IS A GOOD MOTTO.

Editor Ledger: 1 was much interested in your articlc in laal week's Ledger regarding the way householders a re Imposed upon toy s t rangers soliciting funds f o r various projects , (many of which exist only in the stranger'it mind,) and by peddlers who a re adept at disposing of *their wares upon an uninformed public. I n this con-nection I wonder if i t would not be worth whi le to also warn your readers about the "p ic ture f rame game" which seems t o be worked about every so often. Under this scheme the "sales-m a n " asks for photographs from which "a free oil pa in t ing" will be made. These an- fo r "adver-t i sement" only, as the por t ra i t paint ing conmany "wil l soon es-tablish an ofticc here." Ail you a re asked to do is to take the ^•free pa in t ing" and hang J t on your wall and tell your f r iends who did thr job. The salesman depar ts—with your photographs . After the "sule" has been made, you inspect thi- " rece ip t" fo r t h e photographs. You iind that "hang-m g the paint ing" obliges you to buy a f rame, 10 by 16 inches True, you bnve signed nothing, and havi- paid no money. You have, however , lot your photo-graphs go. What to do. i n 10 days, "an ar t is t" calls to get the preliminary- information on your hair , eyes, complexion, and the like. Be has not the photogrgphs of courae.

"Now, if you will pay half t h e cost of the f r ame rignt now. . . " (The "receipt" for the photo-graphs says th'U you will pay half this cost when the "arMsf" calls, the other half paid on delivery.), Some people have apparent ly been paying for these f rames. l i t - ' l ie infofmat inn on Ihe price of these fcameh can be had by rea-son of the fact that few people complain to authort t ies a f t e r the <leal is completed. 1 know one w o m a n who apparent ly changed h e r minfl about i t and wanted he r photogniphs back. T h e re-covery was accomplished only af-ter a great volume of correspond-ence aQd pressure.

The salesman, however , will say little or nothing about the frame. The game is not to sell oil painliiigs, but to sell p ic ture f rames . The only warn ing is t o find out, before you let your pho-tographs go. just what the f r a m e will cost, or the highest pr ice at least. This will be manifest ly impossible, for the salesman, or woman .

His nearest neighbor on the south side of the r iver was Mr. Strong, who lived 2Mj miles west and north . Mr. Buttrick was h is nearest neighbor north, but was across the river and a litth* west, about 1% miles.

There was a well-beaten trail made by the Indians coming from Lowell and going southwest across th is fa rm t o Whitneyvllle. and on south f rom there . This trail was still plainly visible a s late as 1K70.

There was u squaw came along one day who had a darn ing needle and wanted t o "swap Houie," meaning that she wanted to trade t h e needle lor flour.

HISTORY R E P E A T S M > E L F

Writing of the colonization of Virginia in 1613. John Marshall said: "Heretofore no separate property had been acquired, and no individual had labored for himself. The lands had been held, cleared, and culthaled in common, and their produce carried into a common granary. Industry, deprived of its d'iC reward, felt no sufficient stimulus

public supplies were to the public necessi-

ties. To remove this cause of perpetual scarcity. Sir Thomas Dale divided a consid-erable portion of land into lots of three acres and granted one of them in full property to each individual. Industry, impelled by the certainly of recompense, advanced with rapid strides: and tbe inhabitants were no longer in fear of wanting bread, either for themselves, or for the emigrants from Eng-land."

Now a press dispatch from Russia, where the common ownership system has been in effect, says; "A new proposal to empha-sise the dictum of 'only those who work may eat* was presented to the all-union congress. I'nder the new scheme the commissariat of agriculture said the most difficult question--equalization of labor—was expected lo be answered by introduction of the 'piece wort ' system in more than 85.000 collectives. The standard of wages mill be fixed in either money or commodities so the man who works hard will receive more than the man who does not."

The moral is that economic laws are fixed and unchangeable. Even the country which b earning on the greatest socialistic experi-ment in history cannot do away with the urge, which has been a part of human nature since the damn of civilization, to reap the re-ward of one's own industrv and abilitv.

VIEWS AND REVIEWS

"Wbat They Say WbcCber Rigbt ar W r M g "

John Galsworthy. British author: "Half-truth is t ic devil himself.

RUINCDS "ECONOMY" A primary reason for the magnitude of

fire loss in the I'nited States is the inade-quacy- of building laws in many communi-ties. coupled with a false sense of economy on Ihe part of builders.

