PINE AVENUE
WORK SOON To
Be COMPLETED
STEEL BRIDGING Is HERE AND
WORK CAN NOW BE RUSHED
RAPIDLY.
VIII Widen the
NdrrOlU Outlet

The paving on Pine avenue is be-
ing rushed rapidly and work OH the
new abutments, which will support
the bridge that is to straighten out
Pine at the intersection Of Superior
street and thus make far less dan
gerous corner, has been put under
way. Unless there is very decided
change in the weather there is little
question but that both pieces of work
will be completed this fall.
The new abutments of concrete at
the edge Of the race, which will sup
port the steel work of the new bridg-
ing, are being poured tins week. The
steel for the work, which was ordered
some weeks ago, and on which poor
delivery was secured, arrived here on
Monday and is ready for use as soon
as the abutments have dried suffi-
GENTLY to support it. After the
steel framework has been put in
place, the entire bridging will be COW
cred with concrete, and the hereto
fore narrow outlet on Pine, which has
long been considered one Of the most
dangerous corners in the city as re-
CARDS traffic, will have been done
away with, as the bridging over of
the race at this point will make the
outlet on Superior street Of sufficient
width to do away with a bad corner.
The paving on Pine has now been
laid in the block between Walnut and
Downie and is being poured in the
half block, south from Downie. The
half block from Superior north may
possibly be held up for short time
until the bridging frames are put in
place, so that the entire width of the
street may be paved at one time.

To OPEN THE RED
CROSS ROLL CALL
ARMISTICE DAY WILL SEE THE
ANNUAL ROLL CALL PUT
UNDER WAY.

The Red Cross Roll Call, opening
Armistice Day, November II, and
continuing to Thanksgiving Day,
brings to the people Of this commun-
ity their annual opportunity to renew
allegiance to the American Red Cross.
By enrolling during this period as
a member, or renewing your member
ship if you enrolled last year, you can
do our part in making possible the
continuance and expansion of the
service of humanity that has become
synonymous with the name and en-
blem Of the Red Cross.
What the American Red Cross as
national organization has achieved
in the past and is continuing is a
matter of record craven deeply in the
hearts Of all who love their fellow
men. Drawing no line of color, race
or creed, and with the world its field,
it carries succor to the helpless wher-
ever they may be.
The following message has been re-
ceived from the National Convention
recently held at Washington, ID. c.:
"Work for disabled veterans is the
first duty Of the American Red Cross.

Business Address

Mr.. f. C. O'Meara of Grand Rapids
gave an address before the st. Louis
Board of Trade at the noon luncheon
last Friday which contained much
food for thought. We reproduce it
for Record readers:
| would like it very much if you
would take a godd look at me at this
time because | may want to be iden-
titled at the end of this meeting.
There is just one thing that /
want to say right here that may be
Of some benefit to you and / con-
strain to remark that there is a
great deal of unhappiness and a
great deal of misunderstanding and
sometimes a great deal of loss of
business because of the natural ten
dency among men to be suspicious
of one another and the fact of the
matter is that it seems to be a luxury
to be suspicious Of one another.
Listen, young fellows, now / am
not saying that this has anything
to do with this present company of
men, but, being as you are, good
looking, honorable and upright, they
are not as good as you in your own
opinion and consequently you are
prone to be suspicious, but brothers
let me say word to you.
We have recently, as you well
know, passed through as strenuous
business depression as the majority
of us ever anticipated going through
But / believe that at the basis of il
all is the fact that each of us sets
forth to grab in his share Of the rich
harvest without thought Of the other
fellows rights. We have gone so fan
that we are suspicious of our own
brother.
Before | go any further | want to
say to you gentlemen that business in
the real meaning of the word is hu-
man relationship, and therefore,
just want to prove this by showing
you where Business began and l alsC
want to trace this thing called bus
mess back little for you to see jus'
where you stand today.
Business began in the early dawr
of Creation and when the great Ar
chitect of the Universe had finished
He crowned His work by creating
Man. He then gave man full charg,
of this entire Universe and It's full
ness, but, he placed a condition OF
the power of Control of this Uni
verse and | want TO say this to you
There still rules a God today in spit
of what any man may say. 1t is still
the same Universe that he created
Each man is placed here that he ma.
study the fullness of this earth an,
what he can do TO earn his way an,
TO study in what way he can max
the other mans life easier and bette
and he is to be paid in proportion {
the work done.
Now let me say something fur
ther to you; namely. that Bushes
is not just something that gives
man license to use his knowledge :

