COMMENCEMENT EVENT DRAWS BIG AUDIENCE PRESIDENT C. H. Rl'NCIMAN PRESENTS DIPLOMAS TO 49 GRADUATES WITH CON- GRATl'LATORY REMARKS- CLASS PRESENTS SPLENDID PROGRAM OF ORATORY. The Commencement exercises last Friday niftht attracted the lartfest crowd in the history of school. The Clly Hall was crowd- ed to capacity and many were turned away in disappointment. Forty-eight Seniors, and one par- ent were awarded their diplomas by Mr. C. H. Hunciman, President of the Board of Kduration. Hich- ard Baird was unable to be pres- ent. due to illness, and his moth- er Kraciously accepted the diplo- ma for him. In making the presentation Mr. Runciman congratulated the par- cnts as well as the graduates for the successful completion of the twelve years of work. In clos- ing he presented the class to Low- ell. intimating that these gradu- ates were now a part of the civic and social life of the community. One could infer from the tone of his remarks that Lowell citiiens should assume the same relation ship to the graduates in the fu- ture that the teachers and Board of Education had assumed during the past 12 years. He also placed responsibility squarely upon the shoulders of the graduates them- selves, telling them that their ac- tions in the future would be wit- ness to the fact that they were graduates of a High School which provided advantages of all kinds. Provide Own Prograai All of the oratory was provid- ed by the members of the class, who spoke on various traits and characteristics of George Wash- ington. The speakers were Wil- ma Wimsch, Ethel Myers, Rich- ard Houseman, Carlton Hunci- man, and Richard Court. Mar ion Colby presented the spade to the Juniors, and it was accepted by Raymond Dinsen. Music was rendered by the orchestra. Glee Clubs and members of the class. Zeona Rivette played two delight- ful piano solos, and (Miss Mars- man sang "The Market" beauti- fully.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 23. 1932 Aiiomces CaiMiey NO. 4-H CLUB CAMP FOR KENT CO. .STARTS JULY 17 Marshall Now in Marquette Prison On Thursday afternoon, June 16, the jury returned a verdict of guilty in the case of the People vs. Henry Marshall, charged with the slaying of Oflicer Chas. A. Knapp of Lowell, and was sentenced by Judge William E. Brown to life in the Michigan branch prison at Marquette. Marshall was started on the prison journey Friday afternoon —earlier than contemplated be- cause of the finding of a loaded pistol in a coat pocket in his cell. How the pistol got into Mar- shall's cell remains a mystery. Al- though no search was made after he was locked up following his conviction Thursday afternoon, he had been in solitary conflne- inent and had no visitors. However, he had been allowed to talk with his wife and his wife's brother before being locked up. A deputy sherifT was f tresent at the interview. Specu- ation as to Marshall's intended use of the pistol are many. 'Marshall's conviction ends the cases of two of the bandits who robbed the Wealthy-si. branch of the Grand Hapids Savings bank. Walter Galloway, who was a witness in the case, is awaiting sentence in superior court, after 1 (leading guilty. Two others, .ouis Goldberg and Jack Scherr, thought to have had no part in the actual holdup, but, as acces- sories, charged as principals un- er Michigan law, which recog- nizes no distinction of degree of participation, are awaiting trial in the same court. Carol John- son and Vincent Henry, named by Galloway as his and Marshall's companions, have not been ap- prehended. Greta Garbo in New Picture at Strand Following close on the heels of her brilliant success in "Grand 'Hotel," Greta Garbo in making her latest appearance in "As You Desire Me." heads a noted cast of talented players. The critics have hailed this as the exotic Gar- bo's greatest vehicle and are unan- imous that she has never done liner work. "As You Desire Me" plays the Strand Sunday and Monday. Zazu Pitts and Thelma Todd are also featured on this hill in their latest comedy, "The Old Bull." 15 Acres Hay For Sale On ground, ready to cut. Call George M. Parker, phone 181.

