History of SerVid Has Been
Stormy One, HbOundin9 i'm
Many Strange ViciSSifudeS

The history of Servia. which refuses
10 abide by the dictates OF Austria
Hungary and whose attitude of def
ance may lead To an European war. has
been very stormy one. abounding in
many abrupt changes and strange vi
cissitudes. For centuries Servia was
the buffer state between the Austrians
and Hungarians on one side and the
Turks on the other. In 1856 the Hun
garians. under IIunyadi, dispossessed
the Turks of Belgrade, but i'm 1921
Solyman the Magniflcent recovered it.
In l1lS Belgrade and part of Servia
We're ceded To Austria, hut Austria had
To recede it To the Turk 2l years later.
The Turks proceeded To eXterminate
all the nobility and made Servia ma
tion of peasants. In 1904 the peasants
revolted against Turkey. under the
leadership of the mountainee- Serb.
CZerny George, better known rs Kara
george. and had the aid Of Russia.
Thus they secured a partial autono-
my. The Napoleonic wars compelled
Russia To withdraw her protection and
Turkey again became absolute master
Of Servia.
AS soon as Napoleon was over
thrown, Milosh Obrenovitch, another
peasant. repeated the feat Of Kara
george and in 1917 he was elected
prince OF Servia, but it was mere
title of honor. The war Of 1S2S-29 be-
tween Turkey and Russia resulted in
granting of autonomy to Servia and
Obrenovtch came into actual enjoy
ment of his title. Turkey maintained
her garrisons in the principal Servian
towns. When Russia and Turkey unit
ed in 1889 To force n constitutional
government upon the high handed Mi
Josh Obrenovitch. he resigned and his
son, Milan, succeeded. Milan was a
weakling and his brother. Michael, a
man of sterner stuff, succeeded. The
Karageorge family compelled his alb
dication in 1912 and Alexander Kara
geor9evitch became prince. He proved
to be willing tool i'm the hands of
Austria and Turkey and was deposed
i'm 1858. Old Milosh Obrcnovitch re-
turned to power but died in 1860, and
his son Michael succeeded. 1t was
with Michael that the present trouble
really had it's beginning, for he schem-

THAT TONNAGE TAX

State Geologist Allen declares he is
opposed to the tonnage tax. Because
he assisted the legislative committee
of the Michigan grange in its prepara-
tion of a tonnage tax bill, by supplying
certain information, it was reported
that he was an advocate OF specific
tax on iron and copper. Dr. Allen, on
his recent visit 10 Houghton, set that
report To rest by stating he was op-
posed TO any form of tonnage tax. He
gave certain facts TO the grangers be-
cause it was his duty as a public Of
ficer The geologists declaration
that were / not a state officer
would be found in active opposition TO
the tonnage tax" is the logical conclu-
sion of a man who has given the SUBJ
ject considerable study. He knows il
would be an unjust tax, as any man
knows who is posted on copper and
iron mining in the upper peninsula.

eurIsson and His Fence.


When Postmaster General burieson
was n member of the house he rushed
into his committee room one day ana
announced that he had at last obtained
the iron fence around the old Penn
sylvania station in Washington.
A cub reporter who happened to be
present wrote n story about the fence
and after stating the facts expressed
the opinion that il would soon adorn
one of the public parks in Burleson's
district in Texas.
The Texas correspondents wired the
story to their papers, and soon Burle-
son was deluged with kilograms.
Encounterlng the cub reporter, Bur
Lesson angrily demanded To know what
he had written about the fence.

asked the reporter.

FREAKS OF AN IOWA CYCLONE.

number. Following Is an extract from
the letter than won second prize. 1t
Is true story OF the freaks of an Iowa
cyclone
MIR. r., his wife, and eight children
were living in Iowa. near the city of
Grinnell, on as pretty a farm as one
would wish TO see. After n very hot
day. the three littlest folks being fast
asleep in bed, the older members of the
family sat upon the porch i'm the early
evening, longing for a cooling breeze
The air had been hot and lifeless all
day and sunset brought little relief,
of a cooling shower.
About eight o'clock n strange rum
bling sOunnd startled them: il was not

