r m ALTO SOLO VOLUME XXXIX LOWELL, MICHIGAN. THURSDAY. AUGUST 20. IS31 NO. 13 LOWELL WOMAN DIES FOLLOWING CRASH OF CARS MRS. BELLE HODGES, 77. SUS- TAINED FRACTURES OF PEL- VIS. ARM AND RIBS IN COL- LISION AT JUNCTION OF US-16 and M-K6. A collision of aulos at the junc- Uon of US-16 and M-66 about 7 o'clock Monday morning resulted in injuries to Mrs. Belle Hodges, age 77, which resulted in her death on Wednesday evening. Mrs. Hodges was in company with Miss Marian Bushnell, a Lowell school teacher, at the tipie of the accident. Miss Bushnell was driving from the south on a re- turn trip from the Alto creamery, and as she was crossing US-10 collided with an east-bound car driven by Robert A. Thompson, of Cascade township. With Mr. Thompson were his father, G. A. Thompson and brother. G. E. Thompson. As the cars collided. Mrs. Hod- ges was thrown into the back seat of the Bushnell car. She was carried into one of the gas stations on the corner and medic- al aid summoned from Lowell, Dr. Altland and Dr. Shepard re- sponding to the call. Prelimin- ary examination revealed Mrs. Hodges had sustained a fracture of the pelvic bone. She was later taken to Blodgett hospital where X-rays showed triple fractures of the pelvic bone, also a r m a n d rib fractures. Later in the day Mrs. Hodges was brought back to Lowell to the home of her son. Clinton Hod- ges, where everything possible was done to alleviate her suffer- ings. Both of the cars involved in the accident were badly wrecked. Miss Bushnell and the three Thompsons miraculously escaped with minor bruises. Mrs. Hodges has been a life- long resident of Vergennes and Lowell and has a wide circle of friends by whom she is held in high esteem. Clyde Collar is a brother. She was the widow of Fred Hodges, a former Vergennes sup- ervisor and prominent in the county 20 years ago. Funeral serviots will be held Friday at 2:3<l p. m., at the Hod- ges home, conducted by Rev. J. H. Westbrook. of Middlevile, a former pastor and neighbor. Burial will take place in the Knim cemetery in Vergennes. Odds and Ends Here and There Paul Kellogg, of Lowell, had two entries in the 7Cth annual Clinton County Fair held at St. Johns last week. "I was in pretty fast company," said Mr. Kellogg, "but at that Jane Peters won fourth place in the 2:25 trot, while Czarina Wilkes finished third in the 2:30 trot." A total of 123 trotters and run- ners were at the St. Johns fair, with time of 2:07. 2:08 and 2:09 recorded during the week. William Cutler, of Lowell also had two entrk'S but did not get in on the winnings. Twelve lower peninsula coun- ties will be open to deer hunting during the coming November. These counties are all in the northeast section of the peninsu- la. They are: Cheboygan. Presque Isle, Otseigo, Montmorency, Al- pena, Kalkaska, Crawford, Osco- da, Alcona. Roscommon, Ogemaw and Iosco. "Alfalfa Bill" Muriy. Govcinoi of Oklahoma, jumpi to fame by shut- ting down oil wetli to prevent over- production and making interstate toll bridges free. JLeclger Cn tries Being a Collection of Var« ioua Topic* of Local and Ganiral InUroat The three fiends who brutally murdered four young people near Ypsilanli last week will be fed, warmed, clothed and entertained for the rest of their natural lives by the taxpayers of Michigan at a cost of upwards of $05,000. The law-abiding people of Michigan should not fail to give their approval and support of the state-wide drive against speak- easies and bootlegging which has been inaugurated by Gov. Bruck- er. Moonshine liquor is with- out doubt the largest contributing factor to delinquency among the youth of Michigan and is also re- sponsible for a great many of the major crimes in the stale. We are glad to report that the action of the Governor is in- dorsed in Kent county by such men as Bartel J. Jonkman, prose- cuting attorney; Fred E. Kelley, sheriff; Hon. Clark E. Higbee. probate judge and many others. The law-abiding citizens;—and they constitute well over 90 per cent of the population—should no longer remain indifferent. FIASCO MARKS LAST SESSION SUPERVISORS CITY SIDE SPRINGS RUSE AF- TER FACING DEFEAT ON DI- VISION AVE., OPENING PRO- JECT-SPECIAL SESSION IS CALLED FOR AUG. 23. Even Uncle Sam's big ditch, the Panama Canal, has been hit by Old Man Depression. Normal toll collections, expected to amount to three or four million dollars, actually total $2,431,433 less than collections for the pre- vious fiscal year. There was a decrease of 656 vessel transits during the intervening twelve month. A woman past three score and ten was in town Saturday, posing as a member of the legion Auxil- iary and begging for "fare to the next town." She is said to have made a business of the petty graft over a wide territory. Sup- ervisor Yeiter passed her on to Grand Rapids where she may go onto Mgr. Welsh's script pay roll. Lody Shear, operator at the Lowell municipal plant, has de- ntbnstrated that we have a great country and climate here. From the seeds of a watermelon which he bought early in the season he has grown melons which are now ripe for eating. Miracle Woman at Strand Sun, - Afon. One of t h e season's best dra- matic offerings comes to the Strand Sunday and Monday with the presentation of the new Bar- bara Stanwyck picture, "The Miracle Woman." The story it- self is one of magnificent beauty and in the hands of an actress with the tempermental quality and histrionic genius of Barbara Stanwyck the title role becomes a flaming portrayal of genuine emo- tions. It is predicted that "The Miracle Woman" will stand head and shoulders above the worth- while pictures of <he year. FVTHER OF DR. SHEPARD TAKEN BY DEATH William H. Shepard, age 71, of Lake Odessa, passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Earl Houghton, of Blanchard, after a lingering illness. He is survived by three other daughters, Mrs. Clara Smith, of Blanchard, Mrs. Bertha Franklin, of Remus, Mrs. Elsie Engerson, of Detroit, by a soft, Dr. B. H! Shepard, of Low- ell, by two sisters and a brother. Funeral aervices were held at Blanchard at 9 o'clock Monday and burial in Lakeside cemetery. Lake Odessa. Now that the Grand Rapids supervisors have failed thus far in their efforts to open North Di- vision avenue, the Herald says lorially that the actions of the ard have become a "sickening." Although divorced from her husband, Mrs. Agnes E. Bennett, 52, will remain in his 11-room Los Angeles home as housekeeper. Until Thursday she was the wife of Albert Austin Bennett. She was his housekeeper before romance came into her life. As a wife she disappointed me," Bennett told the divorce judge, "but 1 like her cooking. Mrs. Bennett will draw alimony of $50 a month while working for her former husband. Of more than 2,000,000,000 spent for advertising last year, more than 40 per cent was spent for newspaper advertising, Dr. How- ard T. Hovde, instructor in mer- chandising and lecturer in adver- tising at the Wharton school of the University of Pennsylvania recently told the afternoon ses- sion of the United States Build- ing and Loan League's annual convention. "Newspaper advertis- ing is still the bulwark of the na- tion's advertising," he said. "It is one of the best media for building and loan advertising. However, we must remember the difference between a skirmish and a cam- paign. A single piece of adver- tising, no matter how skillfully done, is a hazardous venture be- cause it ignores the great effec- tiveness of cumulative power of many pieces and because, in be- ing a single unit, it encourages in- attention by being too complete." Ionia Free Fair Is Greatest Ever The Ionia Free Fair opened Monday and continues all of this week. Those who have visited the fair assert that this year's showing is bigger and better than ever in all departments, including livestock and other exhibits. The entertainments provided are of the highest order—marvel- ous is the word to use in describ- ing them. A number of newspaper men were present last Monday night through courtesy of Fred D. Keis- ter, of the Ionia County News, who handles the publicity—and believe me, Fred knows how to tell the world. Facing defeat on the Division- av. opening project city members of the board of supervisors brought the session to an ubrupt close Thursday afternoon with a ruling by Prosecutor Bartel Jonk- man that the adjourned session opening Wednesday morning was illegal. City members realizing the Di- vision av. project was lost as a two-thirds vote is required to authorize it, asked that the prose- cutor be called in to give an opin- ion on a vital matter. Prosecutor Jonkman ruled that no adjourned session of a former regular session may be held after the date of a subsequent regular session. The adjourned session of June 23 is thereby declared il-l legal as well as the two daysj Aug. 12 and 13. Both sessions | were considered as adjournments from the rogular April 14 session. If all members signed a waiver] on the question of a call for a special session the present meet- ing might be declared