Main St. Lowell, Mich. Secare Tickets Before Boardiaf EM Stale Rep. Dexter G. Look Hon. Dexter G. Ix>ok. who has served this district ably and con- scientiously as representative in the Slate legislature, announces this week that he will be a can- didate for renomination in the coming September primaries. Mr. I^ook has come to this de- cision after due deliberation, and the announcement will be re ceived with gratiflcalion by the electors of the district, for if there ever was a time when men of experience in legislative mat- ters and familiarity with stale affairs and conditions will be needed, that time is at hand. Mr. Ixrak has served as mem- ber of the Ways and Means com- mittee during three sessions. This is the most important com- mittee of the House and in right hands wields a b»g influence for good in the shaping of legislation and stale finances. By his very nature Mr. I,ook is careful and conscientious and in full accord with efTorls to bring about ma- terial and permanent reductions in the cost of Slate government. During the past term he was one of Governor Brucker's most loyal suppo.lers in the latler's econ- omy efforts which brought about savings to the taxpayers of the slate aggregating several million dollars. Mr. Look's work in the legisla- ture has not been of a blustery nature. He is given more to sound economics and sound economies than to the soending of lime in introducing a neap of bills for the sake of notoriety and which serve only to waste the time of the legislature and thus sidetrack useful measures and efforts. The bills which Mr. I»ok has in- troduced have been of a construc- tive nature and for the benefit of all citizens, and not for some special interests. In illustration of this fact we will mention here just one meas- ure. The bill requiring the teaching of Civics in every Uligh School of the state was fathered by Mr. I^ook and is now in effect. From now on all Michigan par- ents will have the satisfaction of knowing that their boys and girls will not leave school without a good working knowledge of tho principles and fundamentals of government in all its units. Fur- ther. teachers who have neglect- ed this important subject in the IKist will now be required to pur- sue it in the Stale's normal col- leges. The ledger believes that the electors of this district, without regard to party affiliation, will be glad to know of Mr. Look's de- cision to again become a candi- date. It means that the district will continue to be ably and hon- orably represented. Ionia Escapers Were Reported by Simmons Fred West, who resides about 3 miles west of Lowell on M-21, states to The ledger that Oscar Simmons, a neighbor, burnished the information which led to the taking into custody last week of the two young men who escaped from Ionia reformatory and who were picked up later on the high- way beyond the West home. Mr. West states that Mr. Sim- mons was the first man to see the escapers, that he talked with them and then went to the West home from which place Deputy j Howes was notified by telephone;' that Simmons followed the men with his car and kept them in sight until the arrival of the de- puty. who then took the escapers in charge. The escapers, who were still wearing prison garb when taken into custody, appeared to take their liberty leisurely. They sat on a rail fence for a time and when they started west kept to the pavement in full view of passing cars.

W. 'lU'fferan and Miss Mary Hefferan at Eastman- ville and Mrs. C. C. Hopkins' gar- The Av den at Spring I^ike. The Avery garden is famous throughout the state for its fine Alpine plants which have been planted in a natural ravine surrounded with rare evergreens and containing a charming water garden. The Hefferan gardens have many beautiful perennials as well as a fine wall garden. From these gardens the cara- van of cars of club members con- tinued on to "Piney Crest," the Hopkins estate on Spring Lake, looking down from the high ter- race where the house is situat- ed one saw a sight that was spell- binding. Thousands of roses set out in a formal garden, beds of roses in different colors and beds of blending shades made a mar- velous setting close to the water's edge. A perennial bonier nearly half a mile in length composed of rare varieties and worked into a harmony of pastel shades wound its way below the terrace which was completely covered with climbing roses and shrub- bery of many sorts. A fine wat- erfalls at the further end of the estate and a second rose garden came as a last surprise to guests. From here a woody path edged with rhododendrons and ferns led to the upper part of the estate again. All members of the party planned to return again some- time and were invited to do so by Mrs. Hopkins, who escorted Considerable interest has been manifested here in the uuestion of the desirability of a landing field at Lowell, to operate in conjunction with major airports of the state.

Editor ledger: My absence from the city pre- vented me from taking advantage of your kind offer to write you further regarding a landing field at Ix)well. As I stated at your Board of Trade meeting, the building of major airports such as those at Grand Hapids, Detroit, Pontiac and other large cities is like building a mile of good road go- ing nowhere unless other fields are also constructed between the major ports. Today, definite skyroads or lanes are being laid out and act- ually built, in-so-far as lighting, radio and landing fields are con- cerned. Tomorrow, a town of any size without adequate land- ing facilities will be like a town without railroads or good roads leading to and from i! are con- cerned.

This jOc book gives a very comprehensive discussion of the lime situation in Michigan. The other bulle- tin is circular No. 142 entitled "Common Diseases of Cereals in Michigan." It contains a very fine discussion on the diseases of wheat, oats, barley, rye and corn. The illustrations are good. It should be a good reference bulletin for the farmer who de- sires to keep his cereal diseases at a minimum. Copies of both bulletins may be obtained by writing to County Agent K. K.

ScKool Board Slashes Hi&h ScKool Tuition At an adjourned meeting of the Board of Education held Monday- night it was decided to lower the annual tuition for the High School from $75 to $65. This new rate goes into effect in Sep- tember. This leaves only $5 to be paid by the parent of the child and is to be paid during the first semester if possible. Figures were produced to show that it will cost $75.90 for each pupil in the upper six grades and these onservatne figures do not include the money A conservative estimate is that .... ,,- u •„ , „ - . . . the mud slung during a political which will be spent for bonds, m- campaign gathered together makes a number of mountains out cf mole hills.—Life.

