1t Is sad that when stranger en-
ters New York City, the information
the public wants most concerning him
is, Glow much is he WORTH" in Phila-
delphia they want to know, "Who
were his ancestors?" In Boston they
ask the question, "How much does he
know" but in Chicago. which is
typical of the middle west, the all inn
portant question, is, "what can ne do?'
Frequently business men complain
because they are unable to get salts
factory employees. Men arc engaged
who prove competent but unreliable
or reliable but incompetent Com
petent, reliable men build up the
business of their employers, receive
promotion and open up opportunities
for others of their kind. There is q
growing demand for more men Of that
type.
In the schools under the supervision
of the right kind of teachers, more
boys who will become desirable men
can be trained. a number of articles
have appeared in educational papers Of
late, on moral training in the schools.
Certain books have also appeared deal

the subject will not be emphasized at

When suggestions similar to the

not dangerous. Meet them with

the first primary election, the Column
bia State made strong night in an ar
gumentatlye manner against Mr.. Fea-
therstone and thereby brought down
the wrath of a large majority of the
papers of South Carolina charging 1t
with 'unfairness.' They had practical
ly nothing to say about Mr. Blease he
having distinctly defied them to make
their charges, If any they had, to his
face. They failed to do so. Now they
are making one Of the ugliest and most
slaudcro, s campaigns against Mr..
Blease that has ever been waged in
the State Of South Carolina. What do
the newspapers think of this fight at
this time? Is it fair" Mr. Blease and
his friends have no manner now in
which to answer them for they will
publish nothing favorable to Eleose:

There is citizen over in South
Carolina by the name OF Blease who
has done a remarkable thing. The
readers of almost any South Carolina
newspaper IA week or two ago would
have found good reason for the belief
that Blease was everything that was
bad or undesirable. to say the least:
that in expressing a desire to become
governor he had shown objectionable
presumption; that his candidacy was
fit subject for jest. and that he had
not the ghost of chance. The Char

newspapers In the whole State had

victory FOR the Hancock high school
team over the Calumet highs by the
score Of To 0 on Saturday The Wis
itors, although not quite as heavy as
the locals, appeared To be slightly fast

out but clean. both teams depending
upon open play to advance tho ball
There was some fumbling on both
sides. Renwick, the Calumet quarter
back was the individual star for the
locals, although Curto and Lamondra
also played well. For the visitors,
Barrett. Lehto and Mcrllle were the
stars.
Hancock's one touchdown was the
result of n fake kick. after the ball had
been advanced to the thirty yard line.
II was made by Capt Lehto after a
brilliant run through the open field.

SICKNESS CAUSED
BY CARELESSNESS
EPlDEMlCS AMONG CHILDREN
CAN BE AVOIDED SAYS
SEC ETARY OF
HEALTH BOARD.

DIR. Dixon, secretary of the state
board of health, has issued the follow
ing bulletin:
The death rate in Michigan for Aug
ust this year was relatively low. It
was only II per thousand, while last
year August gave 1873 per thousand.
That means Il cut Of close To twenty
five per cent of the death rate.
In August, 1910. 746 babies under
two years Of age died OF diarrhocal en-
tcritis, i'm Michigan; i'm August. 1911,
only 33S. That is cut of close to 60
per cent in absolute numbers, and
when the increase in population is
taken into account 1t makes the record
still more favorable. The great saw
ing of lives among infants is what
contributed most toward the low death
rate from all causes. by reasoning
from the relation which the August
rate bore to the annual rates for 1909
and 1910, the annual rate for 1911
should be but about IL per thousand.
Now II is possible to bring it to that

months as much active interest will
be taken i'm regard to prevention OF
'epidcmics as was taken this summer
to prevent infantile diarrhoeas.
Wholesale epidemcs Of Whooping-

Diphtheria are unnecessary and should

Pneumonia will claim a great many

SOUTHERN OCEAN WHALING.
Up-to- Date Methods Employed by the
NorNveqians.

