Dedication viii Take Place on Sunday
Next, June 9Th.

During the last two years the Fin
nish Ev. Luth. Church OF this city has
been progressing in every direction OF
activity. Membership OF the congre-
cation has increased, being about 625
with children. The Young Peoples
Christian Society has been organized
to foster the spiritual life and know
ledge among the youth and to aid the
Church work and TO prepare them into
active life. The Sunday School has
been also very active and we'll organi-
zed.
The most notable In the line OF pro-
gress is the constructive improvement
work done in the church building IT.
self. The new basement was built
with complete furnishing, including a
new piano and a hot air furnace which
is heating the church and the base
ment
In the last few weeks a painter and
a decorator has been at work papering
the walls. the ceiling, repairing the
wood work and decorating the interior
OF the church. This work is done by
Mr.. Nestor Thompson OF this city In
the near future the outside OF the
building will also be painted. The Inn
provement work is financially support
ed by the Ladies Aid Society OF the
Church.
In consequence OF the above acti-
vities the celebration will take place
next Sunday. 1t commences with the
regular services at 10000 a. m. A free
collection will be taken for the build
ing fund.
The Ladies Aid Society will serve
dinner in the church parlors from IL
to 2:3O p. m.
An afternoon program starts at 300
o'clock Then there will be speeches
in both the English and the Finnish
languages. Among the speakers are
Rev. Mr.. Bickford of this city; Rev.
r. Maattala OF Negaunee; Rev. A. Haa-
panen OF Hancock and Rev. V. Kuus-
isto OF this city and probably some
others.
Many visitors are expected from
Alpha. Amasa. Stambaugh, Iron River,
and even more remotest places.
All are cordially invited TO attend
the Celebration. Welcome all!

BALK AT "LIF'E'S TREADMILL."
Did you read that speech Sir Auck-
land Geddes made at the nlnety-ninth
annual commencement OF the George
Washington University? II you have
not you ought 10 do so for 1t con
tanned much meat; much that ought
to be chewed and digested.
One passage OF the address is es-
pecially worthy OF consideration:
I'm Europe we know thar an age

mix the signs OF the coming change.
but / have little doubt that Il will
come. A realization OF the aimless-
ness or life lived in labor and to
die, having achieved nothing but
avoidance OF starvation and the
birth OF children also doomed to
the weary treadmill has seized the
minds OF millions"
II Is the failure OF many OF our in
dustrial leaders to appreciate the ex-
tent OF that sentiment that Is delaying
a re-adjustment TO the basis that must
surely come before the industrial un-
rest which has been on the rise since
the ending Of the war is fully and f.
nally allayed.
@When the war was on It was tacitly
understood that with its completion
a different basis would be sought.
Such a condition was freely talked of
and freely accepted. Since the wars
ending there has been an apparent
forgetting OF It; those who are we'd
ded to old conditions are trying TO
force the world back on the old basis
but somehow Il refuses TO be forced.
Others are so busy wringing profits
out OF the rest that they cannot see
the cloud that is gathering and which
will one day burst--what it's precipi-
tation will be, whether II will be

school districts are just now taxed
to the limit to provide accommoda-
tions for the normal public school
population. In many places II is a
serious financial problem TO keep up
with the demands for public school
education. Adopt this amendment
and there is thrown upon the already
greatly taxed school facilities the
problem OF providing accommodations
and tutorage for the many children
that are now taken care OF In private
schools. There are many private
schools besides those supported by the
Catholics. Several OF the Protestant
denominations. particularly the Luth-
erans. maintain private schools. Then
there are the small private institu-
tions where parents who can AFFORD to
do so send their children. Theoreti-
cally all such schools must be closed
and the children being educated in
them turned over to the public school
authorities, already suffering from a
shortage OF school houses and school
teachers. ~r
The only logical solution OF the
problem that would then be forced
upon our school authoities would be
to adopt the private schools as public
schools and allow things to continue
as they are now. One with half an
eye to scholastic conditions can
readily see that the shot aimed at
parochial schools will miss fire and
the recoil will haye an awful kick to

EXPENSIVE RECRUITS

The young men who were in Crystal
Falls this week on a recruiting mis-
sion for the u. s. Army say that its
hard 10 get men 10 go into the army
these days with wages ruling as high
as they are In the iron districts OF the
upper peninsula. Only a compara-
lively few men have been secured In
the peninsula during the past eight
months. A station has been main
tanned at Escanaba where most OF the
men were secured. No recruits were
secured from these parts.
The young men were fine specimens
OF American young men,. Two OF
them came from Minnesota, one from
Bay City, Mich, and. the other from
Louisville. Ky. Their regiment is at
Camp Custer.
The boys said that they met many
young men coming back from Ger
many where the foreign force OF the
American army is now stationed. OF
late the men who return give very
encouraging stories OF conditions in
Germany. Things are getting settled
over in that country and in the opin-
ion OF most OF the men returning
from there. II will be but a short
time before the Germans will be COM
ing to the front industrially.
The men say that the progress in
France has not been nearly as great
as in Germany. Most OF the devast-
ated area remains In the condition II
was when the Armistice was signed.
The women do most OF the work in
France and what clearing up has been
done has been done mainly by women.
There are reasons for this. Fance
lost many men and besides the
French army has not yet been demob-
ilized TO any great extent
The American expeditionary force Is
engaged in mainly in clearing up
Work. IN NeTmany Mheh lhe SoluieiS

