TWO INJURED
IN GLORIOUS
4TH EXPLOSION
HOME MADE GIANT CRACKER
GETS ONE WHILE A SMALL
CRACKER CAUSES OTHER

Two local boys, Harry Fox and
Dick Hack were seriously injured
on Sunday when fire crackers which
they were setting off in celebration
of the national holiday, worked con-
trary to expectations and came very
near working still greater damages
to the youthful celebrators.
Richard Hack, son of Tom Hack,
of Saginaw, who makes his home
with his grand parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. Camp, of Crooks avenue, was the
first one to be reported as injured.
He had been injured with an explo-
sion of some kind and the hair on his
forehead, eyebrows and eyelashes
completely burned away. Almost mir
aculously, it seems, his eyesight was
not injured. DIR. j. F. Pinkham was
hurriedly called and had just return
ed from treating the Hack lad when
Lee Luscombe drove up with the in
jured Fox box in his machine.
The Fox boy lives with his moth
er and step-father Mr.. and Mrs. Art

made big cracker of his own. He
had lighted il and il had explede.

Harry says he was standing about

MERCHANTS PICNIC
COMMITTEE BUSY ARRANGING
FOR BIG GET-TOGETHER-
ND-RUB-ELBOWS MEET

Plans are about complete for the
big time which the farmers and mer-
chants of the city are going to have
at Heth's pavilion, Long lake, on
Thursday afternoon, July Is and
from present indications it seems
that there will be a record breaking
attendance there, practically every
body having been able to arrange
their work in some way, so as to be
able to take half day off and rub
elbows with their neighbors, the bus
mess and other people of this city.
While no definite program is as yet
obtainable it is known that tugs-of-
war, races, water sports, boating
fishing, a ball game and many other
diversions will be scheduled to make
the day an enjoyable and memorable
one and we are just simply giving
you tip to the effect that you will be
missing mighty good time, Mr..
Farmer if you don't take your wife
and kidlets and yourself and be over
at Long lake with the rest of the
white folks on Thursday, July Is.
Long, drawn out, sleepy talks and
speeches have been strictly tabooed
by the committee but Mr.. w. w.
Marple, of Chicago, df the depart
ment Of industrial relations of the
Beatrice Creamery Co., one of the
most prominent dairymen in the
world is going to give short talk
which will be worth a whole lot to
every man who owns herd of cattle
cow of who ever thought of owning
one. For nearly score of years he
acted as POSTMASTER at various ma
tional dairymen's convention and is
reputed as being man really worth
hearing. His talk will in no way be
an advertisement for the Beatrice
Creamery Co., however and while his
talk will be mainly hooked up with
dairying interests. he will also give
some good points on general farm
topics.
An aeroplane has been secured ia
come over for the occasion and un-
doubtedly anyone who is desirous OF
taking a trip up in the clouds, car

