WHAT JUDCEsBLACK WILL
DO TO MORROVvp

~ ~ MVkNESOW
The primary now is over E
Judge Blacks the winning man,
And forth has gone the, challenge,
Just match him if you can.
The Democrats are all buoyed up,
The Republicans are filed with
iIN sorrow, M Nl E'A ,
For what we did four years ago,
We're going to do to Morrow.
They say they're going; to win the
State, i 4
In spite of all creation;
But we are "from Missouri,
And seek information.
The Democrats are filed with
With them no thought of sorrow,
For what Beckham did to Belknap
Judge Black will do to Morrow
We have the thing all figured out
We've got them on the run;
The harmony" they talk about,
Has caused us lots of fun.
Our hearts are filled with gladness
While theirs are stepped in
sorrow,
What McCreary did to Ed O'Rear
Judge Black will do to Morrow
And now November is drawing
nigh,
The enemy we'll be routing,
And as was true four years ago,
The radicals will be pouting
For now the same old tales to tell
Their hearts are filled with sor
row,
For what Stanley did to Eddie
then.
Judge Black will do to Morrow.

AMERICAS GROWTH IN WEALTH

It is surprising that America able to take the fifth Liberty loan easily, that while the five Liberty loans have been oated savings bank deposits have been steadily rising
 This is very much richer nation than it in 1914 Despite all its expenditures for war; most of which made this country, it vastly richer than 1t ever has been before
 Alexander Dana Moves. financial editor of Scrihners and the New York Evening Post in articles in Sc1b- ner's makes this plain:
 The country is immensely richer in tangible and available wealth. than was in 1914 It is unquestiOnaby richer than in 1918 Our three billion annual sur plus of exports imports, nearly five times as great the largest before the is itself measure of this increment wealth Even if the government at Washing taking European promises to at future date for
 great deal of these exports it must be remembered that treasury in doing had paid Eurcpes bill in cash to American producers and exporters retaining the Euro" pean obligations for its own eventual rein buISementS.
 In 1914, when war broke America which had always owed Europe owed it vast say three three billion dollars.
 Today. the other hand. Europe owes the United State than ten billion dollars. That is measure of Americas gain in wealth. Anybody who fears the future in country situated America is situated is fearful to live The man who banks the certainty of good times ahead ahead accordingly is the who will be at the top of the heap "a year from now.

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS" GOVERNOR IS TOLD eY THE
 CORPORATION COMMISSION

PHOENIX, May 24.-Assuring Gov. Campbell that the state corporation commission feels able to take care Of itself and its duties" and informing the executive that his press agents arrived at erroneous conclusions" the corporation commission today replied to the governors letter enclosing complaints of licensed brokers against the operations of alleged "wiidcat- ters."
 The letter to the executive. which was signed by A. Stetzer. secretary ot the commission, said in part:
 "The commission desires me to state that they were surprised that this correspondence was given to the press and was published before it had r-ached them. Whether your purpose has beer served in is publication or whether you are actually desirou5 o. seeing that violatorS of cur laws aye brought to account. is matter we are unable to determine in the ligst of your procedure.
 Tt can be stated. however. ths, your press agents arrived at erroa- eous conc usions, in that the commits sion was in any manner influenced by your communication. since it had sak- en ac;ion regarding Texas trust cCm panies previous to the receipt of your communication
 The letter was quoting a telegram { from MT Williams" sent from Tue son. to the governor complaining of wildcat brokerage there. and saying that no action could be gotten frcm the commission. continues:
 There is nothing Of record in oIr office in support of Mir Williams state ment that the commission has beer asked for any ruling. The fact that these two telegrans originated in Tue son on May 10 and were received in Phoenix ct the same time and both calling up on the governor for he!p. leads the commission to suggest that help should be rendered them by the governor. since their inspiration must have resulted from a common source.
 We wish to assure you and all oth- CT residents of the state that the com mission is more than willing to CO., operate at all times in any matters within its jurisdiction when properly presented in good faith. We are forced to the conclusion that this par ticular instance was an effort on some. ones part to pose before the public at ' the expense of the commission.
 We wish to further assure you , that the commission feels able to take care of itself and it's duties"

