RE-0PENING Of
BANK PROPOSED
First National Bank of Tomb
stone May Soon Be Doing
Business Once More

TOMBSTONE. Oct. 3. = Working
toward the end OF reopening the First
National Bank. the committee repre-
senting the depositOrs, who organized
last week, met yesterday and today
with Attorney William A. Bowen. rep
resenting Mrs. Mary Costello, presi-
dent of the bank, and Examiners Nc
Cans and Brewer, and plans were
formulated looking toward the early
reopening Of the institution.
At least all interested have starter
in with that end in view, and Bowen
has signified his intention to remain
here until all details can be complet-
ed and the bank placed on a sound
basis.
With the unanimous consent of the
committee representing the deposit
ors, from whom guarantee of retain
ing deposits for the next six months
will be necessary, the Costello inter-
ests, it is reported, will furnish an
amount of cash sufficient to place the
bank in liquid condition, endorsing
all questionable loans.
Today the committee representing
the depositors started out to see every
depositor represented on the banks
books in an effort to obtain their guar
anteo. which will be necessary before
the proper steps can be taken.
III $ VIII take several days and only
depositors representing a deposit of
500 or over are to be asked to sign,
although the depositor's committee
will either see in person or write to
every deposition, little or big, to allow
as much of their money as possible to
remain with the bank until the gen.
eral course of business can be resum-
ed. That this will be done almost
unanimously is assured and accord
ing to all concerned.
Both Examiners Means and Brew
er, it is understood, will recommend
TO the Comptroller of the Currency
that the bank be reopened on the plan
'"~rrr'ated. which will place the in
stitution on a solid and sound basis,
it is agreed, and with the continue
ton of business, will place it among
the best banks in the country.
A number of details will yet have
to be worked out, which will be ac-
complished by the time the depositors
committee reports and following re-
organization and election of officers,
headed by Mrs. Costello as president,
who will retain practically all of the
stock in the bank, the reopening will
follow.
That the interest shown by the de-
positors to. back up Mrs. Costello in
the opening of the bank has been APP
preciated, is shown by the action of
her representative in opening nego-
tiations toward opening, and it is
agreAd that the depositors almost as
a whole will agree to the conclusions
reached in order that the institution
may again open it's doors, precluding
all possibility of the bank going into
the hands of receiver, which at best
would be long drawn out affair.

Debating Team
Defeats PellstOn
Gets Two To One In Spir.
tied Debate.

The local High School Debating Team
went to Pellston last Friday night and
succeeded in defeating the strong
Peliston team, getting two to one
decision.
The Pellston affirmative team had
already established an excellent record
having defeated both Alpena and
Petoskey.. They had one speaker, a
young man, who was an exceptionally
good debater and his wonderful work
had been carrying the team to victory.
However, the Pellston team was unable
to answer the negative argument OF
the East Jordan team and so failed to
establish case.
This victory is the fourth one in sue.
cession for East Jordan and gives East
Jordan a total of fifteen out of a posi-.
BILE sixteen points.
The next debate will be held at East
Jordan on Friday evening, Feb'y 18th,
and will be with Cheboygan. II East
Jordan wins this debate it will enable
the local school to enter the final
elimination contest for the State cham
pionship.

Infant Narrowly
Escapes Death
In Fire Started by Another Child
Playing With Matches.

The cries of an infant child at cru
cial moment last Saturday noon saved
itself from death by suffocation in a
fire started by four-year-old brother
while playing with matches.
Last Saturday noon Fire Chief Adams
noticed puffs of smoke coming from the
windows OF the second floor Of the
building owned by Miss A. M. Kneale,
and in which her millinery store is
located; the second floor being oc-
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Ellsey.
On investigating he found the front
rooms ablaze and a little four-year-old
boy crying in the hallway, who stated
that while alone he had been playing
with matches which started the blaze.
Chief Adams Immediately ordered
the chemical wagon brought down and
started to close up the rooms to kill the
blaze. II was at this time that an in
fant child, lying on bed, commenced
to cry. A few minutes later and il
would have been suffocated as already
the rooms were dense with smoke.
The chemical wagon responded
promptly and our firemen extinguished
the blaze without much financial loss.

