SEES EARLY FINISH OF

DEER HUNTING UNLESS

WOLVES ARE DESTROYED

that Proctor Isright near at hand while others havebeen received from other states.The most recent clue which may or

may not have some significance Is onereported from Ohio. A lady who gaven girl, resembling Edna Fullager Inthe pictures used In the newspaper*and a man resembling Proctor, a rideIr. her car. haa written In about theaffair and has given particulars. ,

Wide, publicity has been given theProctor case thru the columns of thevarious newspapers In the state andcountry. Detroit and Chicago papershave made much of the affair gnd dif-ferent pictures of both Harr' B. Proc-tor and 14-year-old Edna Fullager,have been printed. -

One of the possibilities Is that Proc-tor may have left the state with thegirl as Indicated by the clue receivedfrom Ohio. In doing this he wouldhave had to dtapose of his car and Irorder to sell It his Identity wouldsurely be disclosed, If the fear were*nld through any ordinary channel. It'*» also Inconceivable that a man likeProotor would be able to go «n farhaving onlv the clothes he had whenhe left and with the small amount ofmoney he po-sewied according tothose who had seen him.

AUTOMOBILE TITLELAW IS EXPLAINED

Ludington. Nov. 28— Unless thepresent system is abolished and re-turn made to bounties for wolves theueer hunting will be a thing of thtpast within three years, says formerbtate Representative C. E. Kitsler,home from a stay of two weeks In theupper peninsula.

None of the members of our partysaw a doe,” he said. "The youngdeer had been killed by the wolvesand coyotes.

’’Neither did we see any of the trap-pers employed by the department ofconservation. Of course we spent ourtime in the woods, not in the hotels ofthe upperfpenlnsula. None of us sawa game warden either."The reason given for abolishing

the bounty on wolves wa* that Michi-gan was victimized by hides brotIn from Wisconsin and Minnesota. Thewolf heads brought <35 bounty. Onehunter who had a record of securing45 to 50 wolves each year tried toget a Job as state trapper," continuedMr. Kistler. "He didn’t land it. Hemay be a great hunter but JohnBaird didn't know him as a vote get-ter."

Automobile owners who have onlyan assigned certificate of title fromthe previous owner of their cars willnot be granted 1924 license plates un-til they have secured from the secre-tary of atate a certiflc_ate In their ownnames. Tne ruling of the Secretary olbtate has Just been received:

’’It Is very evident,” says the letter,"that there are thousands of motorvehicle title holders In the state whohave gn idea that a certillcate of titletransferred from the original ownerto the present holder entitled themto purchase 1924 license plates."License plates cannot, under the

law, be issued to this class of titleholders until they have secured fromthe secretary of state’s office at Lans-ing ,a certillcate of title In their ownname. This means that all assigned'lilies must be mailed to Lansing withthe statutory fee of <1, whereupon atitle will be Issued, and on presentalion of this new title license platesmay be Issued by any branch mana-ager.

"in other words, no license plateswill be issued until a title, not anassigned title, 1* presented with theowners application for registration,except on new curs purchased from adealer within ten days of presenta -

lion of application."

octor King was standing behind

hla desk, his (nee white, one handplaying nervously with the papers In

front of him. He atarted at each vividflash of lightning and the thunderseemed to dare him. Turning to thedistrict attorney, and shaking halfto him and half to the room, he said :

“I ̂ hlnk we should adjourn the in-quest until tomorrow. The storm isso had that I doubt if we can hear thetestimony of the other witnesses.”

HJs decision seemed to be very sen-jelble. We had been unable to hear'the close of the butler’s evidence be-

icause of the thunder, and I doubted ifany hut those In the front seats wouldbe able to hear the witnesses that'were still to be called. The -districtattorney objected, however, to adjourn-

ing. He said that he could not be pres-ent the next day, and thought thatwe had better hear the remaining wit-nesses at dnee. Sinking back into his

chair. King asked the attorney whomhe wonted to call next.The district attorney rose to his

feet, saying slowly, "I am going tocall BriTeur, who was chauffeur forMr. Slyke. He will— VBut whatever he was going to add

we never discovered. Just at thatsecond there came a terrific flash oflightning that seemed to burn Itk wayacross the room, followed by a deaf-ening clap of thunder. With a slatlethe lights went out and left the roomns block as the Inside of a coal mine.