The sort of "saving** that builds without employing the most fire-resistive construc-tion and materials, really amonnts lo waste. Second-rate construction may save a few dollars here, a few more dollars there—and it may be the means of destroying property valued at thousands of dollars and invalu-able lives.

The National Board of Fire Underwriters has created a building code, most cf whose provisions should be incorporated in the codes of all cities and towns. It is said that the success achieved in holding down fire waste in a number of European cities is largely due to the strictness and adequacy of their building codes. America has the money and skill lo build homes and build-ings that come as dose to being fire-proof as is possible—but the fallacious idea of econ-omy often stands in the way.

There are few American communities which do not house one or a thousand fire-traps—buildings w hose very existence is a constant menace to all property in the neigh-borhood. They may even—as the Chicago and San Francisco fires demonstrated—men-nace an entire city. Likewise, there are few communities, aside from half a dozen metropolises, which are free of dry fields such as that which was responsible for the great disaster in Berkley, Californk. Con-ditions like these show why our half billion dollar annual fire waste is almost a thing lo be expected.

I NEED_raE>CHURCH To say that I do not need it is mere brava-

do. 1 needed it when my father died; I needed it when our babies were taken from us; and 1 shall need it again, sooner or later, and need it badly. 1 cannot quite convince myself that the millions who have upheld the church were and are fools, and that all unbelievers are wise and right. So I attend church where I can, and do for the church what I can, because I believe in it. Il has been Ihe source of inspiration and strength and comfort and we should be ingrates and fools lo desert il now. Criticised and belit-tled, ridiculed aud mocked as it is. the church still stands for the finest in our thought We cannot afford lo join ourselves to the great number of non-church-going people, because we see no hope in what they advocate. We can not tell where they lead us. They are trying to lead us and our chil-dren into license and debauchery, into a cruel struggle for existence here on earth and to a hopeless deathbed at last. As for me, I love tbe habitation of Thy house and the place where Thine honor dwelleth.—Ed-gar A- Guest

Somebody says tbe old-fashioned art of ffrfyMinring isn't what it used to be; thaFs r ight everybodv nowadays wants to be a friend of everybody else, including crimi-nals, crooks and grafters.

Henry Van Dyke, author: "In human affairs there is always, some-

how, a slight majority on the side of reason."

"If, despite my views, tbe legis-lature still adheres to its position, an aveaoe for carrying its will into effect is provided by tbe coa-stHufion. Tne measure is now, therefore, strictly in your hands for decision."

Leaders ia both houses were divided as lo wbat the kgislatare would do, with tbe majority seeming to favor tbe idea that there were enough roles avail-able lo pass tbe nul l tax over the veto.

A "friendly gestare** lo relieve tax laden deiinquents came in to Ihe form of the Miller-McBride bill, signed by the Governor, can-celling interest and penalties on taxes delinquent for 1929 and 1930. This was to encourage delinquents to pay between aow

Extra Scannn Uapopalar Hints that GOT, Brucker might

call a special session of tbe legis-lature in tbe event tbe tax prob-lem is not settled satisfactorily served to renew tbe effort to find new sources of reveone. Tbe legislators seem fairly w e l l agreed that a special sessioa is not popular.

Speaking of mountain driving. Mr. Bowser says:

"It is not all difficult to traverse them. We made them all on high except the Continental Divide., There we had to shift but once, you can go down most of them very nicely on high without mak-ing much use of the brakes. The roads over them were dry andi good and a? all places wide! enough to pass a car. We are in easy sight of them here. They are snow-capped and seem only a mile away, though it is 12 miles." I

E X C E S S acid Is the common caust of indigestion. I t results in pain nnd sourness about two hours after eat-ing. The quick corrective is an alkali which neutralizes acid. The best corrective is Phillips Milk of Mag-nesia. I t has remained standard wit l physicians in the 50 years since iti invention.

One spoonful of Phillips Milk o! Magnesia neutralizes instantly many times its volume in acid. Harmless, and tasteless, and yet its action is quick. You will never rely on crude methods, once you learn how quickly this method acts.

"Black Jack" S h o w s the W a y A vote of the A. E. F. to name

its most distinguished appearing soldier wonld reveal a formidable candidate in the person of Gen. John J. Pershing.

Not only was "Black Jack" an ace for appearance—he knew the drill manuals from cover to cover and he recognized the necessity of the discipline he demanded of his soldiers.

A story of Christmas day. 1018, Presidem WUsoa and psrty, and General Pershing, emphasizes the latter f ac t 'They all stopped at the village of Sarrey, Haute Mnrne," relates Charles R. Cabot of Boston, "following tlielr Christmas dinner with men and officers of the Twen-ty-sixth division.