It is barely possible that within the
next hundred years congress will do
something to alleviate the deplorable
condition OF disabled veterans of the
world war. The fact that the vets will
all be dead then should be of some
slight interest to our dear representa-.
tives in Washington. 1t won't cost SC
much. There is seldom any individual
profit in being a Humanitarian, and
gratitude appears to be only money
deep.
A Chicago paper AYERS that "giver
a pickle and few moments OF undis
turbed time, a woman can solve any
problem on earth" Give 'em barrel
brother, give 'em a barrel, and elect
'em all to Congress. Just now the
country is sorely in need Of an army oi
solvers.
Certain sections of the country are
mnch concerned over why a woman
closes her eyes when she is being kiss
ed. But speaking from experience, We
are unable to speak.

Herbert Hoover says he can "see no
reason why the United States should
cancel the war debts of the allies when
they are spending more for armament
than it would take to pay the principal
and interest" Hoover said a mouthfu
and we pass it along. That ten billion
dollars the allies owe us would feed a
good many hungry Americans in these
days Of unemployment. Just because
we are q rich nation is no reason why
we should sit complacently and watch
other countries default in their obliga.
tons to us.
One of the first acts of the new con.
gress should be revision of our i'm.
migration laws. With more than three
million men now out OF employment in
this country one begins to wonder how
the hundreds Of thousands pouring In
from Europe are going to earn an hon
est living. There is nothing to be gain
ed by turning America into an interna
tional poor farm.

ty entered the State Rural School Play
Story Contest conducted by the Athle-
tic Department of the State Department
of Public Instruction.
Regulations required that letters be
written to the county commissioner Of
schools in ink, telling of the uses to
which the play ground material presen-
ted to the school had bee put, of the
Joy the children had received from
this equipment, of the desire of both
parents and children for further dis
tribution of such material, and that the
letters must indicate that both parents
and children knew that the recreationai
equipment was purchased from the pro-
ceeds Of the earnings of legalized box
ing, and further that il cost neither the
county nor the state anything in an in
crease in taxes.
Papers were to be marked on origin
ality, conciseness, penmanship, and
neatness in the order named. All child
rem writing must be attending the rur-
al schools of the state and must be in
the fifth grade or above. Five letters

and sent to the state from every county
entering the contest. The county send
ing in the five best letters will receive
first prize OF $3.50 worth of equipment.

best letters will receive 800 worth of
equipment, and the county sending In
the five third best letters will receive
third prize of $50 worth Of equipment.
The best letter written by any girl in
the county was by Gladys Anderson of
District no. Z, Boyne Valley. Gladys
will receive her choice Of volley ball,
tennis racket, or an indoor ball and
bat. The best letter written by any
boy in the county was that written by

Ger ball or football. The five best let
ters in the county in the order of excel
lence were as follows: Gladys Ander-

E. J. H. S. WINS FIRST
BASKETBALL GAME
LAST FRIDAY
Will Play Here This Friday
Night With Kalkaska.

Basketball at the East Jordan High
School has been revived after several
years OF inactivity. AS soon as the new
gymnasium was in condition to begin
practice, the boys started to work. The
first games were scheduled away from
home in order to enable the boys to
get some experience on foreign floors
before attempting q game at home.
The boys developed unusually fast and
are now playing clean, fast game.
Last week at Elk Rapids they defeat
ed the Elk Rapids High School boys by
q score of 40 to II. The East Jordan
boys were fast, accurate in shooting
baskets, and used excellent team work.
The first game Of the season at home
and the first game in the new gymnas-
ium will be next Friday night, at which
time the Kalkaska High School team
appears here. The Kalkaska team de.
feated the East Jordan team at Kalkas-
ka on the 2Sth day OF January by a
small score The game should be fast
and exciting. Coach Speltx is working
the team this week particularly for this
game, and unless all indications fail,
the first game in the new gymnasium
will be victory for East Jordan. A
preliminary game will be played by
the sophomore and junior teams.
These teams played nearly tie game
just short time ago and both are pre-
dieting victory on Friday night.
Every lover Of good sports should be
out. Seating facilities are excellent so
that every spectator will be able to see
every play made. Admission twenty
five and thirty-five cents. First game
called at TOO sharp.