Low murmurs came from all sides. Itwas enough surely to try the nervesof the most stout-hearted.

As the rumble of thunder diedaway, I heard King demanding, In avoice that shook a little, “Will some-

body get a light— lamps or candles?”Someone pushed hack a chair, and

then suddenly,/ rising above all elseand ringing through the room with ahorror that seemed to glue me to myaeat, came a shriek of terror. It waasustained for a second, then diedaway In a long, sobbing moan.

CHAPTER X

doctor King was assisting Ruth torestore her aunt to consciousness. Asfor Bartley, myself and Black, whohad come forward, we had eyes fornothing but the silent figure of thechauffeur.

Doctor Webster opened his coatand examined the wound. Then, when

he had turned back his eyelids andfelt his pulse, he slowly shook hishead and said to Bartley: “He can’tlive more than five minutes. Theknife reached, his heart.”

“Will he recover consciousness be-fore he dlea?” Bartley asked,

i “I can’t say.' He might, for a mo-ment.'’

I tried to raise one hand, but the effort

j was too much for him and his eyesclosed again. When he opened thema second time, he seemed to recog*

nlze Bartley and gave him inch anappealing look that he bent closer. His

eyes had begun to glaze and his face

to take on a waxen hue. Though hislips moved feebly, no words camefrom them. Then, with a final effort,he gathered up what little- strengthhe had left, and, In a voice so lowwe could hardly distinguish the words,he stammered forth, “The— robbery-robbery. Those men— Innocent, ask-boy.”

His voice died away and his eye-lids sank ; then he opened them again

and gasped, "The — boy— he knows."I saw Bartley’s face lighten, but

he did not speak. Briffeur lay so still

that we thought he had ceased tobreathe; but. as the doctor started to

. . Sudden Death.For • moment after the cry had

died away the only sound to be heardwas the dashing of the rala againstthe windows and the lashing of the

trees outside. Everyone waa too star-tled and frightened to move. I feltBartley’s hand on my arm, his Angers•Inking deep Into my flesh. TTien the•pell was broken, and meo asked eachother In excited whispers what hadhappened.

The cry had seemed to come fromthe front of the room. It had beenone of horror, dread and surprise, asIf the person uttering It had met with•orae unexpected and awful experi-ence. It had been a man’s voice, and

I wondered whosplt could have been.

"Come on, Pelt.”Bartley pushed back his chair and

half dragged me to my feet We start-ed to grope our way between thechairs toward the place from whichthe cry had come. The room was stillIn darkness and our progress was veryslow. Then the lights began to flicker

very dimly, and suddenly flashed on•gain in all their power.

At first glance, there seemed to bendihlng wrong; then I noticed thatKing was bending over his desk, Ids

face dead white, his eyes fixed onsomething on the floor in front ofhim, and fear -showing in every fea-ture. I realized suddenly that thechauffeur's chair was empty, and thatRoche was on his knees before someobject Miss Potter, who had alsobeen staring at the floor, fainted andfell sidewise Into the arms of herniece. Then I saw what was the mat-ter : the chauffeur was lying on thefloor, with his face white, and hiseyes closed.

Bartley dropped to his. knees besideRode and gave one searching look•t the man, then stratgh|ened up witha queer expression pn his face. Hepointed silently to the chauffeur. Onhis brown coat, slowly darkening and

widening, was a splotch of blood, andfrom his breast protruded the hilt of

• knife.For a moment my head swam. Only

a short time before the lights hadgone out the chauffeur had had a self-confident sneer on his face; now hewas lying on the floor, white and still,a knife' In his breast. Another murderhad takpn place In Slyke’s house, andthis ̂ tlme In a room crowded withpeople.