"Besides the President and Mrs. Wilson and General Pershing, Lieut Gen. Hunter Liggett Admiral Cary Grayson, Monsieur and Madame Jnsserand were among the party. They Inspected the men's quarters in Sarrey, where equipment was laid out on the hayloft bunks we occupied.

"One of the iadles. perhaps Mrs. Wilson, was curious to know how the shelter halves could be made into a pup tent. Whereupon, Gen-eral Pershing knelt quickly, gath-ered the shelter halves, rifles and tent pins of two of the men. Then he set up a pup tent in the straw.

"When the tent was erect 'Black 1 Jack* turned away. But President Wilson touched htm on the shoul-der snd said: 'As your command-ing officer, I desire you to leave this equipment as you found It*

"General Pershing quickly bent down, refolded the shelter halves and rearranged all the equipment In Its proper place."

Sicily ia History

Greek and Phoenician colonies were established In Sicily in the Eighth century B. C. at Nazes and elsewhere. Sicily thus became di-vided Into several states and In-dependent cities. The tyrant Gelon a little later transferred his gov-ernment to Syracuse, which be-came for the time the most 1m portant Greek city In Sicily. Mean-while the Carthaginians had also made settlements In the Island st Panormus. Motva and Solols. Wars between the Greeks and Cartha-ginians followed. In each, success favored now one side and now the other. In 883 B. C a peace was made between the rivals Sicily became a Roman province tn 240 B. C

"The male part of the congrega-tion was seated In a continuous pew all along the wall, divided Into 20 apartments, with a suffi dent number of diKirs for entrance, each person tiavliiK one or more seats In one or the other of these apartments The residue of the interior of the building was for the accommodation of the female pan of the congregation, who were seated on chairs."

Specialized Lubrication For Your Car

l nder Ihe old fiy-Ktem of lubrication one kind of lubri-

cant was used for all pa r t s of a car . Manifestly this

method did not do the c t r justice. By the new

system we have just installed we use Seven High Pres-

sure Guns, each loaded wi th a different lubricant es-

pecially made and adapted for a part icular part of the

car.

We have made a special study of auto lubrication and

assure you of the most up-to-date method. It will be to

your interest to bring your car in. Repair bills will be

reduced and you will have years of more satisfactory

driving.

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES

IT IS interesting to note the larpe amount of space given to ed-

itorials in leading newspaper* re-garding the associate Justice of the Supreme court. Oliver Wendell Holmes, who celebrated his nine-tieth birthday on March 8.

Commendation and praise to-gether with hearty congratulations were the unanimous greetings of all

who ventured to express an opin-ion publidy.

It is a won-derful thing to prow old prad-ually. but even more wonderful t.i be Messed with such health nnd strength to enable one to continue active-ly In his chosen field of labor in s p i t e of the years.

One of the m o s t Interest-ing facts about Justice Holmes' e x p e r i e n c c court Is that

L. A. Barrett

in the Bnpreiue though having long passed the a^e of voluntary retirement he chooses to continue to bear his full charge of responsibility as a member of that court. Most men would be glad for the opportunity to re-tire on a comfortable allowance for the remainder of t h d r days; but not Justice Holmes. Commenting upon this fact, he was quoted as Laving said; "If I should retire I would die, and I do not want to do that."

Another Interesting tiling is that In spite of advanced years. Justice Holmes In mind and bean Is still very young. Most persons having nassed three score and ten live In the past and mnnlfem little or no Interest In more modern ideas. Justice Holmes having arrived at four score years and ten is so modern In his thinking and Inter-pretations that he is referred to by many writers as a radical. One writer in particular spoke of him as "Our Great American Liberal." His brilliant court decisions, many of which expressed most modern Interpretations and were in many eases on the minority aide of the cour t have become classics In 1»-gal literature.

Justice Holmes refuses to admit failure. His jKfrslstency and ca-pacity for hard work us well aa his splendid character have en-deared him to all his countrymen. Last, but by no means least Jus-tice Holmes is a great patr iot As defender of his country he not only served for 13' years on the Su-preme bench, but In the early days served a most honorable career In tl»e Civil war, receiving three bul-lets Id that conflict which be still carries in his body.

A noble patriot; a brilliant Jur-ist : a great American.

