Our village is becoming an ex-

The noise and smoke of the "Funk

that business is booming. Also,

Many of the young folks of this

telephone, which only recently became
part of his establishment. He is
so awkward in communicating with
people telephonically that he never an

solute necessity requires. This neces-
sity came the other day when there
was no one in the office but himself.
Going to the telephone, he rang up
grain and hay dealer and bawled:

Kalamazoo, Mich, Aug. 22.--Sum-

are seriously wrought up over the un-
expected appearance there of a ma
rine monster, the like of which was
never before heard Of or seen in Mich

The strange reptile first made it's ap-
pearance in the little bay at the south
east end Of the lake on Sunday morn
ing, and was discovered by Harry
Kemper and Miss Carrie Wirthlin, Of
Cincinnati, who were fishing just be-
fore dusk. They first lost a half
dozen spoon hooks and lines, then their
minnow pail, which was astern, trail

strangely agitated near by, Kemper
started to row to shore.
Poisoned by That Serpent
Something grabbed one of his oars
and it came up with a piece torn out.
Then a hideous head appeared above
the water that swayed from side to
side and emitted a Kissing sound. Some
twenty or twenty-five feet distant the
tip of the reptiles tail could be seen
flashing the water. Kemper r0wed FOR
his life toward shore with his fair
companion in a state Of collapse, the
monster pursuing them and eildeavor.
ing to seize the boat. When about
twenty rods from shore Kemper beat
the monster off with his oar, and in
doing SO capsized the boat. They were
rescued from drowning by a passing
launch.
Would You Recognize the Beast?
Kemper describes the serpent as
having short, thick forelegs and head
as large as a calf, with bulging eyes
large mouth, and vicious looking
teeth. On it's forehead was thick
growth Of hair, and it's body was Gov
cred with scales that emitted a phes
phorescent glow in the twilight
Kemper says the monster had a face
almost human in its expression, and
that it reminded him more than any
thing else of pictures he had seen of
Aguinaldo.

the Legislature. w..

the Legislature. ~-
Detroit, Aug. 21.-Representative
George L. Lusk, of Bay county, who is
a candidate for reelection to the leg
islature. has this to say Of the state
sugar beet question:: up to date the
beet sugar manufacturers have not
had more than 500 900 bounty from the
state. Large investments have been
made in the business on the basis of
the state granting a bounty and the
state should keep faith. In Bay coun-
ty there are three factories. Every
dollar they have taken in has been
spent in making Improvements to their
factories and extending their business
lines.
SHOULD the supreme court decide
the bounty matter in favor of the fac
tories and compel the auditor general
to draw his warrant in payment of the
bounties, it will be no more than just.
In addition the state should at the
next session Of the legislature pass a
bounty bill in a somewhat modified
form granting at least half cent
bounty for beet sugar raised and man
ufactured in Michigan.u -~--e,rs-,-,~.,
