Big Drain is
Nearly Completed

The East Superior street sewer, or
drain, which is about 2,200 feet long
and is constructed of sixteen inch tile
has been almost completed, and when
finished promises to be a big benefit
to a large territory in the eastern
part Of the city in drawing the sur
face water from the pavement on
East Superior, and also from the land
to the south as far as Eastward
street.
1t is planned to have this sewer
drain not only the pavement on the
state trunk line road on that street,
but also the territory between Re-
public avenue and the county drain
to the east, and from Superior street
south to Eastward.
The drain is really city and state
drain, in which both the state high
way department and the city are i'm
terested.

OPEN CRUSADE
ON PEDDLE Rs
ALUMINIUM WARE ORDER SOLIC-
ITOR FIRST TO BE ARRESTED
IN THE CRUSADE.

What is expected to be the opening
gun in a campaign against peddlers
and hawkers in this city, was evident
ly fired yesterday when Leo b.
Wright, said to be from Pontiac, was
arrested by local officers for viola
tion of the peddlers and hawkers' or
dinance.
Wright, who is a young man, and
is said to have the intention of enter
ing some college this fall, is said to
have been taking orders for a certain
brand of aluminium ware in Alma for
some days. The ware is said to be
manufactured by a Pennsylvania con-
Germ.
The matter was placed before VIM.
A. Bahlke, city attorney, who ex-
pressed the opinion that the young
man was subject to a license in his
work in Alma.
The license was not procured and
Wright was arrested, Wednesday
morning.
When arraigned before William II.
Rogers, justice OF the peace, Wright
demanded hearing, which has been
set for August 1.
Pending the hearing the young man
was released on his own cognizance,
but was warned by the court that it
would not be advisable to continue
taking orders for aluminium ware
pending his hearing.

Private Leslie Mclean

was in France, with Company G, 38th
Infantry.
At the Battle Of the Marne on July
- young Leslie was wounded across
both legs. Notice Of his wounds was
received by his mother. Later word
came that he had died. Still another
report came that he was wounded and
an a hospital, and still later word
again came that he had died.
Early in the present year some one
posing as Leslie sent a telegram from
New York to the effect that he had
arrived in that city and would come
home as soon as he received funds
with which to travel, from his moth
er. This was chased down and found
TO be a fraud.
Inquiry in the American Legion
magazine for information relative TO
Leslie brought word Of his last days
to his mother early in the present
year. Corporal Orman Egleston,
Company G, 13Sth Infantry, who now
lives in Oswego county, New York,
wrote to Mrs Mclean and told her Of
her sons final days.
He stated that Leslie was wounded
across both legs on July Is, 1918, and
was placed in the cellar Of hotel in
Mezy, little village in France. Other
wounded were placed there, including
Corporal Egleston. Shortly thereafter
an officer called to the men and said
that all who could walk must leave
as the Germans were surrounding the
men and they must drop back, but

CtTCHES A RARE ONE

President II. NJ Crooks Of Alma
College, in speaking about the fishing
trip that he and f. w. Ruggles and
Ezra Smith, recently enjoyed near
Sault Ste. Marie, said that Mr.. Rug
giles was fortunate enough to catch
a very rare fish on the trip. 1t was
a horbot or linge, which is some
times known as a fresh water cod.
DR.. Crooks says that the fish weighed
five pounds, and that native experts
in that vicinity claim that it had been
35 years since they had seen a linge
caught. Readers should remember
that this fish was linge. This is not
a cod"

FEATURES FOR
GRAT|OT FAIR
INDICATIONS ARE THAT FAIR
THIS YEAR WILL EXCEED
ANY HELD IN PAST.

