HARBOR BEACH BANK
MAKES UP SHORTAGE
Bank Accuses Former Official,
But Puts Up Another $4,000

Bad Axe, Feb. 16-An investiga-
tion into the $4,000 shortage of
the State Bank of Harbor Beach,
has been conducted by Prosecut-
ing Attorney Boomhower, together
with an assistant from the attor-
ney generals office and represen-
tatives of the state banking de-
partment. The investigation was
in the form of grand jury pro-
ceeding before Recorder Burgess
and was held behind closed doors.
Responsibility for the shortage
may be placed by the authorities
as a result of the investigation.
Henry Binkle, cashier of the bank,
is declared in a'statement made by
officers of the bank and published
in the Harbor Beach Times,
weekly paper, to have caused the
deficiency. That part of the bank
statement placing blame for the
shortage says:
Henry Binkle, the defaulting
cashier of the bank, caused the de-
ficiency in the bank accounts by
forging checks and notes and Jug
Cling accounts and bank balances.
These errors have all been found.
1t is presumed that the money Mr..
Binkle got went into outside inter-
ests."
AS yet no charge has been made
and no arrests ordered. Officials
of the bank have deposited a cash
balance to offset the shortage and
have placed an additional $4,000
at the disposal of the bank. The
stockholders in their published
statement declare that they have
lagreed to cover any deficiency that
may arise up to half million dol
lars.
The banks published statement
was signed by Roy Bricker, CASH
ier, Robinson Wellock and F. c..
Leszczynski.
AT the John Doe proceedings be-
fore the recorder, Binkle appeared
together with Joseph j. Potts and
Robert Wellock as witnesses. The
object of the investigation was to
guide the authorities in the issu-
ance of the formal complaint and
warrant for the arrest of the
cashier.

PHYSICIANS TO
INCREASE FEES
Claim Boost is Necessary Owing
to Present Conditions

The fees of the physicians of
the city have been boosted to meet
the increased cost of surgical sup
plies and increased overhead ex-
penses according to a statement
which they have outlined.
Following is the new schedule
of fees for the city,
Day calls, z a. m. to 6 p. M,
$3.50; evening calls, 6 to 9 p. m,
So; night calls, 9 p. m. to z a. M,
So; office consultation, So and up.
Country calls-$1 per mile up to
six miles and SOC for each addi-
tional mile.
Obstetrical cases, $25 and up.
AS most physicians utilize the
forenoons for making rounds, pa
tients are requested to send in
their calls early in the day so that
the doctor may better systematic
his plans, thus facilitating his
work, and also allowing him more
time to spend in his home.

MEN WANT
COUNTY NORMAL AGAIN
Re-Establishment Asked For By
District School Officers
Meeting

The afternoon session of the
county school officers meeting on
Tuesday of last week was fully as
successful as the morning session
and many topics of interest were
taken up and discussed. E. T.
Blackney was the speaker of the
afternoon and talked of the neces-
sity of securing teachers early in
the year.
The matter of salaries for teach
ers was also discussed and the SEN
timent towards offering higher
salaries was very strong. 1t was
pointed out by Mr.. Blackney that
even the young women from the
rural districts had been refusing
to take positions in country
schools because of the unattrac-
tive salaries. Many officers spoke
in favor of raising the standard
in this regard.
The necessity for re..establish-
ing the st. Clair county normal
school was discussed and it was
thought that the demand for this
institution will be great enough
to warrant it's being opened next
fall.

gave an interesting address Gov.