The district attorney and DoctorWebster had by now reached our side,and the doctor knelt down by thechauffeur. With a glance at the ex-cited crowd pushing Its way towardus, Bartley suggested to Roche that

he dear the room of all but the fam-ily. It was not until he had calledsome of his men te his aid that hewas able te make the excited spec-tators obey MS' orders and withdra®,

“I— Killed — "

p, and Bartley put his arm unde»him. Mflth eyes flashing, he cried Ina loud voice, "Slyke-^mur-murdered.I—" His arm rose from his side andpointed straight ih front of him, hisfinger almost touching Doctor Web-ster, who gazed down at him, puzzled“I— killed— " The chauffeur’s voicebroke; his lips ceased to move; and.without even a sigh, his head fellback. The chauffeur would nevyr•peak again. '

Silently we rose to our feet, andstood looking down at the dead man.We were’ all too overcome by what

Obtaining world peace occupied theattention of the Woman’s LiteraryClub Tuesday afternoon, the two fav-orite schemes being fully discussed.Mrs. G. J. Van Duren In a clear,

concise talk on the League of Natiouspoke of thq growth of the Mfta ofa league, of Its organization and Uaconstitution. The most objectionablearticle of the covenant to the American people la that which gives thomembers of tfhe Leagde power tocombine against the nation which retufe* to comply with Its decrees. Itis the method of dealing with man-Uute lands that to also a subject ofdoubt.The present struggle between Ralyand Greece will tnrow light on theability of the League to handle vitalinternational disputes. Mrs. Van Dur-en concluded With the thought that «belter international peace agencymust be found, and suggested that theWorld Court would be more practicaland Would certainly deprive us of noneof our rights.Mrs. James Wayer, after showing

that our boasted natlunad Isolation Islargely mythical, and that, therefore,toe question of world peace is os•much our concern as Europe's, dis-cU.ised the World Court as the mostpractical step to (take toward winningIt.

The World Court haa long been anAmerican idea and it was largelythrough our efforts that the Permanent Court of arbitration was established by the Hague Conference.Many think that the idea of an

International court of jurisdictionstill theoretical, hut such a court, estanlished by the League and ratifiedby thirty-six nations, has been In operatlon since 1922 at the Hague. Thiscourt is composed of fifteen memberS, our representative being JohnBassett Moore. The body is presidedover by the Holland member.Mrs. Wayer refuted the three moat

popular objections to tho World Court.The fact that it was establishedthe League of Nations In no way hin-ders its activity, for u nation may bea member of the Court and notthe League. The Court has, of courseno power to enforce Its verdicts butthoa compulsion of public opinion willmake the observance of ita decrees apoint of national honor, when theC ourt has won the public's confidence.The’ third objection, that the Courtcannot stop war nor have any effectupon It, is llferally true, but It doesterm the framework on which the Ideaof peace can be built, and until wo es-tablish the machinery of peace, warcannot bo outlawed.A resolution, endorsing former

a great extent in making the willow

These have grown and a good-ly growth of small bush sprouts marksthe spot where once there was bar-reh sand.The work in planting sand blows in

Otthwa county has been done underMr. Mllham'e direction for over uyear. The hrst work was done on theHarlem sand blow near Holland andexcellent results were obtained.

10GAL MEMBER OFLEGILATURE LEAVES

FOR BIG POW WOWState Representative G. W. Kooy-

-ers has left for Lansing to attend aspecial session of the legiuiature thatconvened Tuesday.Indications are that the session will-consider nothing but apportionment ofthe- legislative districts and highwayfinance.There is little hope in state circles

that the legislature will come to aneasy agreement either on re-appor-tionment or highway finance. Thegovernor believes that it will re-ap-portion the legMiauve districts andgive Wayne some .ncreaee in repre-sentation. He uoos not, however,think that the ou.^.ate members willpermit any re-ariaiigement to giveWayne ten senators and 30 or morerepresentatives, as has been suggest-ed by Senator Arthur E. Wood of De-troit The opinion generally held bya majority of atate officials and mem-bers of the legislature Is that if"Wayne Is given an inCtease it will beat the outset from two to four sena-tors and from four to six representa-tives. About a dozen plans of reap-portlonment have been suggested intentative bills. There is considerable-diversity in their makeup.

