This delightful and tuneful musical
comedy with Walter Wills and Roy
Binder in the leading roles is sched-
uled to appear at the Murray Jan Z.

this comedy has already spread
throughout the country, for it is con-

REORGANIZATION
URCEn BY GOVERNOR

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 2.-Early rat
| ification Of the federal prohibition
| amendment and enactment of a law
requiring that all courses in Michigan
| schools be conducted in English up to
the eighth grade, were urged upon
the legislature today by Governor AL
bert f. Sleeper, in his second inaugu-
raj address to that body.
The governor also urged that any
defects in the states present prohibit
ton laws be promptly remedied. Con-
corning the states educational system
he said:
Instead of encouraging the foreign
er who comes to our state to retain
his native language and traditions, we
should exert every influence to i'm
press upon him the high ideals of
!! American citizenship. No school child
in Michigan should receive his educa-
tional training in any foreign Ian
guage."
An amendment to the present state
primary laws, which would prevent
candidate from seeking nomination to
an Office on more than one ticket, also
was recommended by Governor Sleep
er.
no diSO
of budget law under which requests
for appropriations would be carefully
scrutinized and consolidated before be-
ing presented to the legislature; laws
to make uniform accounting compul-
sorry, and laws to place the states pur-
CHASING with a centralized body or
asency.
Construction of more improved
highways was recommended by the
governor, who termed such enterprises
lone of the best investments the state
can make"
In recommending continuance of the
recently created state police force,
which took the place of the National
Guard when the latter organization
was taken into the federal service,
Governor Sleeper paid a tribute to the
part Michigan boys have played in the
war. He concluded with an earnest
appeal to every citizen to help in OBJ
tanning suitable employment for re-
turr ed soldiers.
