GALE BLOWS 76
MILES AN HOUR
Worst Storm In Years Visits This
Section on Saturday Evening
Last, Doing Much Damage

The fiercest wind storm in many
years occurred Saturday evening
at about six o'clock and continued
nearly all night. 1t was repiti-
tion of the storm of Nov. 8, 1918,
when so many boats on the great
klakes went to the bottom, carry
ing their crews of human lives
with them. Keen anxiety was
felt for shipping hit by the storm
particularly Lake Huron but up
to the present no accidents of
note have been reported. Many
of the steamers that cleared
from the 500 on Saturday, were in
shelter at Detour all day Sunday.
In Port Huron, st. Clair and
Detroit the newspapers report that
the wind attained a velocity of 76
miles an hour, setting new re-
cord for local weather bureaus.
These cities were hit hard by the
storm.
Interurban service between
Port Huron and Detroit was COM
pletely cut off from Saturday
night until Tuesday as a result of
poles and wires being down at
various points along the line.
In Will Campbells neighbor-
hood trees were blown across the
roadway, blocking traffic, build
ings damaged, etc. Andy Wark
phones from Speaker that a straw
stack on Jim Coles place blew
over onto bunch of cattle and il
was necessary to dig them out
Other straw stacks were scattered
to the winds, trees uprooted and
damage done to many buildings

HOWLING OF WOLF FORMS
SUPERSTITION OF
THE NORTHWEST
Incidents in Vitagraph's New Su-
perfilm Recall Other Beliefs
In Ill Omens

The trait of superstition, COM
monty attributed to simple folk,
but which, in fact, is to be found
in all minds, receives dramatic
treatment in Vitagraph's new SUI
perfilm, "The Wolf" This pic
ture, with Earle Williams as star
will appear at the Princess Thea
tire on Tuesday and Wednesday,
Dec. 8 and 10.
1t is the omen of the wolf howl
that expresses the human trait
in THE Wolf" Spectators at
this picture will recognize the
omen as a familiar one, as old as
the human race.
1t comes to light first when
Jules Beaubien, the French Cana
dian trapper, while trudging thru
the trackless forest to the town
where he has been told he has a
sister he has never seen, hears the
bowling of a wolf. In the next
moment his foot stumbled upon an
object in the snow.
The object proves to be the
form of a dead girl with an infant
on her breast. This girl was
Jules sister.
Thus the bowling of the wolf is
demonstrated as an omen of death
The recognition of such a sign is
common in the Canadian north
woods. The simple folk of that
region will tell one that the sign
never fails.
1t occurs again in "The Wolf,
when Hilda MacTavish, the perse
cuted, frightened little creature
whose charm has inspired a man
to seek her ruin, hears the wolf
| howl.
She accepts the warning.
Spectators will recall that in
then own present day life they
have seen the same omen in q
different form widely recognized
The grandmothers of rural dis.
tricts set great store by the for
boding conveyed in the bowling
of dog at night. They declare
it is an unfailing death sign if &
dog sets up mournful wall in
| the dark hours.

HAVING A PECK OF TROUBLE

John B. McIlwain, a prominent
attorney, of Port Huron, who was
recently defeated in the race for
Mayor of Port Huron, by French,
is having all kinds of trouble.
For three consecutive nights last
week Mr.. McIlwain was the vic
tim of some outrage. On Wednes-
day night someone hurled a quart
bottle through the front window
of his residence. Thursday night
he received a black-hand letter
threatening the lives of his en-
tire family unless he put $4,000
in tin can on his front step by
Dec. 5th. Friday night he was
stopped by men who evidently
would have relieved him of any
valuables had he shown signs of
fear. Police are of the opinion
that the last escapade has some
connection with the two previous
affairs.
Mr.. Mcllwain says There
will be something doing if a SIM
liar attempt is made. | will be
armed and will not hesitate to
protect myself"

METHODIST MINISTER'S
TO GET SALARY BOOST

An average increase of 40 per
cent in the salaries of Methodist
ministers throughout the country
to meet the mounting cost of liv-
ing and establishment of mini
mum salaries" were announced
recently by the centenary conser-
vative committee of the Methodist
Episcopal church. The new scale
of pay will be in effect generally
by January l, it was stated.
The fund raised for the world
program of centenary conserva-
tion committee will provide the
money for the salary increase.
Those ministers whose pay has
been raised by their congregation
to a sufficient amount will receive
no added remuneration from the
church organization, the bulk of
the increase being for those
whose salaries have remained un-
changed at low figures.

