NEW YORK, April 1.-Whatever
the settlement of the coal strike may
be, the effect Of the cessation OF work
today will not become apparent on
American industrial and business life
for q time at least. It Is, Of course,
impossible to remove several hundred
thousand men from a basic industry
without having an effect upon pus'-
ness. Scores Of communities are de-
pendent to some extent ON the buying

buying power will be curtailed IN ~.

MALARIA WAR
ADVISES STEPS BE TAKEN TO
DESTROY BREEDING PLACES
OF MOSQUITOES.

Lansing, August 3;-A fight to
prevent an increase Of malaria which
attacked more than $50 persons in
Michigan last year has been institdt-
ed by DR.. r. M. Olin, state health
commissioner. 1t is feared that the
dreaded ancpheles mosquito, the fe-
male Of which is the only medium
transferring the malaria parasite,
has survived the comparatively mild
winter and will appear in large num-
berc again this year. DR.. Olin ad-
vises that immediate steps be taken
to destroy breeding places.
The anopheles mosquito is most
conspicuous during August. Thus
far two cases of malaria have been
reported to the health department
laboratory. The mosquito transfers
the malaria parasite from infected
persons to healthy individuals and
according to authorities can spread
many cases in day.
Last year an epidemic which was
first discovered in Saginaw was
spread to several counties. 1nvesti-
cation by health department repre-
seatatives revealed that many of the
cases were contracted from one hav-

On Saturday, July 29, 1922 the

Wright Park, in this city and people
from many places gathered to renew
old acquaintances and enjoy another
good feed. Sixty-five Hydes or Hyde
relatives gathered together with we'll

loud protest at being laden so heav-
ily with good things to satisfy the ap-
petite However, everyone had rath-

were soon relieved of their burdens.
Four new Hydes were invited to
join the large family and meet with
others from year to year. They were
Mr.. and Mrs. Dennis Hyde and Mr..

unable to attend.
Four generations of one family were
represented. They were Mrs. Emma

Late in the afternoon a short bus
mess meeting was held to elect new
officers, but motions were made to

STRAND THEATRE

The Strand Theatre promises an
unusual treat for followers Of the
silent drama in its offering, "The
Silent CALL" the II. o. Davis presen-
tation Of the Laurence Trimble-Jane
Murfin production, which will be
shown at the theatre, Sunday and
Monday, Aug.13 and IA.
Three factors stand out prominent
ly to give this picture its unusual ap-
peal. One is the beautiful outdoor
scenery, all the scenes having been
taken in the High Sierras of North
ern California. ,a- e4
Another is the story, unique for its
quick action and rapid succession OF
climsxes. 1t was filmed from Hal C
Evarts' "The Cross Pull" which ran
in The Saturday Evening. Post. The
story has its locale in the far West
and centers around the riyalty of two
men for leadership in their settle
ment and favor at the hands. Of the
girl both covet.
The third feature in the introduc-
tion of Strongheart, Belgian police
dog, as star on the American
screen. This canine, who was
brought to the country by Miss Muir
fin for the special purpose Of play
ing in "The Silent CALL" is said to
display remarkable acting ability
and intelligence. He is said to be the
first dog to hold starring part on
the American screen and his emf
nence in this respect is said to have
been due entirely to his capability in
measuring up to the role.
For this production which Laur'
ence Trimble directed and for which
Miss Murfin made the adaptation q
notable cast has been collected. The
names include: John Bowers, Kath.
ryn MCGUIRE, William j. Dyer, James
Mason, Nelson Mcdowell, E. j. Brady
and Robert Bolder.

