Dear Sir:
II would really seem very little fol

your country To pay you with an only
dry and brief thanks referring to tn,
great service that You are paying from
the columns Of your estimated paper
20 the rights Of my nation.
Dear Editor. am not really against
the policy of helping and curing the
poorness and misery of any nation @.
The world and consequently not against
the contributions that are taking place
IN Your country now for the benefit Of
the sufferers OF bulgaria from the last
warfarcs in the Balkans. ON the
contrary from the history Of my ma
ton the whole world knows, that
Greece from the prehistoric times up
10 her decay has helped ana benefited
the whole world materially and theori-
caily by the lights OF the civilization.
education, art. etc, and yet bulgaria
same Swing her the elemental lights
Of the christianity and education.
As | said before am not against
the policy OF helping Rugarla's suf-
ferers, but am against the way that
few of the v. S. papers are using to
advertise the contributions 10y piling
fantastic and false details of unbeen

last year
Really there are SO many plain and
clear reports To prove the falseness If
their publications that the columns of
Your paper would not be enough 20
hold them for many editions, but the
most handy reply that / see To their
accuses and which reply ! would like
that all the publishers as well as the
readers OF such papers would read. are
the official reports OF the consular
committees of the whole civilized

Alaska Purchased by the
u. S. AZ Years Ago Today
THEN

THEN
Forty -SeNen Years ago today the
United States purchased Russian Am
erica, tract as large as the Atlantic
states put together for $1,000 600. The
bargain was widely ridiculed. The
tract was called Stewards Ice Box"
after Secretary of State Seward who
was largely responsible for the pur-
chase. The United States gave il the
name Alaska corruption of the ma
tive Al-aN- eska. meaning "a great
country" The inhabitants numbered u
few hundred whites and a few thou
sand natives. There were no roads
Commerce was confined 10 fishing and
sealing. To the extent OF $4,000. 000 a
year. The people laughed, hut Secre-
tary Seward died with the predictiu'i
that another generation would say the
purchase of Alaska was the greatest
OF his administration.

the portion of the region known as the
Circle quadrangle published recently
as Bulletin 53S, geologic and topo-

The town Of Circle, from which the

FARMER MUST KEEP

So Declares Prof. L. M. Geismar.
County Farm Expert, In WRITING
on tho Tonnage Tax.

Prof. Geo VI. Gcismar. agriculturist.
of the Houghton Comfy Farm bureau.
was invited recently To attend tho
meeting OF CHANGERS at Marquette. at
which II. y. Seward of Stephenson
deputy master Of the state grange. was
the speaker. The meeting was held
March 10, the date OF the annual meet
ing OF the Houghton County Farm
bureau and Prof. Geismar could not
attend. In his stead he sent the fol-
lowing letter to Mr. Seward:
Il regret that your meeting at Mar
quette is called for the 10th. for the
annual meeting of the Houghtun Coun-
~ Farm bureau and of the County Po-
tato Growers association will be held
on the same day. were it not for this,

quette meeting If merely 10 voice the
sentiments of Fro. |. W. Byers of Iron

liable member of the Grange either n

tirst man TO point out the real cause
Of the farmers inetliciency when he
states that the farmer must remajl
the prey of other interests lust as
long as he continued to poke his noye
into other peoples business instead cfI
attending to his own.
1t is not a question of whether the
farmer, misguided by the political agi-
tator inside or outside of the Grange,
may succeed in shifting an insignin-
cant state tax onto the shoulders ~

is the consequences of the
shifting process upon the farmer HIM

aGitator will sneer at this, telling the
farmer that if he does not ship To- the

song: The farmer he feeds them all"
