GUIDE TO MARINERS
Perry Memorial on Lake Erie
Proves Its Utility.
Doric column 335 Feet High Is Sur
mounted by Powerful Lights, Visi-
BILE at Great Distance-De-
signed as Monument.

Sandusky, O.-The Doric column or
main shaft of the Perry memorial at
Put-in-Bay, recently completed, has
come to be considered an important
landmark by Great Lakes region mar
iners. Visible by day from points afar.
it serves as guide through the
northern course, between the Cana
dian mainland and the shores of the
islands comprising the Lake Erie
archipelago, and the treacherous
south passage, between the islands
on the south and the Ohio shores. By
night its powerful lights can be seen
from almost any point in Lake Erie
between Cleveland on the east and
Toledo and Detroit on the west
In the United States lake surveys
current bulletin the shaft is described
as located at about the middle of
the low, narrow neck of land forming
the southernmost shore of Put-in-Bay
island, in approximately latitude IL
degrees, 80 minutes and Ia seconds
north; longitude 50 degrees, As min
utes and Al seconds west. ]"
The government uicsallg describes
the shaft as "a Doriv column 81 white
granite, surmcuntosN hvonxe
tripod and bowl containing electric
lamps which cast al Indirect illu-
mination through a plate glass COW
ering," and mentions that the column
is 45 feet in diameter at the base and
335 feet in height, measured from the
terrace at it's base to the top of the
tripod, and forms a conspicuous land
mark from the lake.
The cornerstone of the shaft was
laid September 10, 1913, the one hun
dredth anniversary of the battle of
Lake Erie, in the presence of repre-
sentatives of the national government
and the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, New
York, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Mime
sofa and Louisiana.
The memorial as whole was de-
signed as a monument to Commodore
Oliver Hazard Perry and his men,
victors in the battle fought on Putin
Bay that permanently fixed the pres
ent boundary line between the United
States and Canada in the Great Lakes
section and on east to the Atlantic.
For one hundred years the gallant
Perry and his men had been all but
forgotten, the only tribute to their
memory being little pyramid OF
rusty cannon balls in one of the pub
lie parks at Put-in-Bay.
It was after the memorial had been
designed that the possibilities that
strong rays of light shed from the top
of the Doric column or main shaft
might be the means Of saving lives or
serve to protect against an enemy
became apparent and steps were taken
to establish the landmark that the
federal government has pust rec
ognized.
The Doric column is little more than
a central point around which much
costly structural work remains to be
done. A museum is to be erected at
the right of thu plaza, in the center OF
which it rests. A statue fanked by
colonnade IMPLYING Peace and Arbi-
tration, will be erected on the left.
The work is of such nature that it
must necessarily proceed slowly.
There is every promise. however, that
at the end of another year the plans
will have been brought to full fruition.

The tragedy so often associated
with a life i'll spent was pathetic
ally Expressed in the dying state

to forsake his wife and family
and TO ramble over q great part
of the earth in q vain attempt ID
recoup his fortune. Returning
to Chicago hopelessly i'll and
without money, he died in the

whispered to the nurse: Tell my

WHY + AM PROUD OF MIN.
NESOTA.P .POULTRYs

Minnesota should petition TN
Gle Sam to put the hen on the
nickle in place Of the buffalo and
the Indian head.
In 1900 it was reported by the
Minnesota Agricultural College
that the value Of poultry and
poultry products in Minnesota
was 81. 900 900. We all gasped.
A year ago, as d result Of d
joint investigation by the State
Agricultural College and the st.
Paul Union Stockyards Co., II
was found that the stupendous
sum Of $34,0OO,00 had been
reached. 1t is still growing.
Nor must it be forgotten, says
H. A. Nourse, poultry Judge at
the Minnesota State Fair, Sept.
g to IL, that this $34, 600, 900 only
included the market value of
poultry and poultry products for
food purposes. Hundreds OF
thousands of dollars should have
been added to cover the actual
selling value of eggs for hatch
ing and fowls for breeding and
exhibition. Lots of Minnesota
eggs for Matching have sold for
$40 or more a setting this year,
and many fancy, fowls have
brought from SO or 500 8 bird.
The growth of the industry
proves its profitableness. Eggs
pay more than the grocery bill
on many farms In Minnesota,
while city focks add to thousands
of wage incomes. Still the United
States does not supply all its
home demand for eggs. Eggs
are imported from China, Japan,
New Zealand, Australia, Canada,
and Mexico.
An egg day" is the slogan
of N. E. Chapman, veteran poul-
try specialist at the State Agri-
cultural College, wherever he
goes about the state. When it il
considered that the average farm
hen lays only about sixty
eggs a year, and that she could
easily double that figure, there
is reason for the belief that we
may reach the $50, ,0OO, 900 mark
soon.
When we do we will ask the
State Legislature to set aside a
Hen Day." just as we do Arbor
Day or the Fourth Of July, 50
that we may give the good old
Minnesota hen her due.