The hoard, however, fell that an at- tempt should be made to cooper- ate with those living in the rural districts and lowered the rate ac- cordingly. Sixty-five dollars is one of the lowest rates by any other high school of like stand- ing. New Grade Rates Several rural schools have been discussing the advisability of sending the children to Lowell and the matter of rates has been under consideration for some time. At present Lowell is ac- commodating pupils from two districts and two different rates have been charged. In order to avert any unfairness it was de- cided that from now on the same, rate will be charged for all. These rates will be: Kindergarten, $20 for half-day; grades 1-8, inclusive, $30. Any district will thus be able to determine how much it would cost to send their children to Lowell. It might be said that the above figures are below cost, as the cost per pupil in the grades will ap- proximate 150 for next year. bad curves just south of the Em- ory orchard will be eliminated. Concrete will be laid for a dis- tance south of the Grand Trunk depot and possibly at one or two other points. Stanley M. Powell Makes Announcement To be a delegate to the nation- al convention of a great political State Hep. Dexter G. Look has party is an experience which received word from State iHigh-'monies to comparatively few peo- ple. Only in recent years have women participated in such af- fairs and now Lowell has had the honor of having one of its own citizens of the gentler sex receive this distinction. Mrs. Melville H. MePherson was one of the two delegates from the lifth congressional district to the Hepublican national convention held in Chicago lasl week. Frances Jefferies. Ledger re- porter, in an interview with Mrs. MePherson upon her return asked the question. "Did you find the convention deliberations interest- ing?" "(>, yes, intensely so," was the (piick response. "And we from Michigan were proud of the great seconding speech made by Gover- nor Brucker. There were few s|H>akers in the convention who approached him in oratorical ability. And that 22-minute demonstration when Hoover's name was placed in nomination formed a picture in enthusiasm never to be forgotten." "Probably one of the features of the convention which has at- tracted most comment on the part of (he public," continued Mrs. MePherson, "was the packing of the gallieries with thousands of people who were doubtless there for the avowed purpose of de- moralizing the work of the con- vention. Their heckling, boos Representative Stanley (M. P o w - ell. who is this week announcing himself for a second term as State Representative from Ionia County, is a third generation res- ident of Ingleside Farm in Ronald township. Hfs paternal grand- father, Joseph P. Powell, was one of the early settlers and (Stanley's father. Herbert E. Powell, oper- ated the old homestead for 40 years. Representative Powell graduated from the Ionia High school in 1916 and from the four-year course in agriculture at the Michi- gan State College in 1920. He is active in community- matters and in various organizations. He is treasurtr of Ronald Grange, Mas- ter of the Ionia County Pomona Grange, Overseer qf the Michigan State Grange, and an active mem- ber of the Farm Bureau and the American Legion. Waat ads. brtag results. and cat-calls had the opposite ef- fect, however. Doubtless, many delegates who came to the con- vention with the intention of sup- porting a repeal plank were so disgusted with the gallery crowd that they voted for the resubmit- tal of the prohibition question llirough congressional amend- ment. In giving my personal vote to the support of the plank which was adopted I was more than happy to know that in doing so I was associated in such action with men like John W. Blodgett, Ambassador Warren, our own Governor Brucker and many oth- er outstanding men of our delega- tion." 'Of course there were social functions for the ladies present," added (Mrs. MePherson. "Mrs. Dolly Gann, sister of Vice Presi- dent Curtiss, gave an inspiring talk at a tea given by Wh-s. Alvin T. Hert. Mrs. Gann is a striking woman who looks you straight in the eye in a way that one likes. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth was there, too, and it was a pleas- ure to see her. You know Mrs. Longworth is spoken of as a woman of plain features, but she is of such outstanding personal- ity that she possesses real beauty. "Mrs. Bina West Miller also tendered a tea at her apartments in the Drake Tower, which was attended by all the lady delegates. This was a rare privilege, Mrs. West (Miller proving a delightful hostess. "I was awfully glad to have been a participant in the conven- tion," concluded Mrs. MePherson. "We were happy because of the honor which came to Kent Coun- ty- in the election of Sirs. Jacob Bteketee as one of the members on the Republican National com- mittee from Michigan. This is the first time in several years that Western Michigan has been rep- resented on this committee and Mrs. Steketee will prove u wor- thy member. She is a splendid woman in every way."

The Commencement exercises last Fr iday niftht at tracted the lartfest c r o w d in the his tory of school. The Clly Hall was c rowd-ed to capaci ty and many w e r e turned away in disappointment . Forty-eight Seniors, and one par-ent were awarded their diplomas by Mr. C. H. Hunciman, President of the Board of Kduration.

In clos-ing he presented the class to Low-ell. in t imat ing that these gradu-ates were now a part of the civic a n d social l ife of the community . One could in fe r f rom the tone of h is remarks that Lowell c i t i i ens should assume the same relat ion s h i p to the graduates in the fu-ture that the teachers and Board of Education had assumed dur ing the past 12 years . He also placed responsibi l i ty squarely upon the shoulders of the graduates them-selves, telling them that their ac-t ions in the fu tu re would be wit-ness to the fact that they were g radua tes of a High School which provided advantages of all kinds.

