The citizens of the county have
voted so many times for Hon. Mat
thew Bush for Judge of Probate that
the habit has become firmly fixed,
and this is not the year to swear off
on the habit. Four years ago the
Democratic party practically en-
dorsed him by not naming candi-
date for the position, and not few
favored the same course this year,
realizing that Shiawassee county
never had more conscientious or
painstaking man in this most import
ant Office. His years of experience,
his knowledge of the intricate prob
lens which enter into the settlement
of many estates, his ripe judgment,
and his unquestioned honesty are
factors which will win for him re-
newal of his commission for four
years more

Pigeon Brought Luck.

1t is one of the pet beliefs Of the
fishing fleet folk that when a white
bird flies aboard a ship at sea good
luck is bound to follow. And il a.
white bird happens to fly aboard a
brand-new craft it insures the vessel
with all kinds of Joy forever. Out ON
Georges, recently, little pigeon fut-
tered down on the deck of the good
ship Mary, perching on the wheel box
Result, good luck. Although Captain.
Whalen's boat struck mighty hard
weather it came through without a
scratch and landed 10000 pounds OF
fish, mostly hake and cusk, which IS
pretty nearly the record catch for e.
maiden trip. The pigeon looked as. IL
it had had some pretty hard luck itself
before it fell in with the Mary, how
ever. One of it's wings was badly
torn, as if a gull or hawk had taken
a piece out of it. The men aboard
took good care of the pigeon, giving
it plenty Of food, although they made
no attempt to confine it to any one
part of the vessel. The bird made
friends with every one, especially the
cook, and refused to eat except out of
the mems hands. AS the Mary came
up the harbor the bird was adeck--
Abreast of Governors island he sud-
denly took wing and flew away. The
men said it looked to them as if the
bird had recognized his surroundings
in the inner harbor and had flown for
home.

When Fish Go to Bed.

Did you know that fish go to bed i'm
the winter? Prof Dyche, state fish
and game warden for Kansas, says:
"Sure thing, fish have beds. / have
seen them piled up four and five fish
deep for space at least 8 by 10 feet
Usually they find place below log
or some kind of an obstruction in a.
stream where there is an eddy. sThey
can maintain their positions there
without much effort. l don't know
whether they sleep or not, but fish viii
spend most of winter in that way.
when the water gets extremely
cold the fish become sluggish. They
can move around little, but they lose
all their alertness. They can even be
caught by hand. All you need to do
is to cut hole in the ice after it has
been frozen over for some time. Some
fish will come to the hole for air. 1t Is
an easy matter to slip your hand un-
der the fish slowly and you may lift
him clear of the water before ne
makes wiggle.

LIKES OLD-FASHI0NED HOUSE

KITES TO CARRY AIR SCOUTS
French Military Man Has Devised a
Scheme Which Authorities
View With Favor.

While the enthusiastic airmen havei
succeeded in putting France far ahead
of all other countries in the way OF;
military aeronautics, one captain, Sa-
cOnney by name, has been doggedlyi
working over man-carrying kites, OF
which so much was once expected,
but which have been put in the shade
by the more showily performing aero--
planes.
A short time ago he made an ascen-t
sion out at sea, carried up by series
of kites that were towed by man of
war. He claims that it is simple
matter to make observations and that
it is much easier to regain the Ship
than if he tried to come down from
an excursion by aeroplane.
His latest adaptation, and one that.
has made military authorities take no-
tice, is a combination of automobile
and kite.
His outfit consists of an automobiles
with a windlass that is operated by
the motor, trailing truck carrying
the kites folded up and squad Of 20
men. The train can attain a speed of
about 16 miles an hour.
The speed Of the motor to some ext
tent makes up for lack Of wind, and
ascensions are safe where they would,
be dangerous under ordinary condi-I
tions. The big kites make reconnoiter-l
ing easier than from an aeroplane, and
the apparatus is much handler to put!

buried instead of using for our more
unfortunate fellow man. We have
marvellous opportunities, but we have
not realized or accepted the respon-
sibilities which go with the oppor-
tunity.
Kentucky, the first state in the
South to establish free schools, has
been asleep for nearly fifty years on
public school education and now
wakes to find herself tagging in the
rear of most of her sister states in
this important matter We were
asleep when we allowed our rural
schools to retrograde.. We were
asleep when we did not keep the
school apace with the development
and growth of the nation. We were
asleep when we left the whole matter
in the hands of the school teacher
and neglected our responsibility to as
sist him and stand by him. We were
asleep when we sent men to the leg
islature unfit to grapple with this
question and most generally indiffer-
ent to it.
Thank God we are awake now and
before it is too late. Awake and on
guard, and, if we as sentinels for edu-
cation on the watch towers of progress
go to sleep until the school house is
made thing of credit instead Of a
thing of reproach, until the stain of H.
literacy is wiped cut, We deserve the
fate of any sentinel who goes to sleep
at his post. A man who does wrong
and does not know he has violated
the law is not exempt from the pen
atty, but the man who knowingly vio-
lates the law is more culpable. While
We were ignorant and Indifferent to
the hack of advancement in our schools
We were nevertheless responsible, but
now that we are fully aware of our
unfortunate condition we are doubly
responsible if we do not respond to it.
The precious jewels of the common
wealth are it's children. The future
Of the state depends upon them and
they depend on us. Are we going
to polish them with an education to
fit them for life's duties and obliga-
tions and citizenship, or are we going
to allow them to grow up in ignorance
to become paupers and criminals? 1t
Is burning question which appeals
to manhood, which appeals to intelh-
gence, which appeals to cur hearts.
Have we heard the cry which comes
from the mountains and from the
isolated sections all over Kentucky?
l, for one, have heard it. 1t has been
ringing in my ears for ten years or
more and neither my pen nor voice
shall become silent in answering it
until every educated man and woman
In the state realizes our needs and
recognizes the responsibilities As
the aged Hamalcar in his camp fires
swore the infant Hannibal to eternal
hatred for Rome, so / would swear
you now by the intelligence which
beams in your eyes, by the enthusi-
asm which runs in your veins and by
the love which is in your hearts, to
swear an eternal hatred for ignorance
and illiteracy until we have wiped it
