The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1915-11-06

President w. ]. Richards OF the
Crystal Falls Club gave dinner to all
OF the members OF that organization
last Monday. Covers were set for 95
persons and they were all taken. A
more enthusiastic gathering hasn't
been got together in Crystal Falls in
it's history than was that bunch that
assembled last Monday evening.
After the inner man had been salts
fed, Pres. Richards explained that he
felt so satisfied at the loyal support
given him by all OF the members of the
organization that he planned the sup
per as an appreciation of their 10y
atty. He then entered into details in
the financial history of the club and
showed that the debt which was piled
upon the organization i'm the early
days of the club by dishonest stew
ard had been lifted and that the orig
inal Indebtedness caused by the re-
building of the building in which the
club is located has also been attacked
and will be lifted by next June when
the period allotted to the payment OF
the debt by the rent will have expired.
The membership OF the club has in
creased to such an extent that the
quarters are too small and in the near
future additional room will have 10
be acquired.
II is the intention Of the directors
OF the club TO look into the feas-
ability OF erecting a building in the
not distant future as home for the
Institution. II one is erected II will be
In keeping with the other excellent
buildings that have recently been put
up in this city. The directors are not
going to wait until the last moment
but will undoubtedly begin LOOKING
about soon for site.

A SPLENDID PARTY
Was That Given on Halloween BY
Number of Crystal Falls People

There may have been larger parties
given in the history of Crystal Falls
but never prettier one or one more
enjoyed than that on Halloween by
Mr., and Mrs J S, Jacka, Mr.. and Mrs.
II. ii. Abbott, Mr., and Mrs, Geo. Rol-
lin and Mr.. and Mrs. A. l.. Gholz at
the city hall last Friday evening.
The affair was in the nature of a
Halloween party, taking IT'S name
the evening on which 1t was given.
The city auditorium Is beautiful
without any additional decorations
but the ladies OF the party put the
finishing touches upon the scene with
dashes here and there beautifying the
outline and suggesting OF the occa-
sion. For their decorations the ladies'
selected Pumpkins, yellow Chrysan-
themums, and witches, the pointed
caps OF the latter. sending faint
creep through one OF an imaginative
turn OF mind. On the landing stood
two maidens arrayed in. the conven-
tional witch garb. minus the crooked
stick and the pointed cap. One OF
these directed the guests to the ball
cony. which had been prepared for the
reception of robes, and the other open
ed the swinging doors for the guests
to enter the main room, where was
aligned the hosts and hostesses. The
orchestra started sharply at eight
o'clock on a concert program of one
hours duration during which time the
guests were arriving and greeting the
party in the receiving line. The con-
cert was highly enjoyed by guests,
for whose comfort seats were arrang-
ed in the rear OF the hall
Promptly at nine O'Clock the con-
cert music was changed to that of
the dance A program of the dances
had been arranged and posted. Inter
sperced with the waltz's and steps
were a couple OF quadrills for the
benefit OF the older members OF the
party and Il was noticed that tho
younger people Joined in them fully
as enthusiastically as did the older
people.
Card tables had been arranged for
those who didn't dance so that there
was no reason for anyone not having
something TO take up his attention.
The card games were fully as inter
esting and as much enjoyed as were
the dances.
Just before lunch time. the music
was stopped and Sam Ham sang a
couple OF vocal selections In his usuai
excellent manner This feature was
highly enjoyed.
A tasty Halloween lunch was serv-
ed on the stage beginning at 10:30 and
continuing as the guests found II
convenient to be served. Lemonads
was served out during the evening by
one Of the attendants Dancing was
continued until midnight when the
$50 guests present took leave OF their
hosts, each and every one OF them
pronouncing the party great success.

BAILER BROKE
AWAY AT TOBIN
UNwATERINc OPERATIONS WERE
SLIGHTLY INTERRUPTED
TRACK cHANcEA AT CARPENTER
Iron Market Keeps Its Activity and
Mills Booked Long Ways Ahead
--0re Rates Advancing

A BaiIer broke away and fell from
the top OF the shaft TO the bottom in
the Tobin mine last Wednesday night.
The accident happened about 300 o.
clock a. m. and delayed operations on
the big hoist until about three o'clock
the Eext afternoon.
The first motion hoist Is pretty
quick on taking away its load from the
surface OF the water and puts a hard
er stress upon the cable than the
slower working drums. consequently
the breaking away OF bailer during
operations is not unexpected but It
was not expected to happen so soon.
The rope broke near the goose neck
Just as the bailer was approaching the
trip and II shot down the shaft like a
bullet. How far II went after II struck
the water is question but II is doubt
ed that the bailer went clear to the
bottom as at the eighth level the road
is narrower and would tend to OBJ
struct its flight
a new bailer was rushed to the
scene from the Tully mine and at three
o'clock the hoist was running again as
usual. Considerable additional pump
ing capacity has been added to that re-
ported in our last mention OF opera
tions at thi sproperty and last Sunday
the water was coming out OF the mine
at the rate OF 5.Oo0.o 900 gallons per day.
This rate cannot be maintained as
depth increases.
New Tracks Needed
AT the Carpenter mine a new system
OF tracks have to be installed by the
railroads due TO the caving OF some or
the ground over which the present
tracks run. The track which serves
the mine is joint one constructed by
the ST. Paul three years ago at con-
siderable expense. II branches of the
Dunn mine branch just below the old
Columbia pit.
Boat Rates Retard Shipments
The shippers of iron ore find II
hard to get tonnage at prices that will
allow them TO ship any ore that
has not been contracted for. The high
boat rates are dus TO the abnormal
movement OF grain that has sent rates
for boats used in that trade above the
average and boosted ore rates with
them