legal, the prosecutor stated, but the city' supervisors, peeved over the| way matters had gone, stood as a| man against signing the waiver. They were led by Supervisor j Nicholas Kik, who declared: "We are all through with har-j mony talk now. We will give, you some of your own brand of harmony." Supervisor Walsh Replies In the committee meeting of the whole Gen. John H. Schouten, president of the Association of Commerce, spoke in favor of the N. Division avenue project as a means of developing the north section of the city and adding to the lax rolls of the county and city. Supervisor J. Arthur Whit worth urged co-operation, reading a selection of scripture in his plea. Supervisr Frank Walsh slated his views. He referred sarcastically to the city's sudden desire for harmony and declared the fact was not easily forgotten that rural super- visors had been called "hicks" and "yaps" and that City Manager Welsh had been complimented for {"nicking the county $200,000." He istaled that confronted with the need for utmost economy he could not report to his consti- tuents that he had voted an ad- ditional tax of $1,200 upon them. A call for a special session Aug. 25 has been sent out in order to ratify business transacted June 23 and Aug. 12 and 13. Proposes Retaliation And now comes Hep. Ate Dyk- stra who informs Grand Rapids City officials that the thing for the city to do is to go ahead with the contemplated Division ave., improvements on a 50-50 basis between the city and state, cut- ting out county aid, and making up the difference in the cost to the city by knocking out the county road mill tax when it comes up for a vote at the Octo- ber session of the supervisors. Mr. Dykstra says his plan can be followed because of a bill which he sponsored in the last legisla ture and which became a law. Good Samaritan Act Causes 3-Car Crash Miss Dorothy Morgan, of Low- ell, stopped her car on M-21, near Ada, Monday evening in order to give a pedestrian a ride. As result of her good intentions three cars crashed and one man is now in Detention hospital with a fractured arm. According to Deputy Sheriff Charles Knapp who investigated the matter, Willis Hettler, of St. Johns, driver of a car following Miss Morgan, swerved to avoid crashing into her vehicle and his car struck the pedestrian, Her- bert Hall, 55, who was a runaway from a county home. Two other motor cars following closely be- hind Hettler crashed into Hett- ler's automobile. Their cars were hauled to local garagis for repairs. The occupants of one of the cars, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Conine, of Detroit, were on their home from a camping trip. They spent the night in Recreation park in their tent. WANTS TO HEAR FROM OLD- TIMERS OF 50 YEARS AGO Among the Centennial visitors last week was Peter Van Slyke, of Munnsville, New York, who left Lowell a half century ago. It was his first visit back to the old town. Mr. Van Slyke called at The Ledger office and said he would like to hear from anyone who may have known him in that long ago period. While here Mr. Van Slyke worked in the woolen mill that was operated by Henry aod Ed. Clark, alao in the axe factory that was conducted by Hennon Nash. APPRECIATION The members of the Garden Lore club wish to extend their great appreciation and thanks to Howard Bartlett who gave so much of his time and effort in providing the pine trees for the Centennial flower show. They added much to the beauty of the exhibit. The Garden Lore club also wishes to explain that the list of prize winners, published in last week's ledger, was not complete, as a number of the entries were taken away by the exhibitors be fore the tags had been removed, consequently no record could be made. The club regrets that for this reason the names of all of the prize winners could not be given. Compromise? Yes! But for the County as a Whole Having met defeat at the hands of both the rural supervib- ors and the courts in their attempt to saddle upon the county 40% of the cost of the proposed N. Division project, it will now be in order for the city manager of Grand Rapids, eith- er directly or through his emissarieti on the city commission, to come forward fawningly and in the "interests of harmony" propose a "compromise" to the rural supervisors on the N. Division project. The Ledger has enough confidence in the soundness of the rural supervisors of Kent county to feel that they will not fall for any such proposition should it be presented. There are some thingM that do not permit of compromise and in our humble judgment the N. Division project as spon- sored by City Mgr. Welsh is one of them. Here's a proposition calling for the espenditure of two. thirds of a million dollara, one-half of which sum would have to be paid out on the start for the purchase of ramshac- kle, run-down property, on the sale of which Grand Rapids real estate men would wax fat to the tune of perhaps $75,000 in commissions. Mr. Welsh's claim that the project would prove a great boon to Grand Rapids labor car. hardly be borne out in the light of the above fact. Furthermore, after deducting the thousands of dollars that would have to be spent for cement and other materials to be used, the amount left to go for ac- tual labor would not be worth sneezinx at. The claim that a thousand men would be put to work on this job is ridicu- lous. About two-thirds of them would have to be water boys for the other one-third. The improvement o | N. Di vision avt from an aesthetic stand- point may be a desirable thing for the city of Grand Rapids, but to accomplish it by saddling a goodly portion of the cost on the county at large should not be considered. The Ledger believes in harmony in the board of supervis- ors, but it docs not believe in harmony that has to he piirrh<nsed at such a price as the N. Division ave. project — a project which is not only opposed by rural taxpayers but undoubted- ly by a goodly portion of the rank and file of Grand Rapids taxpayers. To compromise on Division ave. proposition, should such ef- forts be made, would be about as consistent as it would have been for Gen. Lee to propose a "compromise" after he had been licked by Grant. Let city and rural supervisors get together for the good of the county as a whole. This can be accomplished by a little give and take on each side on other matters that are in dis- pute but which are of more vital importance to the county than the N. Division ave. project. $70,000 BRIDGE IS FART OF NEW COUNTY FLAN STATE WILL PAY HALF OF COST OF COOK BRIDGE—2:>- MILE HIGHWAY ACROSS TOWNSHIPS OF LOWELL, CASCADE, PARIS. WYOMING. Welsh Wrong on Mothers' Pensions Charges of City Mgr. George W. Welsh, voiced at Monday night's commission meeting, that rural townships of the county are re- ceiving too large a share of the money paid out by the mothers' pensions department in propor- tion to that received by the city, met with a flat denial Tuesday from Probate Judge ('lark E. Higbee, whose word in mothers' pension matters is final, accord- ing to state law. Judg^ Higbee presented figures to prove that the criticism of the city manager is unfounded," and added that if Mgr. Welsh "would do his thinking in advance of his speaking it would save newspa- per space and have a tendency to promote harmony in official cir- cles." The Judge explained that on the basts of the last five years' experience 70 per cent of the Camilies helped through the mothers' pension department were city residents, the propor- tion being identical with the city's proportion of Kent coun- ty's population, according to the 1930 census. On the basis of August checks alone, he added, 68 per cent of the money distributed went to residents of Grand Rapids. Slight- ly more than 80 per cent of the families, he said, come from the metropolitan area, which has 80 per cent of the county's popula- tion. In the juvenile home, which likewise is a county institution, he continued, all but 4 of the 51 children are from the metropoli- tan area. These four are state wards. College Head has Praise for Pageant Dr. L. H. Murlin. former presi- dent of Boston and De Pauw Universities was greatly pleased with the Centennial pageant, de- claring that the fact that it was conceived and written by a local author, unil that the whole com- munity joined so heartily in car- rying out the program, is a great credit to everyone who took pari in it. It means much, not onlv Juit Folks Now ti The Kent County Road Com- mission has taken over the 3.4 miles of Cook bridge road as a part of the county highway sys- tem. and thereby started work on another unit of an inter-county highway from western Kent county to Portland. The stretch of road in question starts at the Whitneyville road a short distance north of Whitney- vilie and runs straight west to the Bowen-Caledonia road. On it is the Cook bridge over the Thornapple river, an engineer- ing project in which the state is sharing. The bridge is to be a 200-foot structure with two spans, and plans are reported by Otto S.