Representatives from outside dis-tricts which would lose representa-tion by given Wayne an Increase arenaturally strongly opposed to achange. Other districts which are onthe border line between one and twoor two and three will seek their max-imum representation. It appears cer-tain that no plan of re-apportionmentwill be adopted without long discus-sion.

Highway finance presents almost Sgcomplicated an aspect. The govern-or Is in favor of a gasoline tax w^th

POPULAR HOLLAND.FA8T0R,LEAV£S

FOR CHICAGORev. M. H. Kingsbury, for the past

hve years pastor of the Wesleyan

Methodist church hero, left Monday

evening for Chicago to take a posi-tion in the extension department of

the Moody Bible Institute. Rev. Mr.

Kingsbury Sunday announced to his

congregation that he had accepted the

new position and said that he had

tendered his resignation to the offi-

cials of the congregation.

The resignation came as a surpriseto Mr, Kingsbury’s many friends inHolland, both those in his own con-gregation and many others not con-nected with his church. Recently theMoody Bible Institute investigatedthe record of the local pastor andfeund that during his little more thanfive years’ work here his church hadmore than doubled in fnembership.It was also found that the latest fin-ancial report showed more than dou-ble the amount of the report made attho close of Mr. Kingsbury's firstyear of work in Holland.This splendid showing decided tht

Moody Institute to make a bid for Ithe Holland man’s servlets with thertbult that tho necessary arrange- |ments were made. Because of thesuddenness of the change however,Rev. Kingsbury will continue to con-duct the Sunday services until thetime when the church will secure anew pastor. He will spend his weekdays in Chicago and come here fortho Sunday services. His resignationwill officially take effect on Feb. 1. InChicago he will be a fixture in theWoody Bible Institute office and hewill be connected with extension workalthough there will be no travelingconnected with the new position.Mr. Kingsbury started hie work as

a pastor in Hillsdale county after at-tending college at Houghton, N. Y.He was at Hillsdale for two years,then at Allendale for four years ,andin Holland for a little over five years.

It’s a clay trail which with alittle travel would become Impassable.But the Ottawa Road Commission isnot going to let the detour go withthis possibility looming. Instead laatweek a steam shovel started workgrading the one mile of bad townshiproad. Following It gravel will bespread.

large audience in Carnegie Hall Mon-day evening with a combination oftwo lecture recitals, "The Poet ofLockerbie Street" and "Jean Baptisteand His brethren." It was the clos-ing number of the Hope College Lec-ture course and waa one of the mostsuccessful of the course from theviewpoint of popularity.In "The Poet of Lockerbie Street,"

the reader gave a number of thepcems of James Whltomb Riley aswell as the underlying philosophy ofRiley’s life. Mr. Amsbary was formany years an intimate friend ofRiley and often visited the modesthome of the poet In Lockerbie streetIn Indianapolis. Pefhaps the keynoteof this part of the address was thestatement that there Is a great differ-ence between a commonplace poet anda poet of the commonplace. Amsbarydescribed Riley as belonging to thelatter class.

In “Jean Baptiste and his Breth-ern," Mr. Amsbary gave some read-ings of his own dialect poems, some ofthem from a volume already printedand others from a forthcoming vol-ume. They humorously describedFrench-Canadian characters of an Ill-inois village on the Kankakee river.« . _ _ __ - -f*

St. Louis University Is offering $6foi the best set of varsity yells sub-

i milted by any student In the Univers-ity. The requirements are that theytahall be snappy, lively, peppy, up-to-«iate. and the "knock-Zem-dead kind."

The city controller of Grand Rapidsaye the balancing of the city’s booksto always Interferred with by the factthat the school teachers do not cashAhelr salary checks promptly. So.many school teachers, as we know,•take salaries Just as a matter of form,stuvway.

