live STOCK FARMING
0. K. FOR THE U. P.

The Upper Peninsula live stock farm
er is certainly on the right trail.
At this particular time when legis-
lators, investigators and literary geni-
fuses are concentrating on the popular
snbject of "The High Cost of Living"
(which is probably about one half ex-
travagance and the other half imagina-
tion); when the price of live stock
products is continuing to receive the
brunt of the attack, when the big wes-
tern meat producers of former range
pasture times are building fences, turn
ing on the water and cultivating the
land; when farmers on high priced land
in every section of the country are ask
ing "how can. we produce meat at a
profit" the u. P. farmer who is di-
recting his energy toward live stock
products is to be congratulated on his
agricultural foresight.
Now is the time to get in on the
ground floor with live stock in the u.
P. The production Of meat in this
country has followed pretty closely the
line of cheap pasture and there is no
other portion of the country now that
offers pasture conditions that can be
compared with those of Cloverland.
There are thousands of acres of wild
pasture going to waste every year and
tame pasture can be produced at a very
small cost. Five or six dollars an acre
invested in fire, fence and seed will
make pasture that would put envy in
the minds of stock breeders of other
sections. And winter feed can be pro-
duoed as cheaply here on much cheaper
land than elsewhere.
Furthermore when steer or q sheep
chews off a root sprout and thereby
hastens the death and decay Of the par
ent stump root or nibbles to the ground
a Seeding causing nasty snag of fu-
ture clearing operations to be "nipped
in the bud;" or when hog 'nosing'
around the clearing lifts up root to
the unfavorable conditions of the at.
mo,phere or lets the air get at large
green root, those same trifling accidents
continuing from morning till night, day
after day, increase the value of the
property many fold.
Live stock farming in the Upper
Peninsula of Michigan is q good care
right now.

PRETTY PEQUAMING
HOME WEDDING.

What was undoubtedly the prettiest
home wedding in these parts for years
took place in Pequaming Wednesday at
three o'clock in the afternoon, when
Harris G. Smith, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. B. Smith of L'Anse, and Miss Zoe
M. Proctor, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Proctor of Pequaming, were unit
ed in matrimony by Rev. G. P. Davey.
The home was decorated in pink and
white carnations tastily arranged
amid sprays of myrtle and art craft
baskets of carnations. The sister of
the bride, Mrs. B. P. Allen of Pequam-
ing, acted as bridesmaid, and the BROTH
er of the groom, Russell Smith, man.
ager of Ahmeek Mine, acted as grooms-
man.
The ceremony took place under a
canopy of evergreens dotted here and
there with white carnations. After
the ceremony sumptuous wedding
luncheon was served, and the bride and
groom departed for Chicago to spend
their honeymoon.
1t was very quiet home wedding
and only the most intimate friends and
relatives were present. There were
many beautiful and costly gifts, which
will remain as a memento to the happy
couple of the best wishes and congrat-
ulations of those whose privilege it
was to attend.
Mr.. Smith is bright and promising
young business man, having an extern
sive insurance business in these parts,
being also interested in the L'Anse
Garage and other local projects.
The bride is one of the most accom-
plished and popular young ladies in this
community, having taught the kinder
garten of her home village for several
years, and is leader in all social cir
cles.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith will make their
home in L'Anse, where they will be
welcomed by alarge number of friends.
The whole community joins in wishing
them a happy and prosperous welded
life. Mr.. and Mrs. Smith will be at
home after March 1st.
Among the guests present from out
of town were Mr.. and Mrs. William

PEQUAMINC RECANS
ITS LOST LAURELS.

In fast, clean game Of hockey at
Pequaming last Sunday, the Pequam-
ing team. evened up the series with
L'Anse, beating them by score of
8 to 8.
The game started off with rush, Pc
quaming scoring in the first few min
utes of play. The score for the first
half was Pequaming 4, L'Anse l. In
the second half Pequaming added five
more points to their end of the score,
L'Anse getting two. The last two Pc
quaming scores were made while the
opposing goal tender hung out the
mot Home" sign and went roaming.
The lineup of the teams last Sunday
follows:
L'Anse Pos. Pequaming
Beck center Andersen
Collins rover C. Van Able
Menard left wing Needham
Sanregret right wing R. VanAble
Nilsen point Neipert

The Pequaming team has been great
ly strengthened by changes in the line
up and practice. and they are getting
the combination work down better,
though many runs up the ice were
made from off-side plays. DR.. Mar
snail has the material and we see no
reason why he should not turn out a
winning team of puck-chasers. The
boys gave a dance last night at Pc
quaming, it being well attended.
L'Anse has had nice hockey
rink, 65xl6O, constructed on the local
ball grounds, and we look forward to
some good skating and hockey games.
An effort is being made to have ice for
game Sunday.

A young man calling himself Joe

or Negaunee, and being the agent of
some tailoring establishment. visited
the Hebard & Sons Lumber Co. camps
in September and took ten orders on
which he got advances of from five to
seven and half dollars each. He was
to deliver the clothing to the men at
the camps in month, but it has not
come yet. He is glib talker and, ac-
cording to his story, game sport. He
should visit the camps once more; no
doubt but that he would get what is
coming to him.
