new TEXTBOOK
DESCRIBES U. P.
School Biographies Recently Pub
Iished Tell of Local Country

For the first time in history a school
text book has been prepared that gives
proper consideration in its text to the
upper peninsula OF Michigan.
The volume is school geography
OF Michigan written by Prof. l.. H..
Wood, head of the department OF
geography at the Western State Nor
NAL School at Kalamazoo and is de-
signed for use in the eighth grades
OF the state. Through the co-opera-
ton OF the Upper Peninsula Develop
ment Bureau, the author was fur
nished descriptive views OF the diff
ferent districts OF the peninsula and
authoritative information that is in
cluded in the text.
The volume is concise and com
plete physical, Industrial and section
al geography of Michigan and is east
ly the best volume of its kind that
has yet been prepared.
In the volume the upper peninsula is
given equal consideration with the
lower peninsula in the descriptive
text and in the Illustrations Clover
land outshines the district south of
the straits.
In addition to the. ordinary geo.
graphical information the volume care
fully traces all OF the principal rivers
and describes the latent water power
available. 1t gives authoritative in
formation concerning soil conditions In
every part OF the district together
with the mineral ranges and ore de-
posts. 1t is in fact the first authori-
tative work that has ever been pre-
pared on the whole state OF Michigan.
By securing proper recognition for the
upper peninsula in the text book
school children throughout Michigan
are to be acquainted with actual con-
ditlons in this portion OF the state.
The work will bring wonderful in
iuence To bear upon the rising genera
ton in dispelling the ancient preju-
dice and misinformation that has here
tofore existed in the outside world
concerning Cloverland.

.CLOVERLAND POTATOES
BEST IN THIS COUNTRY
FARM EXPERTS SPEND YEsTER-
DAY AND TODAY VISITING
TUBER PATCHES.

That the efforts of the Upper PEN
Ursula Farm bureau will be successful
along the line Of making Cloverland
the best In this country. is practically
assured and according to statement
made by II. G. Johnson OF Norfolk, w
", and William Stuart Of Washing
ton. ID. G.. experts, the copper country
crop will be the best in the United
States.
The farm experts arrived here yes
terday noon and set out Immediately
on a tour OF inspection OF the farms
The principal farms in the vicinity OF
Houghton were visited and later a trip
was made to the farms in and about
Lake Linden. This morning the ex-
perts left again on their tour Of in
spection and will visit practically
every farm in the copper country.
When asked this morning by n re-
porter for The News as to his opinion
OF Cloverland potatoes, compared with
those grown i'm other districts Mr.
Stuart stated that he was positive the
potatoes in the copper country were
the best he had ever seen. 1T is still q
little early To predict just what the
crop will be-" said Mr.. Stuart, "but
from the condition OF the vines l fee
safe in stating that the crop will be a
good one and indications are that the
crop next year will far exceed any in
the United States"

SUSPECTS may
Be TRACKED BY
BL00DH0UNDS
Subject to Be Taken Up With
Chairman of County Board

Confident that the murderers OF Al
bert Ruelle are still hiding in the
woods south of Houghton, and that
they are sheltered in an isolated farm
house, Sheriff Cruise today will take UP
with Chairman Edwards of the county
board the matter of securing blood
hounds To aid in the chase. While
there is possibility that even this
may be futile, because OF the heavy
rains which may have obliterated the
the only hope OF the sheriff to appre-
bend the perpetrators.
The only late information concern
ing the suspects came To the sheriff's
office today from Arnheim, where a
man. with his head swathed in BAN
dages and bearing close resemblance
To one OF the quartette, was seen
crossing the swamp In the Sturgeon
river flats. A squad OF deputies left
for the scene at noon. Another force il
situated near KeWe nav Bay and Il
third is securing the woods along the
south bank OF the canal.
The nature of the hold-up and the
assault leads the sheriff to the belief
that the deed was not the work of To-
cal men. The masks which were
found on the floor Of the house in
which the murder was committed were
similar to those worn by professional
gunner. In the event that the sher-
in's belief is correct, the complete
getaway of the suspects may be ex-
planned. The daring escape of two OF
the men from Undersheriff Heikkila,
within sight of the Jail, also strength
ems the belief that they are profess