livestock Breeders
@i To Picnic at Ithaca

Plans are practically complete for
the largest get-together Of livestock
men ever held in Gratiot county on
Tuesday, August Sth, at Woodland
Park, Ithaca. At that time the Live
Stock Breders' Picnic will be held.
Every person with their families and
friends who likes good livestock,
whether it be cattle, horses, sheep,
swine or poultry, will find this picnic
one that is beinS put on for their
special interest, and one that will be
long remembered.
The speaking program which will
start at 1880 p. m. is one which not
only livestock men but others will
find very interesting as the following
list of speakers will indicate.
Mr.. A. V. Freeman, Animal Hus-
bandry man from M. A. c., will talk
on general livestock problems.
Prof. H. f. Dennison, Dairy Hus-
bandry man from M. A. c., will dis
cuss Cow Testing Associations and
Dairying.
Hon. William NJ. Smith, st. Johns,
will discuss National issues relating
to agriculture.
If possible a representative of the
Michigan Livestock exchange will be
secured to present the marketing
program.
The excitement will start at 10. a.
m. Eastern time with livestock
Judging contest. This will be con-
Quoted for the boys and girls under
twenty and will no doubt prove most
interesting to everyone as some OF
the boys and girl Club members are
becoming quite proficient in picking
the winners.
The athletic program will follow
and consist Of sprints and other
stunts which will help develop an ap-
petite for lunch.
1900 to 1880 dinner. Bring the
baskets and enjoy an outdoor picnic
dinner with your friends.
A baseball game will follow the
speaking program and negotiations
are under way to secure a team which
will give all fans a game worth see.

SHOULD FINISH TODAY

The expectation this morning was
that with the force of workmen sub
jected to no delays during the day
the work Of laying the pavement on
Woodwork avenue would be COM
pleted this evening. This morning
only a half block Of paving between
Downie and Superior on this street
remained to be put in.
II is expected that the concrete
mixer will be moved Friday to
Downie street, where pavement is to
be laid on this street between State
and Park. 1t is probable that work
will be started on this street Satur-
day or Monday at the latest. 1t will
be a matter of only about two or
three days to lay the pavement on
this street if there is no delay in
getting cement. 1t will take about
the same length of time to complete
the work on West End street, after
which the firm of Holmes, Crane &
Bartling will be ready to start work
on Pine street, if the tangle into
which the commission was plunged
Tuesday evening can be ironed out
in time. If not the Alma firm will
take It's machinery to Chesaning
and start work on contract that it
has in that city, which might cause
a hold up on the Pine street paving

Parker on 200
0t Post Office

Tuesday morning Frank O. Parker
became Alma's postmaster i'm fact as
well as in name, he having been con
firmed by the u. S. Senate somewhat
over a month ago. That morning
Parker walked into the post office,
not for the mail from the First State
Banks box as has been his custom
for some years, but to begin giving
the orders that he will issue for the
coming four year period.
When Parker walked into the pri-
vate office Of the postmaster he was
greeted with few burches of pretty
posies that some of his friends had
left on the desk earlier in the morn
ing. He had always associated flow
ers with marriages and other momen-
tous events and it is very possible
that they reminded him that he was
taking another very important step
in life in becoming a public servant
under sway of Uncle Sam.
During the day numerous friends,
with stamps to buy or mail to secure,
stopped long enough to greet the new
P. M. and after extending best wishes
on the new job, started him on the
way with a few CHEEKY words.
- Mr.. Parker was. the choice for
postmaster from six contestants for
the office, and his past experience of
nearly decade in the post office, and
his five years Of experience at the
First State Bank, have fitted him
we'll for the work. t-.
With the entry of Parker into the
post office Tuesday as postmaster of
a first class post office, as the one
here now is, Ezra l.. Smith, who has
been guiding the destinies of the Of
flee since January as acting post
mester, retired to private life. He
was appointed acting postmaster
when V. p. Cash resigned at that
time. Mr.. Smith will continue his
connection with the Ruggles Motor
Truck Company of Saginaw, with
which he has been associated since
the concern was organized. He eX-
poets, however, to continue as resi-
dent of this city, which he has made
his home for years.

