Raises Free Flowers
For the Needy Sick

Muskegon. Mich. Oct ia. p.
by MaiD-Believing that the great
est service any person can give to
his fellow man is that of spreading
cheer and happiness, A. H. Allen,
the largest producer of gladioli in
western Michigan. has consecrated
his life to the raising of flowers for
free distributions to hospitals, chart
table institutions and public build
ings in order that he may extend his
message of human kindness to all
who look upon his offerings.
About Is years ago Mr.. Allen be-
came imbued with the idea Of serv-
ing humanity. Always a lover OF
flowers, he decided to use them as
his medium for showing his love for
others.
The Allen farm has II acres de-
voted to the culture of gladioli.
During the Towering season the
tract is riot of every color and color
combination conceivable. In all there
are 81 varieties of this popular
flower, each with its distinctive COL
oring and it's own characteristics.
Mr.. Allen, during the Towering
season. comes down town each day
with a supply of blossoms, makes
his rounds. and leaves bouquets at
the hospitals and in other places
where he believes they will be ap-
preciated.
1.-THE sight Of flowers Is the great
est tonic for persons who are i'll or
discouraged that the world ever has
produced" Mr.. Allen said. IT have
proof that flowers do speak a
language of gladness. Every morning
when l come into Muskegon with an
armful of flowers strangers speak to
me on the street. After l have de-
livered the blossoms and am empty
handed no one paws any attention to
me. IT was the flowers that the
strangers spoke to before"
On the Allen farm this year are

IS FOUND
GUILTY DRIVING CAR
WHILE INTOXICATED

1t was the old story of drinking
Intoxicating liquor and then driving
an automobile that was brought out
in the testimony at the Augusta
municipal court at a hearing late
Wednesday afternoon, and as the re-
suit, Wilfred Leclair of this city was
found guilty and was sentenced to
serve three months in jail. From
this sentence. Leclair took an appeal
and furnished bonds in the sum of
$3.50 for his appearance a the Janu-
airy term of the Kennebec County
superior court
The case resulted from the auto
mobile collision Tuesday evening at
the junction of Mt. Vernon avenue
and the road leading to Royal Park,
where the car owned by the Wesser-
unsett Garage and operated by Ellis
Jones, and the car owned by Mr.. Le-
clair came together. Leclair sns-
tanned minor injuries in the accident
and his auto was badly wrecked.
Lcclair pleaded not guilty to the
charge. but was not represented by
counsel.
The first witness was Deputy
Marshal G. S. Witham, who said
that he had sent Police Officer Le-
dent and the officer had returned
with Wilfred Leclair, who was under
the influence of Intoxicating liquor.
He testified that Leclair had admit
ted that he drove the car into
Royal Park. some time previous to
the accident.
Police Officer Letendre testified
that Wilfred Leclair, had told him
he had driven the car into Royal
Park, but that his brother, Omar Le
clair was driving at the time the
collision occurred. He further teSti
fed that Omar Leclair had told him
that Wilfred was operating the car
when the accident occurred. Later,
Omar had said that he himself was
driving. according to the officers
testimony.
Mr.. Jones who was driving the
other car, said that Wilfred Leclair
had the appearance as if he had been
drinking. He and Edward Butler
testified that after the accident they
had taken Wilfred Leclair out from
under the steering wheel of his car.
In defense. the respondent testi-
fed that he had not been drinking
when he was running the car, that
his brother was driving the car, and
that he did not remember telling the
officer that he had driven into Royal
Park. He said that he had drink
before he went into Royal Park. He
said that he did not drive at all.
Omar Leclair testified that he was
the one who was operating the auto
mobile, and that after the accident
his brother, Wilfred. slipped under
