OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM.

A doughboy in France in a letter
home tells how he and several com
panions visited a school in Paris. II
seems that the teacher was very anx
ious to show OF her little pupils and
especially to show the sammies that
America was not forgotten in her
teaching. So she asked one little girl:
What Is the national anthem OF
your countryg"

promptly.

soldiers came fromT

Mr.. and MRS. WIN. MORRISON
CELEBRATED LAST THURSDAY
AMONG OUR FIRST SETTLERS
Came to Crystal FAILS Before the
Railroad Was Completed and
Resided Here Since

Mr. ana MIS-. william MOrriSOn Gel
ebrated the fiftieth anniversary OF
their wedding at their home In Maple
/, Grove last Thursday. Mr.. and Mrs.
Morrison were married at Negaunee
on January %. 1869.
The pioneer couple thought to spend
their anniversary alone, the real cell
ebration TO be had next summer
when their children might be able TO
congregate under the old home roof,
but in this were disappointed for
their neighbors learned OF the fact
that they were to round out half
century of married life on Thursday
last and a large number of friends
congregated at the Morrison home on
Thursday evening.
The affair was managed by the
Woman's club of this city to which
Mrs. Morrison belongs and to which
organization she is very devoted
member.
One of the very pleasant events of
the evening was the presentation OF
gold piece to the celebrants by Mrs.
George yoos. president OF the club.
Mrs. yoos made very fine presenta-
tion speech in which she reviewed
the history OF the many years OF use
ful life, the numerous kindnesses and
neighborly devotion shown by Mr.. and
Mrs. Morrison in their many years OF
residence in Crystal Falls.
Came Here Before Railroad.
Captain William Morrison was one
OF the very first settlers in Crystal
Falls. He came to the Menominee
range I'm the latter seventies. On the
Marquette range he had had charge OF
the Spur mine at Michigamme and
was we'll known as a mining man OF
wide experience.
He started to work for the Menom-
inee Mining Co. at Vulcan and follow
ed the Developments along the range
arriving at Florence in 1879 where
he was placed in charge OF the Flor
ence mine which was being opened by
the Milwaukee concern.
In 1881 he came to Crystal Falls
to take charge of the Fairbanks mine

Mr. Morrison brought his wife 10
Crystal Falls soon afterwards. and
the couple has resided here since that
time. He built the first house in the
Maple Grove addition to this city, IN,
one In which he now resides.
A family OF children, three boys
and five girls was raised by Mr.. and
Mrs. Morrison, all OF them grown te

Governor Sleeper Asks Citizens 10
Honor Michigan's Dead That Day.

Suggesting that citizens OF Michigan
pay loving tribute 10 many of the
brave boys who so freely offered
their lives in our cause who will not
come back 10 u.s." Governor Sleeper,
In proclamation Friday, set apart
Sunday, February 2, as Memorial Sun
day, requesting appropriate church
services, particularly in the morning,
general memorial services with suit
able music and addresses in the af-
ternoon, the displaying OF flags at
half stan, and that citizens wear a
little bow of white ribbon as an ex-
preston of loving remembrance.
The Memorial Sunday movement
was initiated in Detroit and will be
carried out there, Governor Sleeper
having decided to extend the scope OF
the tribute to the entire state, IL pos
sible.
The governors proclamation fol-
lows:
Many OF the brave boys who so
freely offered their lives in our cause
will not come back to us. Some of
them sleep in sunny France. Some
lie "in Flanders Field" among the
poppies. Some went down to the sea
In ships and there met cruel fate.
Some were cut off by accident and
disease in our own land They all
died that Freedom might still live;
and, while our heads are bowed with
sorrow, our hearts are filled with
pride and thankfulness when we think
of their willing spirit of service. We
shall not forget their splendid achieve
merts.
1T is Citing, however, that we
should in some special way manifest
our appreciation of their noble de-
yotion and sacrifice.
Therefore, in order that we NAV
pay tribute OF respect and affection
to the memory OF the gallant lads who
died for us, /, Albert Il. Sleeper, gov
ernor OF the state OF Michigan, do is
sue this my proclamation and hereby
designate and set aside Sunday, the
second day of February, nineteen hun
dred and nineteen. as Memorial Sun
day for Michigan's martyred sons In
the Great War
And l earnestly request the people
OF the state to gather on that day in
their accustomed places OF worship
and there hold appropriate and sol.
emn services in memory OF our hon
ored dead Let every church in
Michigan devote one service, prefer
ably the morning service, to this pur-
pose
Il suggest too that, in communities
where this plan is practicable, the
laymen arrange for a general service,
with a suitable program OF music and
addresses, to be held in the afternoon
II further request that during the
day flags be displayed at half-mast,
and that every one wear a small bow
of white ribbon in loving remem-
brance of those who will not return to
us.

