With the declaration of the inten-
ton of the Western Oil and Gas Dis
tributing agency to establish drive
in filling station here, came the an
nouncement from the Standard Oil
interests that they would also put in
a station here. The concern had al
ways heretofore held out that this
city was too small for station of
this kind, but all at once the place
is big enough for two such places
and the Standard Oil people now
have a sign erected on the property
lust across the street east of the new
Western station at the corner of w.
Main and Broas streets to the effect
that they will soon erect drive in
station there According to press no.
tees we see that the Standard Oil
company is following closely on the
heels of their competitor in putting
these stations in everytime that the
little company puts station in a
city. At Portland it was given out
that the Standard Co. would lose
practically $4,000 every year it op-
Grated filling station there, but
they are going to put it in case the
Western company goes ahead with
their station.

TO TALK OVER
$4,000 LOAN FOR
STREET PAVINGS
FIGURES SHOW THAT MUCH
MONEY Is SPENT IN MAIN
TANNING GRAVEL ROADS

A meeting of the members of the
board of commerce will be held in
the city hall on Friday evening, Feb
ruary Is. for the purpose of talking
over the proposition of voting for or
against the 100000 loan with which
it is proposed to build set Of con-
crete roads in the city leading from
the ends of the brick pavements al
ready in to the city limits.
Considerable money is spent each
year now in keeping up these gravel
roads and this is claimed to be, by
many in the nature of loss, in that
the work of repairing is so soon de-
stroyed by the traffic which goes
over the roads. Concrete roads
would do away with this constant up
keep and once in, the cost of main
tainence would be but trifing.
1t is hoped that large turn out
will be present at the meeting as it
is a matter in which the entire peo-
pie of the community should be in

After the calling to order by the

.LYTELL DUE SOON
At THE EMPRESS
IN FAMOUS PLAY
IN "ALIAS JIMMY VA
LENTINE", UNDERWORLD
PLAY BY ARMSTRONG

Bert Lytell will be seen Sunday at
the Empress theatre in Metros
screen version OF the ihternationa,,y
famous crook drama, Alias Jimmy
Valentine" from the play by Paul
Armstrong.
20 remark OH the natEra of this
play borders on the superfluous, for
1T probably is the most popular and
successful melodrama written in the
last decade. 1t was for the first
time presented on the stage in
New York. with II. B. Warner in the
title role, and ran for a long, crowd
ed season. The extended career the
piece has had on the road and in
stock companies needs no comment.
Alias Jimmy Valentine" is a role
entirely different from any he has
portrayed in Metros "fewer and bet
ter series of special productions. His
previous appearances, as the tom
permental modiste in lombard,
Ltd" and as the supercilious and bril-.
liant Charley Steele in Sir Gilbert
Parker's "The Right Of Way" are
far removed in character from the
magnetic jail-bird hero, ~rAlias Jim
my Valentine" whose name is a
household word in America.
To say that the part is one ad-
mirably suited to Mr.. Lytell's abili-
ties rather discounts them for it is be
coming known that this young Me-
tro star does not need role tailored
to him. He is probably the one young
male star of the screen wnv makes
his Characterization dividual,
makes them different from the con-
ventional type of theatrical hero.
Jimmy is person, however, whom
Mr.. Lytell knows from having por-
trayed him in stock, on the stage.

THREE LOCAL
BANKS TO Be
CLOSED SATURDAY
MEMORY OF AND HONOR OF
"HONEST ABE" CAUSES IN
STITUTIONS TO CLOSE

If you are calculating on doing
any banking on Saturday, better at
tend to it on Friday, for Saturday
being February II, the anniversary
of the birth of one of the nations
most popular presidents-our mar
tyred Lincoln, will cause the doors
of Belongs three financial institu-
tions to remain closed, even though
the date happens to fall on Saturday
usually one of the main days in the
week for business.
AS a rule there are lot of peo-
pie who forget that national or le-
gal holidays come along occasionally
and they are seen trying To break
into the bank every little while on
those occasions. Also on those days
there are always a number of people
who happen to be standing around
and giggle and litter TO beat the
cars and seem to think that there is
something funny about person try
ing to get into a bank on legal hol-
iday. Sometimes they laugh out
right and it makes the party who
would gain entrance feel like plug
ged nickle after a Pere Marquette
train had run over it, TO have folks
act so.
So, remember Saturday and re-
member also that it isn't any thing
but a wholesome and high respect
which the American people have for
old Abe Lincoln, martyred many
years ago, that has closed the banks
for the day.

