Do you know of a person in this whole community who would be willing to go through life month by month and year by year with out a knowledge of the news feat ures of the township in which he resides? Would you like to be that person? It is difficult to con vince the average readeV of the real value of the home paper unless he has at some time or other been forced to do without it. Then it is that its value is brought home to them. Most people subscribe for the home paper, read it, enjoy it, and absorb the news it contains as a matter of course, giving scarce ly a thought to the vast amount of labor entailed in the production of the issue. And yet that issue means a tremendous concentration of thought and energy and perse verance on the part of both the editor and his entire force of em ployes. The work thus represent ed on an issue of this paper, for instance, cost the reader less than two cents. Keep the Town Clean. A clean town attracts attention whenever and wherever it is seen. A dirty one catches the public eye in even less time. When the streets and alleys and yards and vacant lots in a town are clean and sani tary it bespeaks a like condition on the part of the residents with re gard to their personal habits. If each person in this town would use just a little^ more energy and thoughtfulness we could make this one of the cleanest spots in the country and our reputation would grow apace. Not only would we benefit thusly, but the health of the community would be vastly im proved and the physical capacity of the people would be greatly in creased. A clean man works with pleasure and with a definite object in view. Generally he gets there. The dirty one labors from neces sity only, has no ambition, and is the black eye that kills the town in the eyes of other people. Keep the town clean. U.S.OFRGIALS SEE SOON CLEAR NEUTRALITY QUES TIONS RAISED BY ARRIVAL OF GERMAN SUBMARINE. PURELY A MERCHANT SHIP Preliminary Report From Collector Ryan Indicates Purely Merchant Ship Devoid of Peculiar S^tus Caus ed by Her Trip Across Atinntic. Washington.—Federal officials say that the questions of international law rai'sed by the arrival of the German super-submarine Deutschland will soon be cleared away. A preliminary report from Collec tor Ryan at Baltimore indicated that the vessel was purely a merchant ship, devoid of any peculiar status be cause of the unprecedented manner of her trip across the Atlantic. Should this be borne out by the more detailed examination that will be made, offi cials see no reason for diplomatic compli«»ition«. There was no pros pect that the Allied Governments were preparing to protest in the event that the Deutschland is held to be a merchantman. The Navy Department detailed Cap tain C. F. Hughes to aid the Baltimore collector in examining the submarine. Another officer familiar with submar ine construction will accompany Cap tain Hughes but they will act merely in an advisory capacity and the atti tude of the Government will be deter mined by the collector’s report. Rumors that objection might be raised by Captain Koenig or by Ger man officials to a closer inspection of the submarine on the ground that she is of a secret type of construc tion were not generally credited by officials. Such opposition would prob ably result in the recall of Captain Hughes and it would then be Incum bent on the German Government to offer convincing evidence of the sub marine’s peaceful character. Permission was not given for un loading any of the cargo, for shore leave for any of the submarine’s crew, or for transmission of the documens described as diplomatic papers brought by Captain Keonig until the State De partment had finally passed on the vessel’s status. PRESIDENT FOR PEACE THROUGH UNDERSTANDING Wilson Tells Michigan Audience He is not Champion of Force, If There Are Other Ways. £>etroiJt.—'President Wilson urged peace reached by mutual understand ing rather than force and defended the Democratic party as a friend of business in speeches to enthusiastic Michigan audiencjes. Thousands of persons shouted greetings at him wherever he appeared, the hall in which he sipoke to the World’s Sales manship Congress was jammed and an audience estimated at 50,000 greet ed him at the Ford Motor Plant. Ait night in Toledo another throng listen ed to his brief rear-platform address. “Peace” was the shouted resiponse of the salesmanship audience when the president asked, them what they desired when the present world strug- gls are at an end. And he added that permanent peace was his desire. CONFERENCES WITH MEXICO TO BEGIN SOON The merchants doing the busi ness in Marion are those who are going after it. Letting the people know through the columns of tjae newspaper what they have to offer. Advertising is no longer an experi ment—it is an absolute necessity in all Unes of business.