UNEMPLOYMENT IN ARIZONA
 LESS THAN IN OTHER STATES

LESS THAN IN OVheH SVATeS
 PHOENIX. May 24.-There Is less unemployment in Arizona than in any i state in the union. and there is great CT demand for skilled labor in this state than for many months.
 The above information was given out today by a responsible official. who has made an exhaustive study of labor employment and living con ditions. not only in Arizona. but also throughout the country.
 Despite the fact that from 7.5O0 10 10000 men have been thrown out of employment in the state since the copper companies commenced cur tailing production following the sign ing of the armistice, there is still demand for skilled mine workers. lt further stated that this demand is slightly greater than the supply.
 The explanation given is that the men who left foreseeing a cut in the mine forces. or who were dis charged, all had been earning high wages throughout the war period and are now taking vacations either at i the coast or elsewhere beyond the boundaries of Arizona.
 The copper companies. it is said, which are estimated 10 represent from e5 to 70 per cent of the assessed val nation of the state. gradusYy are be coming readjusted to postwar condi ;ions. The pendalum of employment. which swung to the extreme minimum with the signing of the armistice, is stated to be slowly coming back and this. in part. is held responsible for the demand for skilled help Of com mon labor there is reported 10 be a supply equal to. if not greater than the demand.
 In the cotton fields Of the Salt Ri;- CT valley. where a crop conservatively estimated at s14O0O. 900. is said to have been raised last season. a grave labor shortage is declared to be in prospect when the demand reaches its peak next September For this condi. ten curious explanation is given. Heretofore Arizona cotton felis have drawn heavily on Texas for Ia bor. and have been fairly we'll supplied from that state. particularly when d drought cut down the demand there This year. however. Texas is said r be expecting to garner a bumper cot
 ;on crop and it is feared that the Lone
 Star state not only will use its owr
 hands, but reach into Arizona fol
 more.
 The statement has been made b, inen closely identified with the co;tor industry that, unless conditions chang. . rex, September will find the co.ta,
 fields facing a shortage of labar run ming from 5000 hands upwards. In every other branch of agricultur, |. the same thing is found and farIuer 7 daily are calling in vain on the gov
 ernment and other employment bu
 reaus for help.
 I Living costs throughout the stat . are asserted to be 75 per cent highe 2, than before the outbreak of hostilitie , in Europe. Figures taken from a SUI
 vey in July. 1918. show thet at tha
 time the necessities of life had jam;
 ed 61ia to 65 per cent above norma
 pre-war prices. Since July, 1918, the
 are said to have gone from 10 to 1a]
 per cent higher

IONA COUNTY
RED CROSS IS
TO TAKE $4,000
OF VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN
BONDS-GIVE $4,000 TO THE
AMERICAN RED CROSS.

The directors of the Ionia county
chapter of the Red Cross society
when they met in Ionia recently,
found that after paying all bills ana
other claims which had been incurred
by reason of purchases and the like,
they still had something better than
$29, 900 as a balance in the treasury.
The following is a report of the
meeting as given out by Secretary
Thane Benedict
lonia county has again gone over
the top in big way as was developed
at the meeting of the county commit
tee of the Red Cross yesterday, at
which were present Miss Washburn
OF Belding and Messrs. Chase of
Smyrna, Robertson of Orleans, Velte
of Lake Odessa, Alton of Portland,
Upton of Lyons, Lobdell of Muir,
King of Palo and Chapman, Hawley,
Heath, Green, Preston and Benedict
of Ionia.
The treasurer's report showed that
there was on hand over $4,000.
This was in excess of the amounts
expended and as the local rooms were
to be given up it was necessary to de-
eide as to the disposition of these
funds.
Instructions were read from the
American Red Cross showing that the
funds could be used in no other way
than for the American Red Cross ac-
t;vities for which the money was
pledged and raised so it was decided
to forward a credit of $4,000 to the
American Red Cross, purchase S1O,-
600 of Liberty bonds so the fund
would be drawing interest leaving the
balance in the local treasury. This
was done on motion of Mr.. Preston
and seemed to meet the approval CT
practically all as only one vote was
cast in the negative.
1t is again gratifying to know that
this county has given so literally for
the benefit of the soldiers and for the
use of the civilians in the devastated
districts.
General Fred Green was in favci
Of using the money sent out Of the
county to the national organization
to help returned soldiers of this coun

PLAN TO HAVE
BASE BALL TEAM
FOR 1878 SEASON
LOCAL FANS FEEL SOMETHING
OUGHT TO BE DONE TO EN-
COURAGE TEAM SUPPORT.