HOOVER IS TO
SPEAK BEFORE
LINCOLN CLUBBERS
SENATOR WILLIS, MRS. HARRI-
EFT TAYLOR UPTON AND
OTHERS ON PROGRAM

Herbert Hoover, Americas fore
most private citizen, is to be the star
attraction at the Lincoln Club Ban
quet in Grand Rapids, Friday, Feb
ruary 11th.
Mr.. Hoover was invited to speak
at the Lincoln Club Banquet as early
as the first part of last December
when he was in Chilago and at that
time signified his intention of being
on hand. Although Mr.. Hoover is a
very busy man, probably the fact
that Michigan has responded so gen
erously to his appeal for European
relief, has had great deal to do
with his willingness to visit Grand
Rapids. No other American before
the public today is prepared to give
as interesting a message as is Her
bert Hoover and certainly there is
no public speaker who will be listen
ed to more attentively than this man
who has given so much of his time
and so much of himself to the SER
vice Of others. His coming to Grand
Rapids sets another record that will
be hard to equal in the future, al
though the Linroln Club has had
some remarkable speakers in the past
In addition to Mr. Hoover, Senator
Willis, ex-governor of Ohio, who sue
ceeded President Elect Harding in
the Senate, will deliver the Lincoln"
speech of the evening. Senator Will
lis topic will be "Lincoln's Princi-
pies 1S61-1921"' Senator Willis is
one of abe noted orators of the coun-
try and draws tremendous crowds
wherever he is announced to speak.
He is sure to deliver message that
will long be remembered by Lincoln
Day Banqueters.
Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, chair
man of the Women's Division of the
National Republican Committee, a
noted orator, will be the third speak
er, and in view of women's position
in politics today her message will be
timely one.
Robert G. Hill County Clerk, of
Grand Rapids, Michigan, is chairman
of the ticket committee. The ban
quet will be held in the Coliseum
promptly at $50 o'clock on Friday
evening, February 11th. The Furni-
ture city band will supply the musi-
cal program.

HOME TALENT
PROVIDED TWO
PLEASANT EVENTS
STAGING OF "ThE WISHING
RING" WAS SPLENDID Sue
CESS IN EVERY WAY

The Wishing Ring" which was
presented under the auspices of the
Ladies Social Circle of the Congre-
gational church, under the direction
of Miss Helen McMillin, at the opera
house Thursday and Friday nights
of last week, filled the bill in every
way that could have been expected
and we have as yet to hear the first
word of complaint on the part of
any of the hundreds of people who
made up the audience on those nights
The play started out with little
Misses Carolyn French and Ruth
Gregg appearing on the stage on a
trip to bed. They became engaged
in a conversation which turned out
to be a denunciation of everything
as it should be with their horrid
able. While thus engaged they go
to sleep and a fairy appears and
bears them away to story -book-land
where they encounter many strange
folk and have many exciting instan
ces, especially when they learn of
the sentence which will be passed out
to the possessor of the stolen wishing
ring.
IneIe was HOL Il uull HlOHlSHL III
the whole play and it took the peo-
pie of the audience back to the time
when as children some older person
told them fairy tales or they read
these themselves. Each act and each
scene brought back some familiar
story Of your childhood and to be
one of the audience was like under
going, for a time, a period of re-
juvenation.
To attempt to pick those whose
acting would seem 10 have been best
would be rather hard matter. Ev
cry member of the cast, from the
tinest tots who appeared, to the
young people who tok the leading
roles. being at their very best and
forming a really "all star" cast.
The careful manner in which the ac-
tors had been schooled under their
director, Miss Helen McMillin, who
came here as the representative of
the John B. Rogers Producing COM
pany, was perhaps responsible for
the fact that everyone acted as near
perfect as could be and everything
went like clockwork. This also
speaks very creditably for the cap
ability of Miss McMillin, but it would
be hard for her TO select group OF
young people and secure the results
which she secured here every time
that she has put this pleasing play
on. The special scenery and cos
tunes which Miss McMillin brought
with her for the play were of the
best ever shown on the local stage
and added much to the beauty of
the play.
The Ladies Social Circle is to be
congratulated upon its success in
presenting "The Wishing Ring" and
those people who assisted in making
it a financial success, which it was,
feel that they received full value for
the time and money spent in attend
ing.
