NAME SELECTED
FOR NEW LAKE.
Will Now be Known as Maple
Lake" Council Accepted
Report Of Committee.
PLANT RUNNING NIGHT AND DAY
Lake Now Filled to Capacity.
Continuous Service Started
Last Sunday.

The new lake has at last been named.
The village council appointed F. n.
Wakeman, H. A. Cole and DR.. j. G..
Maxwell as a committee to select name
for the consideration of the council.
The committee recommended the name
of Maple Lake, which accommodation
was adopted by the unanimous vote of
the council last Monday evening The
committee also suggested that the street
running north past the lake be known
as the Lake Shore Drive: that road be
constructed on the west side of the lake,
thus making drive around the lake and
that property owners be urged to name
their respective shores and landings.
The lake is now filled to its capacity
and the all day and night service was
started last Sunday night. The Briggs
mill and the water works are now run
by electricity.
The proposition has exceeded the ex-
pectations of its most sanguine sup
porters and Maple Lake is one of the
most beautiful sheets of water in South
ern Michigan. 1t covers approximately
400 acres of land and has a shore line of
seven miles, dotted here and there by
clumps of trees and gradually sloping
banks. In depth it ranges from 80 feet
in the river channel to from three to
four feet on the old ball grounds The
possibilities for beautifying and i'm
proving the shore line and beaches are
unlimited and if all signs do not fail
Manila Lake will eventually he ore Of
the most popular lakes in Michigan.

Last Saturday night, a young man by
the name of Rich, living near Three
Mile Lake, drove to Paw Paw and hitch
ed his horse under The Briggs Mill sheds
When ready to start for home, the rig
was not there. The loss was reported to

THE MOST PRACTICAL BOOST.

The stepladder roost Is out OF date.
The chickens all fought for the highest
seat in the synagogue. Result. strife
and humble foot.
The sassnfras sapling roost. guaran-
teed TO prevent lice. has gone into OBJ
livion with the lightning rod. The
movable roost is the fad
Our plan: Make four carpenters tres
kes. two Of them five feet long and
TWO and half feet high and the other
Tour feet long and two feet high. Gov
or the high trestles with boards six feet
long. and on this dropping floor Mace
your low trestles and from one to the
other place your roosting Stats.
Put these four inch stats on loose
and on very cold nights move them
close together
Set up I'm a corner out OF drafts and
place the busting box near and the
hens will keep the roosts we'll busted.
Advantages.-Easil cleaned; easily
removed; catches all the manure; can
be removed or set up in three minutes:
hens can scratch under IT; red mites
avoid II. Try st and be convinced.

A FEAT IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
Daring Descent to Get a View Of ar
Osprey's Nest.


Now commenced my work. and | de-
seended on my rope to terrace after
terrace. forcing my way through thick
rows OF prickly pear. a most painful
operation. And now we found thar
there was nobody below to signal ms
where the nest lay. The inevitable re-
suit was that after descending more
than 100 feet l had TO signal TO be
nauled up again, always through the
prickly pear. Again did I descend.
and again did fail TO find the nest
on the third occasion I reached re-
cess In the great cliff. wheuce. after
unbending my rope and securing Il to
bush for obvious reasons. made n
cast along ledge to the south and
reached point which I identified as
being not far from the nest as seen
from below. So | retraced nv stems
and. regaining my rope. was hauled
up Tor a third time. During this Old.
Grafton | passed n ledge where n pere-
CRIME falcon was nesting. The Old

l now made my fourth and last
descent and found myself immediate

DON'rS.

Don't keep your ducks in damp Quar-
tiers and on hard. cold boards. Furnish
clean. soft litter and he decent.
Don't keep ducks with chickens.
Their feed is different. Ducks and
droppings are combination to restrict
the duck supply.
Don't sell duck eggs for a song. They
command n high price for Hebrew
trade Write TO an egg house for
prices.
Don't keep oyster shell too long.
The sea salts draws moisture. and the
she'll gets soft. It's dirty and out OF
date anyhow
Don't forget to save those duck feath-
ers. Feather beds are no longer light
ming protectors. but there's nothing
better for boil than a duck feather
cushion.
Don't undervalue those bantams.
They lay many eggs. take up less room
and eat little. Let the boys have n
flock.
Don't Forget that pheasants aren't
canaries. They are ornamental. but not
to hang among window curtains.
Don't house pheasants with other
stock. Give them lots OF room ana
fresh air. Let them go.
Don't mix turkeys. chickens and
geese. Birds OF one feather should
flock together.
Don't tolerate scrapping ROSTERS.
Ihey are nuisance. The lighters
aren't fathers OF Rooseveltian families.
