Why thehs should the press/ of this
state go out of their' way to give of-
fense to this, class7of people for no
good reason^whatever?- Does a busi-
ness man catering to the trade of a
community spread disparaging reports
about one class of people or another
simply because they are not of his,way
of thinking in religious or political af-
fairs? If he does he will lose many
a 'dollar that he could earn" easily by
keeping his opinions to himself.
After the-war is over a great wave
of emigration from Germany to our
shores is likeiy to set in. Will the
Germans choose for their new liomes
>a state that, during the time they and
dheir brothers were fighting for
hearth, home and fatherland, has vili-
fied them, their country and institu-
tions?
Will they not rather locate in such
states where the present German pop-
ulation is predominant and where they
are sure of being welcomed with open
arms ?
We notice a spirit of fairness in
most of the press of Northern and
Western states. Had we. not better
follow their example? Two or three

ACTUALLY “THE FAMILY’S CAR”
For “Children’s Day” on Belle Isle
more than 20,000 Detroit youngsters
were recently transported across the
great bridge that connects the city
with its unique island park. For this
considerable task about 2,000 motor
car owners of Detroit offered their
services. Of these 2,000 cars about
1,300 were Fords. A noticeable feat-
ure was the absence of the big “high-
priced” cars. Perhaps the owners of

The condition of the cemetery at
Electra is a disgrace to our town. The
ladies of the Mothers’ Club have just
taken hold of this matter and spent
considerable time and money in mak-
ing the place more presentable and
less like a wilderness. Unfortunately
however, through neglect many of the
graves have sunken very badly, *it is
of course impossible for the ladies
to refill these graves.
The Commercial Club has therefore
taken this end of the task in charge
and has set tomorrow (Tuesday) af-
ternoon as the time to do this work.
The plan is to carry out to the cem-
etery in automobiles or other-vehicles
as many men as can be secured, each
man armed with a shovel or spade.
It will be comparatively easy for a
few men to soon fill up the graves and
have them in as good shape as they
were originally. The mothers have
made the cemetery their special
charge and once the men get it back in
proper condition the ladies intend to
see that it is kept that way.
It is hoped that every man in Elec-
tra who has an auto will join in this
work, and if you have no car you can
volunteer your services to he^p do the *
h work. The cars will start at 3 o’clock *
w*
E from the corner of Cleveland and Main
I; streets for the cemetery.
Mr. Ed Yarbrough and Secretary
jSV Carrington of the Commercial Club
|i are the committee to get volunteers
jf! to do this work, notify them or be on
pi hand at 3 o’clock to take part and do
your share. Apart from the respect
we owe the dead, the cemetery should
be restored to order for sanitary rea-
sons, and also as a matter of civic
pride in public institutions. Be on
1‘ hand tomorrow afternoon'and do your
share. d607