GUbERNATOR|AL
CANDIDATE IS
TO SPEAK HERE
TO GIVE ADDRESS ON POLITI-
CAL ISSUES OF TODAY AS
SEEN BY CHRISTIANS

Hon. Luren ID. Dickinson, Lieuten-
ant Governor of Michigan and Repub-
lican candidate for Governor is to
speak Sunday evening July 18 in the
Methodist church at Belding. His
subject will be Political Issues of
the Day From the Christian Stand
point"
Mr.. Dickinson is known in every
household of Michigan because he
accomplishes things that are for the
betterment of the state. In his
twenty years of official life there is
not spot on his character, not
charge of dishonesty, insincerity, in
sinsistency, or inability-a wonder
full record. He never toots his own
horn. He is modest, unassuming, but
once convinced he is right and be-
lieving right will prevail, he fights
for the cause till he wins.
Mr.. Dickinson believed the people
should nominate their officials and
against great odds he wrote and
pushed the primary law through. He
is now known as ''The Father Of
Michigan's Primary Law"
He believed the saloons the great
est menace to the state. He took up
the fight against them. 1t was un-
popular. He was laughed at, jeered
at, scoffed at, threatened. The sa-
loon forces lining up solidly against
him, once defeated his nomination
for lieutenant governor, but such
things did not lessen his activities
in the fight. In the midst of adverse
conditions he was heard to say, "We'-
II win, God is with US" and with this
faith as an official and citizen, he
led the dry forces until the saloon
was driven from the state.
He believed political conditions and
civic conditions would be improved
by giving the ballot to women and
for years helped fight their battles
until the fight was won.
Mn. Dickinson believed rank in
justice was being done the veterans
Of the world war and by message to
the senate he started the move for
something like decent compensation
for their services.
1t is generally known that he turned
down the governorship in 1916 in the
interest of state and national prohi-
bition.
This will be a real opportunity to
hear a really big man speak on the
issues of the day. More about his
record will appear next week. Re-
member the date, July 1S, at the
Methodist church.

The clerks of the city are doing

ball team which they recently organ
lied for the purpose of cleaning up on
some or all of the rest of the so called
fast teams which show up from time
to time with the intent of giving bat
tie on either the local or some foreign
diamond. A complete new outfit Of
uniforms has arrived and the dazzl-
ing effect which these new duds will
have on any opposing team will be
supposed to have a lot to do with big
scores for the clerks and small scores
or better still, none at all for the
other fellows.
The clerks say that they are a
strictly 100 per cent Independent team
not in any combine or league a-tall.
They give as their reason for not be-
ing attached to any league and cape
cially the local league, that they were
kicked out. They say that "Nick" Mil

further state that "Nick" and the
other Magnets" packed the meeting
and that they took the result of the
ballot as an invitation to get out of
the league and so forthwith got out.
The clerks claim that the rest of
the teams comprising the Belding
league, got frightened when they saw
what lot of sluggers were arrayed
) against them and realizing that they
stood no chances against such a for
midable foe framed up the plot which
set the clerks out in the cold so far
as the league was concerned.

FORMER LOCAL MAN RUNS
FOR LT.G0vERNOR IN WEST

Friends of Ed. Anderson, of Dem
yer, Colorado, a former local resi-
dent, will be very glad to learn that
he has been selected by the farmers
'non-partisan league as their candidate
for acknowledgements at the coming
election. A copy of the Denver Labor
Bulletin gives Mr.. Anderson much
praise for the part he has taken in
the affairs of labor in the west for a
good many years past and from the
opinion which the paper expresses in
its writeup it is practically a sure
thing that Mr.. Anderson will be elect
ed to the Office. Mr.. Anderson has
been for many years secretary and
treasurer of the Colorado Federation
of Labor and his work for the organ
ization has been marked with tremen-
dous progress and success. While he
is labor leader from start to finish,
he is far from being one of the radical
type, being a man of quiet, thoughtful
and reserved disposition not given to
anything but what will be for the bet
terment of the great mass of work.

REEVES FAMILY HOLD RE-
UNION AT BALDWIN LAKE

Mr.. and Mrs. Walter l.. Reeves, of
Otisco were favored by the return of
their sons to the home roof on the
Fourth. 1t has been the desire of
Mr.. and Mrs. Reeves to celebrate this
holiday annually holding a family
reunion. This time their highest
hopes were realized and the ehtirs
family, no one being absent, motor
ed to Baldwin lake and held a de-
lightful picnic at the Canton pavilion
The day was ideal, the food in such
abundance that the boys from De-
troit and Pontiac wondered where it
all came from and wished that the
reunion could be held every time they
were hungry for some real home
cooked food. One of the boys who
missed his train home, was obliged to
hold up a Ford owner in order to be
present and even avowed he would
have walked rather than have failed
to be present at such festivities. The
occasion was made an expression of
esteem and respect for the parents
of the Reeves boys and plans were
made for similar reunions sure to be
held every summer.