The village of Lowell is facing one of its hardest problems—that of supplying suflicient electric power to meet the increasing de- mands of local industries and home owners. Difficulties in connection with the problem have been greatly augmented because of the contin- ued dry weather, which has made it impossible to maintain a suffi- cient water head at the new dam. The Deisel engine at the plant in the village is being operated continuously night and day as an auxiliary to the water power plant. When the new dam was com- pleted a year ago it was thought that sulficient water head could be maintained ot supply present and increased future require- ments for a long period of time to come, but the continued drouth is dealing a hard blow to that hope. Industries Expanding The King Milling Co., is adding another 100 hp. motor to take care of its increasing business. Grain is brought to Lowell for this mill from distances of 40 miles and the village furnishes a current for the operation of a large amount of its machinery. Another new demand for pow- er will come from the General Bean Company, whose plant now under erection here is Hearing completion. This company will start olf by using current io op- erate about 80-hp. The Superior Furniture Co., which has been running on a light schedule for some time, has been booking orders steadily and plans lo resume operations in the near future. Although this com- pany will not be running to full capacity il is expected that it will run at about 50 per cent of its peak load. Other industries of the village will naturally demand more power as the fall season ap- proaches. Mayor Henry and the light and power committee are working continuously on the problem of how to supply more power. They are investigating from all angles and hope to avoid the expense of another power unit. Lowell is not alone in this problem, the service corporations everywhere that use water pow- to the older members of the com- tors by the Kent County Road er to anv extent being also atTect- munily who revived their mem- Commission and formally opened th / ' " . 1 , h m i n f other 1,(1 b - v thc ,ow water level of the ories of the old days, but il was to the public.