sellers hanging of for an advance OF

TRANCE has always been the true and trustworthy
II friend of the United States.
Within the.year opportunity occurred for
her again to show her firm and faithful friendship to
this country.
France had led all the nations of Europe in the
promptncss and beraity of her offer to participate
in the Panama Pacific international Exposition at San
Francisco
France the one nation which petty envy and
jealousy might have deferred from such participation
if she capable of entertaining such small sent
ments, which happily, she not
France had attempted to build the Panama Canal
and had not succeeded
How high minded how generous how characteris
tcally French was it, therefore, for her to rush for
ward and offer, among the very first, to contribute
notably to the celebration of the successful achieve
ment of this great work.
England, who is benefited most by the building of
the Panama Canal because she has the greatest COM
merce in the world, had not been willing to partic
pate IN the celebration of this American achievement
Germany had declined to participate because of an
understanding and agreement with her good friend
England.
The gcnuincness of Engand's friendship for Ger
many, and the advantage of an agreement with Eng
land against the interest of the United States, has
probably seemed convincing within the last
few months to the shortsighted German statesmen
who were unwilling for Germany to participate in
IHc Iand1nd-TaclnC EXPOSITION because EnSlanQ dlQ
not intend to do so.
So, without war; there would have been no
building represent England at the Panama Pacific
Exposition, no building to represent Germany, not
outstanding the historic friendship of Germany and
the United States.
But there would have been noble building to
represent France, and There is such a building, in
spite of the war.
France friendship for America is not merely fair
weather friendship 1t endures through storm and
stress 1t is exhibited in striking form when
the land of France is being wasted by war, her
sources depleted and her sons killed.
Indeed, the German army had no sooner retreated
from the gates of Paris than France set to work to

American and French people redcdicated themselves
and their countries to the continuance of friendship
which has endured and increased for a century
and which it is to be hoped will endure and
increase.
They redevoted themselves and their countries to
the ideal of liberty, equality and fraternity to the
object of peace and good will among the nations
which the two great republics stand side by side and

LESS MEAT f BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
AXE q glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
if Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts Of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di-
rection of cultured, clean and COM
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as we'll as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives Of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and activity.

SO far recovered as to come home

peared in last weeks Journal. DR.. j.
M Boyles, one of the attending ply
sicians has called our attention to
what he insists is a very glazing er-
ror in the above statement. He says
the wound was not in the sanitarium
at all, but was in the ilio-lumbar re-
gion, about one and one-half inches
to the right of the fourth lumbar YER
zebra. The bullet struck the crest
of the ilium and was DETECTED slight
ly upward passing through the
hepatic flexure barely missing the
transverse colon, ploughed it's way
through the lower end Of the right
lobe of the hepatic gland and lodged
in the abdominal wall about two in
ches to the right of the umbilical
cicatrix No other part of the Wis
cera was injured. We are glad to
make this correction and to assure
our readers that the sanitarium was

ADVICE

Times are great in San Francisco,
And they're fine in old "Spokan."
Rather lively, too, in Boston
Where there's work for every man
Things are better out in Denver.
And they're good in Baltimore,
Miss Chicago's got more money
Than she ever had before.
Dollars rattle in Seattle
AS they did in days gone by
And but few men must go jobless
In the big burg of N. Y.
Things are lively round Atlanta
And in Houston they're not still;
And the hum and whir of business
Echoes over Louisville.
There are jobs in Cincinnati,
Things are bright in New "Orleens'
Every workingman in Fargo
Jingles silver in his jeans.
In Toledo or Milwaukee
Everything is at it's best,
But our busy little city
Puts it over all the rest.

THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to a
city man is an entertainment; to a
farmer it is education. Let us take
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger a moment at few Of the points
of greatest interest We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers
You are now attending a congress OF
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence of all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues Of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can ali help others for
brief period while we live, but 1t
takes a master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light a torch of
progress that will illuminate the path
way of civilization for future genera
tons. The men who gave us the
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time,
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price They have
shown us how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work Of two Or more; have length
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back of humanity.
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in
venti0ns have stood the acid test of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions Of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many ploWs turn the soil in mute
applause of their marvellous achieve
ments.

The home is the greatest cOntribu-

social righteousness is il her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies Of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her

Queenly conquest, and her crown Of
exalted wonanho0d is jeWeled with
the wisdom Of sanity mothers. She
has been a great factor in the glory
Of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities Of
the sordid affairs Of life that will

is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and a guide

mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
