BETTER SERVICE CAMPAIGN.
Express Company Wants Better Pack.
Ing and Better Marking.

The American Railway Express Co
has inaugurated a nationwide cam
paign TO bring about better methods
OF packing and marking express ship
ments. "One OF the most serious prob
lens that the company has to face is
that OF "No Mark" express matter" :"
Agent Behan states
There are shipments which, be-
cause OF their inadequate packing or
marking. lose all trace OF identifica-
tlon, either OF the shipper or the con-
signee, and must be sent 10 the mo
Mark" bureau where every effort Is
made to put them back on the right
track. The use Of tags is being dis
couraged. except where absolutely
necessary, and then two should be
added"
Never before in the history OF trans
portation, the local express head de-
clares, has there been such a deter
mined effort on the part OF a public
utility to better its service. The
drive is OF marked Importance TO
every business man, because the sub
ject represents matter of dollars
and cents to them. He expressed a
belief that IL business heads would
take personal interest in their ship
ping departments to see that the best
methods were being followed in the
matter OF packing and marking ship
ments, it would be OF great help in
bringing about better express service.
Frank Simoni has been instructed
to keep watch on the conditions OF
business as 1t reaches here and to
call personally on shippers whose
consignments need attention.

THE vI.rrE OF ADVERTISING.

It's simply marvellous what a little
bit OF printers ink will do.
In recent edition OF The Diamond
Drill we printed a story sboLt GER
tain man who came 20 this town and
wanted TO go on a little outing. hut
did not know where TO buy bread foc
the lunch he had planned. Not ind
ing bread advertised in The Drill fust
naturally thought there was no such
thing as a bakery In town.
Well what we started 10 stay -
this: Since reading that article a
number OF local business men are now
buying MADE in Crystal Falls" bak-
cry goods, and IL is safe TO say that
they are getting Al service and
goods.
It's advertising that makes this old

Dear Mother:
The lights are out. so there isn't
much doing as far as giving out books
is concerned, so will write Just note
anyway.
These are busy days as we are try
ing to get lot OF new books on the
shelf which means lot of work, for
they have to be labeled. pocket pasted
on, stamped, etc. A hundred day is
big task, aside from taking care Of
the desk. Had surprise last night
Ran into Sam Ham at the Hotel Cen
tral. He was too surprised TO talk
for a few minutes. Never saw him
looking better Today Charles Han
sen OF Crystal Falls came to see me-
Am very proud OF him. He has won
the Croix de Guerre, and is now aid
to Brig General Mitchell, on his way
to Washington. He will soon be home
on a furlough. Beltran Flood also won
one-the two boys were working to-
gether- stringing wire for phones
under fire.
Had great trip last Saturday. At
ter l wrote you we went to Vouoray,
then back TO the Castle Of Rochecar-
bon. Getting off the car we walked at
the base Of the perpendicular cliff for
miles. This cliff is tunneled and filled
with rooms which have chimneys built
up high above the cliff on the out
side. Will try and get some post
cards, so you can see them too.
II would do your soul good to see a
father and son visiting after being
separated for Is months. Both OF
their faces are just shining He is a
"Y" man, on leave here.
The American soldier is the finest
lad in the world, and my hat goes off
TO him every time. II there is any
thing under heaven in my power to do
for him, that is the thing that will
give me the greatest happiness. Shall
miss the uniform when / get home
II will seem strange not to greet
every boy one meets on the street.
Many OF them are pining for a
chance to go home. for now that the
armistice is signed they feel they are
not needed, especially married men.
Must close for busy time is just ar
riving. Hope To hear from you again

CHAPTER WELCOMED SOLDIERS.
Crystal Falls Masonic Body Held
Enjoyable Reception and Banquet.

The reception and banquet given by
Crystal Falls. chapter No. 129, II. A.
M. to its soldier members last Tues
day evening was an event that will
long be remembered by those who
were fortunate enough to be able to
attend.
1t was the first real. old time, en-
thusiastic meeting that the chapter
has had since the war engaged the
attention OF It's members. Added to
the war was the additional Interrupt
ton which the flu gave to all social
and lodge functions during the last
six months. SO, in addition to it's
having been an occasion OF welcome
to its members who entered the ser
vice OF their country. II was a sort OF
get-together meeting OF all the
members OF the chapter.
The ceremonies started at O'Clock
p. m. when the chapter held a session
at which the Past and Most Excellent
degrees We're conferred on a class OF
three candidates. This work lasted
until nearly o'clock at which time
reception was held in honor OF the re-
turned soldiers who held membership
in the chapter.
Crystal Falls chapter has four SOL
dier members back from service and
they are: Captain j. ]. Griniths, Reg
inald Bengry, Ray Gasley and Lieut..
A. l.. Haight. They were given a
hearty hand-shake and welcome
home at the informal reception which
preceded the banquet and which last
ed about half an hour.
At $3.50 the members TO the number
OF go sat down to the banquet table.
1t was the first affair OF the kind
since the food regulations went on
nearly two years ago and those having
the affair in hand took the lid of and
prepared one OF the finest meals ever
partaken OF in Masonic hall.
Frank Scadden, one OF the best
known Masons in Michigan and now
the executive officer OF Ahmed temple,
Mystic Shrine, was chosen as toast
master. Mr.. Scadden took his past
masters degree in the toastmaster's
work many years ago, but he never
shined with brighter luster than when
he presided over the affair last Tues
day
The immense significance OF the
ending OF the world struggle and the
safe return home OF Americas brave
boys added lustre TO the affair that
buoyed up the spirits OF everyone
present.
Among the speakers were, Rev.
Coombe and Charles Harger OF Iron
River; Chas. f. Lawrence OF Palatka.
and Prof. @. e. Bishop OF Alpha.
The address OF Mr.. Lawrence was "A
master effort and brought out much
favorable comment II was construc-
tive and, basing It's premises upon the
world war, led out into the future OF
this nation and the world.
Responses 10 the toasts OF welcome
were made by each OF the four guests
OF honor.
II was well past the hour OF eight
o'clock before the banqueters decided
to suspend the very entertaining work
in hand and resume lodge work. which
Consisted in the comforting OF the Roy
al Arch Degree.
Those present from outside OF Crys-
tai Falls and Alpha were: Geo. Iry-
ing, Iron Mountain; Caot. Harry DuR.

