t0eoSo0S OOuSOFO IN rOtTSU .6UorSOs
Calumet, Mich, Jan. 6.-lnterest in
the copper miners strike today center
IN tho expected arrival here Of Gov
ssncr FeE1is, who will endeavor to bring
shout settlement Of the prolonged
strike.
The governor will arrive soon after
the departure last night Of John B..
Demsmore, solicitor Of the department
after failfn9 to bring together the op-
posting interests.
According to word received here Gov
ernor Ferris started for the copper
country early today from his home in
Big Rapids. When he arrived here It
Il expected he viii at once begin con-
h sultation with the labor leaders and
mine operofors.
For some time the governor has been
urged to make an Investigation Of the
strike.
Little Faith in Governors Efforts.
Company managers and union leaders
to-day prepared to open up every
4nyanve os information which the gov
ernor may desire to explore.
At the same time both sides were
dubious OF the ability Of Governor Fer
ris to find any lasting solution Of the
trouble.
The general opinion was that signs
pf further activity In federal circles, es-
pecially in regard to the deportation Of
Charles n. Meyer president Of the fed
grafton. were responsible for the gov.
srnoe's determination to visit the dis-
trtct. Il was pointed out that the gov
ernor spurned every invitation to come
here ~hen the strike started last July
1 and had manifested little intention OF
forcing his personality into the situa-
[ Mon since. In fact, the time when he
could accomplished anything. 1t was
said, had passed long ago.
Unien Recognition Bono Of contsntion.
John b. Densmore, Of the federal de-
partimeut Of labor. failed to end the
strike after he had first learned how
gaar the union would go. and then he
i ma tried to pursuade the companies TO
meet IL. 80, far as could be learned the
smployers have never been asked Of.
i 0csaIly 70 give their last word" and
the governor may md some field from
4 Ehelr CORNER.
Tfose who advanced this thought,
4 #h0wever, were willing to concede In the
next breath that there would be little
lihelihood OF the employers receding
fEom their stand that only men who
ss.e;s4 yrenovnce all ahiliation with the
union would be received AZ workmen.

BATTLE C0NTINUES---RESULTS INDECISIvE
COUNTY DRY
 BY 349 VOTES
Hays Has Lead of 7S4 Votes Over Kinney and Both Acts
 Receive Big Majorities.

In the general election of Sep tember IA, 1914, the returns of which have been canvassed, Jackson county gives a dry ma jority of 349, number of miss ing precincts bringing down the estimated majority, based upon the early returns.
 Governor Hays received a plu- rality of 784 votes over his Re- publican opponent Kinney, whose vote was 245 and that of Hogan, Socialist, was 179. The total vote of the county was 1,569.
 Acts No. 1 and No. 3 were giv- en large majorities, the child labor measure receiving 745 ma jority and the publicity bill AS.
 Amendment No. IA, known as the bond amendment, was also given magnificent majority of 429, while No. 15 had lead of only 6, and No. 16 of 238. No. 15, the placing of legislators on a salary, and No. Is, creating the office of lieutenant governor, fell far short of receiving a majority of the total vote cast, as is re- quired, to adopt amendments proposed by the legislature.
 The road tax had but 164 cast against it in the entire county, and 1,248 in it's support. It was almost unanimous. The sale of native wines carried the county by ten votes and w. H. Nolen, "the share cropper", led the ticket in the county, receiving an even 1,500 votes.

THIS A GOOD
SUGGESTION

The Near and Far man in the
st. Louis Republic comments as
follows:
A subscriber to The Mexico
Message suggests that the names
of rural churches and school
houses be painted on the build
ings so that persons passing thru
strange ncighborhoods can iden-
tify them. 1t would cost perhaps
n quarter to paint the name
above the door of building.
This is good suggestion and
should be passed along and acted
upon generally. "What church
is that?' or ''What is the name
of that school7" is a frequent
question.

We often hear it said, "This is
a forgetful age" 1t also seems
to be an age of surprises. Some
surprises make us glad and some
surprises make us sad. But JOY
was the surprise last Saturday
when the Rush Hill Methodist
Sunday school, with well filed
baskets, marched into the home
of Mr.. j. G.. Maxwell and remind
ed him that the following day
was his birthday. After the
shock of the surprise, which
can't be described, was over, the
men got busy gathering boards
and built long table in the
yard, which was soon loaded
with chicken, duck, pies, cake,
pickles, salads, cabbage, beans,
potatoes, apple sauce and every
good thing womenfolks know
how to prepare. Every one pres
ent assisted Mr.. Maxwell in do
ing justice to that bountiful and
delicious spread. The old folks
remained in the yard after din
ner and had a good social visit,
while the younger ones took pos
session of the parlor and sang un-
til they could sing no more. Miss
Laura, the talented daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Maxwell, entertain.
ed with some very beautiful mu-
sic. The crowd departed late in
the day, wishing Mr.. Maxwell
many returns of the day. How
much better this old world might
be if all of us should strive to
bring only pleasant surprises to
those about us. This little Sun
day school band, while their
members are few, are faithful
loyal workers. And though many
a Sunday morning more men and
boys can be counted lettering OF
the streets than are in Sunday
school, they never become dis
couraged, but become more faith

An Appreciation.

Mexico should be especially
proud of the fact that through the
efforts of Miss Annie Lewis. Miss
Edith Etheridge and Miss Eliza
beth Price, with their cO-workers,
they have made possible the en-
acting of a pageant among us.
The Pageant is, first and last, of
the people, and that it is forward
movement in the development of
a greater democracy in the drama
is the belief of those who are
watching its progress, which has
gone forward rapidly in the past
ten years.
The American pageant associa-
tion announced for the year 1913
a list of forty-six pageants, festi-
walls and masques presented in
fifteen different states and Mexico
now adds her tribute to that list.
This new pageant is dramatic
expression of the people. 1t is n
means of expressing their artistic
love of beauty in poetry, music,
acting and the dance; their his
tory of the past, their love and
appreciation of the active today
and the hope and the aspirations
of the future.
Students point to the fact that
out of the old forms of the pag-
cant enacted five hundred years
ago, fully two centuries before
William Shakespeare, that peer
less dramatist's works were made
possible. They now point to the
hope that one of the results of the
present pageant will be that we
"a people of our beloved America
may be making possible the com
ing of greater dramatist than
Shakespeare, one to represent our
American age. Again, let US APP
preciate the efforts Of the writer's
and makers of the Mexico pageant
and now that the time is ripe for
the presentation, let actors and
audience enter enthusiastically into
their part in this movement
which is being watched with crit
ical eyes by the lovers of art in
literature.
