There he employs 80 men TO catch
frogs at the rate of 20 cents q

men make from s. to $3.50 per day
means a daily catch Of from 5000

dozen in stock all the time. The
farm is penned OF like a stock yard.
except that trenches take the place
Of pens. Mr.. Marsack recently tried

losing about 500 dozen found that
frogs could be kept successfully if
they were not skinned and he has

ELECTION KEPT HUNTERS Al
HOME
Many Men Who Usually Go to North
Woods Remained to Vote

The effect of the general elec-
tions on the deer season in Michi-
gan is matter that has not been
given much thought by the public.
1t is fact that thus far the hunt
has not been very general and while
the absence of snow contributes to
this condition it is true that the
hunters waited for November 9Th.
Many annual hunting parties, usual
ly in camp long before this stage of
the season, are still unorganized be-
cause members wished to vote be-
fore taking to the woods, choosing
this method of insuring the exercise
OF their franchises rather than the
uncertainty of going into camp With
the intention of coming out for cleo
tion day.
In previous presidential elections
there were very many instances Of
hunters returning to vote, though
they were compelled to walk many
miles and sometimes endure priya-
tions in order to accomplish their
object. The difficulty is not so
risk it. There probably never was
presidential election in which the
individual voter took such a deep in
terest in the political questions un-
der discussion.
Fortunately, from the hunters
point OF view, election day fell at
a time favorable to the deer slayer.
The new law gives each licensee 25
days out of the 45 days of the sea-
son in which to hunt. He could re-
main at home till election day, cast
his ballot and await the result and
still have 25 days, the time liimt of
his license, for his sport.

Auto 7akes Fire
Passengers Jump
r.. \. BALDWIN AND WIFE HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE NEAR CLIO.
Gasoline Exploded When Engine
Stalled--Car Mass of Flames
Both Leap for Ditch.

Forced to jump for their lives
when an explosion enveloped their
automobile in flames Sunday evening
Supt. F. n. Baldwin of the Flint Oak
Park power plant, and his wife mar
rowly escaped death. Mr. and Mrs.
Baldwin were driving on the Frank
enmuth road, about two miles north
of the village, when the engine gave
some trouble and Mr.. Baldwin in
vestigated the source. He discov-
cred that the engine was overheated
and that owing to the bad condition
of the road at the point where he
was stalled. that it would probably
be impossible to get out without aid.
Hailing a passing farmer he asked
for a lift" but not having chains
or rope, nothing could be done. He
then turned his attention to the en-
gine, thinking that it might respond,
but OF a sudden there was an eX-
plosion, and the car was a mass of
flames. Mrs. Baldwin jumped from
the car into the ditch at the side OF
the road while her husband hurdled
in the other direction.
Neither received injuries outside
of the attendant nervous shock, and
are very thankful to have escaped
with their lives.
Flames attracted farm residents OF
the neighborhood who came to the
scene of the accident ready to render
assistance. Nothing could be done,
however. to save the car and it is a
total loss. The only thing which
Mr.. Baldwin saved was one glove.