Marshall Now in Marquette Prison On Thursday af ternoon, June

16, the ju ry re turned a verdict of guil ty in the case of the People vs. Henry Marshall , charged wi th the s laying of Oflicer Chas. A. Knapp of Lowell, and was sentenced by Judge Will iam E. Brown to life in the Michigan branch prison at Marquette.

Marshall was started on the pr ison journey Fr iday a f te rnoon —earl ier than contemplated be-cause of the finding of a loaded pistol in a coat pocket in his cell.

How the pistol got into Mar-shall 's cell remains a mystery. Al-though no search was made a f t e r he was locked up fol lowing his convict ion Thursday a f te rnoon, he had been in soli tary conflne-inent and had no visitors.

However , he had been al lowed to talk wi th his wi fe and his wife 's b ro the r before being locked up. A deputy sherifT was

f tresent at the interview. Specu-ation as to Marshall 's intended

use of the pistol are many. 'Marshall 's conviction ends the

cases of t w o of the bandi ts who robbed the Wealthy-si. b ranch of the Grand Hapids Savings bank. Wal ter Galloway, who was a witness in the case, is awai t ing sentence in super ior court , a f t e r

thought to have had no part in the actual holdup, but, as acces-sories, charged as pr incipals un-e r Michigan law, which recog-nizes no distinction of degree of par t ic ipat ion, are awai t ing tr ial in the same court. Carol John-son and Vincent Henry, named by Galloway as his and Marshall 's companions , have not been ap-prehended.

Greta Garbo in New Picture at Strand

Following close on the heels of he r bri l l iant success in "Grand 'Hotel," Greta Garbo in making he r latest appearance in "As You Desire Me." heads a noted cast of talented players. The cr i t ics have hailed this as the exotic Gar-bo's greatest vehicle and are unan-imous that she has never done liner work . "As You Desire Me" plays the Strand Sunday and Monday.

Stale Rep. Dexter G. Look

Hon. Dexter G. Ix>ok. who has served this district ably and con-scientiously as representat ive in the Slate l eg is la ture , announces this week that he will be a can-didate fo r renominat ion in the coming September pr imaries .

Mr. I^ook has come to this de-cision af te r due del iberat ion, and the announcement wil l be re ceived with gratif lcalion by the electors of the distr ict , for if there ever was a t ime when men of experience in legislative mat-ters and famil iar i ty wi th stale af fa i rs and condi t ions will be needed, that t ime is at hand.

Mr. Ixrak has served as mem-ber of the Ways and Means com-mittee dur ing three sessions. This is the most important com-mittee of the House and in right hands wields a b»g influence for good in the shaping of legislation and stale finances. By his very na ture Mr. I,ook is carefu l and conscientious and in full accord wi th efTorls to br ing about ma-ter ial and permanent reductions in the cost of Slate government . During the past term he was one of Governor Brucker ' s most loyal suppo . l e r s in the lat ler 's econ-omy efforts which brought about savings to the t axpayers of the s late aggregating several million dollars.

Mr. Look's work in the legis la-ture has not been of a blustery nature . He is given more to sound economics and sound economies than to the soending of l ime in in t roducing a neap of bills for the sake of notoriety and which serve only to waste the t ime of the l e g i s l a t u r e and thus s idetrack useful measures and efforts .

The bills which Mr. I » o k has in-t roduced have been of a construc-tive nature and fo r the benefit of all citizens, and not for some special interests .

In i l lustrat ion of this fact we will mention here just one meas-ure. The bill requir ing the teaching of Civics in every Uligh School of the s tate was fathered by Mr. I^ook and is now in effect. F rom now on all Michigan par-ents will have the sat isfaction of knowing that their boys and girls wil l not leave school without a good work ing knowledge of tho principles and fundamenta l s of government in all i ts units. Fur-ther . teachers who have neglect-ed this important subject in the IKist will now be required to pur-sue it in the Stale's normal col-leges.

The l e d g e r believes that the electors of this district , without regard to par ty affiliation, will be glad to know of Mr. Look's de-cision to again become a candi-date. It means that the district will cont inue to be ably and hon-orab ly represented.

Ionia Escapers Were Reported by Simmons

Fred West, who resides about 3 miles west of Lowell on M-21, s tates to The l e d g e r that Oscar Simmons, a neighbor, burnished the informat ion which led to the taking into custody last week of the two young men who escaped f rom Ionia r e f o r m a t o r y and who were picked u p later on the high-way beyond the West home.

Mr. West states that Mr. Sim-mons was the first man to see the escapers, that he talked with them and then went to the West home f rom which place Deputy j Howes was notified by te lephone; ' that S immons followed the men wi th his car and kept them in sight until the ar r ival of the de-puty. who then took the escapers in charge.

The escapers, who were still wear ing prison ga rb when taken into custody, appeared to take their l iberty leisurely. They sat on a rail fence f o r a t ime and when they s tar ted west kept to the pavement in full view of passing cars .