Arrangements for the annual Gra-
tiot County Fair, which have been al
most completed indicate that the fair
this year will be by far the best that
has ever been held at Ithaca, the
feature events being very much out
of the ordinary.
The fair is to be held Tuesday and
Wednesday, August 30 and 81, and
Thursday and Friday, September
and 2. Wednesday, the second day,
will be known as childrens day and
will see special efforts made to inter-
est and amuse the children of the
county.
Races will be held on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, and with Van
Buskirk and Altenburg lining up the
horses that will compete, some fine
matches can be looked for by lovers
of the sport. w. w. Cushing of Alma
is to handle the Indicator at the races.
Out of the ordinary will be the fea-
ture fireworks display by the Duffield
Company of Chicago. The display
''The Siege of the Dardanelles," is in
class by itself. 1t will be the finest
display of fireworks that has ever
been seen in Gratiot.
Results of the girls and boys calf
and pig clubs in the county will be
seen at the fair. Exhibits from the
various clubs will be shown. The ex-
hibit promises to be an exceptionally
good one and should aid in fostering
the calf and pig club movement in the
county.
The usual exhibits will be held The
exhibit of cattle, sheep and hogs, this
year, will surpass that of previous
years and should prove a highly in
teresting part of the fair for the
farmers of the county.
The Amsden Chamber of Commerce
Band of Saginaw will furnish the mu.
sic at the fair. Each night the Ans.
den orchestra will furnish music al
the armory for dance.

When love has bound the heart,
IT'S hard, so hard to speak the words
eve must forever part"
Dearest loved one we must lay the
In the peaceful graves embrace
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face!

their dear old aunt, Mrs. Delphia

She had been a great sufferer for
great many years but had been on
iy confined to her bed for the past
three months, and all that loving
hands and physicians could do was
done to relieve her. But after great
suffering she fell quietly asleep and
is now at rest.
She bore her Affections with Chris
tian fortitude and patience and was
submissive to her Masters will. She
always appreciated so highly any
kindness shown her that it was a
pleasure to do anything for her com
fort. She met death calmly and with
out fear, and said she was ready to
go and she has now entered her place
forever in the choir invisible. May
we all be as ready to go as we believe
Aunt Delphia was to meet the great
Judge of all earth, clad by penitent
faith in the righteousness of the Re-
deemer she loved so well.
She has been member of the
Methodistc hurch "a number of years
and died in that faith.
She is survived by two sisters, Mrs.
V. V. Horn, of Marietta, and Mrs. S.

Birmingham Backing
 the Ford Offer

T7T1 HE Birmingham Chamber of Commerce is undertaking to help the Tennessee River associa- ton in its effort to obtain the lease of Muscle Shoals for Henry Ford because it regards this project as of statewide importance. There is no other viewpoint worthy of a people who have long ago risen above neighborhood jealousies.
 Birmingham will share whatever prosperity comes to Florence, Shelf field and Tuscumbia, just as Bir- mingham itself owes it's origin largely to the capital that citizens of Montgomery invested here. Bir- mingham will directly benefit by any development at Muscle Shoals because it is a manufacturer of raw materials that will naturally be called for by industries established there.
 Water power developed at Muscle Shoals can be as easily conveyed to Birmingham as power generated on the Warrior river hard by Bir- lningham is now conveyed to Muscle Shoals by ninety miles of trans mission lines.
 Developmet of navigation on the Tennessee river means an outlet for Birmingham iron and that made by a large Birmingham interest at Sheffield and Florence to the middle west by an all-water route.
 This city is reaching out to it's neighbors as it has not done before. It has realigned freight rates that enable business to be done with it's neighbors. It wants them to trade here and it intends to stand by them when opportunity knocks at their doors.
 We can make great happy fam fly here in Alabama if we but realize that what is good for one is good for all.

Alabama Youth Again
 Headed Schoolward

6N HERE will be a larger enroll
 J ment in the schools and col leges of Alabama this year than ever before, and better equipment.
 To the credit of Alabamians it can be said with truth that, while not all that should be done has been accomplished, these latter years have been ennobled by their gen erous contributions to the cause of education. With remarkable single-inindedness they have voted extra taxes that their children might have advantages denied them.
 We have gotten away from much of that spirit which would deny the higher institutions of learning the means necessary for them to accomplish their mission and there will be less and less of it from now on as the alumni of these institu- tions achieve their places of in- fluence in affairs and demand that the advantages which they were ac. corded be open to all the young men and women of the state.