pie turned in and helped and after II
was cleaned they kept It clean. In
France the Americans got but little
assistance from the populace and they
were compelled to repeat the cleaning
often as the French people would not
keep things clean.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT CAUSES
INTEREST


Michigan will in all probability see
larger vote cast this fall than in
any election in the history OF the
state. The underlying reason for this
IS that an amendment 70 the state
constitution has been proposed which
would compel every child under 16
years OF age to attend the public
schools.
The amendment was proposed thru
the initiation method and was clearly
aimed at the parochial schools OF
which the Catholic church has by far
the greatest number. although paro-
chial schools are by no means limited
to that church.
While toleration has progressed
very much in the last 100 years there
IS still in evidence some trace OF in
tolerance and bigotry on both sides OF
the religious controversy and this a
mendment unquesiionably had its
inception In intolerance. The desire
TO harm or 20 oppose some religious
creed was more in evidence in the
proposal than was the well being OF
the public schools for II is acknow-
ledged on all sides that our public
school system needs revamping and
the best minds OF the land are just
now engaged in study and research
with that end In view. Any move
ment that will aggreyate present
conditions In our phblic schools will
certainly do them more harm than
good and Is extremely untimed.
That the amendment, II carried
would work contrary TO what Its spon-
sers intended is clear to anyone who
will stop a moment and look this
school question over In a practical

The Supreme Court laid at rest the
question as to the necessity for re-
ferring constitutional amendments to

procedure Is provided for In the state

write; II has taught them 20 think.
More OF them are thinking with each
succeeding day. AS they think they
arrive at the deduction that Sir Auck-
land Geddes tells US OF. They believe
that there is more to life than avoid
ing starvation and begetting on
spring" and are reaching out for a
better end than mere existence, They
are striving for an ideal.
The orgy OF extortion being indulg-
ed in by the greater portion OF the
industrial world today Is the danger
that threatens. How long viii people
who have set their ideals at something
better than mere existence submit to
the laws shortcomings, to the heed
lessness OF the governing class who
pay little attention to the change that
is gradually but surely coming over
the people. Sir Auckland Geddes'
warning is pregnant with wisdom.

SUGAR
The exorbitant charge which Is
placed upon sugar these days has op-
ened the eyes OF the people to what
has been going on in the business
world more than anything else in the
food line. First Of all one is liable 10
blame the retailer for the high charge.
This is wrong Chances are that the
retailer isn't making as great profit
upon the sugar he doles out over his
counter as he did when the price was
in the neighborhood Of 10cts. II takes
more of the retailers money 10 buy
sugar these days and the loss in han
ding coupled with the uncertainty OF
the market makes a greater hazard
Nor is the average wholesaler 70
blame. We are told Of one wholesale
house which purchased carload of
sugar last week and II cost $23, 900
spot cash, for the sugar hounds are
playing safe and making the mer-
chants pay cash with bill OF lading
these days.
Nor is the grower of the cane to
blame. II reports are true the sugar
planter gets but about cts for the
raw sugar. The niger in the wood
pile is the fellow between the grow
er and the refner, the fellow who has
gobbled up the crop and is wringing |
the last penny out OF the speculative |
venture. In this he has been aided |
very materially by the obstinacy OF |
Pres. Wilson who refused to buy up |
the entire Cuban crop as he was ad-
vised to do by the sugar equalization
board and which he could haye done
had he not been peeyed at Congress.
His excuse is that the life OF the eq-
ualization board was !ndeterminate
because OF the necessity for legisla-
ton TO prolong 1t.
Likewise, sugar spectators are
aided by the consuming public which
Insists upon continuance OF IT'S roit-
ous indulgence in candies. ice cream
and other sweets. Statistics show
hat in 1865 the consumption OF sugar
per individual was IS pounds, in 1875
L was 43 pounds. in 1895 1t was 62
pounds, in 1906 n pounds. In 1918.
iue to the rationing of sugar, 1t was
,ut n pounds while in 1919 in in
creased with a bound to SO pounds
Der capita.
So long as the public continues to
indulge to the extent 1t has in these
uxuries il must expect to pay an ex-
,rbitant price for what sugar it uses
n its teas and coffees. The public
las it in its power to stop the rise
