That is the Office Of county treasurer.
Since the adjustment of the town col

along this line than is Bob" Smith

He has had the benefit of experience

started little investigation which has
resulted in their finding that it has
about as much chance of making good

The following is taken from let.

and why they should endeavor to sun.
port local banks and industries in,
stead Of trying to beat the other fel.
lows game in New York. At the
present time the local chamber is
maintaining a special service for tn
protection of investors, and it would
be well before people who are solic-
tied by stock statesmen from out OF
town that they ask them if they have
received the Endorsement OF the Chan.

Following this same idea in
smaller way, the local secretary sug-
sested that when people solicit funds
or clothing, try to sell advertising or
peddle merchandise for them to be
asked to show their license permit or
permission card from the Chamber Of ,
Commerce.

1854 BARRELS OF

USED ON CO. ROADS
ALLOTMENT FOR LA SALE GIVES
FAIR IDEA OF AMOUNT OF

TENDS DOING ON LA SALE
COUNTY HIGHWAYS.

A road building program calling
for - construction Of 1000 miles Of
ard roads during 1922, and the use
of 100000 barrels OF cement has
been announced by Governor Small
and officials of the state highway Do
partment.
La Sale county's share OF the hard
road program may be judged from
the estimate Of the state engineers,
who assert that this county will need
1854 barrels of cement.
In the construction Of cement high.
ways OF the width of eighteen feet en-
gineers and contractors approximate
the amount of cement to be used per
mile at $500 barrels. This quantity
may, and undoubtedly will vary from
that amount dependent upon the gen.
eral conditions and the number and
character of culverts and small
bridges To be built. From the allOt.
ment to La Sale county it seems very
evident that the state proposes to
build only the connecting link be.
tween Ottawa and Slrcator, or a dis.
lance of about ten or eleven miles.
Contracts for road building in La
Sale county and other parts Of the
state may be let within the next
month. A contract for the purchase
of G0O.O 900 barrels of cement has been
let by the state to the Marquette Port.

RARE TREAT COMING

A rich, rare treat awaits Berea
next Monday night at 1880 in the
College Chapel, when Edwin NJ. Whit
ney will appear in the first lyceum
number for the season. Mr.. Whitney
is probably in the forefront rank
among the great readers and dra-
matte interpreters. His genius con-
sists in an unequalled ability to make
the great characters of literature live
before his audience-to bring his
hearers into a personal acquaintance,
as it were, with the towering figures
of modern drama. Altogether, his
work is most wholesome and charm
ing.
His subject Monday night will be
"The Tailor Made Man, where his
art finds adequate expression. 1t is
the story of the success Of John Paul
Bart, the tailor's helper, a young
man who feels that in order to bet.
ter himself in the way of mental
equipment he must take advantage
of every opportunity when it comes
as it does to every man. Bart
seizes his opportunities, and they are
many and varied, and of course wins
his great dream. Just how carnot
be told here. Suffice to say, the play
is complete with delicious humor
which occasionally borders on hi
larity. The message is powerfully
convincing, and of particular and
timely value to young people.
