Plans are rapidly materializing
iowa d the remodelling Of the grounds
the Charlevoix County Agricultu-
raj Association at East Jordan,
Director f. B. Ward Of Charlevoix,
as chairman OF the building COM
mittee. was an East Jordan visitor
this week. On Thursday, In COM
pany with a number Of our business
men, they went out TO the grounds
where the plans, drawn by Mr.. Ward,
were gOpe over.
1t is planned to tear out the old
barns aud pens entirely and construct
four substantial buildings separately,
allowing a larger space for spectators
around the race track. In the pres

tors is altogether too congested.
Three barns-one each for horses,
cattle and sheep-will be built far
ther TO the east side OF the grounds
and a trottipg horse barn vii be built
TO the south Of the grandstand and
near the race course. The latter barn
will be 81 feet wide by so feet in
length, with cement foundation aud
equipped with box stalls sxl2 feet.
All the oarns will be uniform In
appearance.
The new Dining Hall, built last
fall, Is Is feet wide by "A feet long,
and the caretaker's dwelling, built
next 10 it. is l4x24 feet, two stories,
A new Floral Hall, which the man
agement have under consideration,
will be built within year or two.
The officers of the Association are
alive to the work, and the next an-
nual fair will without doubt eclipse
any that have ever been held. The
dates are the same week in September
as last year.

FLOATS ASHORE, UNCONSCIOUS.
Aeronaut Found on Beach Relates
Distressing Experiences

Distressing Experiences.
Asbury Park, N. j., July ia.
j. Roberts, an aeronaut who start
ed in dirigible balloon from New
York for Philadelphia, was found
on the beach unconscious near
Deal, n. j., early to-day.
Roberts had made a landing
about twelve or fifteen miles from
New York and had made another as
cent, when his balloon was struck
by a squall and driven out over the
ocean. His troubles, he related to-
day when revived, were augmented
ed by fog, which caused the gas
in the bag to cool. The dirigible
finally trailed in the water. but by
throwing out ballast Roberts man
aged to work it inshore. Then he
found the gasoline failing. He pull
ed the tip cord and presently drop
ped into the waves. He came across
plant while swimming about try
ing TO get his bearings. Even with
this aid he became exhausted and
thinks he must have floated ashore,
unconscious.

WAITING FOR WEEIIL.
Barrett Says Observation-Disclosures
Sand Policy" is Foolish.

Sand Policy" is Foolish.
Union City, Ga, July 12.-Pres-
ident Charles S. Barrett has issued
the following statement TO members
of the Farmers Union:
To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers Union:
Reliable and nonalarmist experts
calculate the cotton boil weevil will
cover the entire cotton belt within
five years. 1t will probably be in
Georgia in the fall of 1912, per-
haps sooner.
The ostrich-head-in-the-s poll
cy is foolish, almost to the point of
cr'minality. 1t is better to face facts
how than to suffer the penalty la
ter.
Southwestern cotton states have,
by the loss Of many millions dollars
discovered the most feasible meth
dds yet devised for combating the
boil weevil. Their experience is
ours for the taking.
Unless the portion of the cotton
belt as yet untouched by the boil
weevil takes step in time the ad-
vent of this insect is going to pro-
duce temporary panic by wholly de-
ranging cotton culture, as yet the
financial backbone of the Southern
states
deem it my duty to issue these
plain warnings, and to urge every
farmer in the territory likely to be
affected to go about putting up
oefenses this year and without de-
lay.
Remedies are Simple.
The detail remedies will be gen
erously furnished by your state
agricultural department stations, or
the Federal department of agricul-
ture. Roughly speaking, they are
few and simple. They consist in
using an early maturing variety of
cotton, that the crop may be gather
ed before the weevil has attained
it's greatest power for DAMAGE; in
tensive cultivation, which will pro-
duce a maximum fiber to the acre;
burning over the old fields after the
crop is gathered; and above all cul-
tivation of other crops not succepti-
BILE to the weevil
The Farmers Union News, pub
lished at Union City, recently pub
lished statistics showing that Geor-
gia spends annually for products
other than cotton more than $17O,-
100000 year. Every bit of these
products can be grown in and every
In Georgia. The amount we virtual
ly give away to other sections for
the food and farm products our own
acres should bring forth Is nearly
$2O,OO0,000 in excess of our re-
turn. in Georgia, for the cotton
crop.
What is true of Georgia is rel
atively true of other states not yet
touched by the weevil. AS l have
previously commented, the trend to-
ward scientific agriculture, diversifi-
cation and intensive cultivation is
impressive, but it is only on the
threshold of what 1t should be.
And the boil weevil is forcing our
hands! 1t is compelling us, In
self preservation, to turn to a sys-
tenn we should long ago have en-
braced voluntarily in self interest.
/ feel that the peril Is so real
that the warning should be com
mensurately solemn. Begin to fight
the boil weevil now. If you do not
1t is going to dig great holes in
Southern progress and prosperity.

