SAYS PASTOR
(ill RAT INCREASE IN CRIME HE
POINTS OUT LSING FIGURES
TO SHOW THE RESULT.
Data Gathered Here
By an Australian
That prohibition is not a failure
but a yood success was pointed out in
a recent sermon given by Rev. W. L.
Gelston, pastor (if the Presbyterian
church of this city, who baseil his ad
drcss on data compiled by Gilford
Gordon, secretary of the Victorian
Anti Liquor League, following a
study of conditions in this country.
The address which follows is highly
interesting to those who have been
working from either angle in regard
to prohibition: v
"Rev. 3 'Hold fast that which
thou hast, that no one take thy
crown."
"A statement which we frequently
hear is that prohibition in America
m a failure. It is made so often and
in so many different forms that even
thesc who believe heartily in the dry
cause are prone to wonder if it may
not be true. We forget that many
such assertions are a part of a very
carefully planned campaign of propa
ganda being worked out by the 'Wets,'
and have a scant basis of truth in
them.
"In view of thi.3 fact, I am happy
to be able to give you today the re
sults of prohibition in the United
States, as found by Mr. GilTord Gor
don, Secretary of the Victorian Anti
Liquor League, of Melbourne, Aus
tralia. Mr. Gordon was sent here
from Australia, a year ago to ascer
tain whether the prohibition law in
the United States is a success. Upon
his findings were the decisions of his
own fellow Australian workers to be
based. As an outsider he was in a
position to come to us and render im
partial judgment in regard to what
he finds. He has now been at work a
year, seeing ail classes of people, in
all sections of the land and as he
loaves our country he states unhesi
tatingly his conviction as follows:
"Now, after twelve months of thoro
investigation I am convinced that
prohibition in the United States has
succeeded. Moreover, I have collect
ed facts and statistics which support
the verdict, and which I believe will
be accepted as conclusive by any fair
minded, impartial judge."

BIG LOVE FESST
ARMORY IN ITHACA SCENE OF
A HIG JOLLIFICATION AND
CELEHRATION MONDAY.
Gratiot County Democrats, feeling
the most enthused of any time in
t lie history of the party in this
county, as a result of the election in
Gratiot, a week ago Tuesday, held
a big lovefeast and joy festival at
Ithaca in the Armory Monday even
ing, which was attended by all of
the Democrats and guests that
could be jammed into the building.
Three, long tables, the entire
length of the rcom were haded
down with tlrngs to cat-, and at each
place was a radu'nt, smiling figure,
happy over the election results and
cheerful over the pcssiblitics that the
future might hold. They certainly
believed in celebrating when the cel
ebrating is good and they did it good
end plenty.
The Democratic county candi
dates were there. Their friends
were there, and the directing heads
of the Democratic party in Gratiot
were there.
John T. Mathews of Ithaca, one
of the well known Democrats of the
cfunty, was the toastmaster. He
called on the candidates and they
responded with well chosen words.
W. A. Rahlkc of Alma, Archie Mc
Call and Ray McCall of Ithaca were
other speakers. All in all it was a
most enjoyable evening, in fact the
most enjoyable that Gratiot Demo
crats have ever had. And why not,
they had dented Gratiot- Republi
canism considerably, carrying the
county for Ferris and Cummins,
electing a member to the house of
representatives in the state legisla
ture and adding more by electing a
sheriff. In addition they added in
suit to the injury that- they had thus
done the Republicans by a reduction
of the Republican majorities for all
of the county offices where there
were contests. '

tion will open at the Michigan Ag
ricultural College on November 27,
running until Dee. 22, according to
announcement maJo by Ashley M.
Perridgc, assistant director of win
ter short course work at the college.
The truck and tractor courses,
tli? care and operation of a-l forms
of farm, gasoline power, have prov
ed increasingly popular during recent
years, ('.rawing large enrollment from
Michigan cities as well as from the
rural sections of the state. The
courses are open to all men of the
state over sixteen years of age.
Information regarding the courses
and admission may be had by writ
ing to DirccttjJ" of Winter Courses,