A bountiful picnic dinner was served. Jake Layer was the first settler in the present district while John Schwarder is the oldest living tax payer. Mr. Mosher was the only teach- er in the log school house. The present school was built in 1868, Julia Coppens was the first teach- er. Two of her pupils. Kate Graham-Wilson and Charles Yei- ter attended the reunion. Three teachers were present, Mrs. Lillie Harris, Mrs. Will Klahn and the present teacher, Nfrs. Ernest Roth. The business meeting was called to order by the chairman. Earl McDiarmid. The following offi- cers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Earl McDiar- mid; vice president, Will Murphy; secretary, Ray Rittenger; treasur- er, Andy Rittenger; correspond- ing secretary, Doris Roth.

Thc celebra- tion itself was a model of what such an event should be, com- bining an historical pageant with entertainment features that ap- pealed to every age. But the whole-hearted participation of every citizen of Lowell in a 24- hour-a-day push to put the pro- gram over is the factor that in- sured the success of the event. Lowell is fortunate that the conclusion of its first ten decades find it with a group of citizens who are truly civic-minded. Many a town of ten times the population of the pleasant little city on the Flat river would have ditliculty in mustering a similar number of alert business men, veterans and society women who would roll up their sleeves and work for their town in this man- ner. Lowell can feel that its labors were not only productive of a birthday party that was a model of its kind but that they have set up a mark for other Michigan cities to shoot at and one it will be difficult to hit with- out the same brand of civic spirit.

NOTICE, LEDGER READERS Friends of The Ledger and Al- to Solo having business in the Probate Court of Kent County will confer a favor on the pub- lisher by requesting thc court to order probate notices published in this paper. The Judge will be glad to comply with the re- quest when made. If thc rcauest is not made such notices will be published in a Grand Rapids pa- per.—Respc ct fully. R. G. Jefferies, Pub. Ledger. The publisher of The Ledger regrets that he cannot fill re- miests for additional copies of the Centennial issue of August 13. Although hundreds of extra copies of that issue were printed the supply was exhausted within two days. Requests have come by mail from nearly all sections of the country, indicating that the fame of Lowell's Centennial has spread far and wide. Is Mecca for Many Drivers Fisk Knob. Kent county's high- est point, is proving a mecca for Kent county drivers since the erection by the road commission of its 37-foot observation lower. The tower, built of galvanized steel, is erected on land 1,075 feet above sea level and 400 feet above Campau square.

Last year the initial nation- wide observance of Muster Day by county and state Farm Bureaus was declared to be one of the greatest demonstrations of the strength of organized agriculture ever displayed in America, Mr. Winder pointed out. "National officials of the Ameri- can Farm Bureau Federation are confident that this year Muster Day will be even more impres- sive from a national viewpoint." Mr. Winder said. Old Waverly Hotel Passes to New Hands ty has been built for the conven- ience of persons seeking the view from this spot. Says Ledger Is a Credit to Any Ciiy L. O. Whitcomb, who spent his school days in Lowell and who is now connected with the public service department of thc city of Toledo was here for the Centen- nial.

"PARAGRAPHICALLY SPEAKING'*

By Ralph E. Shannon, Trade Analyst, Publ isher of the Journa l , Washington, Iowa.

We have always noticed when business sails along sinooinlv, merchants everywhere are prone to advertise. But when the going gets rough, most business men tighten up on the publicity.

If there ever has been a time fo r construc-tive advertising, it's right now. Economy is the watchword, certainly. But when your car hits the mini road, it is no economy to shut oil' tlie gas.

You will note we say "constructive" ad-vertising. We had a long talk with a cer-tain business man the other day who spent $3,500 for advertising in 1030. That is, h( called it advertising.

BELONGS TO THE FARMER

The small town belongs to the farmer . It exists mainly, if not entirely to serve him. It is the place he goes for a loaf of bread or a loan at the bank. It is there, usually, that he attends a lodge meeting or a chicken pie supper. If the farmer never wanted a loaf of bread or a chicken pie supper there would not be any town. There might be a filling station and a hot dog stand for the conven-ience of travelers, but it would not be a town. Time was, in the days of mud roads and plow-horse travel that we were more or less bound to the small village nearby. Now we can lake it or leave it. If we choose, we can truck our grain and stock to a city, and we can go to the city for our clothes, food and entertainment. We hold the power of life and death over the little local town. If we neglect it, it must surely starve to death, for il has no means of self-support. A few small towns have so died, but that most of them remain show we still want them. We may pretend to think lightly of that town but still we want a location for our churches, lodges and high schools. We still want a place close at hand where we can find a doctor, druggist, a veterinarian, a ball of twine or a plowshare. The sort of mer-chants we find in our town are the sort we support with our patronage. If we make a policy of dealing only with the man who carries a goodly assortment of dependable articles he will stay in business and prosper, and as he prospers he will naturally offer belter assortments and better sen ice . So with the kind of lawyers, of doctors and den-tists. In a city farmers may not have much influence on ihe character of business and professional men, but in the little town pat-ronage is the confronting influence. The little town is more than a convenience for buying every day supplies. It is more than a first-aid station in case of a broken leg or a broken binder. It is the community cen-ter where social life of the fa rm people finds its most natural and most potent expression. The casual contacts of people mingling with one another as they go about their errands are what bind a community with a character all its own. Quite apart f rom any formal organization, the community spirit that cen-ters in the farmers ' town is the fundamental unit in agricultural life of our country. Our little town represents us as do our red barns and tall silos. It is our responsibility and our opportunity. We can select its business and professional people almost as we cull our flocks and herds, retaining those we want and eliminating those who do not measure up to our standards. We can in-fluence its citizenship by choosing the door-ways we enter and the counters over which we buy our goods. The little town is ours and it will be what we make it.

EDUCATION

Education is of various kinds and may be acquired in various ways. The usual way of acquiring an education, of course, is to at-tend school and af terward some college, but this is not the only way.

In fact, school and college are the lazy man's method of instruction—if one has sufficient ambition—enough gumption—he can educate himself. Some of the best ed-ucated men in the history of our country never attended college, and some of them did not even "enjoy" a common school edu-cation. Abraham Lincoln, fo r example, never even passed through what is known as the eighth grade—did not even learn all, or much, in fact, of what the ordinary country school had to offer him in a day when the country school in this country was at its worst. Yet Mr. Lincoln was a statesman and a scholar, whom no man would think of classifying as uneducated.

The easy way to acquire an education is to go to college, but if one has ambition, a col-lege is not essential. Probably a hundred men who have made their mark in American history never saw the inside of a college, un-less it were to be invited in and have college honors bestowed upon them for their achievements in education or in other lines.

