No Longer Member of State
Board of Agriculture
Action Comes as Result OF
Bill Passed by the Legis-
lature.

The following article taken
from the Ashland Press of We'd
nesday regarding the resignation
of H. H. Peavey of this city as a
member of the State Board of
Agriculture explains Mr.. Peavey's
reason for resignation.
Milwaukee, Wis, July 21st.-
my first consideration was the
interest of the state fair" said
H. H. Peavey, Washburn,i wis, in
a statement concerning his resig-
nation Saturday night at a meet
ing held in the Republican house
as member of the state board
Of agriculture and superintend-
ent of county exhibits for the
coming fair. II feel that my
action should have been the ac-
tion of every member of the
board who has the interest of
the fair at heart.
"The bill now awaiting the
governors signature creates a
new board at a time when the
work of the fair ought to be well
under way. Time is of vital i'm
portance now. If the old board
continues, as it plans to do, for
some time, only to be replaced
later in the season by Gov.
Phillips new. board, there is sure
to be delay and friction which
will be detrimental to the success
of the fair. My idea as stated
before the board, and expressed
in my action, was to shorten the
time of delay as much as possible
by paving the way for the crea-
ton of a new board at once, Sc
that it may carry forward an
effective and unified program.
Gov. Phillipp's assurances
that he would like to have the
present board continue in charge
| of the fair, could hardly be given
the consideration they are en-
titled to as coming from the
executive office, because he has
given us such assurances before.
only to fail us, | refer to state.
ments given me by the Governor
and used by me, that he wanted
this board to continue with the
work, provided it were elected or
| a basis suitable to him. If Mr.
Phillip was really sincere, why
did not one of the administration
measures provide that the pre-
senr board should put on the
1915 fair?
1.-TWO weeks ago in Madison,
had a conference with the secre
tary of the board, in which
lstated plainly that l would no

Following that, contrary to m.
wishes, he placed my cut will

still constituted authority, an

He merged the interests Of urban
and interurban lines and built up the
Michigan United Traction company,
with $50 miles of track, then sold It
to an eastern corporation. incidentally
making millions for himself. Several
years ago he organized q 100000 900

BY JACK LONDON.
From Saturday,

In the bow was Kerfoot, Oofty.
Oofty In the stern, and Kelly
.amidships. AS we drifted closer,
the boat would rise on wave
while we sank in the trough. till
almost straight above me l could
see the heads of the three men
craned oversize and looking
down. Then, the next moment,
We would lift and soar upward
while they sank far down be-
meath us. 1t seemed incredible
that the next surge should not
crush the Ghost down upon the
tiny eggshell.
But, at the right moment, ]
passed the tackle to the Kanaka,
while Wolf Larsen did the same
thing forward to Kerfoot. Both
tackles were hooked in trice,
and the three men, deftly timing
the roll, made a simultaneous
leap aboard the schooner. AS the
Ghost rolled her side out of the
water, the boat was lifted snugly
against her, and before the return
roll came, we had heaved 1t in
over the side and turned it bot
tom up on the deck. | noticed
blood spouting from Kerfoot's left
hand. In some way the third fin
ger had been crushed to pulp.
But he gave no sign of pain, and
with his single right hand helped
us lash the boat in its place.
Stand by to let that jib over,
you Oofty!" Wolf Larsen COM
manded, the very second we had
finished with the boat. Kelly,
come aft and Stacked off the MAIN
sheet! You, Kerfoot, go for'ard
and see what's become of Cooky!
Mr.. Van Weyden, run aloft again,
and cut away any stray stuff on
your way!"
And having commanded, he
went aft with his peculiar tiger
ish leaps, to the wheel. While ]
toiled up the foreshrouds the
Ghost slowly paid off. This time,
as we went into the trough of the
sea and were swept, there were
no sails to carry away. And, half
way to the crosstrees and flat
tened against the rigging by the
full force of the wind so that 1t
would have been impossible for
me to have fallen, the Ghost al
most on her beam ends and the
masts parallel with the water, !
looked, not down, but at almost
right angles from the perpendicu-
lar, to the deck of the Ghost. But
] saw, not the deck, but where
the deck should have been, for It
