DISEASE WITH BAD WEATHER

But Little Fighting Is Going On EX-
cept in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Where the Combined Servian and
MOntenegrin Assault Continues
With Vigor.
LONDON.-Weather conditions,
exceptionally favorable during the
first six weeks of the war, now have
changed so radically as to force a
marked diminution of operations in
all the war areas except in Bosnia
and Herzegovina, where the COM
bined Montenegrin and Servian as
sault continues with vigor.
Presence of Disease.
Accompanying the reports of bad
weather comes the ominous news of
the presence of disease. Hungary
has acknowledged an outbreak of
cholera among her troops, and while
it is denied officially the scourge is
said to have attacked the Servian
armies. General epidemics of mild
er diseases are expected in the west
ern fields, where the troops on both
sides, drenched by pitiless rain. are
lying in flooded trenches.
Operations in Alsace-Lorraine are
said to have come to a complete stop
on account of snow storms. Rain
and floods are reported also from the
scene of the Galician operations,
probably accounting for the cessa-
ton of the Russian attack on the re-
treating Austrians. Storm condi-
tions will interfere greatly with mo-
tor transports and troops taking the
offensive may be greatly handicapped
by inability to bring up their artil-
lery.

The potato EXHIBIT at Menominee

The success of this county in the

of Mr. Hoopingarner who has been
specializing upon potatoes this year
and who has given personal encourage
ment and assistance TO the farmers in
this line of work.
Out of twenty six exhibitors from
this county only six failed 10 get
prizes and the exhibitors who failed
had excellent specimens but they were
in such close competition that it took
the very top notch potato TO carry
off any prize.

Of Amasa. In letter 10 the Houghton
Mining Gazette he says;
.'We are very much pleased to hear

with a road coming from Coyington.
This petition has met with success
throughout the county and the county
board is very much in favor of building
the road, providing Baraga county
will meet rs on the county line from
the north Thi, only means 10 build
about two miles Of road IN Baraga

to the development OF your county as
well as ours and therefore we need
your help. Kindly keep il before the
public and also take it before your
county board and have yonr board

Large Audience Monday

Garret j. Diekema came to CRYSTAL

republican ticket at the city hall.
A very fine audience. considering the
difficulty in getting people out to
political speeches these days, greeted
Mr.. Diekeina, filing the hall fairly
full. "A number of ladies were in the
audience.
Mr.. Diekema talk was highly
enjoyed by all. even the democrats,
and there were number OF old timers
present to listen 10 him, had good
word to say for the speech after he
had finished. He took the position
that the voters have been following
men and not ideas and along that line
he discoursed for an hour.
He discussed the business situation
and the causes that have lead TO the
present condition of affairs. Not an
i'll word was said OF any candidate, in
fact Mr.. Diekema maze IL point to

A VISIT FROM BAwDEN
Candidate For Congress on Demo-
crat Ticket Spent a Day Here

Frederick J. Bawden of Houghton.
candidate for congress on the demo.
cratic ticket from the 19th district.
came down from Houghton last week,
spent day in the county on his way
to Gogebic and again visited with us
over night on his way back.
Mr.. Bawden was accompanied by
jim Byers one OF the most prominent
and well thought Of citizens OF the
copper country and democrats Of the
first water. Mr.. Bawden is him self
very we'll thought of in his own county.
In fact the Village of Houghton,
which is republican in its politics.
gave him vote OF confidence when
he announced his candidacy for con-
gress.
In conversation with Diamond
Drill reporter Mr.. Bawden spoke very
encouragingly of his chances. He is
aware that he has a big job on his
hands but figures that the Macdonald
vote will split mp the republicans to
such an extent that he has an oppor-
tunity for getting across, especially
as he had the promise of many republi-
cans to support him.
While the Diamond Drill could give
Mr. Bawden no encouragement so far
as support is concerned our choice
being w Frank James-yet we are
pleased to commend him as a man and
a citizen and we congratulate our
democratic friends upon having such
excellent timber in the field as Mr..
Bawden portrays.

