp and unequal. I'm
mediately his gun barked Off. A Ger
man dived headlong for the earth. His
leader swept out Of formation to meet
the daring Britisher and followed suit.
Enraged, the four others dashed for

came. For the latter only one course
was optional. Sweeping low from the

Flying corps work overtime, and then

intermission, until the rain clouds
gather or the fresh wind grows too un-

ways. ammunition dumps, aerodromes
and billets In back villages.

of the great Red Cross mercy fund
drive and also in the interests of the

Major Cressey is the man who advo-

even to Michigan.

Night. Fairs
To Be Feature
Of the Charlevoix County Fair
at East Jordan This Fall.

The executive committe of the Char
levoix County Agricultural Society met
at the Secretary's office in East Jordan
on Monday, May 18th, and decided to
have the grounds and buildings wired
for electricity, wiring to be finished in
q Ne for use at the 1918 fair. The COM
mittee also decided to hold night fair
on the nights of Sept. 1S-l9-20th.
The need for electricity on the
grounds has been felt for some time as
there are manufacturers OF machinery
run by electricity who have desired to
exhibit their machines and have been
unable to do so in the past and then
there have been days during fairs of
the past which have been so dark that
it was practically impossible to see
some of the exhibits i'll the buildings.
The night fair is new departure in
the fairs of Northern Michigan but has
been tried with great success in other
sections of the country. Early indica-
tions are that the 1918 Charlevoix
County Fair will be hummer.
The secretary has secured for free
attractions Bee Ho Gray's Great Wild
West Show and has contracted for one
large tent show, two small tent shows,
one automatic baseball game, one high
striker, one shooting gallery, one ball
throwing game one large electric show
and an excellent Merry. y.go-Round.
With these as starter, the manage
ment is assured good midway attrac-
tions, feature in which the fairs OF
the past two years have been lacking.
In addition TO these features there
will be good horse racing each day,
band concerts and with the help of the
county agent very good exhibits in all
departments. II is expected that the
exhibits in the cattle department will
be unusually fine as a number of own
ers Of thoroughbred cattle in this and
adjoining counties have signified their
intention to exhibit their best stock.
Work on the new poultry shed will
be started in the near future and it is
hoped that owners OF good poultry will
fill this new building with their best
birds.
The fireworks for the night fair are
being purchased from the Martins
Fireworks Co., of Fort Dodge, Iowa
and are displays of unusual merit.
The association asks that all farmers
and stock breeders bear the Charlevoix
County Fair in mind and that they will
at this time make their plans for ex-
hibiting their best products at the 1918
Fair

THE CHEAPEST THING
ON EARTH TODAY

is human life. Germany is sacrificing
many thousands of men daily simply to
satisfy the greed of the vilest being
who has ever lived. Nero was quite a
decent gentleman as compared with
Kaiser Bill.
The next cheapest is honor. Many
men sacrifice their honor for few
paltry dollars. During the Civil War,
President Abraham Lincoln, "by a
stroke of the pen" freed the negro
slaves in the United States. These
slaves were sold by their owners for
an average price Of one thousand dol
lars each, for both men and women,
and when we compare the price OF
these negro slaves with the price OF
white men, who sell themselves into
slavery, it shows great decrease in
the price Of slaves.
The old negro slave was an ignorant
man, who could work hard, but who
could neither read nor write. The

in many cases, finely educated, but be-
ing possessed with the demon rum,
gambling, licentiousness, dishonesty
and lack of honor, cause them to sell
themselves for "mess of pottage,'
some for five dollars, some for one
hundred dollars and others for larger
sums according to the value they place
on their old dust carcuss minus honor
as well as the value or price for the
disgrace and suffering, placed upor
their families.
This great war for democracy and
honor that comes with, and belongs te
it, has already brought about a new
world and we are all in II and IL is uT