TOWNSEND WAS
SPEAKER HERE
At BIC MEET
SENATOR, FORDNEY, AND DE-
LAND SPOKE IN ST. LOUIS,
ALMA AND ITHACA.
Campaign Issues
Put Before Voters

The people of Gratiot Co.. were
given opportunity last Thursday to
hear Senator Townsend and Bird j.
Vincent, Republican nominee for
Congress to succeed Hon. Joseph W.
Fordney. Addresses were given in
Ithaca, st. Louis, and Alma. The
people from the surrounding town
ships were invited to attend at the
most convenient point and there was
a large attendance at each Of the
three meetings held in the county.
Secretary of State Chas. j. Deland,
accompanied the party and discussed
state issues.
The meeting at Alma was held
in the evening at the high schoo
auditorium and was largely attended
by voters who came to hear the is
sues Of the campaign discussed. Sec
retary Of State, Deland, was the first
speaker and he held the closest at
tention of his audience with a de
tailed account of the expenditures in
the state of Michigan during the
present administration and explain
ed in full detail the working of the
new administrative board showing
that a very decided saving had been
made by use of the budget system
and by putting the expenditure Of
money into the hands of one commit
tee instead of having it in multiple
ity Of committees as has been the
case under the old system. Mr.. De-
land quoted figures from the depart
ment of state and the auditor gen
erals department which showed con-
clusively that the actual operating
expense of the state had been reduc-
ed and at the same time called at
tention to the fact that the war debt,
the soldiers bonus, and the fifty mil
lion appropriated for roads had nee
cessarily increased the tax rate in
the state.
Senator Chas. Townsend was the
next speaker and he discussed mat
ters of national interest and import
ance. He called attention to the
fact that the interest on our nation
al DEBT at present is about as much
as the entire national debt was be-
fore the great war, and discussed
quite in detail the expenditures Incl
Gent to the war and the necessity for
raising large sums of money in order
TO pay the debt which came to us
as a result of the war and especially
as a result of the great and needless
waste connected with the conduct of
the war.
Senator Townsend called attention
to the fact that it is very easy to
criticize but a much more difficult
matter to reconstruct our economic
conditions after they have been en-
tirely upset and thrown out of bal
ance by such an event as the war. He
also discussed the new Great Lakes
to Ocean Waterway Project, and ex-
planned fully what it would mean to
Michigan and the other central states
should they be enabled to ship their
products direct to foreign countries
by water without several transfers

Under-Sherif Earl
WiILert GiUeS Ideas
of Sherif'S Duties

In a primary election open to all
who cared to enter, | was selected as
the candidate of the Republican
party for sheriff of Gratiot. At this
primary l received 1893 votes to my
nearest competitor 637.
/. AS candidate for sheriff, | am
asking the support of all who want
to see the constitution and laws Of
the United States and the State Of
Michigan enforced in reference to
the making, transportation and sale
Of liqour.
g OF all those who want to see all
other laws enforced.
3. OF all those who believe in a
straight forward impartial admins
tration of all laws without fear, ia
vor or political figuring.
4. OF all who believe in an eco
nomcal administration of this office
and in making this office as far as
possible Self-sustaining or better.
5. OF all who believe that the pres
ent administration has made a good
record and carried out the things
stated above which we believe a
sheriff is in duty bound to do.
AS proof of this statement, | pub
lish below a statement taken from
the county clerks books, which can
be verified by any one who cares to
go to the office:
Sheriff's Office Self-Supporting
The question is often asked, "How
much is it costing the people of Grat-
lot county to run the sheriff's Of
fice?" The following statement
shows that not only is it not costing
A CENT, but that it brought into
the county treasury during the last
year, to July 1, 1922, SS1S.92 more
than it cost to run the office and
there were 81 convictions for states
prison offenses, while during cor
responding period, ten years ago, il
COST the county $4,722.99 MORE
than the county received from fines
with only states prison convictions
Below is a detailed statement OF
work done, convictions secured
amounts paid to sheriffs and depu-
ties, and money turned into the Coun.
ty Treasury for the two periods OF
one year each, from July 1st, 1911
to July 1, 1912, and from July 1, 1921