At pre-primary convention or

of Gratiot county decided upon the
candidates for which they will circu-
late petitions to get their names on
the primary ballot September II, and
probably have decided on the strong
est people that could be secured as
candidates.
While the attendance was not ex-
tremely large, good number Of re-
presentatives were present from Ith-
aca, st. Louis and Alma and almost
every section of the county was also
represented at the meeting.
Petitions for candidates for every
place on the county ticket will be cir
culated at once, except for coroner, no
one being selected at the meeting for
this place.

or from Washington township, is the

sentative from this county.

largest that has yet attended this

that they are certain of something

said Of the ordinary band concert,
and they are certainly rewarding the
efforts cf the people who are back
Of the enterprise by attending and
giving the entertainments their close
attention. The fact that the crowd
was probably TIE largest that has
yet attended one ofthese events was
surprising in view Of the fact that it
had rainei in the early evening and
the weather continued somewhat

monds of the Salvation Army. The
collection at this service will go to
the Salvation Army.
August l3-Rev. J. w. Horton of

SERIES OF BIBLE LECTURES

Rev. Edward +. Shouf1er, pastor of
the Baptist Church will close his
work with the church here with a
series Of Sunday morning Bible lee
lures during the month of August.
The general theme of the lectures is
'The Christians Bible" Few have
stopped to consider the difficulties,
the length Of time and the varied ex-
periences through which men have
passed who have brought the Bible
within the reach of everyone today.
Rev. Shoufer has spent much time in
the study Of Biblical literature, the
history and origin Of ancient manu-
scripts and the various versions. He
will have something to say concern
ing these things. The invitation to
attend these Sunday morning lectures
is extended to all regardless of de-
nominational affiliation. Next Sun
day morning the first lecture will be
given. Among the topics to be dis
cussed are The World Before the
Bible or The Great Need Of The Great
Book, Human and Divine Elements
in Producing Bible, How We Got
Our Bible, Do We Need Another Rev
elation. There will be special music
for these services.

THE MAN FROM
MICHIGAN Gets
INTO CANT A!GN
LINDQUIST OF MAIL ORDER
FAME HAS PLATFORM USED
A DECADE AGO.
Lash, of SdginaJU
Also O. Candidate

Evidence is now being given that
the congressional race in the eighth
district is to be three cornered af-
fair between William M. Smith Of
St.Johns, Bird j. Vincent Of Saginaw,
and Francis o. Lindquist of Green
Vile, whose announcement was made
in the Grenville Independent last
week.
William Lash Of Saginaw, chair
man of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Enginemen is also
in the fight, but is not seriously
regarded.
Just what complications the entry
of Lindquist will make in the race is
question that political leaders in
the Eighth, regardless Of which of
the other candidates they are back
ing, are concerned with.
Back in the days of the old
"shoestring" district Of which Gra-
tiot and Montcalm counties were a
part, Lindquist went into congress
sional scrap with mail order cam
paign, and completely upset dope
when he copped off the honors and
went to congress. At the last re-
apportionment Lindquist was thrown
into Fordney's district and left out
in the cold-a congressman without a
district-and he was forced TO quit.
He is back in the race again and
again is without the support of the
political leaders Of the various coun-
ties of his district. And "The Man
From Michigan" is back with his
same old pure goods bill with which
he mail-ordered himself to congress
at that time.
Smith supporters, who were first
in the field in getting the political
leaders lined up, continue confident
that the St.Johns man will land the
place. They realize, of course, that
il will be harder to win with Lind
quist in the field, but doubt serious
ly if he can make headway with his
old campaign cry which failed to
show results when he was in congress
before. Vincent supporters are more
hopeful of landing the Saginaw man
since Lindquist made his announce
ment, although they must now face
home fight with William Lash.
From now until the primary on
September II the forces of the three
camps will be pushing their cam
paigns in intensity, Smith and Vim
cent probably out stumping the dis
trict, the former certainly doing
this, and Lindquist staying at home
and in all probability conducting
another of those mail order" cam
paigns.
AS was the case when Lindquist
was a candidate before, he is not re-
garded as a possible winner. He
does not even have any great pclit-
ical support in his home country,
outside of GreenvilIe political lead
ers, and certain it is that the political
leaders in other counties, even if
some remain who are not behind
either Vincent or Smith, will be ex-
tremely loath to get behind the
Greenville man.
While he is not regarded as being
a possible winner the expectation is
that he will force a tighter race be-
tween Smith, who has been the evil
dent choice of political leaders Of
five counties, and Vincent, who car
ries the banner Of Saginaw county
into the congressional race.
