]. BARLyCORN
GETS AUTO DRIVER
ALL TWISTED Up
PAYS FARMER SIS FOR DRIVING
AUTO THROUGH CORN FIELD
GETS FINED so DOLLARS

John Bowersox, of Ionia, an indi-
vidual eligible at any time for en-
trance to fat mems races. got tangl-
ed up in his driving of the Buick
automobile which he had up here on
Tuesday afternoon, as a result OF hav-
ing imbibed too freely of the cheer
ing, even if prohibited, cup that day
and as a result there wasn't road
in Ionia county wide enough to ac-
comodate the big Buick because Of
the sideways action which it devel-
oped under Johns beliquored condi-
ton.
The automobile made good progress
going through Leland Thompson's
cornfield and it cut quite a lot OF
corn. After getting through the field
and in getting back to the road again
it came very near turning turtle
when John drove it over five or
six foot embankment at the side of
the road. People who witnessed the
stunt state that it was nothing short
of miracle that the machine did
not turtle right there. John, how
ever, managed to get out in the road
but the road had APPARENTLY narrowed
down since he passed that way and
people who live nearby thought they
would lie doing both the driver and
the rest Of the travelling public, to-
gether with people who live along
the road where he passed favor if
they had an officer take him in charge
and Marshal Meginley soon had John
LODGED in the city jail
He was released and came back on
Wednesday morning and plead guilty
to a charge of driving an auto while
intoxicated and paid a fine of $50
and costs and he also paid Leland
Thompson through whose field a part
of the eventful trip was made, SIS for
corn which he had damaged.
Two companions who were with
Bowersox, were also fined SO and
costs, which they paid. Before see
ing the end of their troubles, how
ever, Bowersox had to pay an extra
dollar for having his machine brought
into town.

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT
MIGHT Be A LIFE JOB
WHERE ARGUMENT FOR FOURTH TERM
FOR CLERK MIGHT LEAD
DOES MR.. MOULTON'S KNOW
LEDGE OF ROAD WORK
MAKE HIM INDUS
PENSABLE?
If He Should Die Or Resign Would
All The Road Work Stop?

County Clerk Moulton's campaign
for a fourth term has been largely OF
the gum-shoe variety to date. This
is probably because he raised a cry
against Fred Cook holding the clerk
ship for a fourth term and got his
office on this issue. There is little,
therefore. that can be said in favor
of Mr.. Moulton's having what he did
not want Mr.. Cook to have.
The only argument that Mr.. Moul-
tons hackers have offered thus far
is that as clerk of the county road
commission he is very valuable
man. On that account, they say, he
ought to have another term. \ The
shallowness of such an argument will
appeal to the voter who sits down and
thinks now if Mr.. Moulton succeeds
in his quest for fourth term. 1t will
be the same thing over again. The
same line of reasoning can then be
used in favor of fifth, sixth, and
even a life term.
1t is evident that in the course
of human events, the time will come
when some other good citizen will
have to familiarize himself<wi the
road work in Ionia county, because
public officials, like private citizens,
do not live forever. There is no ar
gument in favor of delaying the
breaking in of a new man for two
years other than to give Mr. Moulton
the job he is after.
Even Mr.. Moulton's most ardent
admirers will not say that William
H. Dilley who is no asking for a first
term as clerk, is not competent to
learn the routine work of the clerks
Office, road commission work and all.
The man who is indispensable in pub
lie office has not yet been born. The
intelligent voter knows this. Mr..
Moulton would stand a much better
show by getting down on his knees
and begging for the job than to try
to make it appear he is the only per-
son qualified to handle it.