HOT AND COLD DRINKS

THERE are some people who can drink tea with enjoyment every

afternoon in the whole year—wom-en who find hot tea as bracing on a scorching mid-summer afternoon as tbey do 'n December or January, and very much more acceptable than an iced lemonade. But the ma Jority of Americans hold tbe belief, doubtless based on accurate ob-servations of their own reactions, that hot tea is a most Inapproprl ate afternooii beverage any time between mid-May and some time In October.

Wel l If you dont serve tea In tbe afternoon In warm weather, how should yon serve your cooling beverage! If you have guests at tea" time should you offer them s cooling drink as an alternative for tea? Should It be brought to them on a tea wagon, or should they be brought to it—served In a punch bowl In some cool retreat?

It Is a fact that much of the cer emony of tea drinking is lost when von drink some sort of sweet-sour iced drink at "tea" time. And when you assemble friends around a table to dlsi»ense such a beverage with cakes or wafers, it seems like play Ing Hamlet with the Hamlet left out or making nn omelet without the eggs.

So dont attempt to make much of a ceremony of i t : A maid may bring glasses of some cooling drink all poured out on little plates and pass them to you. or you may have a punch bowl filled with It placed In an end of the living room or on the veranda nnd then guests may help themselves or each other to the beverago as thev wish IL

KENT COUNTY STREAMS AND

LAKES LISTED (Continued f rom first page)

Names which are duplicated in tbe county, and tbe number of t imes they occur, a r e : Mud, eleven; P i cke re l two ; Pine Is-land, t w o ; Reed's, t w o ; Round, three , and Sand, two.

The di rectory contains infor-mation assembled f rom many different sources, including the D wight Lydell Grand RapUa Chapter of tbe Izaak Walton League of America, tbe Grand Rapids Publ ic Library and many K e n t county supervisors in-cluding William Buehler, of Cale-don ia ; Charles Buttrick. of Ada; I rvin H. Dintaman, of Alio; Nellie M. McPherson, of Lowell ; Maur-ice Post, of Rockford ; Ray B. Syers, of Byron Center ; Joseph Wenger , of Caledonia, and Lewis M. Yeiter, of Lowell.

Over 4 .Mt Lakes ia State T h e directory also lists all of

t h e lakes of the state, of which the re a re more than 4,100. If a person visited one a dav it would take him more than 11 years to make the rounds.

Oakland county is first in num-ber wi th 270 lakes listed. Kent conntv is second, wi th 180. Bar ry has 177; Marquette, 159; Lapeer, 158; Gogebic, 130: Ogemaw, 120; Newaygo, 119, and Montcalm, 104.

The largest inUnl lake In Mich-igan is Houghton, in Roscommon county, wi th 18,950 •cres . Torch Lake. ' in Antrim county, with 18,-000 •cres , is second in size and en joys the distinction of having tbe greatest length—18 miles.

O l o r f s l Naaics The names of the lakes, taken

in the aggregate, provide material f o r a fascinating study. Appar-ent ly the early settlers, who must have named Ibem, were influen-ced by similar considerations, no ma t t e r in what par t of tbe state Ibey happened to live.

Hundreds of lakes have names that are derived f rom animals, birds, iish, trees, flowers and f ru i t found in abundance in their vicinity. Other important groups of names a re d rawn from the col-or , shape or appearance of the lakes; f rom toe miscellaneous physical character is t ics ; f r o m numbers of tbe sections in which they happen lo be located; f rom nearby ci t ies; f rom names and nicknames of persons, and so on.

Names that are at once color-ful and at t ract ive are Magician, Angelns, Sylvan, Sunrise, Sunset, Rainbow, Avalon, Echo and Lake of the Clouds. But over against these are Dead, Dead Man's, Dead Water . Death, Fatal , Cemetery, Rattail, Snakes and Devil's.

F e w Indian Names With all the Indian background

in Michigan, one might exper t to find many Indian names fo r lakes. However, there are only a few in this category—among them being

• f 0

Baw Beese in Hillsdale county (named fo r an Indian chief) , Copmacouic (or Copneconic) on Ihe Genesee-Oakland line, Cob-nioo«f and Pe-Bam-Ma in Ooeana, Onekama in Manistee, Michigam-me in Marquette, Manitou in Ke-weenaw, a n d Wah-be-ka-ness (wa te r l ingers) and Wah-be-ka net la (wa te r l ingers again) in Grand Traverse .

The edi tors of Ihe directory be lieve that it makes available lo the general public deUiled in-formation such as has never been available before, and that it will result in the lakes being used and appreciated to an even g r i p -er extent than Ibey a r e now.
