BALL GAME FOR

CALUMET AND HuRoNToWN
TEAMS WILL MEET AT LAUR-

Arrangements have been made fol
a baseball game To be played at the
Laurium driving park, Sunday. Sept
3, between the Calumet and Huron
town teams. the proceeds of which will
be turned over TO the c. x III. miners,
TO help swell the charity fund raised
at the annual picnic. The Calumet
team has volunteered it's services for
this occasion and the expenses of the
Hurontown team will be paid. The
remainder will be turned over to the
miners committee.
The game is a regular scheduled
league contest and was to have been
played at Hurontown. The Hurontown
management, however, consented to
the transfer to Calumet. AS the two
aggregations are running neck and
neck for second place in the league
race, the contest will be one of the
most interesting that has ever been
staged here and it is expected il will

MOUNTED TROOP
FOR COMPANY A
GENERAL ABBEY AT WORK ON
PLANS TO BRING UP EFFI-
ClENcY OF CALUMET
ENGINEERS.

While the members of Co. A. Engi.
neers were attending the state camr
AT Port Huron. they were made ac-
quainted with plans being considered
by General Abbey, for bringing up the
efficiency OF the company, and place
II nearer the standard maintained by
the regulars. The plan embraces sew
eral innovations. which General Abbey
viii endeavor to have the state mill
tary board provide.
one of his proposals is 10 give the
company equipment for twenty mount
ed engineers. including saddles, saddle
blankets, brides and other accessories
TO be used whenever the occasion de-
mands. As mounts would be required
only on special occasions. they could
be secured from the local liveries. The
duties OF company of engineers in
clude scouting and map making, the
excellence OF the latter being depend
ent largely upon the success of the
former. The mounted section would
naturally do the scouting and would
be I'm position TO make very accurate
maps. There is no doubt that this
section would be very popular with
the enlisted mon, and would make pos
sible many more enlistments
Another plan proposed is to estab-
lish sections of a few men, possibly
% or 80, in command of a sergeant, i'm
other towns. This would enable the
10 secure men trained i'm GER |

very successful since il has been i'm |

is eagerly awaited by the

CHAMPION Euq LAYERS.

Many insects are extremely prolific.
All of the order Hymenoptera. the bees
and ants. lay large numbers. but they
are easily excelled by the order Plecop'
terra. the stone flies. one female Of
which deposits from 5000 to 6000 eggs.
But the champion egg layers are the
insects embraced in the order Isoptera,
the white ants. DR.. Howard states
that these insects are called white ants
because they are not ants and because
they are not white. but he further goes
on to tell us that the females of some
of the African species grow to an enor-
nous size, and their abdomen, swollen
with eggs, becomes as big as large
potato. The rate at which the eggs
are laid is extraordinary. being about
sixty a minute, or $4,000 and upward

Force of Iiuht,

Light has an actual mechanical
pressure and can. be measured in the
laboratory. 1t has been found that
the suns light in itself presses
against the earth with q force some
thing like 10000 tons. AS the surface
of sphere varies as the square Of
the radius, and as the volume or mass
varies as the cube Of the radius, and
as the mechanical pressure Of light on
the whole surface varies as that sur
face, and as the force Of gravity varies
as the mass. If a sphere is made
smaller and smaller it is easily seen
that the pressure Of light does not de-
crease so fast as the force Of gravity,

THE FOLLY OF LAWSUITS.

Whatever else you do, don't get
into a lawsuit over some trifing
disagreement with a neig hbor. The
courts are full of suits which could
have been settled by mutual con-
cession or by arbitration to the
great advantage of all parties ex-
cept the lawyers in the case. Just
the other day a suit was decided
after two or three years of expence
and worry on the part of the two
families. 1t was over a disputed
line, as so many such suits are, and
the landin dispute was probably
not worth fifty dollars. The suit
cost the winner 1925, and the loser,
being taxed with the costs, neces-
sarily had more to pay.
Another case recently noticed is
where a farmer had a right to get
water from a spring on neighbours
land. He wanted to build a spring
house, the owner objected. The
first man had got along without a
spring house for years. it would
not have damaged the landowner
a penny, yet an injunction has been
issued and law suit is on. Each
party will probably spend several
hundred dollars and be no better
off, and the old friendliness of the
neighborhood will be thing of the
past.
To begin a suit in court over
some such trivial matter which
could easily be adjusted by little
give and take, is not only the poor
est sort of policy-a case of vast
ing dollars to gain possible CENTS
but is also crime against the COM
munity and foolish waste of the
best part of life. For what shall
it profit man if he gain deedless
lawsuit only to lose the goodwill of
his neighbors and his own friendli-
ness toward them? Raleigh On. c.