Ella White, a colOred damsel of
the Tenderloin, was hailed into the
court Monday upon the charge of
running q blind tiger. The cvi-
dence seemed to be pretty conclu-
sive and Ella was given the alter
native of paying two hundred simo-

months in Jail.
Ella has long been under the sur
veilance of the officers. but She
had managed to escape the clutches
of the law. However her domicile
was too popular not to have charms
greater than her own personal ap-
pearance, and when the police went
through her effects with a search
warrant Monday morning they dis
covered three gallons of booze that
had been left over from the Satur-
day night sales. Ella protested
against the Outrage" with a show
of righteous Indignation, but when
the Mayor imposed the fine she re-
laXed and went into Mysteries.

CRAZE FOR AUTOS
Affecting Business in England-COm-
 plaints of Painter and Fur niture Dealer.

Washington, Sept. 2S-Craze for the ownership of autos in England has struck hard blow at other lines of business. Conditions are described by Consul Albert Halstead, at Bir- mingham, who says in report:
 '"The increased use of the automo- bile in England, while it has brought prosperity to the automobile and cycle makers as well as to those who deal in accessories, automobile clothing, and other articles atta ched to the trade, has apparently had a corre- spondingly detrimental effect upon some other businesses. For instance. one of the leading house painters and decorators in Birmingham tells the writer that people are spending their money on automobiles and their up- keep instead of on the redecoration and painting of their houses, so that his business had been seriously af- fected
 People, he stated, were living more in hotels and on the roads. This was confirmed by the head of the largest furniture and house-furnishing store in the Midlands. The furniture ly affected by the desire for the auto mobile. People were spending less time at home, caring less for the at tractiveness of home, and devoting their surplus money, and even more than their surplus, to the purchase of automobiles and their. upkeep; many, it being stated, purchasing motor cars without any idea as to the cost of their maintenance and the loss belief was expressed, however, that as the British people are home low ing, the present craze would eventual ly subside.''

Ten More Bodies
 Of Maine's Dead
Making Total of 34 Recovered
 From Wreck During Present Work

Havana, Sept. 2s-Ten more bodies have been recovered from the wreck of the Maine. making total of 54 since the present work was conmene- ed. Six were taken from the engine room region and four from the quar- ters of the petty officers. Other bone s have been sighted.
 There has been a temporary check in the work of clearing away. the mud from about the wreck owing to the fact that water which has been allow ed to enter the cofferdam to Hquefy the mud has broken through the tenn porarg bulkhead just forward of the rnidships section constructed for the purpose of enabling workmen to des- ,cend and explore the, interior of the ltndestroyed part of the ship.
 Although the. officers in charge of the work maintain reticence, every in- telligent American employed on the work knows that they are. convinced by the kupheaved bottom plates that there was terrific outside explosion. The stem of the vessel has been b. cated. It is' swung to port and deep ly embedded in the mud. This con- firms Ensign Powelson5s conclusion that there was mine to port of the ships keel and forward.
 The explosions in the magazines On the French battleship Liberte are, said to contradict absolutely the idea that the Maine was blown up by her own magazines, as every phenomenon &C., companying the two explosions is dis metrically different.
