COMMISSION ADOPTED EASTERN
TIME As THE STANDARD MERE
ALL The MINES ARE AGREED
Everything But the Railroads WIN
Go Onto the New Basis at
Midnight Sunday April 18 I

The city commission acted upon the
governors request that clocks in the
state be set ahead one hour, at its
meeting last Wednesday night. The
proclamation was carried in these col-
umns last week.
Immediately upon its receipt the
members of the commission got busy
in an effort to ascertain the wishes of
the people of the community. They
found that the mines wished the ad-
vance in time. They found that the
merchants wished IL on the condition
that every business went ahead.
The school board egreed TO make
the change II all other agencies would
make similar change. This decided
the commission to take official action
and resolution establishing Eastern
time as the standard time for Crystal
Falls during the summer was adopted,
The date on which this change is to
take effect was set as midnight OF
Sunday, April Is. On the Saturday
evening previous the people Of Crystal
Falls will set their clocks ahead one
hour and forget about 1t, they will
wake up and continue their work
without any interruption.
The one exception will be the rail
ways. Trains will leave one hour lat
er than they formerly did. The mail
will arrive at 1000 a m. instead of
900 and the evening trains will de-
part at GAO and $40 instead of the
former times--that is, that will be
their time locally.

Last Week

The Stambaugh Township Develop
ment Bureau, under the management
of George Il. Bishop has started to
function. Mr.. Bishop has been lay
ing his plans and Is now ready to
spring them as occasion warrants.
His first move will be to try to capture
the Older Boys Conference for 1921
and with this purpose in view he and
delegation of about fifty boys, ac-
companied by number OF adult as
sistants. left for Negaunee where the
1920 conference Is now in session, yes

primed for battle 10 bring home the
bacon. The adult members OF the del
egation consisted of Chas. f. Law
renee, Gen. Supt of the Verona Mining
company and President OF the village
OF Caspian; A. III. Trestrail, clerk in
the Verona Mining Co. office; Mr.. Ford
chemist at the Rogers mine; George

vote cast that was expected, many
staying away from the polls. especial
ly in Crystal Falls city.
The vote was much larger than last
year as the women were voting this
time while at the last general election
the soldiers were absent and the wo-
men had not yet been given the ballot
Even with the increases from the two
sources mentioned the vote fell far
below expectations and about seventy
five per cent over that at the last gem
eral election.
City Contest Tame Affalr
There was but one contest In the
city, that for Commissioner. Owing
to the fact that Mr. Ross was absent
from the city and no canvass was
made in his behalf, there was not
much interest in the local voting. The
main feature was the presidential
primary.
There was a mix-up in filing names
or there would have been no contest
on the ommissionership. Mr.. Ross
is very sick man and there was a
general understanding that he would
mt be candidate for the Office. With
that understanding the friends Of Mr..
Notes circulated his petition and filed
II. At the same time the friends OF
Mr.. Ross circulated a petition for him
and filed II. He had nothing to do with
the filing and thus the mlsunderstand-
ing arose. Mr. Ross is a fine citizen
and made the city a good official and
It was regretted on all sides that the
wires got crossed as they did, causing
a contest when there ought not to
have been any.
Mr.. Notes won out by handsome
vote and will take his place on the
commission for the next three years.
Liberty Won TreasurershIp
In tho township OF Crystal Falls
Henry Libery won the office OF treas
urer over Ralph Waite by majority
of 20. This AFFAIR was another unfor-
tunate condition. Mr., Waite was chos-
en- trasurer last year and as every
other treasurer had been given sec
ond term he naturally felt Il was due
him.
In the mean time, Henry Liberty,
a soldier who was severely wounded
in France, and whose arm Is so badly
effected that he cannot do any manual
labor, returned home and his soldier
companions Immediately set out to get
him a Job that he could handle, thus
they set upon the treasurership. II
was the wounded soldier and not per-
sonalities that beat Mr.. Waite. Had
conditions been different Waite would
certainly have been reelected.
AS II is, everyone is glad that Lib
erty won. even Mr. Waite who proved
himself a game loser, and the best OF
good feeling reigns.

1t appears that there will be more

reason for the probability is that
