IMPROVE PINE LANDS
Plan to Homestead the Many Acres
Thereof in Upper Michi-

Lansing, Mich. Nov. 22-William
ID. Bagley. of Old Mission. has Il plan
for the homeSteading of deserted pine
lands, which he will exploit before the
State Association of Farmers Clubs.
Bagley would plant the initial colony
on Il tract three miles square, in the
center of which would be the COM
munity, with one acre for each resi-
dence. Farms would branch out from
this.
The state would aid them by sinking
an artesian well, giving them rye seed,
otherwise helping them by releasing
them from taxes for five years. After
three years residence the state
would deed the farms to theoccupants.
The return to the state for the ex-
penSe of establishing the settle
ments would be the continued income
from taxes.

when children smoked.

Jorevin de Rochefort, who published
I'm Paris in 1911 an account of his trav-
els i'm England, tells the following:
"Whiie we were walking about the
town CWorcester) he asked me if it was
the custom i'll France as in England
that when the children went to school
they carried in their satchel with their
books n pipe of tobacco, which their
mothers took care to fill early in the
morning. it serving them instead OF
breakfast, and that at the accustomed
hour every one laid aside his book to
light his pipe. the master smoking with
them and teaching them how to hold
their pipes and draw in the tobacco"
In England at the time of the great
plague it was reported that no one liy-
ing in a tobacconist's house fell sick OF
the disease. This caused great de-
mand for tobacco. Hearne says in his
diary, Il remember that I heard for
merly Tom Rogers, who was yeoman
beadIe, say that when he was a school
boy at Eton that year when the plague
ragged all the boys of that school were
obliged to smoke every morning and
that he was never whipped so much in
his life as he was one morning for not
smoking"