with sense of peril. for the roar grew
louder each minute. n hasty glance to

one had scarcely reached it when a
terrific crash overwhelmed them. The
house was apparently lifted up bodily
and dropped, driving some Of the tim
bers into the earth like tent pegs.
Mr.. r. felt himself lifted in the air.
and the next minute was reused by a
terrifying plunge into cold water, which
brought back his scattered senses. lie

well! Instantly rising to the top, gasp-
ing for breath, he felt something float

five-year-old son, daZed and frighten-

flight. The pump had been torn away
by the cyclone, leaving "A two-inch
iron pipe standing straight up i'm the
middle. Raising the boy to his shoul-

managed to work his way to the top
of the well, long hard pull. with a
mind full Of dark forcbodings. Max
ing his way over the dismal wreckage
of broken timbers and PROSTATE trees
he found his wife with two of the
younger children. trembling with ter
ror but unhurt. The eldest daughter
came running from the orchard with
the baby in her arms; she had found
him upon the ground unhurt, and he
had not even cried.
THE three boys were calling from
the cellar, where they were imprison-
ed. The stove, organ, and a heavy
desk had coasted in when the floor had
been dropped askew. and il was n hard
task To set them free, but they. too,
were safe. 1t is almost unbelievable
that cyclone that had scattered their
coy home along the prairie for mile
or more and had not spared enough to
make n respectable henhouse had left
every one of that large family unhurt

tanned the withdrawal of the Turkish
garrisons and was going ahead with
his scheme of unionizing the Servian
states with fine enthusiasm when he
was assassinated in 1868, presumably
by agents of Austria, although the in

of Karageorge, which had aways been
subservient To Austria.

Of more liberal form was set up. In
1876 Scrvia and Montenegro declared
war against Turkey, being spurred to
that action through Russian intrigue.
Russia did not openly join i'm this
war, but furnished many recruits, but
the war proved failure and Rus

That was the way the Populists
went To the close Of their spectacular

the Progressives have managed TO run
and they had made a much better rec
ord. Their congressional delegation at
one time reached a total of twenty six
for the two houses and they controlled
the state government of a number OF
states. while the present third party

Washington and has made slight i'm

NO ENTHUSIASM FOR WAR.

England is lined up with Russia and
France, but il has no desire to become
embroiled in an European war such
as is threatened by Russia's interest
in the Austro-S -Servian situation. II
has trouble enough at home with its
prospective Ulster revolt. Neither is
France, with a political upheaval ON
its hands, pleased with the prospect
of a clash of arms. Russia has a big
strike TO contend with. involving many
industrial interests i'm all parts Of the
empire, and this may deter 1t from
taking hasty action in support OF
Servia. That Russia VIII not rush in
to conflict with Austria-Hungary

NEW INDUSTRIES?

The Copper Country Commercial
club has endorsed the only effective
plan to bring new industries to this
district-the organization OF a holding
company. Unless the project can be
put through the club will be greatly
handicapped in it's efforts 10 attract
such enterprises as will give employ
ment to many men.
Without the material assistance Of a
holding company the club will
fail to live up fully To the expec-
tations Of the people Of the copper
country who look to it for an expansion
of the districts Industrial activities.
In that event, the blame will be upon
the people themselves. The responsible
ity Of the project rests entirely with
the public. II has all to say whether
or not the plan is 10 be a success or
failure.
At tomorrow evenings mass meeting
at the Red Jacket town hall the de-
tails of organization and objects of the
proposed company will be explained
and all present given an opportunity TO
express their views or ask questions.
The meeting should be largely attend
ed, for it will be the opening Of cam
paign which will mean, if successful,
greater future for Calumet and the
copper country as a whole.
We want new industries and the

10 get them. Every dollar put into the

The Little Things of Life.

Around the little things of life
a world of storm and sunshine lies.
Yet those too busy seldom see
The tired look I'm other eyes
Around the little things of life
A wealth of loving mem'rics center,
And joys undreamt Of by the world
The humbest dwelling places enter.
Around the little things of life,
Connected by n thread so slender.
Are long lost smiles and bygone tears
Which helped TO MAKE our hearts more
tender.
Alas, how many things i'm life
Are those OF which we cannot boast!
Actions and words we think our best
How poor and weak they are at most!
More fun of love- OH may they be-
Less full of self as in tho past!
Help us, dear Lord. to offer thee
More perfect little things" at last.
