A Suitable Punishment
BY RUTH CAMERON

Wen trouble comes to where I live

1t really astonishing how large a propor-
: tlon OF the trouble that darkens our
horizons and keeps US from being happy,
IS the creation of our own brains
There are few real troubles in the
World; death OF someone one loves is the
chlef of them; sickness is another: real
{ plunS poverty which withers lesser soul
with its deadly breath is another: un-
requted love is Observation-Disclosures when
one considers how largely love is subjec-
1--WE one might almost class that with the
troubles that we create; disgrace for ones
self or for those one loves is another.
suppose there are a few more real
troubles, but L haven't been able to think
OF them, although I've been trying to
ever since this subject occurred to me
rand that was some months ago. To tell
the truth 1 don't really believe there are
many more.
And yet, when you feel blue and niser-
able, when your horizon is darlened, how
often IS your unhappiness to be traced to
one OF these real troubles? Probably
not once out of a hundred times.
The other ninety-nine times you are
allowing your existence to be poisoned by
someone of the million million varieties OF
self-created troubles.
What do I mean? Why fretfing over
what people think of you, for instance:
making yourself miserable because you
cannot possess some luxury, WORRYING
over your work. fretting because YOU
cannot arrange the future, re-hashing
some past decision, torturing yourself by
useless remorse, and SO on down the in
finite line.
Some of your troubles have some slight
ground in present discomfort, some have
not even that, but are rooted simply in
the irrevocable past or the ungovernable
future. There is no question but that
fear and regret cause quite as much suf-
fer1ng as present trouble
Do you know what I sometimes think
when find myself letting one of the self
created troubles darken the blue sky
of my ought-to-be happiness? [ think
ut would serve you right, Ruth Cameron,
If every time you were wicked enough to
be blue over nothing, something to be
really blue about came to you"
You see, once on a time that did happen
to me. 1 had been fretting over one of
these self-created troubles when / should
have been perfectly happy, and then all
of sudden, the shadow of a real trouble
Swooped down upon me.
OF course it would be a terrible punish
ment to have that always happen. But
don't you think We almost deserve 1t?

WHO'S WHO IN
BARACA COUNTY.
AUGUST HUTULA.

With few exceptions, the subject of
this short sketch has done more for
Cloverland than any other person in a
short period. A man, who by his en-
ergy, push and vigor, has carved a
niche in the history Of Baraga county
and done great deal to make homes
for his people.
August Hutula was born in Finland
in 1864 aud lived there until 1888, when
he came to Ishpeming and there un-
derwent the severest toll, working in
the iron mines for two years.
DESTROYS of getting home, and in
those days without any capital to speak
of, our friend took advantage of our
Uncle Samuel's offer. and took up a
homestead near Trout Creek. where he
lived for eight years. In the closing
days of the nineteenth century he To-
Gated at Covington and, having that
far-sighted vision of the value of tim
ber, purchase three forties of the best
timber land adjacent to the railroad.
Securing number of his Finnish coun-
trymen, the timber was cut into cord
wood, logs, tagging, or whatever it
was most suitable for. AS the years
passed, he kept adding to his timber
holdings and selling his cut-over lands
to the Finnish settlers, and today many
splendid homes and farms dot the town
ship of Covington.
The holdings of Mr.. Hutula at pres
ent are approximately four thousand
acres, making him the largest individu-
al owner of lands in Covington town.
ship, if not in the county. His farm of
three hundred acres, is one point of in
terest which visitors are show. Upon
it are all the most modern machinery,
threshing outfit, steam traction engine,
gasoline engine, hay presses, etc. He
has general store, presided over by
his son, August, where everything inn
aginable can be bought. Deliveries
are made with an auto truck.
Thirty men are employed to operate
the farm. Thirty cows, nine horses
and registered Holsten bull are in
cluded in the herd of stock.
Mr.. Hutula is married and has nine
children. His home, standing on a
high eminence and facing the railroad.
is a model of comfort, luxury and con-
venience. Everything possible in the
construction was secured from his
lands. There are sixteen rooms in the
dwelling, all lighted by electricity and
heated by a furnace located in the
basement.
Politically, Mr.. Hutula is Republi-
can, though never an Office seeker. He
has been requested and urged num-
ber of times to run for the Office of
county road commissioner, but always
declined, his business activities forbid
ding. He has been highway commits
sioner of his township and during his
incumbency started an era of good
roads, which today shows the fruit of
his labor.
May Mr.. Hutula's example of pluck
and energy be followed by many of our
citizens and this wonderful Cloverland
be dotted with settlers of his stamp.