One Of the most remarkable feat
ures of present day shipping and one
which is not very generally recognized
is the enterprise Of Norwegians in
southern ocean whaling. The frs.
trial. which met with immediate sue
cess, was made in 1903 by a Sandef-
iord firm on the advice Of Capt. Carl
a. Larsen, who was I'm command Of the
Antarctic at the time OF Otto Nordens-
lljold's south polar expedition and who
reported that the sea literally swarm
ed with whales.
From 1901 to the end OF last June no
fewer than fifty companies, represent
ing an aggregate capital Of nearly two
millions sterling, have boon formed to
prosecute the industry and according
TO the latest available information most
of them have paid large dividends ran
ging between 80 and 100 per cent.
good deal Of Norwegian success is
admittedly due to the fact that they
have bought up large number of sec
ond hand British steamers and adapt
ed them for the purpose. And in this
connection it Is of interest to note that
two Of the latest purchases have been
the Dundee steamer Loeb Tay acquir-
cd for C 100000. and the well known
Brocklebank liner Curnarvonshire for
which e14,OOO was paid Another
contributory cause Is that old methods
have been discarded and the task of
locating and capturing whales i'm the
vicinity of Kerguelen island, the South
Shetlands. Southeast Africa and the
west coast of South America is al
lotted to specially fitted vessels. some
for whale catching and others for stor-
ing and carrying the oil to European
ports.
Stimulated TO emulation, firm on
the Tyne is to dispatch an expedition
consisting of three whalcrs, a factory
ship and an oil carrier at the end Of
this month for operation near Ker-
guelen island and the South Shetlands.
Two of these vessels are to be propelled
by Diesel oil engines, the first ships OF
the kind TO be thus equipped. and all
will be fitted with wireless telegraph
apparatus so as to be in constant COM
munication with each other. Much, it
is said, depends upon this experiment,
as other British companies are prepar-
ed To follow suit.
During the last few weeks several
new Norwegian concerns have been
formed to attack the whaling fastness-
es Of the far south, while two German
companies are TO operate Off the New
Zealand and Australian coasts The
Cape Town chamber Of commerce is
also giving it's support to a movement
for establishing the whaling industry

WEAPON LAW TO
BE CORRECTED
NOW APPLIES TO ONLY TWO
COUNTIES IN STATE BUT WAS
PLANNED TO INCLUDE
ALL COUNTIES.

1.-THE act passed at the last session
Of legislature relative to carrying con-
ccpled weapons applies TO all counties
in the state. but is so worded that a
penalty for violation of its provisions
may be enforced only in Wayne ana

recently of the supreme court.
On section l of the act it is set
forth ii shall be unlawful for any
person, i'm counties of 10000 people
or over, To go armed with concealed
weapons. except by permission or
proper authorities. The act provides
for a board to pass upon the qualih-
cations of persons, not police officers.
to carry dangerous weapons, and sets
forth that i'm counties where there is
no regularly organized police force,
the sheriff, prosecuting attorney and
chief of police in the city where the
license is sought. shall constitute the
board.
''F'rom the wording Of section 3 il
is evident that the legislature intend
ed to make the law apply to all coun-
ties, but the wording of section 1
would make conviction i'm counties
outside of Wayne ana Kent very diff
Gcult"
Section reads:
"The prosecuting attorney and sher-
iff i'm counties i'm which no regularly
organized police force exists, and i'm
counties where one or more regularly
organized police forces exist the pros
ecuting attorney sheriff. and the chief
of police of the city. within which
such license Is sought, shall constitute
board, whose duty II shall be and
who shall have power to grant license
~ carry n revolver. pistol or pocket
billy, and the said board shall meet
on the first Monday i'm each month at
the county seat for the purpose Of
hearing applications TO carry revolt
YER pistol or pocket billy. A majority
of said board shall constitute quo
rum"
Attorney General Kuhn has not
passed upon the validity Of the act
as yet but il is said that he will be
called upon to express an opinion in
the near future and that the legisa-
ture will then be asked to correct tho
mistake.

GOOD HUNTING SOON.
Partridge, Deer, Duck and Rabbit May
Be Killed Sunday

1t will be legal to shoot partridge,
duck, rabbit and deer next Sunday.
Tho season opens oct. 10. and from
the amount of fine shot shells passing
over the counters OF local hardware
stores, the slaughter will begin early.
The birds are said to be more plenti-
full this year than i'm many years past,
and the reports from the woods viii
draw many out with n gun and n
dog who would not otherwise go. Guns
are being polished up, the dog Is being
trained to come To heel. ammunition
is being procured. time tables are be-
ing consulted, and there will be a run
on the lveries for rigs for Saturday
night and Sunday.
The season was especially favorable
for the birds and there are said TO be
more of them than in years. Other
years the springs have been wet to
such n degree that the young birds
have been drowned Those who have
been in the woods during the summer
express surprise at the great number
of young birds. Rabbits are also re-
ported To be plentiful
Although there VIII he no scarcity of
deer this year, It is unlikely that many
hunters will go to the woods until the
first snowfall, as 1t will be difficult to
track the fleet footed animal before
that time. AS the deer license is only
good for twenty days from the date Of
issuance there probably will be no
great demand until the conditions be-
come more favorable