Enjoy Tour of Famous Gardens

The Hefferan gardens have many beautiful perennia ls as well as a fine wall garden.

From these gardens the cara-van of cars of club members con-tinued on to "Piney Crest ," the Hopkins estate on Spring Lake, l o o k i n g down f rom the high ter-race whe re the house is si tuat-ed one saw a sight that was spell-binding.

A perennia l bon ie r nearly half a mile in length composed of ra re variet ies and worked into a ha rmony of pastel shades wound its way below the te r race which was completely covered with cl imbing roses and shrub-bery of many sorts . A fine wat-erfal ls at the f u r t h e r end of the estate and a second rose garden came as a last surpr i se to guests.

Mr. Walsh's let ter to The l e d -ger fol lows:

Gd. Hapids, June 18, 1932. Editor l e d g e r :

My absence f rom the city pre-vented me from taking advantage of your kind offer to wr i te you fu r the r regarding a landing field at Ix)well.

As I stated at you r Board of Trade meeting, the building of major a i rpor t s such as those at Grand Hapids, Detroit , Pont iac and other large cities is like building a mile of good road go-ing nowhere unless o ther fields a re also cons t ruc ted between the major ports.

Today, definite skyroads o r lanes are being laid out and act-ually built, in-so-far as lighting, radio and landing fields a re con-cerned. T o m o r r o w , a town of any size wi thout adequate land-ing facilities will be like a town without ra i l roads o r good roads leading to and f rom i! are con-cerned.

From a commercial s tandpoint , the use of planes by business houses and the i r salesmen are becoming more commonplace each day. While the larger towns are taken care of by the use of commercial air l ines, the feeder or b ranch system of tak-ing care of the smaller commun-ities is now at hand. Our regis-t ry book bore shows, in addi t ion to o u r twen ty - two scheduled ar-rivals and depar tu res each day, several hundreds of planes dur-ing the year making this a stop-ping place.

Dr. Cyrenus C. Sayles. son of Mr. and Mrs. Chapin Sayles. who were among the earliest pioneers of this vicinity, died last Satur-day at his home in Langston, Montcalm county, at the age of 93 years. Funera l services w e r e held here Tuesday a f te rnoon at Yeiter's chapel , conducted by a Belding minis ter . In terment in Oak wood cemetery . A detai l f rom IX) we 11 American l e g i o n Post conducted mil i tary services at the grave.

Dr. Sayles w a s born in Ontar io , Can., in 1839, ami came here with his parents when about 7 years old. He was one of a family of 15 chi ldren and lived here until the breaking out of the Civil War , when he enlisted for three years , at the end of which time he re-enlisted and served to the close of the war . F o r the past 54 years he has practiced medicine in Montcalm county.

I building of inexpensive fields fifteen to twenty miles dis-tant f rom the main port wi th its costly hangers and shops, paved runways and night lighting re-quirement has proved the answer to this problem.

With the compara t ive ly low cost of land, the revenue derived f rom the ships using the field for ei ther student instruct ion or the car ry ing of passengers has in most cases proved ample to per-mit the smaller communit ies to establish and maintain a field in keeping with the up-to-dateness of the town.

Besides the 13 adults and 29 children f rom Lowell and vicin-ity who are being supervised by this organization as a mat ter of prevention, all those who feci unreasonably tired, have lost weight and appeti te , have a slight cough that hangs on or a little in-digestion are invited to this cl inic for diagnosis. All suspicious cases or those who have lived wi th a case of tuberculosis are provided with X-rays of the chest. Chil-dren ape given a painless tuber-culin test if the parent consents .

This year a special effort is made by the Tuberculosis Society to impress upon everybody in Kent County the facts that "Tub-erculosis Doesn't Just Happen,** but every case comes f rom an-other. This is the bat t le-cry of a national educational campaign, in o rde r to find cases early-enough to effect a cure.

Stanley M. Powell • Makes Announcement

To be a delegate to the nation-al convention of a great political

State Hep. Dexter G. Look has par ty is an experience which received word f rom State iHigh-'monies to comparat ively few peo-

ple. Only in recent years have women par t ic ipated in such af-fairs and now Lowell has had the honor of having one of its own citizens of the gentler sex receive this dist inction.

Mrs. Melville H. MePherson was one of the two delegates f rom the lifth congressional district to the Hepublican national convention held in Chicago lasl week.

F rances Jefferies . Ledger re-porter , in an in terview wi th Mrs. MePherson upon her re turn asked the quest ion. "Did you find the convention deliberat ions interest-i n g ? "

"(>, yes, intensely so," was the (piick response. "And we f rom Michigan were proud of the great seconding speech made by Gover-nor Brucker . There w e r e few s|H>akers in the convention who approached him in orator ical ability. And that 22-minute demonst ra t ion when Hoover 's name was placed in nominat ion fo rmed a pic ture in enthusiasm never to be forgot ten."

