WIRELESS.
By James Oppenheim.


The seas are deep and the seas are
wide, and or ever the days of crea-
lures were,
BY sun and moon was pulled the tide
and all the Earth was ocean-stir-
Then came land and then came beast
and then came Man, and five feet
high
Blinked his eyes on the churning yeast
of sea that melted in the sky.
Laughing the fve-foot creature stood
against the leagues on leagues of
the deep
Laughing he knotted raft of wood
and padded his craft through hol-
low and steep
But the seas are deep and the seas are
wide, and they swallowed him
down-and a host thereafter
Till nations came like vast ebb- tide
and went down cured of insolent
laughter.
Nation by nation the daring came, with
ribs of oak and with ribs of steel,
With wing of sail or heart of flame,
but the great sea sucked them keel
by keel
Till some escaped and some few free,
and mammoth greyhounds skim
med the deep
Yet still the salt and dreadful sea was
like mastodon asleep.
But now comes the triumph of all the
ages-the subject seas belong to
Man
They break his ship when the tempest
RACES, they bind his keel with the
ancient ban,
But out through the big and binding
weather and the thick black fog
that chokes and smothers,
Man sends his cry though the infinite
ether and calls to him his coursing
Brothers.
Lo, at his call the mighty steamers
turn them about with word of
love,
And deeds in the brains of ancient
dreamers come real in flesh and
live and move
The Brotherhood gathers on gliding
foam and with sandal-seas are their
frail feet shod-
Man is making of Earth Home, man
IS making of man god.
! Lo. we have taken the Earth's rough
features and builded cities and
civilizations
! Lo, we tiny sky-lost creatures are
Swallowed by our own creations
, Earth, that was but rough seas and
sands, becomes a being with soul
and heart
Man is the Power of God with hands
to build of Chaos an ordered Arti

Why not start now-today, and for

gets the blues and grumbles. Give it
good eat, then take Pape's Diapep-

belching Of Gas or eructations OF un-
digested food: no feeling like lump
of lead in the stomach or heartburn,
sick headache and dizziness, and your
food will not ferment and poison your
breath with nauseons odors.
Pape's Diapepsin costs only so cents
for large case at any drug store here,
aud will relieve the most obstinate
case OF Indigestion aud upset stomach
In five minutes.
There is nothing else better to take
Gas from Stomach and cleanse the
stomach and intestines, and besides,
one triangule will digest and prepare
for assimilation into the blood all
your food the same as a sound healthy
stomach would do it.
When Diap9psin works your stom-
rests-gets itself in order. cIeads up
and then you feel like eating when
you come to the table, and what you
..at will do you good.
Absolute relief from all Stomach
Misery is waiting for you as soon as
you decide to begin taking Diapepsin.
Tell your druggist that you want
Pape's Diapepsin, because you want
to be thoroughly cured of Indigestion.

Friday, April 30th, 1909, as
ARBOK DAY.

Every year emp hasiZes The need o.
such a day and its observance should
be state wide. The day should leaye
its influence and impress upon the
minds of those upon whom the bur.
dens of the future will devolve. and
TO this end, the exercises in the
schools should be of a nature that
will bring out and develop love fol
the forest, field and flower.
1t should be day when attention
is called TO what generous provid-
ence has done for our State. A sol
and climate adapted for all that
makes country beautiful and at
tractive is chief among Gods bless
lngs.
The splendid endowment of riches
our state was given in it's forests no
longer exists in its entirely, but it
was not to be expected that its re-
sources Of timber would not be drawn
upon for the needs Of our people. We
can and should, however, by our
efforts now, intelligent and energetic,
provide resources for those who come
after us that will prove that our mis-
sion here was not alone TO use and de-
strOy.
"Plant tree" should be the watch
word on April 30th, 1909, and the farm
roadside and the schoolgrOunds should
be an evidence from that date On that
it was not simply precept.
The Commission on Country Life
appointed by President Roosevelt sug-
gested that the people in the rural
communities come together In their
school houses on Arbor Day and form
dn organization with the school as
the center and meeting place, for the
purpose of developing and making
better the general life Of the commun-
ity. 1t is to be hoped that our state
will be among the pioneers in this
great movement, and | commend to
the consideration OF the people the
suggestions aud the program that has
been prepared by the State Suporin-
tendent OF Public Instruction.

Whiskey Shops
Must Go.
Charlevoix County with Eighteen
Others in the State Declare
the Saloon an Evil not
to be Tolerated.
Vote Means $50 Saloons Must
Suspend Business.

Nineteen counties in Michigan vot-
ed Monday to abolish the licensed sa-
loon, while seven voted to retain it,.
The people have voted the outlawry Of
ns6 saloons, the revenue from which
was $l42,000. With the nineteen
counties voting dry Monday the total
number Of dry counties in the state is
80. The drys made bitter fight in
Washtenaw county owing TO the fact
that the university is located there
but the county remains wet. The
drys were especially strong in the up
state counties. Ionia returned / 500
majority against the saloons. CAL
houn, GeneSee and Jackson are listed
among the drYs, although the latter
was carried by small majority.
This is long step toward statewide
prob hbtiOn and it is only the matter
of very few years when we have IT,.
La Charlevoix County-old, reliable
CharlevoiX-the results were sur
prise all around. In South Arm
give the closest vote, the majority for
Dry" was the largest-proportion
to vote cast-to any place in the coun-
ty. being 446 out of total vote of $50.
The fight in South Arm was one of
the warmest elections ever held in the
township, the total number OF votes
est being 720. The Contest started
az ZOO a, M. when the 'drvS" sue
creded in seating an election board Of
their own choosing, and continued
throughout the day. The ladies rent
ed a building on State ST.. served free
lunches, had an orchestra and sang
prohibition songs. Church bells were
rung every hour during the day. And
when the victorious returns began to
come ia, the bells were rung at inter-
walls from six o'clock till midnight.
Over at Boyne every whistle in town
was tsrned loose about $50 p. M. and
the din was plainly heard on our
streets.
CharlevOiX County went "dry"
about 1900, and 33 saloons will close
their doors on May lst. Only two
townships gave majority for the
wets-Boyne Valley giving eight and
Peaine two. Eveine voted three TO
% Ia favor of ''dry."
Accurate reports from the various
townships cannot be secured. The
County Roads System proposition was
probably lost. 1t will not be known
until next Monday and Tuesday Just
what the total votes were-the Super
visors meeting Monday TO canvass the
Local Option returns and the Can
vassing Board conyeues Tuesday to
make the regular canvass.
The complexion of the Board uf
Supervisors will be changed consider
