COME OUT OF THE HOT KITCHEN
You know what a hot, tedious Job "home baking is
—you know how difficult it is to set your dough
-right in order to get a perfect loaf of uniform
quality—how much w^aste there is to it all—and
how often through no fault of yours,, you are disappointed with results.    ■
Then instead of worrying about your bread
and baked goods and sweltering over' a scorching

"THE CHEATER" COMING;
MAY ALLISON AS STAR
■ May Allison, the captivating Metro
star, in "The Cheater,"! is announced
as the feature attraction at the Liberty theatre next Wednesday. The
new photoplay is- described as one or
the sensations of the year, presenting
Miss Allison in an intensely dramatic
role.
"Ths Cheater" is a 'screen version
of 'Judah," the notaible stage play-" by
Henry Arthur Jones. "Judah" was
first plajsd in London with B. S. Willard in the Lille role. ,
The story of "The Cheater" -d^.als
with faith healing and When it |"as
produced in England-, it createqL _•
storm of "discussion,.*"' The criitYoversy
resembled that now raging here uvei
spiritualism and kindred topics.
Miss Allison's role is that of H!y
Meany, who, under the name of-Vasb-
ti Dethic, has won a reputation for
effecting cures by faith. She knows
she is a cheater and when she faces
the prospect of trying to cure tlie
crippled sister of Judah, Lord Asgar-
by, she experiences a change of hea?t
■due to Judah's nobility and the simple faith of his little sister.
The drama of her redemption Is
said to have been -detvelo/ped with tremendous dramatic skill.'King Baggot,
widely known for his work as a
screen star, is cast as Judah.

the local team have rendered a real
service to tlie community.    Certainly
"good clean.sport is a boost to any
town." It is to be hoped that other
games besides baseball will' be in-
eluded in the athletic program of
another year.
But it is also our hope that by
another year some arrangement will
be made as to the time for community
athletic events so that Sunday is
not used for such purposes. We do
not want to .be unfair in this matter. Until some other schedule than
the present is operative, little improvement may be looked for. The
responsibility for the present order
of. things  is   widely  diffused.   -Next
• year it will rest upon those who to-

AMERICAN LEGION ADVISES
AGAINST  THIS, FRAUD  GAME
'We have been advised that a gt'o.p
of men, dressed ini clothes very similar to the regulation army uniform
are canvassing the Lower Peninsula
of Michigan selling a book called
the "Doughboys, Pub cand Facts," at.
25 cents, each. They claim the money raised in this manner is to be
used for welfare work among .exr-ser-
vice men.. Their, game seems to hp
to urrive in a town by automobile,
make a whirlwind campaign and go
on to. the next town. This is purely
a fraud. Should they arrive ill
your town, have them arrested at
once. To -date they have succeeded
in eluding the officers in each town
they visit and have been doing so
for several months .past.
We haive beem .advised by the department commander of the Veterans
of Foreign Wans that no authoriza-'
tion has "been given, to any of their
members throughout the state to
collect any money for welfare work.
If any individual is found doing this,
he should be stopped immediately.
The American Legion, Department
of Michigan, has not authorized any
.person to collect funds for any purpose, .anid should anyone be apprehended soliciting f undSi wire Department Headquarters at once..