Nearly every city nowadays holds a•poultry show. Chickens are broughtout In their best garb and placed<ltoplay. They are well fed and seemto have the time of their lives. It Justhows the advancement.

Since last Saturday the Holland Inerurban has been having severairunge men in their crews as the r^ult of a walkout on the part of some.\enty conductors and motormen who.aim that an agreement has Ot-eu viu-utd by the company.Mr. Blown, general superinlenden

» Grand Rapids contended that the.en had no right to Walk out leav-ig the cars unmanned, according ton agreement, until thely grievances.•ere finally decided by a board of ar

' dlraiors Ift.

According to the officers of the Rol-and local union an endeavor has been.nude to settle the difficulty, but thatjp to this time no opportunity was,jlven to come to an understanding.Local men contend that If given

chance, an amicable settlement 1spossibility.

A local committee of the men, It tounderstood, has gone to Jackson tolake the matter up with headquarters,and they may have something to re-port.

The grievance seems to be that menwere taken from paasenger runs dur-ing the same day and then placed onI* eight runs also during that day, anuaccording to the oificers of the localunion, this Is not according to theagreement. They contend that any mana.urtlng out on a passenger run is sup-posed to hold that run for ten hours,and not part time passenger and partJme freight during the same day,which they claim meanB a lot of ez-ira work for them besides changingcf clothes, etc.The officers of the local union state

that they haven’t given their aide ofthe case thus far and ask that thefollowing publication be printed:"A few weeks ago the Holland In-

lerurban company Included in its listsof runs going into effect two orthree days afterward a combinationfreight and passenger run betweenHolland and Saugatuck, which is inviolation of our contract with thecompany We remonstrated with th*officials of the company and theychanged this run to conform with theagreement originally mado."When the next signup came Into,

effect thu same combination freightand passenger run was included in

i the schedule, naturally again in vio-lation of the standing agreement. An

! cording to the signup the schedulea as to go into effect last Saturday.

uted largely to this monument whichstands a8 a memorial to a belovedchief executive.The local committee when organiz-

ed will ask contributions freely givenby the senool children Of Holland offive cents and up, although only verysmall individual amounts are expect-ed. ,

Grownups are expected to give adollar and more up to two lultors ifthe spirit moves.

It is not so much tfie size of theamount as the number of persons whodonate their mite towards this mon-ument to be erected In honor of ourlate president.These small amounts will be coming

trem the little children and their el-ders from <*very state in the unionand no doubt that a nickel collecUvelyfrom each school student In the nationand a larger amount from-.i thegrownups will make quite a sunvfprmonument building.

Please note that it la the thoughtPresident Coolldge has given ap-

proval to a recommendation for anappropriation of about $20,000,000for specially designed craft to be usedin the Coast Guard eervice. $8,600,-000 additional for maintenance andpersonnel will be sought of Congress.U is planned to Increase the numbercl commissioned officer*' from 396 to716 arid the enlisted personnel from4,051 to 7,122.and desire of those Interested loerect at Marlon, Ohio, a mausoleum-substantial, stable, enduring — at thelowest reasonable cost, and on prop-erty which will* be selected by Mrs.Harding as a fitting location.Heretofore it has been the custom

to keep the things made interestingand important by asspclatlon withthe lives of the Presidents, In themausoleums co which *adi remainswere consigned. This is not consid-ered desirable in the case of Presi-dent Harding.

Since the family residence at Mar-lon, Ohio, which was occupied for somany years by the President, has al-ready become a place of historic in-terest, where many visitors call dailyto pay tribute to their fellow coun-tryman and to learn of the simplicityor his life from his place of abode,and the perpetuation of the old home^eems essential and most fitting.

Mementoes and SouvenirsThere have been so many interest-

ing mementos and souvenirs of var-ious kinds presented to PresidentHarding, and there are so many ex-piessions of love and appreciation,and so many books and records ofeuch importance accumulated by thefamily, that it is thought prudent thata gPeclal fireproof building be erectedin which to place them. This struc-ture, in connection with the residence,will become the Harding Shrine andwill be kept in perpetuity as a placeof interest and inspiration to all whovtoit it.