Local baseball fans are laying their
preliminary plans for getting a ball
team for this city for the coming sea-
son and if the proposition meets with
the favor which they think it should,
the city will be represented in the
great American game by one Of the
best smaller city teams in the state.
Belding in the past has had some
good ball teams and they have always
been able to make a good record
for themselves and for the city dur
ing the seasons when they were play
ing. For the past several years,
partly on account of indifference on
the part of the general public and
partly on account of the war and eth
er causes, the city has had no regular
team and it is hoped now that these
reasons have been set aside that a
good team can be secured and main
tained.
DR.. f. w. Little is one of the most
interested in the plan to again have a
ball team and he will have as his as
scciates and aides in the venture the
other fans in the city who have in
past years been managers of the local
ball team.

WAR RELICS TO
AID IN THE LARGE
VICTORY LOAN
SPECIAL TRAIN CARRYING REL
les AND WAR TROPHIES TO
TOUR THE STATE.

A special train carrying a load of
war relics and captured trophies will
be one of the big features which will
mark the big Victory loan drive
which the government will ask the
people of the nation to subscribe to
commencing Monday, April 21 when
the drive starts and continuing on
through the campaign. The train
will visit very nearly every city of
Importance in the state and of course
in its route will also stop at many
other smaller places along the line.
We are unable to state the exact date
which the train will be in this city,
nor are we able to state definitely
whether or not it will come here, but
it is to be presumed and hoped that
when the itinerary of the trip is COM
pleted, that this city will appear along
with the other places which the train
will visit.
The chief feature of the first exhi-
bition train to be sent out under the
direction of the Liberty Loan COM
mittee of the Seventh Federal Reserve
district which has the train in charge
and in connection with the Victory
loan, is a "whippet" tank. These
whippet or baby tanks are the first
small tanks which were made in the
United States and thousands of them
were in effective use against the Ger
raans and other thousands were in
process of construction when the
armistice was signed. They are
modelled after the French Renault
type of caterpillar baby tanks and
each is equipped with a 62 h. p. motor.
It's protective covering consists of
steel armor plate 5-8 of an inch thick.
In addition to carrying the tank
above referred to, the exhibition train
will carry anti-aircraft guns, seige
guns, the famous French 75's, trench
mortars. howitzers, grenades, torpe-
does. helmets. breastplates and other
trophies which were captured in bat
tie. A squad cf 20 returned soldiers
will be in charge Of the exhibition and
well known speakers will deliver
speeches on the Victory loan at every
stop which the train makes.
The train consists of three flat cars
of the trophies, baggage car and a
| Pullman sleeper and started out from
| Chicago on Monday morning, April =.
We hope to be able in our next issue
to inform our readers as to the actual
probability and time of this train ar
irving in this city.

More towns die for want OF conn-
dence on the part of business men and
lack of public spirit than any other
cause. When a man in search of a
home or a business location goes. into
a town and finds everything brim
full of hope and enthusiasm Of the
prospects of the place and all earn
estly at work to build it up, he soon
becomes imbued with the same spirit,
and as a result he drives down stakes
and goes to work with the same in
terest. When, however, he goes to
town where everyone expresses
doubt and apprehension for the future
prosperity of the place, moping about
and indulging in mournful complaints
he naturally feels that it is no place
for him, and he at once shakes the
dust off his feet while he pulls out
with all possible speed for some other
place. Consequently try and make
live, enterprising town out of the
town in which you live. When you
are working for or saying a good
thing for your town you are accom-
plishing all the more for yourself.
