HAD GREAT TIME
ON MOTOR TRIP

Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Sparks re-
Gently returned from a motor trip
up through northern Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota and back by way
of Chicago. On their first day they
drove through Petoskey, where Fred
Snyder, brother of Mrs. Sparks, who
had been visiting with them here left
them and joined his wife. who was
there for the summer as a hay fever
patient. After remaining in Petoskey
for several days they went over to
Mackinaw Island, where no automo-
biles are allowed for trip around
the island.
They said that they were met at
the dock by carriage drawn by hor-
ses and that they paid 400 for a
drive over the beautiful island which
covered nine miles and considered il
money well spent. No automobiles
were allowed and all vehicles which
they saw were horse drawn and the
three hours hich they spent in the
swell drive were thoroughly enjoyed
more so than if they had passed
thousands of the best automobiles in
the world.
From there they went to st. Ig-
mace and then motored to Sault Ste.
Marie, where they saw the big locks
and also witnessed the letting down
and raising of the big lake steamers
as they went through the locks. Their
next stop was at Newberry and ow-
ing to some special event being held
there they were unable to get rooms
to stay for the night. They were
from one place to another
in a ff-uitless search for a place to
spend the night when Clarence men,

ed and very interesting. From the
opening of the pageant by the bugle
call, and prolocutor, followed by the
kindergarteners to the closing by the

Sparks were there. Archie had just

From Daggart they drove to Iron
Mountain, Iron River Ashland, .Su-
perior, Duluth and eventually wound
up their trip at Duluth. Minnesota,
where they were to visit at the home
Of his brother, Bert. The drive from
Duluth to Virginia was through the
forest all the way and was for u
miles, with practically no breaks in
the timber at all.
They put in four days visiting at
Virginia, saw the largest saw mill
in the world, went down into the
bowels of old mother earth in the
Union ore mines and had a general
good time sight seeing after which
they started back home, touching at
st. Paul, Minneapolis, Milwaukee,
Chicago, Grand Rapids and home,
with Belding looking better to them
than ever before after the great trip
of little more than $500 miles. An
exceptional part of the trip which
added to the pleasure which it af-
forded was that they had absolutely
no motor or tire trouble of any nature
the nearest thing to trouble being
the necessity of having to replace
a fan belt on the motor.

FILM EQUALS TRIP INTO ANT
 ARCTIC
The Bottom of the World Shaekle toms Picture, as Good as Going
 On the Expedition

One has opportunity at the Victory Theatre to take one of the most won derful Antarctic trips ever made in history, without moving out of his chair. This may be taken as q meas ure of the vividness and realms of 'The Bottom of the World" the Sir Ernest Shackelton South Polar expe- dition pictures. shown on Wednesday and Thursday.
 The Bottom of the Worldn is a remarkable succession of thrills, hu- nor, pathos, and scientific interest. It tells the two-years' story of Sir Err nests trip one of the most moment ous ever started into the lands of ice, either in the north or south Start ing from Buenos Ayres in October which in the southern hemisphere is spring. the Shackleton expedition went to South Georgia, whence it started for the region of the South Pole.
 It went to a point within three de- grees of the pole during the warm period. There the Endurance, Sir Ernestis ship. was stuck in the ice. Great floss driven by winds and air current crushed the vessel, and fl had to be left behind Drawn by their faithful dogs. ef which hundreds were taken along. Sir Ernesfs men made their way back as best they could 10 a point where their camp was broken off the main ice and they went H1offuU for ion mont bg
 Finally they managed to get back 10 the mainland in the small life boats which they had brought along with them from the wreck of the Endur- ance. This all is shown in detail in .The Bottom of the World" which is wonderful document of human and scientific interest.
 There are five reels of the picture well photographed and carefully cut. Unlike many polar pictures little space is lost on mere waste landscapes. The human element is stressed, and mans fight to conquer the lands of ice and snow never was brought back to the "home folks" with greater force than in this film.-Adv.

tice, was consulted as to the method TO
be pursued in recognizing the courts.
Leonard Wood was in Cuba about
four years. He left there a reorgan-
lied and sound banking system. a
good railroad system. no debts, nearly
S2,00O,OO0 unincumbered money In the
treasury, a sugar crop of nearly 1,O00,-
600 tons, sound municipal laws, fine
public works, a firm agricultural
foundation and an absolute respect
among the people for life and prop
erty. The school system which Wood
established was founded on the laws
of Massachusetts and Ohio. Roads
were built-which made communication
speedy. The hospitals erected under his
supervision We're of the highest type.
Lord CrOmer said he wished this
American officer was available to fol-
low him in his reconstruction work
in Egypt. Elihu Root said this work
never was paralleled in colonial pos
sessions anywhere. Theodore Roose-
welt said that Leonard Wood "has
rendered services to Cuba of kind
years ago, would have made him
hero mixed up with the sun god in va
rious ways"
After the Cuban experience Wood
was for five years in the Philippines
confronted with the difficult labor of
establishing civil government, this
time among Mohammedan people.
There he did the same successful
work he did in Cuba.
This period of residence in the Phil
ippines gave Wood an opportunity to
study conditions in the British colo
MES, Borneo, Singapore, and to keep
in close touch with conditions in
Japan and along the China coast
Wood Travelled through India. spent
some time with the Dutch in Java, and
with Lord Cromer in Egypt. He
gained and retained knowledge Of all
which at that time came under his stu
dious observation.
Then Leonard Wood became chief
Of the general staff of the United
States army, in whose hands rests
very largely the direction and admin
istration Of the military establishment,
which after all is 80 per cent bust
ness matter.
The administrative career of Leon
ard Wood is spread upon the records
of his country. The work which he
has done is lasting. 1t is a states

