WHITE ROBIN HAS RED
SPOT ON IT'S BREAST

Poughkepesie, N. Y.-Cars running
to Vassar college are stopping on the
road to allow the passengers to see u
white robin which makes its home near
the college grounds.
For a long time residents of tins
city have wondered what kind OF a
bird it was that hoped about for its
morning worm, and now an ornitholo-
gist has announced it is a robin.
He reached this conclusion after
watching the bird, its habits and food,
and discovered that the bird had a
small spot of red on its breast. The
robin is a female, and is mated with
an ordinary robin and has young
which are not different from other
young birds of the same species. Like
the mythical white blackbird the or
11ithologist says that birds like this,
freak of nature, occur sometimes in
all kinds of animals and may be class
ed as albinos.

SALE OF BEER MUST
STOP; U. S. ORDER
Attorney General Promises Prosecu-
ton; Congress Rushes Dry Act.

Washington, July congress and
the Department Of Justice moved to-
day to stop the sale of 2a per cent

act.
Prohibition leaders of the House
after a series of conferences obtained
= call for a meeting Monday of the
judiciary committee, which is expect
ed to agree promptly on an independ-
mt bill for enforcement of the war
time law, defining Intoxicating liQdor
as containing more than one-half Of
l per cent alcohol, and to recommend
passage of such bill by the House at
the earliest possible moment.
At the same time the Department of

hol cannot be legally manufactured
Or sold.

USE THE LIBRARY
THIS SUMMER

Not a village or country community
in the state should be without books
this summer. The boys and girls out
of school and the young people home
for their vacations need books for their
leisure hours. For grown ups too no
better recreation offers itself during
the hot days when one wants to sit
still and be cool than reading interest
ing books.
Books on travel will take one, in
imagination at least, to regions of
summer all the year round. Others
will take one to regions of perpetual
snow. Books on biography will help
one to understand how others have
lived and achieved. Books on modern
social questions will help to make clea :
the problems of our country and will
make better citizens. Books of fiction
will help broaden ones own social ex-
perience and bring light, humor and
joy.
Choose books along your own line
If interest. Read few at least. Or,
better still, read books along a new
line. Broaden your interests. Make
the time spent in your reading worth
while.

Until further notice the saloons in
Grand Rapids will not be closed only
IN so far as the sale of whiskies, cock
tails, brandy, gin, ETC., are concerned.
They are still permitted to sell beer,
light wines, and temperate drinks are
concerned. The sixteen saloons in
Grand Rapids have been granted Ii
censes conditionally and under said
licenses will sell beer, wine, and tenn
perate beverages, with lunches, etc. At
present just what action the Federal
Government is going to assume is not
known However, the city authorities
are not going to prevent the sale OF
beer and wine that comes under the
|2.75 per cent alcohol limit, fixed by
the Government in wet states.
The saloons in Grand Rapids have
decided to continue in business until
such time as the Government, State
and local authorities decide on the con-
stitutional provisions. They all ex-
pect that during the next six months
the entire country will be dry and they
will have to divert their attention to
other lines. This interval of time will
give them an opportunity to decide
what they will want to do.

NATIONAL
budget SYSTEM
National Budget Committee Opens
Campaign for Adoption by
Congress.

New York City, June 29-John T.
Pratt, chairman of the National Bud
get Committee, today announced the
opening of a campaign to secure the
adoption of national budgetary sys-
tenn by Congress.
Mr.. Pratt's announcement followed
the introduction in Congress of three
budget bills-one in the House and
two in the Senate by Representative
James w. Good of Iowa, chairman of
the Appropriation Committee, and by
Senator Medill Mccormick of Illinois
Two of these measures provide for
Bureau of the Budget, which will
assume responsibility for all estimates
of each of the ten governmental de-
partments. The Good bill, and third
bill introduced by Senator Mccormick
provide for an accounting department,
which will furnish Congress with a
careful audit of national expenditures.
The National Budget Committee
will endeavor through state organiza-
tions to impress upon citizens the need
for economy in all appropriation meas
ures.
Associated with Mr.. Pratt in this
organization are Benjamin Strong
governor of the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York; Paul M Warburg; Jo-
seph H Cotton, and Henry L. Stimson.
Nine state chairmen have been ap-
pointed and working organizations
have been perfected in California,
Georgia, Delaware, Illinois, Louisiana
South Carolina, New Jersey, Vermont
and Missouri.
Committee members believe that,
with certain amendments, the meas
ures now before Congress will insure
an annual saving to the government
in excess of S50O,00O, 900. This is 5000
100000 more than the late U. s. Al
drich of Rhode Island once stated that
he could save the Nation, if allowed
to run it con business basis"