DEFINES SCOPE
OF OPTOMETRY


The frequent use Of the work OPP
tometry and the fact that the public
In general frequently links the practise
OF an optometrist with that OF an OPP
tician or an oculist prompted an in
quiry into the practice.
The Michigan State Board Of Ex-
aminers in Optometry is composed Of
Benson w Hardy of Port Huron; Otto
Supe. Sault Ste. Marie Frank Pan
coast, Hastings; Ernest Elmer Mus
kegon, and r. Scholler. Hancock.
Asked as to the scope and limita-
lions Of optometry a member Of the
board volunteered the following infor-
nation: Optometry-Opto derived from
the Greek word opticos (the eye) and
iaatry a modification of metron (meas-
ure) hence, optometry properly means
measuring the eye. while person who
measures the retroactive and function
ing Of the eye is known as an OPTIC
metrist
The definition given i'm the Michigan
law regulating the profession of OPP
tometry is the employment Of any
means other than the use Of drugs for
the measurement Of the powers OF
vision and the determination Of the
accommodative and refractive states
Of the eye and the scope OF its func-
tons in general, and the adaptation
, of frames and lenses in aid thereof"
The query as to the difference be-
tween an optomerist, optician and ocu-
list was answered as follows:
An optometrist is a person who
measures the eye as TO its retroactive
and accommodative state and the
functioning of the various muscles
controlling the movements Of the eye
ball.
Optician. one who manufactures OPP
| teal Instruments This term is also
| by popular usage applied to the mer-
chants and vendors of optical goods.
Ooulist, a physician who makes a
speciality Of the treatment Of the eye.
Optometrists do not use the title or
prefix DR.. The opometry law forbids
| the use Of this title by those licensed
to practise optometry in this state. 1t
I
| also prohibits the sale and use of pat
ent medicines and proprietary eye To-
tions by said licentiate.
Optontetry is strictly non medical
and has absolutely nothing in common
with the medical profession, and the
trainers Of the optometry law took
| great care TO avoid all encroachments
upon medical domains and to keep
the profession Of optometry absolutely
clean and free from all quakery.
one Of the greatest victories on rec
ord for optometry is the decision Of
the board Of directors Of the Panama
Pacific international Exposition not to
grant any Spectacle and Eyeglass
| selling concession.
In their campaign against the grant
| ing of the concession above referred
to, the optometrists were ably assist
ed by the governors of many Of the
states: the American Civic Association
and other societies and last, but not
least, the publicity encouragement and
help given by the press.

COOPERATIVE DELIVERY.
Idea is Not a Dead Issue in Copper
Country and May Be Tried.

While nothing has been heard of the
proposed plan for the installing of
Merchants COOPERATIVE delivery
system in the copper country for the
past few weeks. Secretary George l..
Price of the Copper Country CONNER
cial club declares the idea Is by no
means a dead issue and the plan will
be tried provided conditions here are
satisfactory To further back up his
statement the secretary produced
letter from G. X. Berry of Marshall
town, Ia, who has been interested in
the idea and is eager to install such
n system here. The letter explains in
detail just what is necessary before
Mr. Berry will come here to help in
organizing the system.
The letter follows:
81 am willing to come TO Houghton

me at this writing that the best hing
for you to do is to put this matter up
TO the grocerymen and get them all
interested in a Location and someone

more than a block west and up the

HOUGATON COUNTY OPENS
AN EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
CLER N. r. KAISER TO SEEK PO-
SITIONS FOR MEN IDLE BE-
CAUSE OF WAR.

with a view of finding positions for
curtailment OF mining operations, due
to the European war, Houghton coun-
ty has established an employment bu-
reau County Clerk Kaiser is in charge
of the bureau and steps toward finding
work will be taken Immediately. Cir
culars will be sent to various employ
ment centers, particularly TO those in
which positions for farms are filled,
and in this manner 1t is hoped to Sc
cure work for at least thousand men.
The county will assist, so far as is pos
sibe these men in reaching any point
at which they may obtain work.
This action was taken at a meet
ing of the special committee appointed
by the supervisors to devise plan Tor
the employment of idle men. The pri-
mary object OF this committee was to
extend relief in the event that condi-
tons become distressing and the sec
ond Is to insure the retention or the
high class of wage earners who work
in the mines. In the event that work.
men have to go away and they find
work trough the efforts of local bust
nessmen or employers. ii is highly
probable they will return as soon as
conditions right themselves.
In suggesting the employment bu-
reau plan, the committee does not
abandon the plan to bond the county
for 100000 for road building purposes
However, the season has so far ad-
vanced that little could be accomplish
ed toward setting the wheels in mo-
tinn for tho issue until next spring

ell, at it's regular seml-monthly ses-
sion, for the construction OF new
