CREEK, SUNDAY, MAY 13, 1923. THE ENQUIRER AND EVENING NEWS 11 AWARD CLEAN -UP PRIZE ROOM 12 junior High School Has an Extensive Clean-up and Fix-up Week Contest Last Week. ROOMS ARE BEAUTIFIED Judges Were Careful in Their Inspection and Room 12 Won by Close Seconds. The "clean up and fix up" week contest at the junior high school, the $10 prize for which, as has already been announced, was won by room 12, was an event that greatly interested the whole school, and resulted in: a great deal of creditable work on the part of the puipls in all the session rooms, between which the competition was keen. The plan followed war to make the best use of the $4 alloted to each room in helping to beautify the room as well as to put it in thoroughly good order.

The money for this purpose was taken from the general fund of the schooi, which is made up froin the proceeds of various events put on from time to time. The judges went curefully over the rooms and the written reports which in each caso were made upon the work done. And some of the notations made by the judges give an interesting light on the work done by the boys and girls. Of room 12, tho winner, the judges wrote: "Money wisely spent. Very neat looking effect produced- -partly because careful cleaning evidently preceded other work." Room 27 received honorable mention, and it was noted: "This room had the least to start with.

Effort especially fine." Room 14 was declared, "'In good taste for school room." of rooms 17, 22 and 40 it was remarked that the money was wisely spent, while of several other rooms the criticism was offered that too much was spent for potted plants. This, of course, was an easy but expensive way of decorating. 'Apparently great interest taken," is the praise given room 26, while room 10 is said to be "very neat looking." This also applied to rooms 33 and 34. Room 23 is declared to look fine, while on the report of room 21 is the comment, "Good work." Practically every room appears to have done creditable work, while in many of them the interest shown and the work done was highly praiseworthy and a valuable training for the children.

Traveling back orer the road to yesterday--back where first money was earned and the first personally-earned investments made, and the first dreams of life occupation dreamedAnd what do you find? It's an interesting question to put to grown-up men of affairs. Here, for instance, is Howard B.

Sherman, president of the Central National bank, head of numerous flourishing industries. The question was asked him the other day. BLOODY BILLE REVENGE He began as a newsboy. Began in Battle Creek, too. Down on the old Journal when the printing was slow and the paper was small, and the town was small also as compared to Battle Creek of today.

Mr. Sherman's first money was earned by carrying the paper over town. The carrying took place after the evening round- of the boys in the press room, where there were the usual old-time arguments as to which was first. In connection with which there sometimes were fights, LOG. Just what became of that first earned money, the available history des not say.

It is a well known fact that money afterward earned went into business, and multiplied, and built factories, and employed labor. Mr. Sherman confesses to no well defined plans for future occupation, when he was making his first pennies as paper-carrier. "That was a long time ago," he said, "and a kid as young as I then was has not yet made up his mind whether to be a president, or a cowboy, or run a candy store." DING! DONG! Armor B. Williams got his first money by janitoring a country school in Eaton county, and he remembers what ho did with the money.

As a ten-year-old ho fired the stove in a country school in Brookfield township, Eaton county, and got five cents a morning for doing it. The job had to be done before breakfast, then home to cat while the building was warming up; then back to school. proceeds of this work were invested in a fur cap. "That," said Mr. Williams, "was probably the proudest possession I ever It represented El good many fights with a winter wind and a cold school-house-at five cents per.

To get that fur cap then was as big an achievement us going to congress would be now. J. B. Neale, president of the Gage Printing earned his first money by delivering the Detroit Evening News and later set type at the old Journal. His first money bought a Waltham watch.

He always wanted to become an engineer on the Michigan Central railroad. He made friends with all the engineers on that road and many times they would give him rides in the cab with them. Sam A. Howes pulled beans for his first money. He earned three dollars and bought a sheop.

His grandfather agreed to keep the sheep for him and he was to profit by the increase. His grandfather forgot the agreement and Mr. Howes says that if he should have all tho sheep for all the years since then that the number would reach from coast coast. His greatest ambition was to become a farmer. Walter HI.

Gage went into the woods of New Hampshire with his grandmother and helped her dig various roots and herbs from which she -prepared medicines. She told him of the wonderful virtues of her concotions and this awakened his desire to become a physician. He earned 25 cents erery time he helped her and this went into his little castiron savings bank. Jacob Welckgenant earned his first money in several ways. He carried shavings from Buck and Hoyt's Cabinet shop to some homes about town and sold them to serve as kindling for their fires.

He ceived 5 cents a bag for He also split wood, peddled the Nightly Moon when that was printed by Brown and Allwardt, and cleaned the streets in front of some of the stores for 5 and 10 cents, depending upon the size of the stores. That was fifty years ago when there were no regular street cleaners. He acted as torch boy for the Union Hose Co. when he carried lanterns at all the night fires. When payday came he would pass the hat and this would suffice for his pay.