STRIKE IS =
STILLUNSET7LED

Every move made since the strike
was declared by the workmen in the
Nekoosa-Edwards Paper Co.'S. mill,
on the part of the Company as we'll as
the laboring men, convinces the inter-
ested observer, that the plants owned
by the Company at Nekoosa, Port Ed
wards and the South Side will be shut
down for months. The Company has
paid all labor, merchandise bills, and
cleaned up everything in full to July
1st. The only laboring men they now
have is few non-union men looking
after the machinery necessary to o.
perate the pumps and electric motors
necessary to supply lights, power and
water to the people who reside at the
three places. All we can do now is to
await the outcome In the mean time
the men can do odd jobs at home and
other places at non-union rates and
regulations. Some men are wise and
don't know it, while others are un-
wise and don't know it. Time will tell
which was the wiser and which was the
most foolish.

BUSINESS grows
FR()MS3,OOO
TOS75,OOO

The Creasey Corporation of Grand
Rapids, which was organized in Octo-
Der 1918, in this city, has been max
mg rapid progress and is proving
much more so, than the most sanguine
stockholder anticipated. During the
month of October the volume of bust
ness amounted to only $4,000. Since
then, every month has more than
doubled the volume of business until
the month of May 1919 reached the
large sum of $4,000. This rapid
growth of trade in eight months time
is forcing the Company to enlarge its
quarters to double its present capacity.
The present building is going to be
raised another story and its present
capital of s10O,O00.OO increased
to better handle the constantly
increasing trade. The present
officers and directors are great
ly interested in the Company's devel-
opment and usefulness to their large
CLIENTELE.
S. Sylvester, the general manager,
was born in Stoughton, Wis, where
he was educated and prepared for his
mercantile career. He was married
at Blue Mounds, Wis, October 81,
1903, to Miss Anna Dokken, where he
secured his first business experience.
From Blue Mounds they moved to
Mount Horeb, where he carried on a
successful mercantile business for
Is years. He came to Grand Rapids
in September 1918, where he assumed
the general management of the Creas-
ey Corporation Immediately after it's
He was member of the
Chicago branch of the Creasey Cor
poration of which there are twenty
three in the United States. Mr.. Svl-
Vester's familiarity with this plan of
wholesale operation was the reason
for his selection to this responsible
position. The management made no
as the increasing trade de-
veloped indicates. Ten people are now
employed to look after and care for
the business. The stockholders are all
greatly pleased with results and the
people of Grand Rapids are highly
pleased with the location of this ra-
pidly growing wholesale corporation.

CLEANSE MILK
ANDICE CREAM
CONTAINERS

Madison, Wis, June 30-Governor
Philip this week affixed his signature
to law which will produce something
of a sensation among ice cream con-
known. The law is very short one
but it covers wide ground, for it di-
rectly affects the housewife who pur-
chases pint Of milk in a bottle and
reaches drastically to the retailers Of
ice cream who purchase the cream
from manufacturers. The law was
enacted or amended chiefly TO reach
ice craem users who fail to thoroly
cleanse containers in which they re-
ceive the cream, or who fail to return
the containers within 72 hours.
The law will be enforced by the state
dairy and food department and Com
missioner Weigle announces that it
will be strictly enforced. Mr. Weigle
says that beside the loss annually of
ice cream and milk containers, which
reaches many thousands of dollars
from the destruction by acids of the
containers, that are allowed to stand
empty without cleansing, the filthy
practice endangers the health and life
of people who use milk or ice cream.
The chief offenders against whom
the law is aimed are the big retailers
of ice cream, but reading of the text
of the law which follows will make
clear that the family that purchases
a quart of ice cream for Sunday din
ner, or that buys milk in bottles, may
find itself prosecuted for failure to
return thoroughly clean the container,
and then the other frequent offenders
against the law which will find them
selves promptly prosecuted If they
continue to offend are the small gro
Gerry, drug and confectionery stores
that sell ice cream. Particularly in
small cities and villages are these
stores careless. Anyone who has
stood on a railway station platform
when empty ice cream containers are
being handled and caught the vile o.
doris from the filthy cans, can realize
to what extent this class of retailers
offend against decency and the law.
Here is the full text of the new law
which is Chapter 338 of the laws of
1919:
"Any person., firm or corporation,
who receives in cans, bottles, or other
vessels any milk, or cream, or other
dairy product = = to be manufact-
ured into food for man, or for the pur-
pose of resale when such cans,
bottles, or vessels are to be returned,
shall cause the said cans, bottles, or
other vessels to be thoroughly wash
ed and cleansed, x and shall re-
turn or cause the same to be deliver
ed to a common carrier for shipment
to the owner thereof, within seventy
two hours after the contents of such
= Al