SPIKES A ssNsELESS RUMOR
Editor Guck of Mining Gazette Gives
His Opinion on Copper Country Vote

The people of the iron county have
been told how Mr.. Bawden is going
to sweep things up north and how the
tight lies between Macdonald and
Bawden. Those acquainted with con-
ditions in the copper country didn t
pay much attention TO these rumors
but those who are not 80 posted may
have taken stock in them.
We are in receipt of the following
letter from Homer Guck editor of the
Mining Gazette, which. we think
will set aside any suoh senseless
rumors.
Ny dear Mr.. Conlin
It Is reported here that a rumor
has been circulated through the iron
country that the republican leaders
here are knitting James for congress.
lt is not true and there is no excuse
for the circulation of any such story.
The people and the leaders here are
going to vote for James | say this
after a careful canvass of the situation.
James will get as many votes here
as Bawden and Mcdonald combined
in my opinion. You are at liberty 10
publish this ii you think il will do
anything toward the contradiction Of
senseless rumors,
Very truly,
Homer X. Gnck
Mr.. Thomas Conlin,
Crystal Falls, Mich.
In this connection we may say that
from another source we have received
the following regarding the general
situation in the copper country.
My dear Conlin
Just line TO give you my
personal opinion of the situation in the
copper country, after little investiga-
tion. | think that this county
tHoughonl will vote straight republi-
can, except Ferris apd believe that
il will be about even between Ferris
and Osborn Progressives are making
lot of noise but people are not paying
any attention TO them.

 FOR 20 YEARS
 RESIN0L CURED

Dec. 8, 1913: tI had eczema for 20 years. It started on me when I was but l3 years old and am now 34, and have suffered all these years. It started with small pimples all over my face, arms and hands. My hands would swell up so that I could not shut them, and was almost blind. It would itch, then burn, and had to keep the af- fected parts wrapped up so that would not scratch them. couldn't sleep at all-just walked the floor whole night.
 'I have tried many different remedies, and spent large sum of money, but had no relief. Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment were recommended to me-, They gave me great relief after the third application, and after using four jars of Resinol Ointment and three cakes of Resinol Soap, am completely cured" (Signed) Mrs. H.

STUNPS SHOULD BE
 BOREDf0R BLASTING
Electric Drill Outfit Should De Used
 For Work. .

Washington, D. C., Aug. 7-The far ner who desires to blast large num- her of stumps to clear his land for farming may find it profitable to bore holes in stump with an electric drill outfit and place his explosive in the holes. This methid applies part1cu- l3rly to the longleaf-pine region Of the south where stumps have deep taproots that require more than ordin- ary digging to dislodge them. The United States department of agricul- ture will shortly issue farmers bulle- tin (No. 600) describing an economical outfit for boring holes into obstinate tap roots where explosives may be in serted One of these outfits costing not more than s460 should be able to bore on an average 500 stumps a day, covering during this period from ten to twenty acres of land.
 The cost of clearing land with this outfit and the use of nitroglycerin powder will range from $5 to SIS per acre, provided the wood from the stumps and roots can be sold for enough to pay for their disposal. The maximum number of borings is pos sible where the stumps are thickest. Tn experimental tests, from twenty to seventy longleaf-pine stumps have been bored per acre.
 In dislodging a stump securely rooted, the easiest way is to place ex- plosives in a hole bored or dug di- rectly under the center of resistance. Sometimes farmers endeavor to place the charge in the earth outside of the stump, but in regions where the trees have long deep-growing taproots the practice has not been satisfactory. It usually results in blowing the dirt away from one side of the tree and only loosening the stump to a slight degree. The department is now recommendeng an outfit that will make a hole deep in the earth within the taproot where the center Of resist ance lies.
 Outfit Satisfactorily Tried.
 The outfit recommended has been tried by several turpentine companies who use the stumps of the longleaf- pine for distillation purposes. The holes are bored in the taproots by means of electric drills, power being supplied by a dynamo run from a gasoline engine mounted upon wagon. These companies seem to have found it profitable to employ this equipment, and after careful investi- gation, the department recommends the following as necessary for a satis- factory outfit:
New Britain herald., 1914-08-07
Lower Grades of Powder Economical.

The lower grades of nitroglycerin powders have been found most econ- omical in blasting stumps with tap roots. The higher grades tend to sl1atter the stump but do not throw it out of the ground as we'll as the lower grades The experiments in- dicate that twenty per cent powder is cheaper and more satisfactory than twenty five per cent powder.
