NEWBERRY RESIGNS

T. H. Newberry of Michigan has
rendered his resignation as United
States senator. He was wise
enough to see what would have
been his fate had he attempted to
hold onto his office, after the new
u. S. senate met. The biggest and
hardest thing the Republicans had
to face in the recent campaign was
a defense of Newberry. While ev-
erything within their power was
done to keep down tNewberryism"
as an issue, it would bob up like a
snake in the grass. Even the coat
of whitewash applied by Secretary
of State Hughes, apparently had no
effect. In no place in the nation
did the voters render him more
decisive rebuke than in his own
state of Michigan where Newberry's
colleague, Senator Townsend, was
defeated-the first time Republi-
can had been defeated in that state
for senator in the past 70 years.
Michigan proved itself made up Of
voters whose patriotism was not
inferior TO their partisanship. They
showed in repudiating Newberry,
that they desire clean leadership in
the U. S. senate, clean politics and
clean elections. Had he not been
guilty of the crime of which he was
charged, that of violating the cleo
tion laws, in mis- race against Hen
ry Ford for the Z. S. senate. we be-
lieve he would never have resigned.
While his action involves re-
treat under fire, and disgrace, his
retirement will 90 far toward the
betterment Of the reputation of the
United States senate.

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE

While several attempts have
been made toward securing a pub
Tic health nurse for Morgan county,
all have failed thus far. However,
now the Morgan County Chapter of
the Red Cross has taken it up. and
is to see to it that we as a county
are to have public nurse for the
coming year. While the Red Cross
has done much in this county, in
eluding the looking after Of ex-ser-
vice men in many ways, this matter
Of securing nurse is the biggest
thing the local chapter has under
taken since the war. 1t is, we be-
neve, one Of the most commendable
acts that this great humanitarian
organization, in this county, has
taken upon itself. The very corner
stone of the organization is to re-
heVe suffering-to be a mother
'the greatest Of them ALL" And in
what better manner can it's princi-
PIES be carried out than through a
nurse? With ordinary conditions
we have not enough doctors in the
county to look after the sick Let
an epidemic come, and medical at
tention is serious proposition tc
ANce. A public health nurse, tc
work in conjunction with our doc
tArs, would indeed be a godsend

Ladies of the New Era club have
been canvassing for subscriptions
for the Simpson library. The donor
of this library has let it be known
that if sufficient funds can be rails
er or pledged to run the library for
two years he will erect and equip
for the community a fine new Ii
brary building at an outlay to him
self of many thousand dollars. 1t
would appear that he is going on
the theory of not helping others,
unless they will show a disposition
to help themselves. Since the Ii
brary was established here over
two years ago, it has proved to be
of great service-even more so
than was thought of when it was
opened. 1t has proved to be of
great worth not only to the schools,
but to the reading public as we'll
1t is common expression, What
would we do now without the Ii
brary." Were it expected of us to
keep it up indefinitely, by popular
subscription, the library would
hardly under such circumstances
survive But it seems that we have
the assurance that if we show our
real appreciation through little
sacrifice, Mr.. Simpson will make its
future secure This community
cannot afford to let the opportunity

War Savings Certificates

War Savings Certificates, series
of 1918. will mature Jan. /, 1923.
and will be payable after that date
at $5 for each stamp affixed. Dur
ing 1918 Ohio led all other states
in the sale of 'the worlds best in
vestment,' and Morgan county
alone purchased stamps amounting
to $4S3,625 Now the government
is hoping that many holders of
these stamps will exchange them at
their post offices for T. S. Treas
ury Savings Certificates During
the past five years War Savings
Stamps and Treasury Savings Ger
tificates have been the only securi-
ties in the world to increase regu-
larly in value from month to month
and the government assures its cit
iZens that the Treasury Certificates
will increase in similar manner
during the next five years. The
present purchasing prices are: $500
for a certificate the matured value
of which will be $1,000; $50 for
800 certificate, and $20.50 for
$25 certificate
AT any time now, since the 18th
of November, owners of 1918 War
Stamps may exchange them at ma,
turity value for Treasury Savings
Certificates, to be dated Jan. ]
1923, with the difference either
way to be paid in cash, or they MAJ
apply for full cash payment to bC
made at maturity. All registered
ones must be handled at the pos
office of registration.
Postmistress Mrs. Birch urgentI
requests owners who desire ey
change now or payment promptly a
maturity, to present their War Sav
ings Certificates for that purpose a
the earliest possible date. Owner
are kindly asked to not ask the pos
office to adjust them during the
week of Dec. 1925. because of the
rush and congestion which always
attend the Christmas season anG
which will be even more difficult to
handle this year, because Of the in
crease in business, and inadequacy
of needed room in the post office
