 Prosperuos For Some.
 'In London these are prosperous times for the skilled help but poor times for the unski1led. Houses and rooms are scarce. It is seldom that one may be found but when it is you must pay little less than a fortune to rent it for a week. Yet there is plenty of money in the great city. At Christmas time merchants stated that never before had buying been so ex- tensive. People are again demanding luxuries.

PITCHED BATTLE
 AFTER AMBUSCADE

(Continued From Page One.) efforts in that direction have been effectua1ly frustrated.
 From authoritative source it was learned that a special order had been issued by the staff of the Irish Republican army dealing with plans for a campaign of violence in Eng land. The allegation was made by police officials that they have con- nected up the Irish self-determina- ton League with this conspiracy, al- though there is no direct accusation against Arthur O'Brien, president of the league.
 When the first alarm of Sim F'ein violence in England was spread the police took drastic precautions and it became difficult for the Sim Feiners to conscript agents in this city It was then that the chiefs of the Irish Re- publican army decided to send a special envoy from Ireland, according Scotland Yard.
 The police believe that this envoy is already in custody. James Moran. a 19 year old youth, who was cap- turd in a raid after the attempt tc fire an oil warehouse at Wandsworth, is the leader delegated by the Re- ,publican army to handle the terror fism campaign. The police say thai they seized a document in Moran'S Handwriting reporting to Dublin or the detailed plans for the Wands- worth fire.
 Moran and three companions were arraigned and charged with shooting officers of the law with intent to kill They were remanded without bail.

Near EAST RE-
LIEF COMMITTEE
Makes PLEA
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE
STARVING AND WITH
OUT CLOTHES
ALL ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP
III. l.. Crosby of the Owosso SAVINGS =
Bank in Charge of Contributions

An appeal to people of Shiawassee
county for liberal response to the
drive for the relief of the suffering
men, women and children in the Near
East, was issued Saturday by the
committee in charge of the drive. The
appeal follows:
"The Near East Relief was incor-
porated by an Act of Congress in
1919. Among the general officers
are such men as Cleveland H. Dodge,
William Howard Taft, Charles Evans
Hughes and Charles w. Elliott. Some
of the men on the Michigan commit
tee are Governor Alex J. Groesbeck,
Luren d. Dickinson, Marion l.. Bur-
ton, president of the University of
Michigan, and A. B. Cook of Maple
River, master of the state grange.
"The field of operation extends
from Constantinople to Persia. 1t
lies especially among the former SUBJ
ject races of the Ottoman Empire,
such as the Armenians, the Nestor-
ians, the Syrians and the Assyrians.
"The immediate object is physical
relief, the distribution of food and
clothing to save men, women and
children from death through starva-
tion and exposure. In addition to
this, it has become necessary to care
for the children made orphans by
and deportations and to
provide hospitals and medicines for
those suffering from disease and NAL
nutrition.
"The state committee hopes to
raise $4,000 in Shiawassee county,
besides the grain the farmers are
contributing.
"The local committee respectfully
urges the churches, clubs, lodges and
all other social or business organiza-
tions to contribute for this cause.
Donations from individuals are also
earnestly solicited.
"All contributions should be sent
to Harry l.. Crosby at the Owosso
Savings Bank, where an accurate ac-
counting of all the funds will be
made"

COMMITTEE.

JOHN DECKER OF DURAND
GIVEN JUDGEMENT OF So, 500.
Claimed CIeland Fair Alienated
Mrs. John Decker's Affections

A jury in circuit court last Friday
night gave John Decker, Durand rail
road man, judgment of $500
against Cleland Fair, in Decker's
$4,000 suit for alleged alienation
of Mrs. Decker's affections. The jury
was out from 3 80 o'clock until short
ly before o'clock.
Decker claimed that Fair had been
out with Mrs. Decker frequently in
1920 and that he had poisoned her
mind against Decker by telling her
that if she would marry him, he could
give her many luxuries that her hus-
band could not afford to give her.
Fair, who was married at the time,
made a complete denial of the
charges, and said that his acquaint-
ance with Mrs. Decker was only cas-
ual and that the only time he was
ever with her alone was when she
asked him to take her with him to
the home of farmer where Fair
said he was going to make arrange
ments for some apples. He said that
she told him she was going to the
same place and asked if she could
ride with him.

COUNTY CLERK RECEIVES
1922 LICENSE PLATES
Burnett Urges People to SECURE
Their Plates Early ----~

Five thousand three hundred auto.
mobile license plates have been re-
ceived by Arch Burnett, county clerk,
for distribution among the automo-
bile owners of the county. The IL
censes and plates will go on sale
December l, Mr.. Burnett announces.
The secretary of state is allotting
to each county a number of licenses
which it is believed will be sufficient
to supply all of the owners in the
counties. The plates are numbered
consecutively, and awarded in blocks
to the counties, to enable the officers
to tell by the number of the car,
what county it is owned in. The
licenses to be issued in this county
run from 274,301 to 279, 900, in
elusive.
The number of licenses sent to
this county this year is an increase
of ten percent over the number al
lotted last year. 1t is the desire of
the secretary of state that automo-
bile owners obtain their licenses
through their county clerks. Mr.. Bur-
nett urges that owners get their IL
censes early to avoid congestion dur
ing the latter part of December.

Kings Daughters circles about the
county to be sold.
Teachers in the public schools of
the county will be asked to cooper
ate in the sale of the seals, the cam
paign having been endorsed by How

GETS MEDAL FOR BRAVE ACT.

The Court of Honor of the National
council recently awarded a bronze
medal to Harry G. Harper, a charter
member of Salt Lake Troop No. 81,
for his courage and prompt action In
saving the life of five-year-old child
who was In danger of being dashed
to death over an embankment in an
automobile. The child was alone in his
fathers car and accidentally released
the brakes, setting the machine mov-
ing backward toward the embankment.
The child's screams attracted the at
tention of young Harper, who ran out
from his own yard, jumped on the
running board of the car and succeeded
in stopping it, just as it balanced itself
on two wheels on the edge. A mo-
ment's delay and both the child and
the scout would probably have been
crushed under the car. Harper is an
Eagle scout and distinguished himself
during the war, for his achievements
In selling Liberty bonds and War Saw
ings stamps. He was awarded medals
for both these services and possesses
the ace medal with five silver bars and
the Liberty loan medal with bars of
honor for each campaign.