JUST A LITTLE TRUTH.

America is suffering from what might
be termed our national ailment-an al
most universal desire to obtain some
thing for as near nothing as possible.
The manufacturer is not content with
a moderate profit. He hungers for a
continuance of the rich dividends that
accrued during the war.
The employees themselves aspire to
the maximum wage, but are seldom av-
erse to reducing the amount of work
performed.
It's the same in every line of busi-
ness, in every walk of life.
Throw a scrap of meat into the hem
yard and the spryest Of them will grab
it aud duck for safety. 1t wants to hog
the whole thing.
Human beings are much the same as
chickens.
Each one wants to grab as much as
possible Of everything in sight and let
the other fellow be content with what
is left.
We are eternally emitting roars Of
protest over the continued high prices.
But we are like nations that advocate
disarmament-we wait for the other
fellow to step down first.
Everybody admits that something
must be done, but nobody feels that he
is the one to do it,
We are inconsistent and illogical, bnt
no worse than the rest Of the world.
AS an illustration of the truth of this
statement, how many of you are willing
to admit that our remarks are true in
sofar as other people are concerned,
but that yon cannot see where they ap-
ply to you?
But cheer up-let your virtuous in
dignation cool off and ooze out. Per-
haps the editor is as deep in the mud
as you are in the mire, for we frankly
own to a hankering for more than we
get.
This ailment is not confined to Amer
leans alone. The whole human race is
afflicted with it. II began when Adam
plucked the forbidden fruit, and has
been growing upon us ever since. II
will end only when human life ceases
to exist.
Everybody knows it, and many ad-
NIT it,
Truth is stranger than fiction, some
times, and life is the greatest story OF
all.
That's what ails us.

BETTER SCHOOL WEEK

Supt. T. E. johnson of the state De.
partment of Public Instruction has pro-
claimed the week beginning February
13, Better School Week. Word comes
that material for distribution regarding
the same is on the way, but no printed
matter of any kind has yet arrived to
state the plan of organization or place
emphasis. With the United States
ninth as an educational nation, surely
emphasis of some kind, perhaps every
kind is needed.
Mr.. johnson requests the schools be
given the cooperation during that
week of ladies' clubs, farmers clubs,
lunch climbs, and lodges of all orders.
The school should be the topic of every
program given during that week, what
the school is and what it should be,
what the school hopes to be, and how
it may attain its ideal All clergymen
in the state of Michigan are urged to
speak on Sunday the 18th on education
al needs, local, national, optional, and
legislative.
Mr. Johnson's circular letter on Bet
ter School Week was dated Jan. 81.
His prinred material is still en- route
and the time for working up a cam
paign is very limited. II noisy cam
paign does not, therefore materialize,
remember that Charlevoix County has
Better School Week every week, and
that we carry with us througout the
year "Better School" slogan. Never
theless we wish to cooperate with the
rest Of the state and every interested
person should use his influence during
that week to place educational work in
the foreground.

Wanted!
Six Aldermen
r@Charter Amendment Calls for
the Above Number.

Since publishing the article last week
under the caption "Wanted Four
Aldermen" it has developed that the
Charter Amendments adopted last
spring by a vote of 205 to SO, is some
what faulty in that it makes no proper
provisions for an equal representation
from the three wards on the Council.
The purpose of the amendments are
clear enough-"All powers conferred
on the city 80 shall be exercised by
the mayor and six aldermen"
The chief trouble lies in paragraph
g. The Herald is no supreme court,
Yout we believe the part relative to the
1921 election is merely advisory, and
that, il our citizens so desire, the mat
ter of having an equal representation
from all three wards during the coming
year can be arranged.
One very erroneous impression in
some quarters seems to be that the
aldermen are TO be elected at large.
That is not the fact. The aldermen
must be residents OF, and elected by
the voters of gwen ward. Even the
primary petitions MUST be signed by
voters of the ward in which the candi-
date for alderman resides.
AS the Amendments" are in for a
thorough discussion among our citi-
zens, we herewith re-publish them in
their entirety.
