Michigan Is the Greatest
Producing State in
Country.

Michigan is the greatest maple
State, producing nearly one-half
Of the annual cut. Wisconsin
stands next on the roll, and then
Pennsylvania, New York and
West Virginia, in that order. In
the early days as many as 5000
maple trees were destroyed in
clearing a New York State farm
But luckily they left enough 10
furnish syrup for the buckwhes'
cakes, and that precious remnant
has had too much vitality to az
out.

Good Cheer
By EBERT HUBBARD

bling heart of youth and no
whiskers.
I never saw an Elk who was
very rich, excepting in kindness
and good cheer, But they all have
all the money they need, even If
not all they want.
Religion Now and Here.
The Elk is not troubled about
saving his soul-in fact. he is not
troubled about anything, Per-
haps that is one distinguishing
feature-he does not worry, nor
shake the red rag OF wordy war
fare. He believes that everything
is all right-or nearly so-and
that his task is 10 do his work,
and not to bother other folks any
more than he has to-
You can not down a man who
can laugh at himself The Elk

AM not a timer, but II I ever
jine the liners I will begin
with the Elks.
without any special written
code or creed, the Elks stand for
a certain standard of intellect
and ethics. The man with an
elk's tooth on his watch chain,
or the antlers in his buttonhole,
has no quarrel with the world. He
accepts life and finds it good.
The true Elk does not condemn,
disparage, nor rip regulations up
the back.
Faith in the Universe.
Realizing his own limitations,
he is lenient in his judgments to-
ward those who have been tempt
ed by fate beyond their power TO
resist. This quality of mercy, l
have noticed, is strongly implant-
ed in the Elk nature.

r HAVE just been reading a
Government bulletin that has
filled me with renewed thank
fulness for the fact that had the
good fortune to spend my boy
hood in the country, where I made
the intimate acquaintance of the
queen of American trees, the
sugar maple, which Is far more
wonderful in its gifts to mankind
than any of the Wanted monoco-
tvledons of the lazy tropics, with
their ready-made bread and
ready-soured milk.
If you have ever tapped"
sugar maple and drank the juice
fresh from the tree; If you have
ever attended a sugar party and
tasted the tndescribable candy"
produced by throwing the boiling
syrup upon a bank Of fresh snow,
where It is quickly frozen into
mamma that seems to combine the
fiavors and perfumes Of all the
fruits and flowers of Paradise; If
you have ever eaten, on your
morning pancakes, real, genuine,
unadulterated maple syrup-syr-
up that would pass even DR.. Wi
ley's inspection-syrup that would
turn sour in the mere presence
Of a patent can; if among your
fathers treasures was a "secre-
tary," or big writing desk, made
of that most exquisite of cabinet
woods, "bird's-eye maple"-then
you will rejoice with me over the

raj bulletin" to which I refer.

/ N CONCERT vEN

The Lager orchestra most happily
surprised the music loving public
with their program Of high class
music, which was given In the Elks
hall last Friday night. Many Of our
citizens scarcely realize that we had
musicians in our very midst who
could handle music of such high
order. It was the first public appear
ance OF the complete orchestra with a
concert program and more than
pleased those who heard it. Each
number was most ably handled and
brought rounds Of applause from the
audience.
The singing Of Misses Eleanor
Davis and Olive Whaley added great
ly to the well balanced program. In
"Cavalleria Rusticana" Miss Davis
was most pleasing. Her voice is rich
and strong and with the organ and
orchestra accompaniment captivated
her audience completely. Miss
Whaley's rendering Of the solo
".Nymphs and Fauns" was very good
indeed and brought a hearty applause.
She responded with a bright little
Scotch song which was also well re-
ceived. Mrs. H. A. Davis and Miss
Florence most ably assisted the or
chestra in ~perfecting their carefully
prepared program.
When the curtain rose for the final
number the entire concert band ap-
peared. At the first note Of the
"Star Spangle Banner" the audience
rose. This piece, like all others, was
given with great expression and
proved to our citizens that we have
musical organizations that we are to
be proud Of and that are worthy of
our support.
The musicians taking part were
Prof. Lager, first VIOLIN. Fred
Masserek, second violin; B. F. Rau,
trombone; J. A. Rose, cornet; Mr..
Helm, flute; F. A. Windmiller, clari-
net; w. r. Everett, traps; Misses
Eleanor and Florence Davis, piano,
and Mrs. H. A. Davis, organ.

V|RAG BOY LOSES LIFE
Jumped Into River With Clothes on
at. Picnic Grounds. Did Not
Come Up.

Another very sad accident hap
pened Saturday about noon when
Adam, the oldest son of MI. and Mrs.
Caspar Virag, vas drowned in the
Heart river west of the picnic
grounds in the McGillivray pasture.
Three grades, under the supervision
of Misses johnson, Eikenberry and
Johnson, were having a picnic.
Adam belonged to the sixth grade
which had had their picnic at Green
river a week or two before. The
children had all been warned to keep
away from the river, but when some
one wanted some water the boys
dared him to get it at the Cooke farm
which was on the other side Of the
river. He threw the pail across, took
off his hat and sweater and tried to
dive in. Instead Of going in head first
he struck on his stomach, which may
have taken his breath away. He
came up struggling, but with his
clothes on could not do much. The
children on the bank tried to throw
the ends of bride reins to him; but
he was not able to grab them. The
children were all too small to do much
and the teachers were not there when
he dove in and only Miss Bessie
johnson saw him in the water at all.
He was within two or three feet of
the opposite shore and turned around
and started back. From the time he
entered the water he never uttered q
word, and at the beginning all
thought that he was going to make
it across and SO the teachers were
not called until it was too late for
them to render any assistance.
"Tut" Butler was sent to the pump
ing station, where he telephoned to
the city for aid. Meanwhile Clarence
Scott rode in on his horse. Several
Immediately went out in autos. The
river was then dragged and the body
recovered in less than a half hour.
A physician began work on the body
but life had passed out. The water
was cold and it is likely that the boy
was seized with cramps.
Adam Virag was born in Lasar-
fald, Hungary, March 23rd, 1899, and
was nearly Ia years and two months
old. The funeral was held from St
Joseph's church Monday morning.
