On the Lincoln Highway,


Grand Island, Neb., Aug. "a
recent trip over the great Lincoln
Highway from Grand Island to

big INTERPRETATIONS Of finding
good roads ahead and find the re-
verse, SO much of the time. My ad-
vice is to all "do not expect much
and your shock will be much light
err" There Is some good stretches
on the way--of these we will say
nothing for we feel that we are en-
titled to little rest between the
breakers.
Lincoln Highway" The name
itself has stimulated us all to ex-
pect smooth surfaced road, but
instead of this, the way is full Of
chuck holes, high bridges. ETC.. etc.
There Is one stretch of Is miles Of
sand road from Gothenburg to
within 10 miles Of North Platte
that is disgrace to the paint on
the posts. This road never was
worked-not in this generation-a
little old hay or straw would re-
lieve the present trouble, but alas!
no one has time to fix it. Parts of
Keith county are very dangerous, I'M
less you drive very slow. In fact,
a pedestrian Is taking some chances
unless he keeps his eye on the way
before him.
There is plenty Of money in the
treasury and some Of it should be
spent on these roads. Two section
men, with team and shovels could
keep up 10 miles or more, after
the road is put in shape and the
expense would not be great And
that is what this money is for any,
way. I have heard many men say
that they would like to pay $25
license if the money was spent on
these roads. believe less BAN
quets and more real road work
would give us a better name to our
eastern and western neighbors. 1t
would be better to change the name
Of the Lincoln Highway or make
better road out Of it.
If there are any doubters among
your readers, just let them try it
out once and they will go back the
other way. J. H. DAVIS.

Helped Get Crooked Sheriff

George Stout, a former resident of
this city but who is now an inspector
in the state food and drug depart
ment was one of the men who helped
~ harley, of Monroe county
who it is alleged has at various times
sold liquor which had been confscat-
ed from whiskey runners. Mr.. Stout
and another inspector purchased ten
quarts Of liquor from the sheriff at
$40 per quart and paid $50 down on
it, agreeing to pay the other $50 at
some other time. The trap worked
and the alleged crooked sheriff was
caught in it. The governor has or
dered him removed from office, but he
has retained an attorney and is going
to fight to hold his job, claiming that
the men who are acting as witnesses
against him are guilty of framing up
charge to get him in trouble.

The Belding- Banner News would
never discourage an advertiser from
changing his ad. 1t believes that the
man who uses his space to feature

the way to bigger business, when he
will consistently need and use more

Still it is foolish to say that the
man who keeps a standing ad week

is placing his sign board in a place
where it is seen a great many more

arrival of the money from Flint to
the local bank, he would like to get
the machine then and make the trip
to the beach with it. The owner of
the machine thought that it was all
right and let him take it. That was
the last he ever saw of his machine
and no money ever came to the bank.
No one saw Meyers back in Bad Axe
again until Friday morning when he
reached there with the Huron county
sheriff.
1t is alleged that Meyers showed
up at Stanton about that time and
that he was driving a Ford. He sold
this to a man near Stanton and gave
bill Of sale in the transaction. He
was taken in kindly by the people of
Stanton and finally left there in COM
pany with young lady of that place
living in Grand Rapids at the time
of his arrest. When he was arrested
Meyers fought against having the
handouts placed on him and when
Sheriff Ford took him in custody he
begged that he be allowed to make
the trip to Stanton with his hands
free. This was denied him and he
passed through this city where he once
had sympathy, respect and homer paid
him, on Thursday morning, handcuff-
ed to Montcalm's sheriff 81 his way
to Jail at Stanton and then to Bad
Axe where he will stand trial.
Meyers has sister living at Bad
Axe, whose husband is railroad
man. They are highly respected res
idents of that community and the
Huron county sheriff would take their
word on any matter. The sister says
that Meyers was never in the Cana
dian army nor in any other army
for that matter and that he left his
wife and three children in Saginaw,
in July 1918, with the avowed inten-
ton of joining the Canadian army
He wore Canadian uniform when he
came here.
Meyers first got in touch with this
city when he wrote letter from the
Canadian army hospital, in London,
Ont, where he claimed to be conva-
lescing from wounds received in over
seas service, some time during the
fall or winter of 1917. We published
his letter and he received many letters
cigarettes, cigars candy, etc., from
readers of the paper who read his
letter and answered it. Later on he
came to this city wearing his uniform
showed his papers, and was invited
to talk from the bandstand to d
crowd of people here on Labor Gay.
Mayor 'Fales introduced him and he
gave a good talk. He passed as a
sergeant then, but after he had left
here for time and returned he came

short months we find him arrested
in Grand Rapids as major, so you
can take your choice of the titles, if
you don't like sergeant, take anything
up to and including major, evidently
he has lot of them up his sleeve to
spare and use yet.
Movers was arrested here once be-
fore. He was taken to Ionia after
giving himself up to Sheriff Mark
Hoppough when he heard the latter
was looking for him and stated that
as long as there was a mistake he
could and would gladly clear it up.
When they got him to Ionia and he
told them who he was and where he
came from, the Ionia officials wired
to the Canadian army officials and
were in formed that Meyers was just
what he claimed to be and he was
released. This would bear out the
contention on his part that he was
member of the Canadian army. On
the other hand is it alleged that his
sister, a reputable woman of Bad
Axe, claims that he never was in the
army, while on Meyers part he claims
that he has no sister. Meyers claims

he is twenty-nine years aid, married
has a wife and three children, whom
he deserted.
Speaking with Sheriff Ford, re-
porter for the Banner-News was told
that that official considered Meyers
to be a fake and that he also con-
sidered the Canadian people whom
Meyers had referred LEGAL people to,
as army officials, to be fakes also. Mr..
Ford stated that in all his experience
he had yet to meet a man whom he
considered as big a liar as this fell
low. He added that in case a jury
over in Huron county acquitted HON,
that the Montcalm officials would get
him and arrest him on the charge of
giving bill of sale for property
which did not belong to him.

THE IRRESPONSIBLE SPIRIT

THE IRRESPONSIBLE SPIRIT
There are always a lot of people
who refuse to take their part in the
measures necessary for the benefit of
the community. You can see exa
amples of it every day.
Fer instance, driver with heavi-
ly loaded truck pulled into Bedding
from somewhere the other day, stop
ped his machine, and proceeded to de-
liver his stuff. 1t took him something
over half an hour. All that time he
left his motor running. That motor
was needlessly wasting gasoline every
minute of his stay.
If the driver noticed il, he probably
argued that the gallon or two he
might be throwing away would be
worth but rs or so cents, and that
his employer would never feel or
know the difference. Perhaps he
was one of the men who complain
about the unsatisfactory wages they
earn. If so, one reason for the same
is the wasteful habit of so many work
ers who never consider the interest
of their employer, or the necessity of
cooperation in community measures
of economy.
And so it goes in all the policies
that ought to be adopted for public
benefit. A man may think that the
few cents worth Of gasoline he wastes
are not enough to amount to anything
But if everyone wastes in the same
spirit, the supply is depleted, the
price is advanced, and an added item
added to the costs of everyone who
does business. So it is in the waste
of paper stock, food and fuel supplies
and everything the community needs
but finds scarce and high.
Whatever one does, he should ask
himself the question, what would be
the effect on the community if every
one did the same? Not until he has
himself checked every item of waste
in his own work and living, can he
consistently complain at the scarcity
and high cost of the essentials OF
existence.
