While the average in the condition of
the cotton crop fell below the average
for June when it was S0.7. the decrease
did not surprise experts who have kept
informed of the conditions that have pre-
vailed in the cotton belt. The heavy
rains which occurred east of the Missis
sippi during the month of July were
known to be detrimental to the crop, SO
that the decrease in the average of the
condition was not unexpected.

MANY CONVICTIONS Under
MICHIGAN PURE FOOD LAWS

Thirty thousand bulletins of 50
pages each are stacked upon the Of
fees of the state dairy and food de-
partment ready to be mailed TO every
part of Michigan, says a Lansing dis
patch. These bulletins cover the his
tory of the bureaus activities between
the months of January and June, 1910
and show as well the summary Of
prosecutions for the past fiscal year
ending July l. Proof of the bureaus
activity will be found I'm the table
which shows that In one year $50 Of
tenders were tried for violating the
state laws, and that out of this num-
Der 1876 convictions were secured. Only
four were acquitted and ten cases
were still pending at the time the re-
port was compiled. The percentage
Of convictions secured in the cases
tried Is high enough to prove an ex-
cellent warning and to assure future
offenders that If brought to justice
they will undoubtedly be punished.
The milk analysis for the months
between January and June, inclusive
shows that I'm 205 cases the samples
submitted fell below grade. In the
majority of cases the milk was lacking
In butter fats and solids but i'm eight
cases 1t was positively unclean and
dangerous to use.
The Ice cream analysis makes a
lightly better record. Thirty-three
samples were below the standard, al
most all of them being lacking in but
ter fat. One or two were adulterated.
Analysis of other products shows
that the percentage of impure goods
is gradually being lowered. Extracts
however, are still a source of much
trouble and the list of those which are
not true TO the statement that is con-
tanned is fairly large. Catsup canned
fruits and jellies, lard and maple sy-
rup have all been found lacking in
few instances. The products of the
| stale butter markers appear TO be
fairly up to the mark. only a few bad
samples having been found.
Copies Of the bulletin will be sent
to every butter maker, dairyman
manufacturer and dealer i'm food pro-
ducts in the state and the effect of
the wholesale list of convictions will
undoubtedly have weight with those
few who still imagine that they car
place impure or imperfect goods or
the market without being detected.

FIND SKELETONS
ON ISLE ROYALE
MAY PROVE SOLUTION OF MYs-
Terry SURROUNDING Dlscov-
cry OF FISHING OUTFITS
RECENTLY

The finding of heap of human
bones in a cave at Isle Royale last
week. by two trained nurses who
were spending their vacations on the
island, may prove the solution of the
mystery surrounding the discovery of
abandoned fishing tackle on the banks
of stream on that island by a party
OF copper country fishermen recently
The power boat, Minnie Mae"
owned by Norman Mcdonald of Laur-
ium about two weeks ago took a par
ty of fishermen to Isle Royale land
ing at Little Saskowitt Bay. While
fishing about two miles from the bay,
members of the party noticed a put
rid odor such as might arise from
decayed flesh, but thinking the same
might have been arisen from the car
casses of dead lynx or wild cat, no
the discovery of the fishing tackle
later. This fishing equipment is now
in the hands of Ralph DuMary of
Hancock, engineer of the Minnie
Mac" Renewed interest has been
aroused by the finding of two skele-
tons in the same vicinity.
The discovery was made last week
and was reported to c. w. Turner of
the Booth line, who in turn, ordered
the wireless operator on the steamer
America to notify the coroner of the
nearest port on the Michigan shore
that thorough investigation may be
made.
The young women have been spend =
ing the past two weeks at the home
of f. T. Seglem on Isle Royale, at
Siskowitt bay, near Menagerie island
| light. In their rambles about the is
land they came across a low cave
200 feet back from the shore line, in
which were the bones of two men. So
long had they been there that all
flesh and clothing had rotted away
and there was nothing to lead to a
possible Identification. 1855
Investigation revealed the fact that
one of the skulls appeared to have
! Deen fractured, while the position OF
the bones led the young women, Ia
the opinion that the two men could
not possibly have come to their death
naturally. The bodies must have beer
dragged and hidden there, they
thought.
Two men who went to the island
to fish in the late fall about eight
years ago, are said by employees of
the Booth line boats to have disap-
peared and never have been heard
from. Their diappearance was CO.
Incident with a severe snow storm
and neither they nor their boat were
ever afterward seen, and II was
thought they must have persisted on
the lake. 1t is now thought possible
tn bones may be those of the two lost
men.

UNCLE SAM MAKES Use
OF MANY MAIL POUCHES

Uncle Sam has 2s different kinds
OF mail bags in service, and they
range In cost from 22 cents to s21.56
each. There are mail pouches for al
most every conceivable use, and you
can ship almost anything that comes
within the postal regulations with a
minimum of loss and breakage Prob
ably the most peculiar bag is the one
arranged for carrying bees. Sending
bees by mail was n difficult operation
before the "bee bag" was adopted.
Usually the bees arrived at their des-
tination dead or so exhausted that
they were off little use. Now these
little honey makers can be shipped by
mail several thousand miles I'm the "bee
bag" without suffering. and can OBJ
tain air and good supply of food
during their transit.
Mail bags are made of various ma
terial. The cheapest are of cotton
and the most costly of leather. Those
used on fast expresses are reinforced
with metal. so that they can be flung
from fast moving trains without dam
age. Even then these bags, or
catcher pouches" do not last much
more than year and half, while
some of the cotton bags used for the
work will remain in service upward
of ten years.
In parts of the West where the
mail must be carried for many miles
on horseback special pouches are in
use for singing over the animals
TANKS. In the far frozen North spe-
cial bags are made for sled transpor-
tation. Harper's Weekly informs us
that in the cities a bag in use for
pneumatic tube service is made of a
composition called "leatheroid."
The ordinary cotton mail bags are
woven so closely that they are prac-
tically waterproof. and i'm the weave
there are 10 stripes of blue. Each
country marks its own mail pouches
in some individual way, so that If one
gets lost in a far country its owner
ship can be readily detected.