Map of 1845 Is Suggestive of Few
Names of Cities and Townships
That Existed at That Time

In map of st. Clair Co. pub
lished in 1845 Lakeport appears as
Milwaukee, st. Clair as Palmer,
Marine City as Newport, and
Courtright as Sutherlands. The
main channel of st. Clair river
below Algonac and east of Har-
sens Island is down as Squirrel
Channel, Fawn Island as Grass
Island, Stag Island as Isle au

Fort Gratiot, Port Huron and AL

though Fort Gratiot is now disap-
pearing in favor of Port Huron.
The townships of Lynn, Brockway,
Greenwood, Grant and Burtch-
vile are all united as Burtchvi4le !;
Mussey, Emmett, Kenockee, Clyde
and Fort Gratiot as Clyde; Kim
ball and Port Huron as Port HUI
ron, and Casco, China and East
China as China, while Berlin, Ril-

their present boundaries, but the
name of the last appears as Sim

Boost your city, boost your friend,
Boost the lodge that you attend;
Boost the street on which you're

Boost the goods that you are sell

But success will quicker find them,
If they know that you're behind

IS NOW MANAGER
OF SUN DRUG CO.
Story of a Yale Boy Who Went to-
the Golden West in 1900
and Has Made Good

The following article is taken
from the "Sun DIAL" the official
organ of the Sun Drug Co., whose
Headquarters are in Los Angeles:
1t is no idle figure of speech to
saw that our General Manager
and Secretary H. A. McKenna was
born a druggist. From the day
of his birth in Yale, Michigan, on
April 8, 1877 he "sat at the feet OF
Observation-Disclosures in that mod
ern day was his father, proml-
nent druggist who some years
later turned his store In Yale
over to young McKenna and
mariner. This venture was sold
out six months later and the next
few wears found Mr.. McKenna
operating successful drug stores
in Honor, Avoca and Alpena-
three rough and ready towns in
Michigan, where he gained much
experience, together with a firm
conviction that being a druggist
was no snap or sinecure. Yet In
stead of turning to some other
pursuit, as many members OF the
profession did in those days, he
decided to stick to the career his
father chose for him and to do his
part to improve conditions in the
business which at that time were
notorious.
Conforming with the well known
fact that all good people come to
Los Angeles, Mr.. McKenna began
his career in this city in 1900, do
ing general utility work with Sale
& Son, who conducted drug store
at 220 South Spring street. His
working hours were not restricted
by law. Shifts" were unknown
and lunch hours were usually min
us. From z a. m. to IL p. m. or
even later found the druggists of
the 80's on the job. Seventy-five
dollars a month was the usual sal
ary for the clerk who worked at
least 16 hours a day-365 days in
the year.
Reminiscent of those days Mr..
McKenna tells story of one of his
fellow employees who struck up a
filtration with his own wife. His
hours kept him from home so
much that she had become a
stranger to him.
In entering the employ of Wolf
& Chilson a few months later, Mr..
McKenna began an association
which has lasted to this very day.
This store was one of the original
establishments which formed the
Sun Drug Company chain at it's
inception in 1901. His first as
signment with the Company was
manager of Store Number Five at
Temple and Belmont, later he was
promoted to take charge of Store
Number Four, Sixth and Broadway
at the munificent salary of $500
per month In July, 1913, he NOV
ed up block to Fifth and Broad
way, from where in June, 1916, he
went to the wholesale department
as Superintendent, reaching the
General Managership on June Is,
1917.
Volumes could be written re-
garding Mr.. McKenna's achieve
ments, but that is little compared
to the good opinion his fellow
workers have of him. There isn't
a man or woman in the organiza-
tion who won't enthusiastically
admit that he is the right man for
his big job !