"Probab ly one of the fea tures of the convention which has at-tracted most comment on the part of (he public," cont inued Mrs. MePherson, "was the packing of the gallieries wi th thousands of people w h o were doubtless there fo r the avowed purpose of de-moral izing the work of the con-vention.

and cat-calls had the opposite ef-fect, however . Doubtless, many delegates who came to the con-vention with the intention of sup-por t ing a repeal plank were so disgusted wi th the gallery crowd that they voted for the resubmit-

tal of the prohibi t ion question llirough congress ional amend-ment . In giving my persona l vote to the support of the plank which was adopted I was more than happy to know that in doing so I was associated in such action wi th men like John W.

'Of course there were social funct ions for the ladies present ," added (Mrs. MePherson. "Mrs. Dolly Gann, s is ter of Vice Presi-dent Curtiss, gave an inspir ing talk at a tea given by Wh-s.

T H E CHURCHES GROW Figures compiled by the Christian Herald

reveal that church membership increased by 433,656 in 1931, continuing a gain that has been steady in every decade since 1800.

A little more than one hundred years ago it is estimated that only 6.5 per ceni of popu-lation belonged to religious bodies but last yea r the ratio had risen to 40.1 per cent.

Dr. G. L. Kieffer, who prepared the statis-tics, declares that they confirm "the general belief that interest in religion increases in times of depression" and declares that "amid the wreck of fortunes and the ruin of mater-ial hopes, the church still stands."

$40,000 OR MORE THE COST TO KEEP A MURDERER IN COMFORT

Judfle William B. Brown, a f te r reviewing case of Henry Marshall, found guilty of the slaying of OlTlcer Charles Knapp, declared that "there is not the slightest shadow of a doubt that the verdict of the jury is abund-antly justified," scored Marshall fo r his crime, expressed regret that the people of the state must support him in prison for per-haps 40 years.

We quote Judge Brown in part as follows: "You have to go to prison for the term of

your natural life. The law-abiding citizens of the state of Michigan have got to support you in idleness for probably 40 years. You not only shot down a citizen of ihis country in cold blood and nibbed a bank, but under the laws of the state of Michigan you have to be supported, clothed and housed; fuel has got to IK- furnished for your comfort , at-tendants have got to be employed to look af-ter you probably for a |>eriod of 40 years. 1 would not doubt but that it will cost the tax-payers of Michigan $40,000 or $50,000 to take care of you the rest of your natural life in Michigan.

"This is the thing the people of the state of Michigan have to consider as to whether or not the law is to be such, a f te r a person who is a perfectly lawless enemy of society for-feits all the right to be a member of society, goes out and n ibs a bank and shoots a citizen, whether to that should be added the responsibility of supporting a man of ability for the next 40 years at the expense of the taxpayers or whether some method more summary, more beyond that in its deterring effect should be adopted by the lawmakers of this state.

"Personally I am not in favor of taxpayers supporting a man for 40 or 50 years at the taxpayers' expense af ter he has forfeited ev-ery right to have anything to do with or par-ticipate in organized society. A man who will take the life of an innocent citizeo, as I said, forfeits thereby even- possible vestige of right under any form of government, to be supported by that government or to be allowed to continue an ignoble life. That is my theory."

Constructive co-operation builds a town

REPUBLICAN P L A N K ^ U T S PROHIBI-TION UP TO THE PEOPLE

The text of the administration prohibition plank adopted by the Republican national convention is given below:

The Republican party has always stood and slands today for obedience to and en-forcement of the law as the very founda-tion of orderly government and civiliza-tion. There can be no national security otherwise.

The duty of the president of the United States and of the officers of the law is clear. Tlu* law must be enforced as they find it enacted by the people. To these courses of action we pledge our nominees.

The Republican party is and always has been the party of the Constitution. Nul-lification by nonobsenance by individuals or state action threatens the stability of government.

While the Constitution-makers sought a high decree of permanence, they foresaw the need of changes and provided f o r them. Article V limits the proposals of amendments to two methods; (1) Two-thirds of both houses of congress may pro-pose amendments; or (2) on application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the states a national convention shall be called by congress to propose amendments. Thereafter ratification must be had in one of I wo ways: (1) By the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states; or (2) by conventions held in three-fourths of the several states. Congress is given power to determine the mode of ratifica-tion.

Referendums without constitutional sanction cannot furnish a decisive answer. Those who propose them innocently are deluded by false hopes; those who propose them knowingly are deceiving the people.

A nation-wide controversy over the 18th amendment now distracts attention f rom the constructive solution of many press-ing national problems. The principle of national prohibition as embodied in the amendment was supported and opposed by members of both great political parties. It was submitted to the states by members of congress of different political faith and ratified by slate legislatures of different political majorities. It was not then and is now not a partisan political question.

Members of the Republican party hold different opinions with respect to it and no public official or member of the party should be pledged or forced to choose be-tween his party affiliations and his honest convictions upon this question.

