SEEK TO CONTROL MALARIA
Experiments Being Conducted BY IN

Rockefeller Foundation.

New York.-Experiments to deter
mine to what extent malaria may be
controlled in temperate climates un.
der conditions now existing in the
farming sections Of the southern
states are being conducted in Mis-
sissippi and Arkansas by the interna'
tional health beard of the Rockefeller
Foundation.
determination Of mosquitoes by the
drainage system is not part of the
plan, 1t was said.
"The first of these experiments, to
test the practicability of malaria con
troll by detecting the carriers and free.
ing them Of parasites, is being carried
on in Bolivar, Miss. under the direc.
ton of the Mississippi department OF
health" the announcement said. "The
field force and microscopists have
been receiving their technical train.
ing in the laboratories of Tulase Uni
versity Medical School.
ITO test the practicability OF ma;
laria control by a combination Of re-
lief measures, another set Of expert
ments is being conducted in Arkansas
in cooperation with the United States
public health service. In neither case
will the experiments include the ex-
termination of mosquitoes by major
drainage operations.
Although the control Of malaria is
relatively simple in theory, as a prac-
teal undertaking 1t has been found
extremely difficult. The present ex-
periments will determine the future
development of the boards work IN
this field"

Following the very successful Ham.

town in 1913, the Morristown board of
trade received large number of re-
quests for information and suggestions
for conducting similar campaigns in
other sections of the United States.
The number of inquiries increased so
in volume during 1914 that it became
necessary to issue a general circular
covering the subject and several hun,
dred copies Of this were mailed to va
rious organizations throughout the
United States.
When the East Tennessee CONNER.
cial organizations perfected their d.
visional association last fall, and were
considering the question of what work
should be undertaken for the immedi
ate future, the representative of the
local board of trade proposed home
coming for all the counties of East
Tennessee. The suggestion was very
promptly adopted and committees
we're placed in charge of the various
departments OF the campaign.

Republican
Banquet
To Be Held Here Week OF
August 9TH.

A number of the members of the
Charlevoix County Republican Club
met at Atty d. II. Fitch's office
in this city, Tuesday night and made
preliminary arrangements for the
annual banquet. 1t was decided to
hold the affair at East Jordan during
the week of August 9TH, the exact date
to be left to the executive committee
Officers of the Club are:
President-Att'y A. G. Urquhart of
Boyne City.
Secretary-Att'y d. H. Fitch of East
Jordan.
Treasurer-Att'y R. L. Lewis of
Charlevoix.
Upon motion the president appointed
j. M. Harris of Boyne City, r. A.
Emrey of Charlevoix and Atty M. E.
Silverstein of Boyne City a committee
to secure speakers for the occasion.
1t was also decided that the officers
of the Club should constitute an invita-
tion and publicity committee.
The other arrangements, which will
mean lot of work, was left entirely to
the Republicans of East Jordan. This
is presidential year and keen interest
is manifest in politics everywhere. II
is estimated that East Jordan will have
the pleasure of entertaining between
three and four hundred on the night of
the event, and the big question just
now is to secure place that will be
commodious enough.
Among those from out of town who
were here Tuesday night were the fol-
lowing:-A. G. Urquhart, j. M. Harris,
f. A. Ruegsegger, M. E. Silverstein,
F. d. Thompson and Ed. Lorch of
Boyne City; r. l.. Lewis, Chas. Novak,
Richard Lewis, George Weaver, and
Messrs Felts and Nevis, of Charlevoix;
H. L. Barnum and Samuel Alexander,
of Ironton; and F. A. Kenyon from
Mackinac Island.

have the most profound effect upon
the business life Of our community
upon our banks, our merchants, our
working men and upon every owner
of real estate whether office, store
buildings or the homes of the working
men.
If fire should sweep thru our towns
wiping out fifty per cent of the build
ings it would be disaster which would
attract wide notice. just as real loss
and destruction of property values may
be seen today at East Lake near Manis-
tee and at Elk Rapids and where loss
on the mills and plants instead of be-
ing fifty per cent was ninety or ninety
five per cent. Depreciation of values
begins before the closing of the plants,
as the end is foreseen, but the loss is
no less real because gradual.
The gift of prophecy is not required
to answer the question what will follow
the going out of our lumber industries.
The answer is seen in the experience
of other communities like ours. Now
the question is what can be done to
prevent this slump in values. Look at
other lumber towns-Muskegon for
many years after the mills stopped was
a dead town with empty houses and no
business. | remember one man who
works for us owned considerable land
on Muskegon Heights which was then
almost worthless, could hardly be given
away. Gradually, however, some in
dustries started there beginning in a
small way. These have grown large
and others have been added until Mus
kegon has grown to be large and more
prosperous than in the best days of
the White Pine lumber business.
Muskegon had no special advantages
to offer any of these enterprises, but
by hard work and good management,
they were secured and they are per-
manent. If these efforts had been
made years sooner Muskegon would
probably have escaped the long period
of depression and loss which followed
the decay of the lumber industry.

number of wealthy and public spirited

What will be the condition OF our
towns and communities where lumber
ing is the chief or prominent industry
when the timber shall be cut out and
the saw mills disappear? This question
did not occur TO us twenty or twenty
five or even fifteen years ago when
large bodies of timber were tributary
to the mills and this time seemed so
distant, but now the end of the timber
is within the next five or ten years at
the farthest. When the saw mills shut
down, other industries which depend
upon the mills and the timber for their
fuel will close their doors.
The business of our towns has gone
along in one groove for the past thirty
five years and it is hard to realize that
a violent change will come about very
soon which may, and probably will,

tions. Miss Oracle Wiley was brides

served in the dining room which was
decorated with pink and white. Oceans
of flowers were to be seen throughout
the house. The couple left for a
wedding tour then will return to their
home in East Jordan, where Mr.. Ward
is employed on the d. & C. r. r. The
bride is one Of Isabella county's highly
respected young ladies. Her entire
time has been spent in school work.
The bride received many beautiful and
useful gifts. Those from out of town
were Mr.. and Mrs. George Taylor and