NO MORE CITY DELIVERY

Effective March 1st all city de-
livery service will be discontinued
by the undersigned stores of Yale.
We regret very much the neces-
sity which compels the discon-
tinuance Of this service but the in
creasing cost coupled with the res
ignation of our faithful delivery
man. Mr.. Beadle. and the fact that
those of us who have run indepen-
dent deliveries. find the cost far
out of proportion to our profits,
makes the action imperative.
Our older merchants we'll re-
member when it was possible to
secure boy to deliver with cart
for $1.00 a week, while today it
would be impossible to secure a
boy who would do this work prop
erly at any price.
At this time also, sugar was pur-
chased at 4c per pound and sold
at SC; today we pay 14c and sell
at 15c. Oil was 612c per gallon
and sold at 10c; today it costs 18c
and is sold at zoe. The average
profit on flour is about 12c per
sack. Many other articles are sim
liar and it will be readily seen that
the profit on these goods do not
pay for the delivery expense ex-
cept when bought in large guam
titles or in connection with guam
titles of other goods.
Also, our city customers have en-
ioyed the same price as our coun-
try customers who have taken
their goods from the store, and the
! increasing cost has made it nee
essary for us to either charge ex-
ira for delivery service or discon-
tinue the service. After talking
with many of our customers the
consensus of opinion seemed to be
that it would be better to maintain
our present prices and discontinue
the delivery rather than increase
the cost of articles delivered.
; Our action is in line with SINH
lar action taken by many towns
around US during the war, and in
OhOoC IOWho WHCIC KOOQ JTldl
has been made it meets with the
approval of the customers as we'll
as the stores. 1t is also a known
fact that today the far great
er portion of groceries sold in our
larger cities are purchased at the
cash and carry stores.
We respectfully urge you to re-
serve criticism until the PROPOSE
tion has been given a thorough
trial and assure you that the low
est prices possible will be main
tanned at all times.

OUTSIDE AGITATORS
(By Henry Ford)

An attack on industry is not an
attack on speculative capitalists, but
an attack on the people who are
supported by industry. Honest, in
dependent industry is the greatest
enemy that speculative capitalism
has. Fully 95 per cent Of the agita-
tion which threatens the well-being
Of industry is financed by specula'
tive capitalists for the sake of driv-
ing q wedge between employer and
employe, whose interests are in com.
mon, and breaking down the loyalty
to the productive institution on which
both depend. Threats Of disorder and
destruction do not have their origin
with the men who work in the shop
but in outside agitators who do not
work in any shop and will not work
in any shop. The Gripping of in.
dustry is a victory for the common

SOPHIE BRUCE, COLORED
HAS PLEASING SOUTHERN
VOICE.. FORMERLY MADE.
\ ON { IN THIS CITY

Would you like to hear the melody
of the old time negro voice? To the
southern ear there is nothing else
quite so sweet as the grooming of the
negro voice and when that voice is
taken and trained its tones become
doubly sweet and they are softened
by a touch of culture that find their
way to the heart.
Sophie Bruce who is reputed to have
one of these voices is in this city
and will remain, here until next
Thursday. She is visiting with her
aunt Clara Nash.
Sophie Bruce came to this city
from Waco, Texas when she was Z
years Of age. She worked here as
a domestic until she was q years
of age a portion of this time was
spent in the home of Mrs. John j..
Gait and she was also employed in
the homes of other Ardmore peo-
pie.
she left here and with the aid of
persons in Baltimore she was sent to
school. She studied in Washington
and in Boston and after five years
of special training she began the
work OF Gospel singing. She has
been absent from Ardmore II years
and these years have been filled
with work and her voice shows the
result of this training.
Friday evening she sang at the
Second Baptist church (colored at
First Avenue and + street south
east. a portion OF the church was
reserved for the white friends of the
woman and n number Of white peo.
pie availed themselves of the priv
ilege of hearing her. The woman
sang only gospel songs and it is
said that there We're tears in every
eye. Following the singing there were
many testimonies given by the white
people who spoke of their apprecia-
ton Of the woman and Of her
voice.
Sophie Bruce is accompanied by j.
+. Jones of Baltimore who is
pianist and also possesses a very
fine alto voice.
Down here where Sophie was rails
ed she is known as "Sophie" but on
the road at her work she is adver.
tised as Madam Bruce. She feels
that she is called to sing the Cos
pei just as the preacher feels that he
is called to preach it. Her singing is
confined exclusively to Gospe. hymns.
