Wednesday evening of last week.
While tbe paid membership is now
above the hundred mark, only 65
Joined in the banquet.
laf At tbe meeting following at the
Masonic Hail a much larger number
were present and an interesting and
^profitable time was had. Speakers
were expected from Saginaw but they
tailed to show up and perhaps it was
Just as well as time was Riven to making needed plans at the outset. Pres.
Caple presided and tbere was a pretty
'foil interchange of opinion ou many
inacterB.
W The question of monthly dues developed considerable difference of
opioion, not only as to amount, but
wbeLuer they should be the same for
city and country. After considerable
discussion it was voted to make the
dues »8.00 per year, payable quarterly, the first payment to be made Oct.
1. New members paying the membership fee during a quarter would not
be required to pay any monthly dues
during that quarter. It was further
decided tbat the membership fee be
Sbe same for city and country.
§£ Mayor Doherty very generously
offered to donate the use of the Auditorium to tbe Chamber for the
coming year and John ^.sline offered
later to care for the room for six
months free of charge. It is thought
that per Dap a the lights may be donated by the Light and Power Co. The
date of meeting was then fixed at tbe
second Wednesday of each month.
Mayor Doherty 'called attention to
tbe importance of securing the nego
tiation of the State Road Bonds in
order that work on the Trunk Lines
'might be pushed. Attention was also
sailed to the improving a piece of
highway leading into Hamilton township. ' The chair appointed as a com-
tmittee to visit the township and

SENATOR REED
Still
Believes  The   People
Americans.
Are
Senator Reed of Missouri who was
refused a seat in the San Francisco
convention, purely, he says, because
of his views on the League Covenant
appears to still bold the same opinion
and is ready to meet "all comers" in
debate on the subject. He says tbat
tbe Democratic convention* on Independence day. 1920, was sitting, not
to determine it will never surrender
any American rignts, but tbat it will
surrender all the American rights it
can.' Going back to tbe things that
led up to tbe framing of the world
cIud plan. Senator Reed said, ''the
President came over to tbis country
more than a year ago, bringing witb
him tbe covenant of tbe league of
nations (the world club plan). He
said he didn't want it even made public or discussed, because, presumably,
tbe stupid fools of Americans couldn't
understand it.' That tells the whole
story, Mr. Wilson didn't want the
people to know tbe real danger back
of the world club in the hope that it
could be put across before they found
out. But the majority of the Senators
Baved American rights by going slowly. In tbe meantime the people of
the country have heard it discussed
and they don't want it. And furthermore; they will hear a lot more about
it before tbe campaign summer is
over. The next President of the
United States will not be a man who
favors the sacrifice of American
rights or wbo represents a party that
has attempted, through its leader, to
turn onr republican form of Government Into an autocracy." ..
Charles M. Schwab of tbe "Bethlehem
SteelOompany.with 160,000 employes,
in addressing the Pennsylvania
Bankers*1 Association recently, said?
"Labor will learn that the best working man is entitled to tbe best pay.
It ie the fundamental condition as it
is In business?'and labor will learn
that and they will learn it aa we have
learned onr lessons by experience,
and when tbey have' learned it by
experience—it ie like a man and his
wife wbo quarrel—they bad hotter
be 1st! alone to fix up their own
difference, b»cau*» cue man on tbe
outside who endeavors to fix them up
is usually tbe one who gets into
trouble. Therefore, let tbe laboring
people, tbe working people and tbeir
managers, adjust their own difficulties. We will c ;me out successfully
and without any difficulty in tbe end.
I have no fear of tbe future in this
country with reference to labor: I
have no fear of Bolshevism, Socialism or any isms people are talking obout. Tbey are temporary, because they are founded on . wrong
principles, we will find. I am going
ahead, for example, in all my industries with the same development and
rapidity that I ever did, because I
have just aR much confidence* in the
future as ever I had in the past.
This great United States of ours and
its people and its working people
especially have too much sense not
to recognize the fundamental principles that underlie the prosperity of
their country, which means prosperity to their industries."

"They simply wont believe it!"
Tbe statement waa made by an Illinois farmer wbo bad come into Northeastern Michigan and after- a rather
complete investigation of farm lands
had brought 200 acres iu Iosco county
at a pries which was not ranch more
than one-tenth of what a similar farm
would bave cost bim in his home
county. "Our Illinois farmers are
n*ed to paying 8300 to 1400 an sere for
land and wben anybody tells tbem
tMat good farms in Northeastern Michigan can be bought at fram $30 to S50
an acre, and farms equipped with the
very be&t of buildings for less than
8100 an acre, they are suspicious at
once and insist tbat. tbere is eome-
tbing wrong wua - the land or it
wouldn't sell so cueap.
"There are farm lands in the vicinity of my home wbich rent for ss
much as S30 an acre to canning factories, wbicb use tbem for growing
sweet corn, and tbey can't grow a
bit better corn than I have seen right
here in Michigan," he said, during a
call at the Development Burean office.
Tbis man has been renting a farm
in Illinois, but his farm belongs to an
estate and it is to be sold next spring.
He said it would bring at least $400
an acre. "I have aeen clearing up
$2,000 a vear or better on it," he said,
"but I couldn't afford to buy it and
so I came into Michigan on a prospecting tour and I am going to move
my family here in the fall. . I am also
going to try to getf the truth about
Nortbeastsrn Michigan land into the
heads of some of my neighbors and
hope to Bee a number of tbem up

The advertising of Northeastern

year by tbe East Michigan Travel and
Resort association, and the Northeastern Michigan Development
bureau, bas been so successful that,
hotel and resort owners who had
listed tbefr accommodations with the
secretary of the Development burean
are all filled up until well into August and the secretary is receiving
many inquires from tourists askiog
for accommodations' of all' sorts,
from hotels to cottages, lodges in tbe
woods, etc., to which be is~nnab]e to
reply satisfactorily.
"These inquiries come from all
over the country," said the secretary,
"and from people wbo have never
before been into Michigan. Some
want fishing, and aren't particular
how they get it, others want the very
beet of accommodations. Some want
weli furnished cottages and high-
class service and others will be satisfied with anything tbat assures them
of reasonable comfort and quiet enjoyment. If there are any resort
owners or others whose accommodations are not . alreadv engaged for
August and thev will write tbe Northeastern Michigan Development bureau
at Bay City, describing what tbey
bave, I will be glad to pass that information on to the people who are