Educational FeatureAs one of the greatest accomplish-

ments of his administration, Presi-dent Harding felt that nothing wasmore Important and more satisfyingthan the injection of business intogovernment, and he declared only 'ashort time before his death that noth-ing in his administration gave himmore satisfaction or Joy than his ser-vice in bringing together in co-ordln-ation and co-operation variousbranches of the government.

that even Job's children held a family

velopment of the same idea.

COMPARES RESORTSTO WOMAN WITH A

BAD NAME

Judge J. C. Everett, of Wau kazoo,

In a letter to the Holland Exchange

club, said that the Black Lake re-

sort* In their relation to Holland's

sewage problem are " like a charming

woman whose character is made or

Hasted not so much by whatihe Is as

by what people say of her." Judge

Everett declared that he did not be-

lieve that the waters of Black Luka

aie polluted anywhere near the vi-

cinity of the resorts, but they have

the reputation and so the resorts suf-

fer Just aH much as If they were.

After reciting the past history ofthe sewage problem and how It Is hurtlug the resorts and the city of Hol-land, Judge Everett continued:

"l am advised by Mr. McBride thatthe city of Holland has made tests ofthe waters of Black Lake and theyprove that the pollution does not extend further west than King's dock.But this Information Is kept secret al-though if disseminated It would savethe reputation of the Bay. Why is

It not published f? Is It because thecity has received the magnificent gittof a park site at that point and itdoes not want to advise the generousdonor that It is destroying Its beautyby poisoning the waters about It? Ordoesn't the city care to gave the repu-tation of the Bay at the expense ofproving Its own stupidity?"You see these are hard questions

to answer. You see the resort devel-opers struggling to build them up andthey have so far succeeded that theecuth shore of Black Lake as far usMacatawa has become a suburb ofHolland and will some day be a partof the city. bummer cottages aregiving way to permanent homes, dueto the good roads and the automobileBut the attraction that is doing thebusiness is Black Lake while HollandIs doing what she can to destroy It

The resorts are a part of Holland’stuslnew life. They bring large sumsof money to Holland every summerwhich remains there. They shouldbe supported or if not that theyshould not be handicapped.#‘You men all know thlo — I amtalking to a body of friends as afiiend. I like Holland because youmen are In It. I know we have yoursupport. I know you can do the ne-cessary things. You can publish theInformation you have showing the ex-tent of the Bay pollution — that iseasy. Will you do It?"You can put through the sewage

disposal system. Will you? Or doyou want the State to do Itf"You know that pleasure boats

coast'd coming to Holland five yearsego because of the sewage In Blackiher and the sewers empytlng direct-ly Into the bay. Go down to the Gra-ham & Morton dock and look at thewater the stranger sees upon his ar-rival. Tell him fiah won’t live in it

and tell yourselves the cause."You all want to push Holland for-

ward. You are late,, but not too late.Grand Hapids and Flint are facta, butthere Is room for another. I havepointed out one of the necessary steps^ ou do not want Holland to be avoid-ed as a peast hole."

The Exchange club Wednesdaynoon at its regular meeting tackled

the sewage disposal question. Mr.

Frank Whelan started the program

with a lively paper on the subject of

sewage disposal In general and on the

situation In Holland In particular. Mr

Whelan discussed conditions he Is ac-

quainted with in the East with re-

spect to New York and other Eastern

cities and he also gave some word

pictures of conditions on and around

Black Lake. He referred to the ar-

ticle on the sewage question contrlb-

Xq jaiumns jsut uodvd luooi ot pajnMr. Dean Bergen.

