charge to children Of INDECENT par
ents is an innovation practiced in the
public schools of this city under the
direction of Miss Mate Kinney, teach
er of health and hygiene. Last
month 1,G49 quarts of milk were
used in carrying out the plan. 1t is
now in operation at nine of the
schools and nearly 600 children are
being benefited by it. The Charity
circle contributes $35 a month to
maintain the service, the expense Of
which is limited to the cost of the

CARNATIONS are seriously considering
the mater of providing Miss Kinney
with small monthly allowances to
make up the deficits which are due to
the fact that the milk costs more

SUPERIOR OPPOSES
LAKE LEVEL RAISE
FEAR THAT PROPOSED PROJECT
WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF
MILLIONS.
OBJECT TO DAM IN ST. MARYS
Believe Wind Would Cause Inundation
Of Docks at Superior and Duluth
and Drown Much Valuable
Property.

Superior.-Through its CONNER
cial club the city of Superior has
gone on record as unalterably oppos-
ed to raising the level of Lake Super
Tor by means of power dam in st.
Mary's river at Sault Ste Marie The
fight may have to be carried to the
floor of congress as it is said that
body fayors the proposed project,
says the Superior Telegram.
The seriousness of the matter is
discussed by Capt E. D. Peck, in
charge of the United States engineers
for the local district. He states:
THE lake levels as proposed have no
relation to abnormal conditions of
lake level as produced by barometric
pressure, direction and velocity of
the wind, but relate to a normal level
only"
This means, that in addition to
having the level of the lake raised
two feet for FIVE months of the year,
there would still remain to be con-
sidered the additional raise in the
IldA hOi W 0NCt iCNGlS tduSCQ ~ INC
conditions alluded to by Capt Peck.
At the present time during a north
east gale, the water level in the har-
Dor is frequently as much as eigh-
teen inches, and even more, above
the normal level
With the normal level two feet
higher to begin with. and this I'M
usual height caused by the wind driv-
ing the water from the lake into the
harbor the level would be nearly four
feet higher than the present normal
level. This would be sufficient to in
undate practically every dock on the
Superior and Duluth water front.

creased 20 per cent as compared with
an increase of 1873 per cent. in 1912.
At the close of the year 65 associa-
tons were operating under the direc-
ton of the banking department. No
foreign associations are licensed to
do business in the state.

December 81, 1913, was $10,456 499 20,
as compared with $S,707,7 1856. De
cember 81, 1912. The number of mem

no. as compared with 23,292 the pre-
vious year. There were 229,320 shares
in force at the beginning of the pres

or reserve fund was S19,S3324.
Il am grateful, says Commissioner
Kuolt ito be able to report a more
general observance of the provision in
the law for the establishment and
maintenance of a contingent or re,
serve fund. Previous to 1913 a num-
Der Of associations were not comply
ing with the law, requiring them to
set aside at least five per cent. of the
profits at each dividend period as a
permanent fund which might be drawn
upon in case Of losses. During 1913
only a few associations failed to COM
ply with my recommendation in last
years report as to the building up of
such a fund"