Colleges nowadays are recognizing and are conferring degrees on men who have not attended college, but who have learned by experience many things not necessarily iii the college course, but which even the col-leges are recognizing now us being equiva-lent to the things taught, although these things may be of a totally different charac-ter. Colleges are thus admitting, by the conferr ing of these honors, that an educat-ed man is an educated man, whether he has ever been to college or not, and is entitled to the credit actually due him.

Thus it is clear that no young man without Ihe funds to attend college need despair of becoming educated. His ambition—if he h a ^ any—can take the place of the dollars which are not in his pocket, and he may have his valued education just the same, pro-vided he is willing to work fo r it. Money fo r a college course is very desirable, but is in no sense essential.

Hut when he submitted his figures, we found that $1,100 had been invested in trad-ing stamps and $300 in program space and other miscellany that should have been charged to "donations."

An advertising budget should not be load-ed with special discounts and contributions. That business man invested only $1.00 in constructive advertising, as we view the mat-ter, and |1,800 was none too much in his particular case.

Another form of advertising waste is the haphazard, spasmodic schedule. In the paper this week, out the next. A big splurge today, then silence fo r three months. That kind of advertising has never paid anybody.

The steady pull, concentrating Ihe plan around one central idea, is the publicity pre-scription that brings home the bacon.

And when we mention "central idea." we are ready to argue with you that an idea is much more important than the merchandise you are selling.

Let's consider the lumber business for ex-ample. As a lumberman you might pos-sibly be able to interest us in remodeling our home, but not in a thousand years could you make us want to buy shingles and two-by-fours.

We asked a carpenter the other day how many new houses would be built in our town in 1931. He answered, "Not more than one or two, and maybe not that many." And when we asked him why, he said. "We have more houses now than we need."

Which is correct, such as they are. But come into our town and try to rent a modern home. It can't be done.

Certainly the stage seems to be all set for a campaign on modernization. And that campaign should be shared in by all the lumbermen, the furni ture man, the electric-ian, and every other line in town, because all would benefit.

All that vast field is wide open, and yet we find lumbermen still selling lumber, furni-ture men still selling furni ture, and clothing men selling clothes. And what is still worse, newspapermen selling ads!

Let's all face about, what do you say, and sell IDEAS, exclusively.

A Word to Lowell Business Men

There it no medium or method

that can be compared to the effic-

iency of The Ledger in reaching the

lubitant ia l buyers of this trading

area.

The Ledger goes to a big expense

every i n u e in publishing the news

of Lowell and surrounding town-

shipi. This means bonafide circu-

lation and that is what the mer-

chant is entit led to when he buys

space for his store's announcements.

Chapter III.

• It was not until we had reached the Baptist church that mother alloweil the mare to go faster Hum her spritely walk. She had kept up a constant talking to her in a quiet soothing tone and now that the road ahead was clear she let the mare assume her nat-ural t rot t ing stride, only curb ing her by Ihe most gentle t ightening of rein and by word of mouth.

On Ihe corner by the new Melbodist church was a group of boys—one rather tall ami dark, who in a f te r years was destined to perfect the tele-phono in general use by the Bell Telephone Co., up to Ihe birth of Ihe present automatic . On beyond at Ihe foot of Peck's hill, coming f rom the river was another group a little older, one of whom as years nassed invent-ed the Burroughs adding machine.

F a r t h e r on we passed a man on foot, fol lowing the by-path, ra th-er small of stature, his light red-brown hair hanging to his shoul-ders in waves. Mis name was M. B. Kerekes, a carr iage pa in te r ,

Ihe guit ter he had become well along in years , il was brought out that he had been a Hungar ian patriot , at one t ime pr iva te secre tary lo Louis Kossuth, fleeing f rom his mother country an 'exi ie .

As we turned north on thc county line road , -we met a one-lorse wagon loaded with br ick, ust tu rn ing into thc road f rom Helmer's b r ickyard . On the wagon beside the dr iver sat a youngster of my age. Bed hair , stub nose, freckled faced Peddy Graham, one of the most famous present day architects, senior member of the firm of Graiham. Anderson and Probst, designer of the $25,000,000 postofUce building now under construct ion in Chi-cago. Strange how one UUle incident of minor importance sometimes shapes the destiny of one's life.

Ernest Graham was one of five of us boys who were suspended from school at thc same time. It was necessary to go to the mod-erator , which ofllce on the school board was held by Robert Gra-ham. Ernest ' s father , and offer an apology for our refract ion, which of course would be accepted wi th a lecture, and then we w e r e granted permission lo re turn to school. Four of us re turned , but Mr. Graham being a brick layer by t rade seemed to think Ernest should learn to lay br ick, and as he was then buikiing the three-s tory block adjoining the s tore now occupied by R. I). Stock-ing, he placed his son under the supervision of Vet Brower , who was in charge, and Ernest s tar ted on a career that has led to some of the greatest construct ion in America. When he was up on that wall the rest of the bunch would file down from school and stand there on the walk yelling "mor t l " "anortI" (The cry of the mason to Ihe hod ca r r ie r for more mor tar . ) Peddy would grin that helpless grin of his ; but he kept right on laying brick.

Up hill and down dale the winding sand track led; oak grubs and hazel brushes swish ing our faces and the side of the buck-board . The black mare, full of l ife and energy, had been given a f ree rein and with the air full of smoke from Ihe many forest fires in the north, by the t ime we reached the turn on what is now MMMi she had spent some of he r ambit ion. As we turned, west a flash of l ightning warned of the approach of a storm. It had been very dry all that season and to al-most every one the increasing peals of thunder and flashes of l ightning were a welcome omen. Mother was looking anxiously at the fast approaching storm clouds and for thc first time urged the b l a c k mare on. We turned to the r ight on thc road high

above the r iver and skir t -the hillside down to the

fo rd Just as the s torm broke. As we came to a stop at the wate r ' s edge she climbed down and went to the mare ' s head, released the check rein and a f t e r s t roking her face and talkint* quiet ly fo r a moment, she took f rom her pocket ano the r lump of sugar which seemed to convey that fear less confidence so much desired at that t ime. As she stood the re talking quietly to the mare , she had taken off h e r hoops and

gathered her skir ts about her waist which she fastened and with the caution to me lo "hang on tight," she took the mare by the bit and we started across the river, slowly, all Ihe while nett ing Ihe mare 's nose and talking to quiot her. The thunder was peal-ing and roll ing and the lightning was shooting across the sky, fork-ing and Hashing, but Ihe rain was spasmodic with the wind coming in more and more f requent gusts. Slowly she led the mare, now in Ihe water to her knees, then through a hole where she would slop and feel with h e r fool for a shal low passage. When half w a y over s h e again s t o p p e d and brought out an-other lump of sugar , and as she walled for a moment af ter , the mare stretched out her neck and drank. From then on the t r ip was continuous, the buck-board came up into the road and af te r adjust-ing her skir ts mother climbed In and In a short time we were at our destination.

