A Destructive Smudge.

Richard Foote, "A farmer near Stand
ish, started a fire to keep away mos
quitoes, and the blaze spread to his
barn, which was totally destroyed, to-
gether with the horses inside it. An
other occurrence of similar nature
last week was at Mason, where man
started smudge in his chicken house
to drive out the chicken lice. The
barn caught fire, and while the man
was hustling around to put out the fire
he fell down fight of stairs and broke
his wrist The fire department put
out the fire before the barn was
burned, but they also put out the
smudge, so that the chicken lice are
still doing business at the old stand.

The Pope Approves Decisions of Bishops


The pope is reported as much pleased
at the success of the council of the
bishops of the Latin-American church,
which has just concluded its delibera-
tions at Rome. Subjects which were
expected to show differences of opin-
ion almost impossible to reconcile were
disposed of with minimum of friction
Perhaps the most important was the
scheme for serving the Latin Ameri-
can episcopate from the jurisdiction
and control of the Spanish primate
This was finally imposed. despite We
hement protests from the Spanish
church. Henceforth the church of
South America will have an American
born primate chosen by the pope him
self. In the future, also, there will be
an identical liturgy, ecclesiastical code
etc, for the South American churches
irrespective of the states wherein they
are located. The councils report was
submitted to the pope and was form
ally approved. The new primate will
be nominated at the next consistory,
and will be Immediately raised to the
dignity of cardinal.

BRIEFLY RELATED.
Been Beneficial to Crops - A Burg
larry Committed at Buchanan I'm
earthed an Old Crime.
Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The weekly bulletin of the Michigan
weather service says that frequent
showers in the central and southern
counties, and also in the northern
counties, lying along the lake shore,
has interfered with having and harvest
! work during the past week, although
no serious damage has been reported.
, Generally the weather conditions of
the week have been very favorable to
crop growth, and corn, oats, potatoes
and pastures show marked improve
ment over their condition one week
ago. In some of the interior counties
the rains were heavy enough to do
some damage to crops on low lands,
and slight damage to hay is also re-
ported. The wet weather has inter
fered somewhat with corn, potato and
beet cultivation. In the southern half
of the state wheat cutting is well add
vanced and the grain is in shock in
most fields. Threshing has commenced
in few of the southern counties, and
very light crop is reported, although
the quality is exceptionally good.
Late potatoes are beginning to bloom,
and are not being molested to any con-
siderable extent by bugs. Sugar beets
continue to make excellent progress,
except on the low lands of the district
adjoining Saginaw bay, where the
ground is very wet. Pasturage is gen.
orally in very good condition.

Cass Countv,s Sea SERPENT.

The Indian lake sea serpent has been
seen several times this summer. 1t
appears to be about 12 feet long and
can propel itself through the water
like an arrow. Thus far very few
have been able to get close view of
it, owing to its shyness. The only
danger to be felt is that it might sud-
denly rise some time under boat,
capsize the occupants and possibly kill
some of them with its tail in it's effort
to get away.
