Pomona and
County Fair Oct. 5
Gransers Will Meel In L'Anse = Good
Program Exhibits Wanted

The members of the L,Anse Grange
on Tuesday evening decided that their
date for the next county meeting
would be held Saturday October 5, and
they have also arranged for county
fair on that date in connection with
their meeting. Tht Upper Peninsula
Development Bureau has urged every
one of the Is counties in northern
Michigan to give fair and it was up
to the members of the Grange to get
busy and push this project through.
This county located as it is, in the
heart of "Cloverland, . having the best
farming lands has never demonstrated
its ability to have display of its pro-
duce on exhibition for the entire county.
The meeting and exhibits will be held
and shown in the Opera house and all
farmers, grangers and citizens are ear
nestly requested to get their exhibits in
and make the display as large as possi-
BILE. The best exhibits will be sent to
the 500 at which place the State con-
vention of the Michigan Grange will be
held this fall. A splendid musical and
vocal program will be arranged, also
some good speakers secured.
This will be big undertaking for the
members of the L'Anse Grange and the
financial support of the businessmen is
earnestly urged.

PYRoTEcHNIc DISPLAY
COPPER COUNTRY FAIR
The Big Attraction This Year-"Fal Of
Port Arthur"

The management of the Copper
Country far will this year be enabled
to offer something novel in the way of
amusement to the people of this sec
tion, the action of the Houghton busi-
ness men in agreeing to help defray q
part of the cost, making it possible to
bring here one of the best pyrotechnc
displays to be found in the United
States. The fair management has
made practice each fall of giving as
a special feature some novelty hither-
to unseen by the most of the people of
this vicinity, one year having exhibit
ed dirgibe airship and the next year
hydro o-aeroplane, and now this year
they will bring the Duffield-Newton
fireworks as the big outdoor attraction.
The Copper Country has never seen
a big pyrotechnic display saeh as the
Fall of Port Arthur" to be given
here next month. 1t is far and away
the biggest thing in the fireworks line
imaginable and will make an ordinary
Fourth of July display look like the
flicker of a match alongside of bon
fire. The exhibition will be given Oh
three separate nights, with fifty separ-
ate items and will be shown from an
chored scows in the lake opposite the
Amphidrome. The bombardment of
Port Arthur, the closing number, is a
realistic representation of one of the
noted engagements of the japanese
Russian war, two warships being shown
in fiery outline and city lit up by
flames being weird and thrilling part
of the show. 1t will be worth going
miles to see and will doubtless be one
of the most popular displays ever offer
ed by the Copper Country fair. O.

To ! Teach Farming.
Every Rural School Must Train Boys
and Girls in Agriculture,

Agriculture must be taught in every
primary school district in the state of
Michigan where there are eighth grade
students This subject is included in
4 he course of study which has just been
organized by Superintendent Of Public
Instruction Luther l.. Wright, act
ing undet the Dkw state law whichpro-
vides that the superintendent of public
instruction must prepare and have
printed course of study which must
be pursuedfin all district schools in the
state. The course Of study is now a
vailable for distribution and contains
some important changes.
The addition of agriculture is perhaps
the most important change. The course
of study requires one half a year in.
, tensive work with text book in the
eighth grade and recommends work IN
nature study and school gardening lead
ing up to this subject Agriculture
will be included in the list of subjects
in which the rural students must pass
an examination in ord to complete
the eighth grade. The study OF agri-
culture viii necessarily be elementary.
taking up t6e1es;ing Of soils, seed corn
and other essentials.
The required course of study has
been considerably simpiiied, the sub.
iects being reduced to reading, pen
manship, spelling, grammar, arithme.
tic physiology, grammar, civil govern
ment, geography. history and agricul-
ture. Nature study, drawing, music
and bookkeeping are given as supple
mentary subjects to be taken up if the
teacher has time and considers their
introduction advisable.
The stress laid upon the Importance
of oral or mental training in arithmetic
and language work is most emphatic.
Superintendent Wright is firm advo-
/ cate of the virtue of oral methods and
\ insists that they be faithfully followed
in the rural schools. Hereafter the
! teachers examination questions in ar
ithmetic will be- made up largely of
mental problems and the time in which
they must be answered will be shorter
( ed.
The 1912 course of study will contain
entirely different poems for language
and memorizing than have been pre-
viously published in the courses OF
study Another feature will be an ex-
tensive discussion of sense training
methods showing how it should be cor.
related with geography, language. his.
tory and other subjects.

Report from Washington De-
clares That Efforts Are Beng
Made to Get Legislation
Through Congress at Once

A bill asking for an appropriation of
something like 100000 for the pur-
chase of the entire proposed Mahuka
federal site in Honolulu will be intro
dnced during the short session OF
congress- and with powerful support
behind it, WIN be urged as one OF the
important nteasures to be passed by
tibet. body before it's adjournment next
March.
At least this much is tie rumor
coming fromsyery reliable sources to
day. 1t is understood the matter of
the Mahuka ;site has been taken up
in committee. in Washington, that de-
finite figures and data have been OBJ
tanned, sandtitsi is thought that the ap-
preparation tiIl will be one of the first
new meast";s introduced and given
active con. liberation Immediately after
the holidays.
The figures given above as the prob
able amount the bill will call for are
merely approximate, yet while not
authoritative are regarded as ap-
preaching the total sum that will Re
asked for the federal building site pro-
ect in this c';y. Businessmen con
versant with values in the downtown
district place Sl50,000 as a conserva-
tive figure on the owners and lessees
interest in the E. O. Hall property, at
the corner of Fort and King streets.
This is the only part of the proposed
Mahuka site on Which a definite valua-
ton has not been set by federal jury.
The totai &c" the remaining portion
already has been placed, after thor
cugh hearing. At 1856. .569.S2.
The Secretary Of the Treasury
originally authorized the local federal
officials to proceed with the condemna-
ton of the entire site, and to agree
to a total figure OF not more than
s350,0O0 1t has been apparent recent
ly however, that the valuation could
not be kept within the amount set
and for that reason the Appropriation
bill probably will ask for about $50.-
6CC more than congress originally
stipulated the site should cost.

owns the E. o. Hall property, and y.