Henry Richards and his fa ther had just finished Ihe chores and were on their way from Ihe barn with milk pails in each hand as we drove in In the yard. George Richards sat his pails on Ihe ground and hurr ied to where mother was tying the mare to a hi tching post, as Ellen came f rom her kitchen, both asking excited-ly what had happened to b r ing us there at that hour . In as few-words as possible, a f te r enter ing the house, she told them and be-

uniuivi , l w e e n s o , w ' 5 h t ' n s k t ' ( , r o r Henry and an artist with the guitar. Af- J u » t " he entered the room. Ellen,

dry-eyed, stood with he r hand rest ing on the back of a chair , he r face white and s tar ing apparent -ly inlo space. Henry 's fa ther dropped intp a cha i r and steadily stroked his beard. Henry came over to mother and as had a lways been his custom kissed her and asked her what had happened? She placed both hands on his shoulders and in a broken voice said: "Henry , look Aunt Jane straight in the eyes, tell me t ru th-fully, did you take anybody 's horses, or know about anybody stealing any horses in Kansas'? Don't answer me, Henry, unless it is with the whole t ru th . I knww you didn' t , Henry, but you must tell me so."

Henry 's mother came f o r w a r d , her face white, and placing he r arm about her son 's neck she laid her cheek against his and said in a low dull tone of voice, "Dearie ,

ou have a lways said that you lave never told me a lie. Tell us

the t ruth, Henry dear, if you n e v e r do again, tell us ." It was too much fo r her and Henry caught hor in his a rms as his father jumped up f rom his chair . They placed her on a couch and in a shor t time with mother working over her she re-vived. Until then mother 's ques-tion had remained unanswered , but Henrv now taking his moth-er's hand he placed it over his heart and kneeling beside the couch he raised his right hand and said, "Mommee, in your presence, before fa ther . Aunt Jane and God, 1 swea r I know nothing of what you arc t a l k i n g about.

In a low voice mother then told him of all thc c i rcumstances lead-ing up to our trip, and urged him to make haste in gelling together his necessary belongings, all the l ime trying to think- of just the place for him lo hide out whi le the search was on. Without notice

Henry ' s exile only lasted about ten days, when a wire to the deputy sherifT announced the re-covery of the stolen horses in Kansas and the capture of thc cul-prit.

D u r i n s Henry ' s isolation Frank who had learned to make as well as take "pract ical jokes" got a great kick out of telling him about what big r ewards were olTered for his cap ture and it was onlv a f te r Henry's fa ther had been over one nighl that the tables were turned. Then Henry told Frank that he didn' t realize that he was liable to be arrested and sent lo prison if it ever became known that he had harbored a fugitive, and so went the battle of wits.

In those days there lived in that neighborhood several fami-lies where gathered at times in-terested f r iends to participate in spiritualistic seances; frequently, noted mediums w-ould come, and there would be quite large meet-ings. B. N. Goodsell was quite a leader and as Frank Gell's shop was quite a hangout , many ex-periences were there recited. Frank was invited on many oc-casions, but had never attended until one day a medium arr ived and Frank ' s f r iends urqed him to at tend. He consented ami when evening came Mr. Good-s e l l slopped and Frank ac-companied him lo the meeting. It was all s t range to Frank and his unders tanding of language and customs was none too keen. Afler several demonstra t ions by 'the medium. F rank was asked if he wished to converse with any of his depar ted friends, and he de-cided to talk with his father. Final ly the contact was made and through the medium he asked various quest ions and then he in-quired about how- his fa ther 's bad leg was gett ing along, to which he was informed that all ills and troubles left when he departed from this life. Frank jumped up and exclaimed, "Is't ' ter 'ol man t ed?" to which he was answered by a defensive question, "Why yes, isn't h e ? " "Vel he didn't vas der last ledder 1 ged from 'em!"

Mother's wet skirls, shoes and stockings w e r e replaced by some belonging, to Ellen, and the storm had proved a mere gesture as we started on our homeward journey through Fal lasburg and by the way of the Keenc church, thus avoiding Ihe ford. (.See foot note.)

Thc black m a r e seemed to have spent some of her energy and was satisfied lo take a steady gait all the way to the village. Nearly a mile nor th on the county line road we met fa ther with the barn man. He got into the buck-board with us and told mother that the sheriffs wouldn ' t be going out lo the Richard 's fa rm until next day, as some of Ihe "boys" had called an jmpromptu political meeting lo which b o t h w e r e invited, and that the officers were , when he left , being taken the rounds of the saloons and introduced to the infiuental polit icians of the village.

It was a f t e r eleven o'clock when we drove in and found much exci tement over the news of thc b u r n i n g of the city of Chi-cago.

Remember When I was born and raised in Ver-

genne.s. My parents were Ches-ter and J ane H. Church. I at-tended school in a little red school house •% of a mile east. Just a na r row wagon road with trees and brush right up to the track. I have seen wild deer and at one time saw two bear in the woods, not very far f rom our house. Indians were of ten at our place. La te r I have seen a long s tr ing of Indians with their pontes loaded wi th baskets of all sizes, coming down the road, one behind the other in true Indian file, to t rade baskets for flour, pork or corn . They never asked you to buy—it w a s always "how swap um."

Lowell was a very small.village at that time, but it was our t rad-ing place, as Ihere was no other place neare r than Ionia or Grand Rapids. 1 have crossed thc old covered "Bisbie br idge" and sometimes forded Flat r iver litlle nor th of the village.