He helped to buy some of his own clothes with the money 'he earned. His greatest desire was to become a store-keeper and when a boy, his chief pleasure was derived from playing store. And that's what happened to him'-as witness the Welckgenant institution in Battle Creek, in the fine new store building which Welckgenant. and Korn are soon to occupy. SOCIETY Entertains at Fine.

A. large crowd of sky-gazing openmouthed people packed the main four corners for their first sight of Battle Creek's own dare-devil building climber, yesterday noon just before he was scheduled to appear. One would have thought that the president was planning to march by so great was the excitement and the craning of necks to get a glimpse 01 the celebrity before he began his hazardous climb. The exhibition was staged under the direction of the Bijou Arcade theater, with the purpose in mind of advertising Harold Lloyd's film, "Safety Last," now showing. The management advertised for climbers and several answered.

H. E. Shreve was chosen as the man to scale the City National bank building. Promptly at 1 o'clock the human clinging vine swung himself to the top of the entrance of the bank and then to the first window sill. Here, under the orders of the mayor, 3 rope was tied under his arms and he pulled himself up to the next window above.

The rope was for the protection agairst slipping and was not supposed to be used to haul him up. In this manner he climbed to the seventh floor, and having fastened a huge sign in place, he descended by way of the elevator. Shreve is the first local man to climb the City National Bank and the performance lasted a little over half an hour. Chief of Police Fonda and a number of his men were on band to help and direct the traffic. An officer was stationed at each corner, as well as the one in the booth on the bank corner.

Shreve succeeded very well in his undertaking and expressed himself to the effect that he would like to go into such work more frequently. He is employed as a structural iron worker and this occupation, he says, gives him some chance for hazardous work. GETS $2,000 VERDICT Verdict for Vicksburg Man Whose Son Is Killed.

WILLIAMS ENTHUSED Finds Splendid Encouragement for Candidacy Throughout the District. While the vote at the coming congressional which occurs a week from Monday--on the 21st day of May--is not expected to be large, there are several factors which promise to bring out more than the usual vote at a special election of this kind. One is the big interest that seems to be in evidence over the question of sending good qualification to represent the district in Washington. The other is the fact that special elections are being held at several places on interesting local Issues. At Charlotte and one or two other places in Eaton county, elections are being held on the adoption of daylight and this constitutes a pretty lively issue in the towns.

A. B. Williams, candidate for the republican nomination, spent terday in Kalamazoo, where an thusiastic -congress club is in operation, returned yesterWilliams day evening full of enthusiasm over the outlook. Mr. Williams has been out in the district almost constantly since agreeing to enter the race.

"I am enjoying it thoroughly," he said yesterday evening. "It has taken fast movement to keep gagements and I have covered a good many miles every day, but it has been a real inspiration. I am having the most enthusiastic assurances of interest and support in every county, and there are large numbers of volunteers in each section who have pledged themselves interest the vote in of carry on the and campalen, course I have had some particularly fine experiences among the people of Eaton county, where I used to live, but I've been told by representative men in both Hillsdale and Branch countics that Eaton county is going to be given a race, and the Branch county men have sent word Eaton county that when the votes were counted Branch would equal, if it did not exceed the best that Eaton would do. Hillsdale has been talking the same way, while I've been getting repeated invitations to come back to Kalamazoo and meet the people who wanted to help form organizations for me. of course, having gone into the race I want to win, and expect to win, and am very much enthused by the reports that reach me from all sections.

But I would he having satisfaction enough in the I am meeting, and the new friends I am making, to pay for all the work of campaigning. The only unfortunate thing is that I can't get over as much territory and see as many 'people as I would like." The editorial comment published by the Grand Rapids Herald last Saturday, on Mr. Williams' didacy, was one of the most enthusiastic endorsements, on the score of fitness and ability, that it would be possible to give a candidate, and it has attracted a good deal of approving notice cver the state. An interesting bit of comment on the campaign is published by Editer Tom Rotinson, in this week's issue of the Union City Register- Weekly. It is as follows: candidacy Arthur B.

Williams, of Battle Creek, for the republican nomination for man from the third district, seems to grow in favor every day, particularly in our own Branch county, while of course Calhoun county is almost solidly for him and he is also a prime favorite in Eaton countyhis former home. "Mr. Williams seems to be the logical candidate, and for various good reasons. He is a thorough and experienced business man, his long connection with the Postum Cereal company of Battle Creek having given him a keen Insight into large and small business affairs. He is an attorney by profession and has a legully trained mind of great acumen.

He is not a politician, for he has never before been a candidate for office, although he has always taken an interest in political and civic affairs and is of a progressive nature, although possessed of just sufficient conservatism to be safe and sound. "Mr. Williams 1s making an active canvass of the territory and he is daily making hundreds of admiring friends. He is solidly backed by the leading men of his own city, and this alone is a high mark of commendation. The Register Weekly predicts that he will win the nomination by a handsome majority." sq.
