ways through that Office was different
from other county Offices and when
man had learned the business and
was giving satisfaction, it was good
business to keep him in; that lot of
campaign cries were mere bunk be-
cause some one else wanted to get
in; that he was against sucn exper-
iments and would surely vote for his
new friend; that he had three sons
and two daughters; that all but one
were married and so the candidate
pursuaded him to talk with each and
their husbands and wives and get
their votes.
At the turn of the road the candi-
date jumped off and went on his way.
He stopped down the road for a
drink of water and was surprised to
find a number of ladies gathered,
as their society was to meet that af-
ternoon. One of the ladies said she
had been intending to come to town
to ask some probate questions and she
could now save the trip. The candi-

ESCAPED CRIMINALS
REPORTED IN VICINITY

Several rumors have been brought
into the city of late to the effect that
either two or three of the eight men
who escaped from the state hospital
for the criminal insane have been
lurking around in this vicinity for
nearly week. On Monday night
Harold Cooper and some compan-
ions were sitting in an automobile
ea ting water melons, south Of the
city short distance and at about
80 o'clock two or three men NOV
ed cautiously up to the auto and the
young people made hasty retreat
into town and officers to whom they
told their story, say that the kids
were really afraid with the word
meaning all that it could if spelled
IN great big capital letters. They
were so scared that an officer who
stepped out to stop their evidently
peed-law-violating race into town
looked mighty good to them and they
told him that they didn't care for
speed laws or any other danger, just
so that those men out there in the
great big thick blackness on the riv-
err road. just south of Aubill's home
didn't get them. Marshal Meginley
and Special Officer Cook armed them.
Selves and went out there but Of
course, were unable to find any one.
Reports also have it that the fell
lows were seen to leave one of the
nearby slaughter houses early Tues
day morning, acting as if they had
spent the night sleeping there. No
posses have been formed to scour the
country for them but Sheriff Mark
Hopough. of Ionia. who was in the
city on business Tuesday morning
said that they were receiving great
many clues every day and were doing
everything possible to capture the
fugitives and place them back where
they escaped from. He says that
they are very dangerous men and-that
no person should take great deal
of chances with them in any way.

date was able to give her the infor-
nation wanted and in return was in
troduced to the others present. As
the meeting had not yet started the
candidate suggested that if there
were no objections, he would like to
make a few remarks about the Ju-
venile work he was doing. SO after
some laughter they insisted that he
do so.
The next twenty minutes were
taken up With an outline of the Ju.
venile work in Ionia county, work
in which women are especially inter-
ested. Most Of them had read of
Judge Ben Lindsey's juvenile work
and this is the same kind of work
with juveniles on a smaller scale.
The candidate related incidents Of
cases of dependent, neglected and de-
linquent children with whom he had
dealt, told Of how the law was passed
of an amendment he had prepared
sometime ago and of how an amend
ment to that effect had recently been
passed, of how boys and girls are
brought to the juvenile court when
they had just reached the turning
of the ways and of how the impor-
lance of this work in helping to in
fluence young lives canot be over
estimated. of how the candidate has
two boys Of his own and knows what
it means to parents to have every
influence possible brought to bear
upon them at the right time. Prompt
ly at the hour limited the candidate
stopped, gave each of the ladies a
campaign card, shook hands all
around and went on his way.
A friend working in a nearby field
sang out "Do you belong to Coxie's
army?n "No' said the candidate
"We're for Harding"
The candidate reaehed the station
just in time to catch the train and
arriving home, soon had boy on each
knee and amid their .prattle soon for
got the troublesome and amusing in
cidents of campaigning.

"The Worlds most beautiful love

play, "The Confession. which has
been made into a marvellous motion
picture by the National Film Cor
poration. featuring Henry Walthal.
1t was directed by Bertham Bracken
and cost one hundred and ninety-five
thousand dollars to make. The story
of the picture is one calculated to
hold its auditors spell bound from be-
ginning to end, encompassing as it
does the gamut of every human emo
ton, the love of sweetheart for
sweetheart, brother for brother, and
last, but not least, the love of moth
er for her son. 'The Confession" as
a stage play had wonderful career
and in its new form is much better,
from the fact that it is not limited
to the few stage scenes possible in
theatre.