I have seen the forest disap-pear and fine homes with or-chards and fields of grain take their place, also the old trails or wagon roads that were almost or quite impassable al times give way to the good roads. I have seen the village nearly wiped out by fire and fiood, but it has come up again each time more sub-stantial and more beautiful than before.

1 remember the Kopf fu rn i tu re store, also their factory soulM of Grand r iver . Am still using a set of chai rs bought f rom their s tore in 1872, that have been in use every day since and are en-tirely good yet.

I have seen Flat r iver full of

Eine logs f rom the nor thern lum-er camps and the saw mill Just

north of Main slreet . I remem-ber w h e n the whistles on the mills and factor ies used to call the men to work . Lowell vil lage w a s surely a lively town at that l ime and is now one of the prettiest , if not the most beauti-ful of any village in the state.

MELODY FARMS DAIRY Grade "A" Milk

Is the BEST FOOD for Growing

Children . . and Even for Adults!

\ n d POUND for POUND, I t Is BY FAR t h e

Lowest Priced Food You Can Buy, When You

T a k e 44Food Value'* I n t o Cons idera t ion

There is no better food in the world for growing chi ldren or fo r adults than CLEAN, pure, wholesome milk. It contains just the elements that the human body demands. You will find that ch i ldren will be a whole lot bet ter off if pies and pastries are omitted f rom their diet, and a glass or two of clean, pure milk subst i tuted at each meal. They wil l enjoy better heal th, will develop a bet-ter physical foundat ion , and you'll find that there will be a big saving in doctor 's bills. Just try it out and see.

. ng be CLEAN, because ord inary milk is a recog-nized car r ie r of germs. Here is whe re Mel-ody Farms Dairy can be of great help to you, by providing milk that is just as CLEAN as any milk produced in Michigan, as proven by ACTUAL TEST by State Inspectors. Melody Fa rms Dairv has fully met EVERY RE-QUIREMENT demanded by the state l a the production of clean, wholesome milk, and is legally PERMITTED TO SELL GRADE "A" MILK.

As A Mother, You Feel That There Is

Nothing Too Good For Your Children! You are careful to see that every part icle

of food is made SAFE before it passes their lips. You see that vegetables a re thoroughly cooked; you remove the protective covering f rom f ru i t s ; nuts a r e shelled; you know that the dr inking wa te r is safe.

Inasmuch as IMPURE MILK has doubtless been the source of as many serious epidemics of disease as any o the r one cause, there is every reason WHY you should exercise d u e -

caution in selecting the milk you use in your o w n home. Especially in these hot months you should be careful of the milk you use, because bacteria multiply very rapidly in warm milk.

We always wil l recommend Melody F a r m s Dairy Grade "A" Milk, because of its safety, as shown by actual TESTS made by Michigan State Inspectors .

Delivered in the early m o r n i n g , f r e sh and cool

LA BARGE R I P P L E S

In line with tbe greatly broad

ened oudook this year of the Mich'

Igan State Fair and Exposition, now

the official t i t le of the annual s ta te

exbibition, efforts directed toward a

pronounced revival of in teres t a m o ii g representa t ive livestock breeders and exhibitors promise a wider range of entr ies than ever be-fore achieved.

Outs tanding business and indus-tr ial leaders of Detroit having aligned themselves solidly behind the whole fa i r project, which has been enlarged to embrace a fascl nating display of Michigan's fore-most manufactured products, a min-imum a t tendance of half a million Is now assured.

Plans for tbe 82nd anniversary ot t h e s ta te f a i r to be hel4 S e p t 6 to 12. Inclusive, offer so much ot In-te res t to every visitor, whether f rom the city or fa rming com munity, man or woman, boy or girl, t h a t t he event really will const i tute more than two score shows com bined in one huge enterprise .

With the working model of Mich' igan Industries, more comprehea slve livestock exhibits, special a t t ract ions galore and a premium list tha t to ta ls $96,924, there is every reason to believe, according to Secretary John L. McNamara, tha t the 1931 fa i r will set a high wate r mark of success.

Conferences already h e l d by mombers of the fair board, associ-ations of s tockmen and members of the advisory group augur well not only for finer exhibits this fall but Important s tr ides in years to come.

boom, confi-

dence makes the great ma-jority mlns the t u r n In a boom, and un-der- confidence makes t h e m miss It In a depression. A leading N e w Y o r k banker when asked re-cently when he could tell that a turn for the

better had come. said. "About three months a f t e r It has happened."

There Is more significance In that remark than appears on the sur-face. As more and more manufac-turers and business men real l ie that the turn has already come and that they a re over-staying the time to adopt construct ive policies, they begin cautiously to press their Hell-ing campaigns, to speed up their production, to enlarge their work-ing forces and increase their com mltments for supplies. It is tbe Fathering weight of their influences that finally ra ises tbe pressure of confidence.

The sures t way to bring the na-tion out of the business depression Is to raise the pressure of public confidence to the point ot becom-ing a real dynamic force. It has invariably been the push of that force which has started recovery in the past, and It is the gather ing power of this force which will s t a r t recovery f rom this depression.

It is a favorable sign of the times that there seems to be gen-

1 eral agreement that the bottom j of the depression has been reached | and all eyes are peeled and look-1 ing ahead for the first indications , that the turn for the better is In

sight. Who knows but what the first thing we know we will find ourselves looking backward instead of forward as we realize that the turn has a l r - ady come.

powers to national banks should cross s t a t e lines, or exceed the priv-ileges tha t s ta te legislatures could and would grant to s ta te banks.

"Moreover we believe t ha t If the choice between these two possible courses of extending branch bank-ing were put up to bankers they would be generally opposed to Any forcible Imposition of branch bank-ing on the s ta tes through the m e dlum of the national bank system. We believe it would be preferable for any change to come about through the more gradual and democrat ic method of tbe s ta tes gran t ing their banks branch bank-ing powers state-by s ta te where.

HOUSEHOLD BUDGETING

0M ; of tin* Hlmplot ways of car-rying out a household budpet

Is by means of what most hMW* wivfg call a house jiurse; and some sort of purse In which a stipulated amount of money was placed for every day's or every weeks ex-penses was often used before the present vogue for budgeting began.

