or all the amazing forces of nature
her thunder and cataracts, oceans in
wild storm and volcanoes in floods OF
molten rock, and those hidden mon

ability to get over anything, her in

Haven't YOU often wondered why
the whole world did not die of the
cholera? And those other plaques no
one seems able to stay, the typho, the
smallpox, the bubonic plague, be-
sides the awful pests of history, the
red death and the black death; why
have any of them ceased at all?
One reason OF this is that the four
huge rooms in nature'e house are full
OF health supply. These rooms are
sunshine, water, air and earth.
For Natures other name is The
Healer She is the original and

PARTRIDGE PLENTIFUL.
Returning Hunters Say Shooting is
Best for Last Ten Years.

The partridge hunting this fall is
the best that has been enjoyed by
copper country hunters for the past
ten years according to statements made
by hunters who have returned from the
woods the past few days. The hunting
along the Copper Range in the neigh
borhood of the Challenge mine is said
TO be excellent Notwithstanding the
bush fires that have been raging in
this district the past few days and
which have been threatening the tim
Der.
Deer are not as plentiful as was
expected and many hunters have re-
turned disappointed. Earlier in the
season it was common for berry pick
ers TO meet with one or two OF these
animals in the course of a day spent
in the woods but now that the season
is open 1t seems harder to find them.

VALUE OF FORESTS PROVED
In Addition to Conserving Rainfall,
They Are Of Other Aids to
Agriculture.

While the rainfall of any region Is
dependent on dynamic influences In
the atmosphere, and can be affected
only in very slight degree, If at all,
by the extent Of that region covered
by forests, il has certainly been shown
that woods and forests conserve rain
fall. The briefest consideration indi-
Gates the likelihood that this must be
so, because vegetation and the ground
covered with vegetation absorb water
and allow il to percolate slowly to the
lower levels, whereas on bare ground
the rainwater runs quickly away to
sea. But trees serve another purpose
In aid of agriculture; because, as some
recent experiments show, they act as
windbreaks and shelters to growing
crops. The distance to which the pro-
tective influence Of trees extends is
estimated at twenty times their
height, though complete protection,
such as might be afforded TO growing
wheat in gale, extends only TO dis
lance eight times the height of the
trees. Partial protection is about
twelve to fourteen times the height.
They also check evaporation of rain
fall, their influence extending five
times their height TO windward and
eighteen times to leeward, and pre-
serve as much as 70 per cent of mois-
ture ordinarily lost. Finally. their
influence heats both air and soil, in
creasing the diurnal range of temper
AZURE by as much as nine degrees
Fahrenheit.

OFFER ENTHUSES
MILITARY men
Members of State Board Consid-
er Site For Maneuvers

Members of the state military boare
and officers Of the national guard who
went to Crawling last week and in
spected the tract Of land which r
Hanson, a wealthy lumberman of that
city offers the state as a permanent
camp site for the militia, are eathus-
iastic over tho proposition ana there
Is a possibility that the offer viii not
30 unheeded.
The tract, which includes about 49,
900 acres of cutover timber land. is To-
Gated in Crawford county. II IS valued
at from IS 10 So per acre In it's CEN
ter is located a magnificent lake
whose waters are the playground for
thousand OF wild fowl during the
spring and fall OF the year. Deer and
practically every kind of game find a
refuge from the hunter in the timber
still standing on the big tract OF land
that surrounds the lake.
Without affecting its natural beau
" or its usefulness as a game pre-
serve, the members Of the state mill
tary board are Of the opinion that it
can be transformed into one Of the
most magnificent camp sites in the
country.
Most Of this land was purchased by
Hanson from the state more than
quarter Of century ago. and the tim
Der which he cut from the many acres
yielded him a fortune. Some time
ago he conceived the idea that ii
would be a nice thing TO return this
land 10 the state 10 he used as a park
or a game preserve but when il was
proposed that he turn the land over
TO the state 10 be used as a maneuver
ground, he Immediately accepted the
suggestion and placed the matter be-
fore the military board.
Portage lake is entirely surrounded
by the land which Hanson proposes
10 turn over TO the use of the state
troops. Back from the lake stretches
miles Of land well suited for man
euvers. field firing ard bivouac canus
$1,000 acres. just three miles to the
south affords unlimited possibilities
in the way of field work
Capt. +. /. Wells, the regular army
officer who has been detailed by the
federal government as instructor and
inspector of the Michigan National
Guard, was member OF the party
that inspected the proposed site, and
he pronounced it oLs Of the finest he
had ever seen.
1t has not yet been determined what
action will be taken re-. tive to the Of
fer of Mr.. Hanson. The land IS Of
fered to the state with no conditions
imposed owing to the fact that much
land in the vicinity is rapidly being
cleared for farming purposes. Hanson's
tract which is now worth 100000 is
rapidly increasing in vallc. The people
Of Crawling are enthusiastic over the
proposal TO bring the state troops 10
Crawford county and are willing 10 do
anything in their power 10 secure the
camp site.

strong argument against extending
any similar treatment to Ireland for
the complaint of Englishmen in all