Result Noticed Here.

While Crystal Falls hasn't been bad
ly affected by the decision mentioned,
yet the effect Is noticed here. For
many months Crystal Falls has been
free from drunks, but during the last
week they have put in their appear
ance again and with the coming OF
better road weather the drunks will
increase unless some such action IL
taken here as was taken In Monroe
county.
There isn't any reason why our
county authorities can't take the
same course and put an end to the
toting OF liquor. especially that which
is brought here from Florence TO be
retailed out in blind pigs.
New Law on Way.
The condition will not last long
anyway. for the new law which f.
designed 10 take care OF the booze
question has been practically agreed
to. II Is now being scanned for Legal
points and as soon as It is pronounced
perfect by the legal advisers II will
be put through the legislature with
a whoop.
The harvest time will not last long
but many are improving the time
while II lasts.

STATE AUTHORITIES RESORT TO
INJUNCTION TO HALT TRAFFIC
HASN'T REACHED HERE YET
Iohn Dee Search Warrants and Fed.
eral Officials Make Life Miser-
able for Runners on Border

The flooding OF Michigan with
booze which resulted from the action
of the supreme court in declaring in
valid the Damon law which provided
for the enforcement OF the constitu-
tional injunction, has been brought to
sudden halt. For about a week there
was one glorious old time along the
Ohio border. There was considerable
latitude here, also, but the snow time
is not time to roam the roads in this
part OF Michigan, SO we haven't felt
the sting OF the decision so forcibly
as have our southern Michigan
neighbors.
Injunction Resorted To.
SO fragrant were the abuses in the
running OF booze along the Toledo
Detroit that authorities had to get
busy and get relief OF some kind. The
streets Of Monroe was said TO be un-
safe for travel because OF the immense
traffic carried on over It. Observers
reported an average OF "A automobiles
per hour, all OF them engaged in the
Illicit liquor trade.
Attorney General Groesbeck came
to bat Immediately and he put the In
dian sign over the runners by secur-
ing an injunction from the state
courts prohibiting persons from us
ing the state highways for illegal traf-
fic. In addition, the Federal authori-
ties got busy and sent force OF men
to prevent violations OF the Federal
law.
Next Mr.. Groesbeck secured search
warrants for every interurban car on
the Toledo Detroit line, and, in ad-
dition was granted q number OF John
Doe warrants for automobiles and
other agencies used to evade the
laws.
The result was electrical for the
count showed that the first days
roundup netted over 100 men in Jail
besides those that had been turned
over to the Federal authorities.
This prompt action OF the state
authorities put such crimp in the
business OF booze running along the
Ohio border that the condition Il,
very much improved.

First Contest In Years /.


This municipality is to witness the
first real, live contest that has taken
place therein in many years. For the
past decade contests in that township
have been comparatively few and
tame affairs with one or two contest
ants. But the lid Is off this year and
the limit is the sky.
AS result candidates have piled up
for several OF the Offices at a rate un-
thought OF heretofore. The treasur-
er's job and the road jobs seem to be
the goal Of the most ambition for
there are only 13 candidates for the
three Offices mentioned.
The ballot was printed yesterday
and it is as follows:
For Supervisor Vote for one)-

m THOMAS CONLIN

Two Precincts 10 Vote.
Heretofore there has been but one
primary precinct in the township
while there are two voting precincts.
This year things will be changed and
primary will be held at the Amasa-
Porter mine as well as at the town
ship headquarters at the Tobin mine.
The result will undoubtedly be a
much large turning out OF voters in
the north end OF the township than
ever before. The prospect OF such a
turnout has brought into the field
two candidates from the north end, Eli
Puotinen and Alex Aho. There has
been big registration OF women cleo
tors In this township. In precinct No.
l there have registered 10 date 125 wo-
men and in precinct No. 2 1t is under
stood that there are in the ,neighbor-
hOou VI w Wohch ItBlbbeItu.
City Affair n Tame One.
The city primary will be tame af-
fair. There is but one commissioner
to elect and Mr.. BjorK has given such
excellent satisfaction in the position
that there hasn't been whisper OF
opposition to him.
The Office OF justice OF the peace is
to be the bone OF contention. Louis
Miesler and W. X. Dawson are the
contestants. but as the primary provis-
ion calls for first and second choice
being certified to on the election bal
lot, the primary contest will not be
very strenuous. Both names will go
upon the ballot anyway. and the fight
will be settled In the election.