We do not favor a submission limited to the issue of retention or repeal. Fo r the American nation never in its history has gone backward, and in this case the pro-gress which has been thus far made must be preserved, while the evils must be elim-inated.

We, therefore, believe that the people ahouH have an opportunity to pass upon a proposed amendment the provision of which, while retaining in the federal gov-ernment power to preserve the gains al-ready made in dealing with the evils in-herent in the liquor traffic, shall allow states to deal with the problem as their citizens may determine, but subject al-ways to the power of the federal govern-ment to protect those slates where prohi-bition may exist and safeguard our citi-zens everywhere f rom the return of the sa-loon and attendant abuses.

Such an amendment should be prompt-ly submitted to the states by congress, to be acted upon by stale conventions called for that sole purpose in accordance with the provisions of Article V of the Consti-tution, and adequately safeguarded so as to be truly representative.

No small town need slip backward unless the people of that town

want to let it slip

The people of Lowell are reminded that they need not lose their friends over any election, regardless of how important it may seem.

I t Is this very boystuff, unfolded, cultivated, de-veloped to its highest efflciency. It Is human personality made ready by fine growth and complete unfold-ment, cultivated and led and stlm-olated to Its greatest self-realita-tlon.

Yet parenthood is the only great fundamenial ly alfmlflcant vocation in our modern day for which no training whatsoever except ao-called "parental instincta" a r e required. W t a re moat rigidly par t icular , end rightly so, whom we allow to prac-tice medicine In our m ids t There most be yeara of thorough going training and then years of super-vised pract ice in hospitala before any man dares to adminis ter medi-cine to our physical selves.

BeautyTalks By MARJORIE DUNCAN

Famous Btahty Expert J Wrinkles Not Fashionable

WITH fashions so eternally youthful, with emphasis con-

tinually placed on beauty, wrinkles • r« definitely taboo. And If there Is one skin difflculty t ha t women dread above all o thers it is wrin-kles. Lines may be the result of squinting, they may be a sign of scowling or similar emotional atrain, they may signal "shoes of comfort-able proportions necessary"—but to the great army of women wrinkles stand fo r only one thing and they a re ever ready to war against them.

The cause lies within you. For, while it is t rue t ha t t h e very dry, delicate and f ragi le type of skin Is prone to line and wrinkle unless compensating nourishraer t and pro-tection is given to It, It is also t rue that rervona strain, eye strain, squinting, scowling, and emotional tension a re all contributing causes of wrinkles. The woman with the very thin, dry, sensitive skin is wise to t ake the proverbial ounce of pre-vention. You will find it in a Jar of nourishing cream—rich in delicate oils—truly a "preserving cream." When lines have definitely made their way around your eyes, or f rom nose to mouth, on the forehead, or on the neck, or around the chin, add before your cream a very soothing and penetrat ing oil.

"As easy as pie" is an ex-pression I remember children using when they mean "the easiest thing in the world." Pre-cisely that simple are the facial t reatments for erasing fine lines and wrinkles. Providing—and thereby lies the real root of the beauty secret—providing you help your beauty treatments along—from within.

Every facial expression sets the face in motion And overwork can cause more wrinkles In a mouth than a decade's ca lendars combined.

Time alone does not do such dam-age. Why the look of youth in a woman of fifty If t he calendar were real ' ^ruel? I t is in the skin—Its tone—its resistance—Its ability to stand overworking. And it is In habi ts of living and thinking. Obey tlw health rules and you make a fa i r bid for beauty. Think quiet, peaceful, beautiful thoughts and u calm, smooth exterior you will show the world. I am not advocating a perpetually placid expression. Too inane—tha t But allowing emotions to have f r ee reign and to leave their t races is folly—pictorially speaking. You have only to study your f ace in a fit of a n g e r ; In the depths of self-pity, worry, or t he well-known blues. Everything f a l l s (O. i m . Bell Syndicate.)—WNU Servlca.

A Peace-Time Hero

IN 1800 there died one of the most famous Americans of his day. H a

had received more honors dur ing his l ifet ime than any d t i sen of the United States ever had before. Con-gress voted him a special medal and Queen Victoria presented him with a Jeweled miniature of harself. He was buried with kingly honors In Westminster abbey. Later his body was carried to his own country and It was borne on England's finest warship. Now two American towns, an American college and museums at Harvard . Yale and Balt imore bear his name. Hla s ta tue s tands In the Hal l of F a m e a t New York university. Yet today It Is donbl-ful If one American in a hundred could tell even the principal fac t s about the life of George Peabody.

A nat ive of Massachusetts , he had been a farmer , a country store-keeper, one of America's first trav-eling salesmen and a soldier in the War of 1812 before he was twenty-one. Then he became a banker and In his thir t ies and fort ies estab-lished an internaiional banking house which obtained ID England the credit which pioneer America needed to develop Its vast resources. In financing the American expedi-tion to search for Sir John Frankiin, lost In the Arctic, he created a bond between England and America which greatly improved our rela-tions with that nation.