WOOD HAS VARIED
CIVIL EXPERIENCE
ADMINISTRATIVE QUALITIES ARE
TESTED AND PROVED IN HAM
pLlNo GREAT BUSINESS
PROBLEMS.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

From time to time people ask,
~What has been the administrative
and business experience o. Leonard
Wood2 What has been his experience
with men outside Of the army? What
does he know about conditions in the
different parts of the United States
and in our overseas possessions? Has
he any thorough knowledge of foreign
affairs and of our foreign relations 2"
The administrative qualities Of
Leonard Wood. have been tested and
proved. No American living has been
tried more thoroughly than he in COM
plex fields of constructive civil work,
administrative work of the highest
order which carried with it the peces-
sity for the exercise of keen business
acumen.
The republic Of Cuba, built upon
firm democratic foundations, is a mon
ument to the administrative ability of
Leonard Wood. In the Philippines is
to be found another monument to his
craftsmanship.
Leonard Wood graduated in medi-
cine from Harvard University in 1884
and served for more than year in
one of the great hospitals, later to
take charge of the charity depart
ments in a section of the city Of Bos-
ton where the poor lived.
Not long after the completion of
Woods work in Boston he became an
assistant surgeon in the army, coming
into contact with the western plains
man, the miner, the people generally,
and giving much Of his time to the
work of assisting the Indians and to
a study of the problems of irrigation
and reclamation.
Then for Leonard Wood there came
four years in California. He covered
the state many times in pursuance of
The Holly chieftain., 1920-01-22

his duties and extended his field as
occasion required into the states of
the Northwest Then for two years he
was in service in the South, having
headquarters in Georgia.
From the South Leonard Wood went
to the city of Washington, where his
work brought him into daily contact
with Grover Cleveland. Then he had
the same intimate relations with Will
liam Mckinley and the men. of his
time.
Then came the Spanish war and the
active campaign in Cuba as the col
onel of the regiment Of rough riders
of which Theodore Roosevelt was the
lieutenant colonel.
At the close of the Spanish war
Leonard Woods supreme administra-
tive duties began. He was made the
governor of the city of Santiago and
few weeks later Of the entire east
ern half of Cuba.
Under Wood profiteering was abol.
ished, industry was built up, agricul-
ture rehabilitated, hospitals organ.
lied, equipped and maintained, tens
Of thousands CT people clothed and
fed-and all this done in thorough
businesslike manner. It wa& done un-
der tribulations which arose from
the fact that the people were i'm
poverished to the point Of starva-
ton and had been dying by thousands
for the lack of the things which Wood
quickly provided.
Then there came the rehabilitation
of the municipalities, the establish.
ment of schools, the opening Of roads,
the organizing Of government in the
provinces, the readjustment Of taxa
ton and Of the courts, and the work
Of providing for the thousands of chill
dren made orphans by war or famine.
There was more business and more
varieties Of it than it has been the lot
of many men ever to have placed up
on their shoulders.
Not long after this there came the
greater opportunities in Havana. It
was necessary to re-write the election
laws to make them fit the habits Of the
people. Production had to be stimu
lated, for agriculture was the main
source of the islands wealth. Here
again the same measures were follow
ed and as a result there were estab.
lished law and order, protection Of
life and property, and liberty with
in the law.
These were the foundation stones.
Wood knew that the government must
be run by the Cubans, and so 80 per
cent of the officials engaged In the
great work of reconstruction were
selected from the people of the island.
The Cubans were taught government
while the government was being built
and thus they were able to run 1t when
the rule of the island was turned over
to its inhabitants.
When it became necessary to reor-
ganize the Cuban railroads Wood Sc
cured the services of Sir William Van
Horne president of the Canadian Pa
cific, and of Granville NJ. Dodge, build
err Of the Union Pacific.
The same general policy was fol-
lowed in dealing with the problem of
caring for the tens Of thousands of
orphans that had been left by the war.
Homer Folks, commissioner of chari-
ties Of the state Of New York, was
called to Cuba by Wood to aid in the
establishment of system for placing
and permanently caring for these lit
tie desolates. Chief Justice White