That Vrter Backed the Salvation
Al ~ In Getting war Funds.

Many people have wondered how
the Salvation army could do so much
work in the war zon6 on the small
public subscriptions that It receiytd.
There has been the least noise about
the work OF the Salvation Army OF any
organization doing war work, vet IL
seemed to have plenty of funds To
carry on its work, and all concede
that II did It's work In a manner that
had no equal.
A recent issue OF Golfers Magazine
contained an article that threw a
great deal OF light upon the question
OF finances for this organization. This
article told the world for the frst
time OF the work that the Elks did
Tor 1t was the Elks that backed the
Salvation Army and made It possible,
Tor that organization to attempt tbs.

our soldiers.
The Elks are body OF red -blooded
Americans. They don't boast much OF
their charities, but the order does
more In proportion to its size in num-
oers IN a charitable way than many
orders numerically superior.
The Elks took over the drive for
FUNDS for the Salvation Army in most
OF the large centers and they got tho
money, too. Elks are free spenders
as rule and free givers as well. Thev
didn't spend much in flashing posters:
they simply went out and got the
money; then turned II over to the
Salvation Army.
Among the leaders in this work was
John X. Tenner. former governor os
pennsylvania and also OF the Nationaf
Baseball League. Tenner was once A
baseball pitcher, and stands high in
the councils OF the Elks. He is a suc-
cessful business man and had asso-
ciated with him in this work OF back
ing the S. A." number OF other
prominent business and professional
men OF the country.
The Salvation Army girls had the
right-of-way In the war zofe I'm
France. A returned soldier in ex-
planning why it was that the Salvation,
Army girls were always "Johnny-on.-

boys would give first attention to Sc
curing some place for the women 10

time she would be turning out dough

All the stun the Salvation Army
got was free. The boys say that IL
was beyond comprehension how these
women were able to do the things they
did. They were always able TO shift
Tor themselves and never complained.

IRON RIVER PAPER SAYS IT HAS
NO ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE
on POOR COM. MATTERS
Heard Some People Complaining
But it Doesn't Know the Facts
in the Case

In signed article which appeared
In last weeks Iron River Stambaugh
Reporter, Editor O'Brien attempted to
reply to the statements made by Mr..
Scott TO Diamond Drill reporter re-
Gently. report OF which appeared in
these columns two weeks ago.
Mr.. O'Brien's reply is anything but
a reply. 1t rambles from one sub
ject to another. first taking a fling at
The Diamond Drill by accusing us OF
putting words into the mouths of 9TH
ers, then covering the controversy
with the local board last summer,
then branching off upon street gossip
at Iron River and finally winding p
with deftly worded attempt to "get
out from under"
The whole article is so funny that
IL reminds us of speech that Editor
OBrien made in the lower house of
the state legislature a couple of years
ago The subject was the enforce
ment of the game laws. Someone
tried to tamper with the original bill
which left the closing of the game
season to the state authorities. The
Joker substituted the boards of SUI
pervisors OF the different counties. In
his exposition Of the great wisdom of
state officials and the lack OF wisdom
on the part of county supervisors, Mr.
o'Brien grew eloquent and wound up
a burst of enthusiastic rhetoric with
the following: MY friend seeks to
take this power out of the hands of
the state authorities and place II In
the hands of the supervisors. Now,
what do supervisors know, anyway;
why, gentlemen, they don't know any
more than ! do"

Running True to Form.

In his arraignment of the poor COM
missioners 1t would appear that he Is
running true to his game law speech.
II was supposed when the Reporter
started ont on It's crusade against the
poor commissioners that II really had
something on the commissioners and
that the result Of the expose would
be highly beneficial to the county
that the commissioners would be told
where they were at fault and that a
change in their ways would be brought
about or new commissioners given
the reins who would remedy the de-
fects.
So far, however, there has been on
ly a lot Of innuendoes and intimations
There hasn't been one specific case
mentioned by name although there
have been several John Doe indict-
ments.