"Since this prophetic article,” hecontinued "we have a pestilence, andonly wholesale vaccination preventeda real calamity for Holland.’****Somefour years ago. a commission Inves-tigated conditions In Black Lake andreported on them to an advertisedmeeting. At this meeting about sixtywere present , one-half of one per centot the entire population of Holland.Not much Interest shown In such avital matter. One point made by themlitands out In my memory and thatwas that they had obtained a cultureot colitis germs from water takenfrom Black Lake near Gold’s PointInfections of eyes and ears are com-mon from swimming in polluted wa-ters, and yet, Ignoring the report ofthis commission and with the dis-charge from scarlet fever and diph-theria patients mingling with theother filth swimming was permittedand even encouraged in Holland nearthe old King property. Then sine?email pox appeared and' added Itsquoto to the inected area, fish haveteen caught from the boat dock andpresumably at least, eaten. Can wewonder thot filth disease still persistsIn the city?"When the founders of Holland

chose the present site for the cltv.they chose wisely and well. Therecould be no better location for athriving and prosperous community.Black Lake Is not only a very beautlful body of water, but Is a splendidprospect commercially. It Is a grandharbor, and situated as it Is. on a dlrcct line from Buffalo and Detroitto the growing markets of the west.It is the logical point through whichthe shipments from these Industrialcenters will finally be routed. Witha prospect such as this, even If therewas no other urge, It would seem thatmoney spent In keeping the greatnatural harbor clean would be wiselyInvested. For as a city grows the nat-ural accretion In value of property Isvery great and is shared by every onewho owns a home. When Hollandcomes Into its own. ns It surely will,and assumes the poltlon commerciallythat Its natural advantages and its In-dustry will achieve, what a fine feel-ing It will be to know that we takethe appointed place with a city physi-cally. ns well ns morally clean."What would the new sewer mean

to Holland7 It would mean that ourcitizens and our visitors could batheIn any part of Black Lake withoutfear of Infection.

It would mean an Increase of prop-erty values throughout the entire city.

"It would mean a growing colonfof summer visitors.

. "It would mean more profitablebusiness for our merchants.

"It would mean that Kollen Park,the finest gift the city has ever re-:ceived would become a place forpleasant, healthful recreation, a vitalasset to the town.

"It would mean that our children’schildren would Inherit a beautifulbody of clean water and not a ct«s-pcol.

"It would mean that every citizenof Holland ̂ Could hold hibkjieud erect,calm in the thought that he hud ac-

| compilshed his full share In making| the city of his dreams the finest, hap-| pleat, healthiest city In all of West-ern Michigan."At the close of Mr. Whelan’s paper,

C H. Me Bride gave a talk on thelegal aspects of the pollution ofBlack Luke by sewage, saying that acase could unquestionably be madeagainst the city of Holland on. tillsscore. It. B. Champion gave a clear-cut resume of the report made oy theengineers who Investigated thio ques-tion a year or two ago.

There has been an idea abroad fora long time that the present smallpoxepidemic in Holland and other diseasewaves that the city has suffered weredue to the city's sewage conditionsThis idea was given expression at themeeting of the Exchange Club onWednesday noon by more than oneand it has frequently been cltled inother discussions about the epidemic.Health Olflcer Godfrey who was* a

guest at the Exchange club, deniedpositively and categorically that therewon any connection between the two.In the first place small nox Is notppread that way but by personal con-tact. Further to prove that the sewage problem has nothing to do withthe disease conditions here Dr. God-frey pointed out that Holland has nothad a case of typhoid In six years, andtyphoid is the one disease more thanany other that might be expected tospread because of water conditions.There are plenty of other argu-

ments for the necessity of a sewagedisposal plant without dragging In anunnecessary one that cannot bo sub-stantiated by the facts.

pVERYONE who drives a Studebaker Special-Six marvels at theease with which it steers.

Hus is due to three things: The use of Timken tapered rollerbearings on the steering pivots j the easy-operating, exclusive Studebaker

steering gear and a minimum of unsprung weight on the front axle.

Hre Studebaker Special-Six transmission, differential, rear axle, andall four wheels are also completely equipped with Timken bearings.

No other touring car priced under $5600 uses as complete in.stallation of Timken bearings as the Special-Six.

This is an example of the quality that is built into every detail of

the Special-Six. Studebaker spares no expense to make it the market’soutstanding value in a five-passenger car.