One way of going about it Is to have a purse containing several sec-tions. with money In each. When any is spent for food it comes from one section, money spent for house-bold supplies such as soup, kitchen ntenKlls. dish cloths, etc., which should be considered as part of op-era t ing expenses, comes from an-other section, while money spent for sewing materials comes from •nn the r section.

Another way to go about It is to make a practice of putt ing a lit-t le slip of paper in the purse when-ever money Is spent. Indicating the tmOttDt and purpose. So. If you

S U P E R S T I T I O U S

SHE HAS HEARD THAT—

If you find a h o r s e s h o e a n d t h e p r o n g s a r « po in t ing y o u r w a y , g r a b It up, k id . f o r it will b r i ng you luck — b u t If th# t o e is t o w a r d you, t h a t

have put jl.'i In the purse on Mon- 1 means bad luck and nothing else day you can balance accounts on | but . Saturday by listing these slips, add-ing the total figure to the amount of money that remains and making sure tha t this equals the amount put Into the purse on Monday. This Is a primitive sort of cash regis-ter arrangement that is simpler to manage fo r many housewives than keeping accounts in a book every day.

The house purse often proves very useful when a number of young women keep house together sharing the e x p e n d s of the house-keeping. Every pay day each mem-ber of the group Hits or So or j more in the purse from which ail payments of a community sort a r e made. Even If the account keep-ing ends here there is no danger of anyone being cheated, and so lone as every one antes up promptly when the purse is bare, there Is no need of any sort of bookkeeping.

C H I L D R E N CRY FOR IT—

^ H I L D R E I N ha le t o t ake medicine

^ as a rule, but every child loves the tas te of Castoria. And this pure vegetable preparat ion is jus t as good

as it tastes; jus t as bland and just as harmless as the recipe reads.

When Baby ' s cry warns of colic,

a few drops of Castoria has him soothed, asleep again in a jiffy. Noth-

ing is more valuable in diarrhea. When coated tongue or bad breath tell of constipation, invoke its gentle

aid to cleanse and regulate a child's bowels. In colds or children's diseases,

you should use it to keep tbe s y s t e q from clogging.

Castoria is sold in every drugstore! the genuine always bears Chas. H) Fletcher's signature.

T h e D e a t h of C leopatra

ASK the average perHon how Cleopatra, qoeeo of Egypt und

supervamplre of the Nile, came lo her death, and, basing their reply upon the statements found In the usual history and the filmed ver-alons of the career of the Egyptian princess, they will answer : "She committed suicide by permitt ing an asp to utlng her."

But put the same question to Plu-tarch. master historian of his time and admitted expert upon nmtters connected with the history of Home and Its nelghorlng nations, and the answer will he found upon the pnges of his history: "What real-ly took place Is known to no one."

There, summed up In a sentence. Is the truth about the death of Cleopatra, so far as It has been definitely and authentically asc-r-talned op to the present time. In fact It la susceptible of being boiled down Into two words—"No-body knows"—with the addition of the sUtement that It Is extremely doubtful If anyone ever will know, unless the sphinx gives up Us se-crets or some hidden recess of the pyramids Is uncovered which con-ta ins the truth about the final days of her who was called the moat beautiful of queens, but who was described by Plutarch In the fol-lowing words :

"Her actual beauty, tt Is said, was not In Itself so remarkable that none could be compared with her or that no one could see her with-out being struck by It, but t he con-tact of her presence. If you lived with her, was Irresistible. The at-t ract ion of her person joining with the charm of her conversation and the character that attended all she said and did, was something be-witching. It was n pleasure merely to hear the sound of her voice, with which, like an Instrument of many strings, she could pans from one language to another, so that there were few even among the barbarian nations that she an-swered through an Interpreter."

Bom In Alexandria, In B. C. 00. Cleopatra shared the dominion over Egypt with her brother Ptole-my when she was only eighteen, but, some three years later, she was dethroned by those who adhered to her brother 's s tandard. About this t ime Julius Caesar arrived in Egypt and fell victim to the charms of the siren queen, assisting her to regain her throne and she. In turn, presented him with a son. Cnesa-rlon, born during her stay In Rome where she remained until Caesar 's assassination In the senate, when she returned to Egypt.

About three years later another noble Roman cast his shadow across the career of the beautiful Egyptian—this t ime the handsome Mark Anthony, friend of the mur^ dered Caesar and newly appointed ruler of Asia and the Bast. Sum-moned before Anthony on a charge of having given assistance to his enemies. Cleopatra, according to the description which Plutarch gives, "came sailing to him In a barge with gUded stern and out-spread sails of purple, while oars of sliver beat t ime to the music of Antes and fifes and harps. She herself lav all alone under a can-opy of cloth of gold, dressed as Venus In a picture, and beautiful young boys, like painted cuplds, stood on each side to fan her. Her maids were dressed like sea nymphs and graces, some steering at the rudder, some working at the | ropes."

As a result, the positions of cap-tor and captive were reversed for, as Plutarch continues, "Were An-thony serious or disposed to mirth, Cleopatra had at any mo-ment some new delight or charm to meet his wishes; at every turn she was upon him and let him es-cape her nei ther by day nor by n i g h t She played at dice with him, drank with him, hunted with him and, when he exercised In arms, she was there to see."

Anthony's divorce of his wife, s is ter to the Emperor Augustus, which followed his Infatuation fo r the Egyptian cbarmer, led to war between his forces and the Romans and to Anthony's suicide when he received a fa l se report of Cleo-pa t ra ' s death. This report, how-ever, was fa l se only with respect to time, for only a short time af t-erward tbe former queen of Egypt abut herself Inside the tomb of her Roman lover and when soldiers finally forced the doom they found her "lying upon a bed of gold, set out In all her royal ornaments, d e a d "

But how did she accomplish her death?

The most generally accepted story Is the account of the asp, which some say was smuggled to her In a basket of frui t , while oth-ers declare that the queen had pre-pared for Just such an emergency and bad kept an asp In a vase f o r months. But why an asp, a com-paratively large snake, when a small viper would have been qui te a s deadly? Why not poison, which would have left no marks upon the body which she loved so dearly?

Moreover, once more to quote Plutarch, " there were no marks or auspldon of poison on her body"— which appears to dispose of the asp theory—"and what really took place Is known to no one."
