Red Cross Notice.
You ar?' earnestly urged to attend
the annual meeting of the Camden
Chapter American ? Red Cross at the
Camden Court House, Friday, October

for the year 1921, our peace program
and election of ofllcera.

business house in Adrian.'
'Through an arrangement with each
huuk anil tv- ?f li every store In the elty.
the manager of the market has a
promise that (he cheek# shall be cashed
at par and lhat there shall he absolutely
no solicitation for business in return for
tin* favftr. Rut the result is the same.
If a farmer goes into a store to get his
(?luvk cashed, almost Invariably buys
.something.
'"'In the first six months after the
< 'ommunity Market began business, the
retjiil merchants of Adrian doubled their
farmer business, and the bulk of the in
crease was a cash business. Since then,
the friendliness of feeling and the
knowledge that they can trade at home
and do better, has resulted in such fall
ing off of business for the mailorder
houses In Lenawee county that at least
one ?>f them ha* ^tnpped sending Its cat
alogs there."
The man- who told this story was
?sked about the establishment of such
? market >n Camden.' He satd :
"I -spent more than a month making
nil inquiry inU> the Community Mwrkets.
The originator the idea. Walter
Ilraden. now of Pontiac. Mich went
with me and we visited several of the
string of t li e in which have lieen ?et up
in the Northern states. From my
knowledge <>f them. I would say that
Camden present* an ununally fine op
|N>rtunify for ofte of them. The r??
quisite* urc n strong Chamber nf
Commerce to *tand hehlnd the move
ment. an agr??ement among the business
men to 'play fair' with enrh of her and
with the buying public and the right
kind1 of n man to act as manager of the
the market, ff you had thes". and Lhe.y
are not hard to obtain. Camden and
K?r4ha w County could roj>eat the ex
periences of Adraln and Lenawee county
in Michigan in the next ??x months."

?The new chamber will have to seek
permanent quarters 'and get them in

and the public. It will also begin at
once to look about for a permanent sec

said to ho a strong sentiment for tlie

hind this feeling is that there, would

Against Majestic Sliows.
The muehl.V discussed question as lo
w li? ? ????!? OV uoi a carnival ha* t|l? right
ii-. ||?? .streets of u city upon which.
10 pitxii tWk tents was brought to ?
climax Tuesday when Judge John S.
Wil-on, hi * 'hamhers. at Columbia, I*
sucil an injunction against the Majes
U, I '\ posit iol? SlLHVS Using !l>0 streets
of Cm union.
I .a si \\<vk a majority of the nnni
hers ?>f ci|\ council granted a carnival
t lie right lo exhibit ou the st yvots of
Camden under the auspices of the city
II 10 department. Councilman W. 11.
Pea rce contended that tin* right was
given hy the members hy agreement oh
the st s ami not in council as
sembled. Attorneys 10. 1 ?. Makeney iuul
T. ,|. Klrkland were employed hy Mr.
I'l-aree. and I < A, Wlttk?waky appeared
us city attorney and ' M* M. Johnson
as attorney for the tlremen, went be
fore Judge Wilson iu the matter. and
after the presentation of the complaint
hy Mr. Pea rce and numerous atlidavits
s'gned hy various parties Interested 111
ill'*' carnival Judge Wllsou issued the
following order restraining the carni
val from operating upon tin? streets:
"It is upon motion of 10, I). Blake
ni'v, ordered thai the defendants and
a M person^ who may he their agents,
employees, I of I leers or participants, or
the exhibition of jbo <'?.? nival known
as ".Majestic Shows" are hereby re
strained and enjoined from occupying
Church Street, or any other street of
Camden, after 12 o'clock midnight^
Wednesday. October 27th. and that
I hey 'he required to remove all tents,
booths and other erections occupying
said Street not later than 12 o'clock
M. Thursday. <>cf. 1020. . J/i.'J this
order be served upon the defendants
not later than midday, October 27th.
Alderman Pea rce hi his complaint
stated that Church street was long us
ed for f ravel nnd traffic and that the
carnivnQ had erected large tents, booths
and other' structures which .occupied
three fourths of, the driveway so that
only an intricate passageway of ten or
fifteen feet wide was left, drawing the
crowds around the same and obstruct
ing the street for at least eighteen hun
dred feet and that it was cheating and
continuing a nuisance. .
Nat Nnrd?r, manager of the carnival,
made an atlidavit to the effect that if
they were made to discontinue show-'
ing in Camden It would mean a finan
cial loss of about $4,000 and that there
were about three Hundred people de
pendent upon the show for their com
pensation.
The contract signed with the shows
by members of the fire department,
reads as follows: "The party of the
lh>t par J agrees to present their at
tractions lu^the city for a period of
six days. The party of the second
part is to furnish a suitable location of
show grounds, all licenses, hill .posting,
newspaper advertising, water, ticket
takers and police protection. The show
agrees lo pay 15 per cent of the gro~.s
receipts, less the war tax and 50 i>cr
cent of the sale of all privilege stands,
at $10 per week each, also 33 pej:' cent
of the net proceeds. The firemen are
also to furnish electric current suffi
cient for the entire attraction, also. 40
k. w. transformer to he erected. Con
struction work, feed wires to 1k? run
and connections lo be made. The show
also guarantees the firemei* that their
percentage will not be less than $oOO."
Clerk of Court James II. Clyburn
collected a county license <?f $'2fi f??r
en eh day the shows have exhibited.
Attorneys for Councilman Pearce
took the position that the highways of
the city belonged to the State and that
any citizen had the right to bring ac
tion against any obstruction that was
placed thereon, and that tlte city oiily
had control over the Ira lib- regulations,
hi this eon tent ion they were sustained
b.v Judge Wilson. It is interesting to
know that this Is the first' time that
11 maMer of this kind has ever been
up from this state for settlement, and
it will doubtless put nn end to carni
vals on the streets of Camden for all
time.
The I'Hrnival was served notice at
12 in Wednesday thnt they would
have to vacate the streets and they
m?v*M onto vacant lot' on abutting
property <?n Church street. While pro
bably not Interrupting the show to any
great extent it put them to the extra
labor and expense of removing all of
their attractions, and it is safe to pi,{*
that, the next carnival attraction
coining to Camden will know their 1<?
cation before putting np here.
Thr? members of council favoring the
shows were; W. J. Dunn, ma vor, II.