WAS SPEAKER AT HANQUET OF
I MIES 1 1 V TEH I AN BROTH Ell
HOOD HELD FRIDAY.
The first banquet- of the fall and
winter season of the Presbyterian
brotherhood was held in the Church
basement Friday evening, at whiih
the Honorable Edward J. Moindt,
ji.dge of the Clinton-Gratiot circuit,
was the speaker.
Judge Moinet's theme was an
especially appropriate one on the
eve of Armistice day, the subject be
ing "Duties of Citizenship," in which
he pointed out in no uncertain terms
some of the responsibilities of the
American people, among them being
oJeditnci' to law, respect for the con
stitution, responsibility for the
Americanization of the foreign ele
ment, etc.
Judge Moinet pointed out the
grave dangers of the segregation of
foreigners in our larger cities, with
its greater possiblities of taking to
I. W. W. propaganda and other un
American propaganda dangerous to
constitutional liberty in America,
i r i pointed out that- it was the duty
of every American to combat this
propaganda and also to use his best
iffortr, at the Americanization of the
toreign element.
He pointed out the evident desire
to shun jury duty, and the failure cf
'.he public to assist in gathering crim
iral evidence, in which respect the
people are not practicing what they
preach.
It was pointed out that- we have
plenty of missionary work to do at
home in cultivating a respect for law
rr.d a respect- for God. We must
be right within, he said, before we
can accomplish much good. To be a
good citizen, he indicated, a man
must have a respect for God, for gov
ernment and for the laws of the
country.
In closing he pointed out that
there is plenty of constructive work
for every loyal American in preserv
ing our country from the disaster
that inevitably follows lawlessness.
American citizenship carries with it
great privileges and great rcspon
riblities, he stated.
Joseph Winslow, was the chair
man of the meeting, which was fav
ored with some charming musical
selections rendered by Mrs. Harold
Moore. v
One of the features of the evening
was the name of a song placed at
each table, which those at the table
were asked to sing during the course
of the luncheon. Mayor Murphy's
table is reported as having carried
off the prize for the evening, no one
at his table being able to respond
with the song called for from his
table.
PLAN FOR WINTER TRAVELERS
The Pennsylvania Railroad has
placed in service the full winter sche
dule of "The Southland," its all-steel
train with through sleeping cars and
coaches from Chicago, Grand Rapids,
Cleveland, Columbus and Indianapolis
to Jacksonville. Beginning December
10, the Chicago sleeper will be oper
ated through to St. Petersburg.
It is anticipated that the Florida
travel this winter will be heavier than
in any previous season. Florida ho
tels are preparing to entertain a
large clientele who visit the penin
sula regularly; also many others who
will take a winter vacation in Florida
for the first time.
DIED ON WEDNESDAY
Mrs. James Blackford, a well
known resident of 'this city, passed
away Wednesday morning, death be
ing due to typhoid fever. The funer
al will be held Saturday afternoon at
2:C0 at the M. E. Church.
WO NET
BEET DELIVERY
T
INDICATIONS ARE THAT PRO
DUCTION OF IJEET SUGAR
WILL HE CURTAILED.
Railroad Cars Arc
Difficult to Get
The Alma Plant of the Michigan
Sugar company is experiencing con
siderable trouble in securing beet de
liveries so that the plant can operate
and the probability is that the plant
will not operate at more than half
capacity during the balance of the
run because of this fact. The past
several days little has been done ex
cept in the receiving sheds because of
the shortage of beets, but- operations
got under way again this morning.
A large part of the tonnage of the
beets that the company has had under
contract for the local plant this year
has been at such a distance from the
plant that it is necessary to ship the
beets to the factory by train, and a
great deal of difficulty is being ex
perienced in securing a sufficient
number cf cars in which to ship beets
to the factory from the various ship
ping points and weigh stations that
the company maintains through the
sugar beet growing district. It is un
derstood that the greatest difficulty
is being met in securing a sufficient
number of cars from the Ann Arbor
railroad.
Just what effect this is going to
have on the operations at the plant
is difficult to foretell at the present
time but unless the beets come in
much more rapidly than they have
been coming it will be necessary to
reduce the slicing to one-half capac
ity, working a hardship on the com
pany because of the increased over
head cost of manufacture as a result.
Make Appeal for
Refugee Garments
Gratiot County Chapter of Ameri
can Red Cross has just received an
urgent- call for both new, and use!
clothing, for refugees who have fled
from Smyra and other parts of Asia
Minor.
The call has come to every Chap
ter worker, both adult and Junior, in
the American Red Cross, asking that
clothing be sent at once to meet the
rppalling needs of the refugees in
Greece. As these refugees speak the
Greek language, they have been
taken by llritish, Ameri:an, French
and Italian ships and put ashore
either on the Greek mainland or the
Greek islands, of which many lie be
tween Smyrna and Greece.
The .able-bodied men among the
Greeks have largely been seized and
imprisoned, or have been driven into
the interior of Asia Minor, the re
sult being that the refugees for
whom help is now required consist
chiefly of women and children, with
a small percentage of feeble and old
men.
The types of clothing needed are
all kinds of warm serviceable, cloth
irg, including coats, suits, dresses,
underclothing, stockings, and shoes
for men, women, and children.
Anyone having out-grown or used
garments which can be contributed
to help meet this emergency are re
quested to send them, or phone Red
Cross Headquarters, P07, Ithaca,
Michigan, and they will be shipped
immcdiatey, per instructions from
the Division Office as the need is
great.