But the United States even more than England has reason to remem-ber him grateful ly because of his services as an educator and a phil-an th rop i s t To him more than any other man is due the credit of establishing the American system of public school education. H e did It by founding the Peabody education fund in what was then one-half of the s ta tes of the Union. The college in Nashville, Tenn., which bears his name Is a monument to his desire to t ra in teachers fo r public school work.

The Inscription under his c ta tue in the Hall of F a m e is the best an-swer to the accusation of "money mad America." I t reads "Looking forward beyond my stay on ear th I can see our country becoming rich-er and more powerful . But to make her prosperity more than superficial, her moral and intellectual develop-ment should keep pace with her mater ial weal th."

SPECIAL TIRE VALUES FOR

The Four th of July comes on Monday this year . That will bring two holidays togeth-er, and you will want to be equipped to take a nice little t r ip . Wha t would spoil a nice out ing more than tire trouble? Ten chanc-

es to one, it would also be expensive espe-cially if you had to purchase a tire on the road at the long price. Firestone Tires of-fer you more miles of safe driving than any

other tire made, and the cost NOW is very nominal . Yes, we will take your old tires in exchange. It just simply does not pay to

take any chances at the present cost of Fire-

stone tires.

We will gladly check your battery and tires—no charge.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOUR

MOTOR TUNED UP FOR THE HOLIDAY

DRIVE, OUR SERVICE WILL COST YOU

BUT VERY LITTLE.

YOU Must Tell The Customer

In Order to Sell Him The rea-son weekly newspaper advertising

is valuable is because people are by nature primari ly selfish. They are more interested in tl'.eir personal afTairs, those of their neigh-bor and close friends, than anyone else.

Hence the newspaper which gives them such news, often lo the exclusion of world news, is f a r more readable f r o m their stand-point than it would be otherwise. If it has reader interest, it means that the advertisers ' message is going to get a lot more attention than otherwise.

Briefly, you must tell the customer in or-der to sell him, but you cannot tell him in pr int unless you can get his attention and the p r imary interest mus t come f r o m news. If the local paper is the publication of the most interest, it is naturally the best vehicle for carrying the merchants ' message.

The merchant who has an opportunity to advertise in l is home-town paper, and neg-lects or refuses to do so. is merely passing up a ticket to much greater success than he has ever known.

The newspaper should be, and usually is, the best reflection of the community in which it is located and the business man, through his support , or lack of support , can make it either a delightfully live place or may leave it in the lethargic rut f r o m which it cannot emerge unaided.

Therefore, the newspaper must lead busi-ness through promotion and progressiveness. For that reason the newspaper man must have vision, imagination and above all a pre-dominat ing opt imism. If he lacks these qualties himself or in his organizaton, he might better lock up the shop and go into some other line of work, f o r under these circumstances neither he nor the town can

The "aearcher In the hayBtacks" Is the term given the telephone bf A. L. Dowoa in his column, "Dowen's Comment,H In a recent tasue of the Illinois Stale Journal, of Springfield. The telephone, says Mr. Bowon, ia the greatest modern searcher In the hs/btacki of the mllllona of Individuals who compose humanity—and tha mostsucceaetu!.

By way of Illustration, Mr. Bowen cites how he was called lo Chicago auddenly and had not re-ported It to his ofllce. A man In Cairo wanted to apeak to htm. The Cairo man called the office In Springfield. That office made In-quiry and told the man from Cairo that ha might find him a t a certain hotel In Chicago. Ths telephone sought him there, where he was registered hut not In.

Caught Up With Him at Lunch

Next, Inquiry waa made a t thk Chicago State Hospital, the Homa for the Blind, the Eye and Ear In-firmary, and other placea which he might be visiting, hut all to no avai l Finally at t h e Research and Educational Hoapltal U waa learned that the superintendent. Dr. Worth-Ington, expected to attend a dinner a t noon at his club—and there, an the nineteenth floor, In a small dining room, the seeker for the needle In the haystack found the man from Springfleld, and he then talked with Cairo.

Seldom Falla In Search

Commenting on this, Mr. Bowen wrote: -What a aystem, that a mil-lion times a day In these United Statea and the world hunts for naedlea and aeldom falls to flnd them. Think of tha aoorea of men and women who givo assistance In these hunta and of ths mllllona of dollars invested for the sole purpose ot .hunting naedlea In a haystack. Net one of those engaged In the aaarch that day knew me, had ever heard of ma, cared anything about me, but It was par t of their duty to find me, that somebody else, equally unimportant to them down In Cairo, might give me » message. And It waa all done for a few cents and in a few minutes. |

"If It weren't for these agendea which bring the needlea out of tha haystacks, thla country today would be a wlldernees. Transporta-tion and transmission of intelli-gence have given ua America. When these two slsves work for the rest of the world aa they have been working for these United States, then the earth will enjoy peace and th^ real fruits ot clvlllxatlon." .