respected resident of this city for
many years, passed away Sunday,
November 12, at the home of a rel

. War Savings Stamps of the scries
of 1918 become due and payable on
January 1, 1923. The people who
bought these stamps will receive
their full face value redemption and
will find that the money they saved
five years ago has earned every
year about four per cent compound
ed interest. In order to afford hold
ers of war savings stamps an op
portunity to continue their invest
ment in a safe government security
the Treasury Department is offering
an exchange of War Savings Stamps
for Treasury Savings Certificates.
The certificates are issued in de
nominations of $2.r), $100 and $1,000,
maturity value, and sold for $20.50,
$S2 and $820, respectively. Holders
of War Savings Stamps can get
them ?t these prices upon applica
tion through their own banks or
their post offices. Exchanges will
be made as of January 1, 1923, upon
applications presented between No
vember 15, 1922, and January 15, 19
23. Immediate payment will be
made in cash of any difference due
the holder of War .Savings Stamps
if he takes the largest possible
amount of Treasury Savings Certif
ictes on the exchange.
The growing inclination of the
people to save and their desire to
find a safe reinvestment for their
money leads Treasury officials to
believe that a large part of the six
hundred million dollars in War Sav
ings Stamps soon to become due will
be exchanged for Treasury Savings
Certificates.-

Michigan Cow Ncars
World's Record Mark
Producing "r,:;.r51).." pounds of milk
in one year, a Michigan cow has just
broken all previous re-ords and is
said to have taken rani: as the sec
ond highest producer in the world.
The new record holder is Kolrain
Marion Finderne, a Hohs-tein-Fries-ian
owned and developed by the Loeb
Fanr.s of Charlevoix. She was
seven years old lat September, a
month before completing her great
record. Marion had already made
very creditable figures at an earlier
age, the recently announced yearly
record mark being the culmination
cfV hr-r outstiiiding pAxlu'tfon
achievements.
Supervision of tho record made by
the Charlevoix cow was handled by
inspectors under the staff of the
dairy division at the Michigan Agri
cultural College, and the official fig
ures on her record was released this
week by M. II. Gardner, of Delavan,
Wisconsin, Superintendent of Ad
vanced Registery for the United
States.
Fat contained in the .,r,S39.5
pounds of milk produced in rf." days
ending on October 2o, P.J22, totals
1,022.85 pounds. She freshened at
the age of six years, one month, and
eight elays, at the beginning of the
test. Twelve supervisors were cm
ployed in the conduct of the test,
27.r days of which were "strictly of-
ficial", with a supervisor constantly
in attendance.
The record of Kolrain Marion Find
erne ranks her as one of the great
est milk cows of all tLne, and is con
sidered as a distinct achievement for
Michigan dairy interests.

The nu.v.ber of deaths from cancer
in 1921 e:c'-ed.(l 1122 by 1D3 and is;
equivalent to a rate of K".. per 100,-'

tory of the state. Figures show that ,
cancer is not ce.nfincd to any uartic-,
ular ' portion "of the state but the 1
rural dhtricts show more deaths
than the cities. Of th total cancer;
deaths ll.X per cent occurred in j
rural districts, and the census shows
that only .') ! per cent of the popu- ;
lation of the state is termed "rural". ;

diers. During the same two years
Lw0,000 people died c-f cancer in this
country. Cancer is now killing one
out of every ten persons over 40
years of age. j
"Many of these deaths are j re
