F. w. MAYNE
CANDIDATE FOR
SUPREME JUDGE.

The below endorsement of Circuit
Judge F. w. Mayne for the supreme
court bench appeared in Mondays s
issue of the Traverse City Record
Eagle.
Northern Michigan will have a can
didate for supreme Judge at the Re-
publican primaries this year in the per-
son OF Judge Fredrick w. Mayne of
Charlevoix, who has for the past fifteen
years sat on the bench on the thirteen
tn judicial circuit. Judge Mayne is
peculiarly fitted for the Michigan su-
preme bench as he has made an envi-
able record as circuit Judge, for few
OF his decisions have ever been rever-
sed by the higher court. His public
career has been long and honorable
one during which time he has been
prosecuting attorney of Charlevoix
county two terms, Judge of probate
one term and he is now serving his
third term as circuit Judge. He has
been a resident of this region since
1878 which fact entities him to be class
ed as one OF the pioneers of Grand
Traverse. II is significant fact that
he is the only candidate for the su-
preme bench north Of Grand Rapids
and this fact, coupled with his fitness
for the position should insure him the
solid support of all the counties in the
northern part of the state. 1t is also
fact that all the federal judges also
come from the territory south of GEN.
trail Michigan. Northern Michigan is
too large and important to be ignored
in choosing judges for the highest court
in the state and the opportunity is now
at hand for emphasizing this fact
throughout the state and securing the
support of the entire state for a candi-
date from this part of Michigan. Judge
Mayne is well and favorably known
throughout the state, as his duties as
circuit Judge have carried him as far
south as Detroit, where he has presid-
ed over many important cases. AL
ready he has been given unanimous
endorsement for the supreme bench by
the bar associations in all the counties
in the thirteenth judicial circuit which
emphasizes the standing that he has
among the members Of the legal pro-
fession. Judge Mayne has a splendid
chance to win the nomination and it is
up to the voters in the state to see to
it that Northern Michigan is given due
consideration and through him repre-
sentation upon the supreme bench of
the state of Michigan"

package of nails. Charge 'em" he
told the clerk as he went out the door.

HERBERT L. OLNEY
PASSES AWAY
Appendicitis Claims Well Known
Farmer of This Region

Herbert L. Olney died at the Lock
wood hospital, Petoskey, Monday night
following an operation for appendicitis.
He was taken i'll last week and re-
moved to Petoskey for an operation.
This was successfully performed and
he was apparently out of danger.
About ten o'clock Monday night he was
taken with an internal hemmorhage
and passed away in few minutes.
The remains were brought to his late
home, Tuesday, and funeral services
were held from the South Arm Grange
hall Thursday morning, conducted by
Rev. John Hackett. Interment at the
Jones cemetery.
Herbert l.. Olney was one of our
foremost progressive farmers and bust
ness men. Through hard and faithful
work he developed his farm in South
Arm township until it was one of the
best in this region. He was always in
terested in matters pertaining to agri-
culture, was an enthusiastic grange
worker and was president Of the Char
levoix County Agricultural Society.
Deceased is survived by widow and
pne son. A host of citizens sincerely
mourn the loss of good neighbor and
staunch friend.

And Along Came Ruth

"Mother, I've found out a new and
simple way to clean silver" exclaimed
Ruth one afternoon, as she took off her
hat" Alice Lemon was cleaning hers
when was over there, and it can be
done while you are at work at some
thing else"
"Well, tell me about it," demanded
her mother"
"In the first place, you must save the
old zinc from washboard," continued
Ruth. "Then place the zinc in large
granite pan, with two tablespoonsful of
salt and one of soda. Add water, and
put the silver in the bath. Let it stay
for while and when it comes out it
will have cleaned itself beautifully"
"Alice also says that if you will put
a small piece of zinc in the fire, it will
clean out the chimney"
"Well, tomorrow we will put Alice's
theory to the test" declared Ruth's
mother.

EBERT BEDE SAYS

We can all get jobs working for the
upbuilding of the community-and the
pay is both large and certain.
A woman who pays $500 for dress
has had something hung on to her-and
not very much either, perhaps.
Folks persist in saying that matches
are made in heaven. Maple they're
used to start the fires in hell
Wouldn't there be terrible turmoil
in this old world if we executed half
the dire thing we work out in our
minds.
It's a mighty good-for-nothing woman
who can't support one man and an en-
tirely good-for-nothIng woman who
tries il.
While some of us are casting around
for opportunity, others would consider
it the greatest opportunity of life
time to be in a position we are so anx-
ious to cast aside.
The person who doesn't want the
things he can't get it quite likely to be
fairly contented, but if we all stopped
with the things that are easily attained
what slow old world this would be.
We always imagine that tomorrow
we will have so much more time to do
things than We have today and when
tomorrow comes we wish we had done
them in the time we wasted yesterday
II we could be contented with mind
ing our own business we wouldn't
learn lot of things that make us un-
happy and would save others from tell
ing lot of things which make them
unhappy to tell.
When one man says another is a
crook and the second one retaliates by
saying the first is crook we stop and
wonder how much of the truth each is
telling. To speak i'll of another quite
often reacts on the speaker.
When person makes great show
of honesty when only a few cents is
concerned we wonder what chance
there would be if a large sum were
concerned. Also we have seen people
who thought it is no crime to keep a
few cents that did not belong to them
who would be absolutely honest if a
large sum were concerned.

How Artistic Skill
Helps War Plans

One OF the ingenious ideas Of modern
war strategy is to utilize artist skill in
making a drawing of fortification
,kithout betraying its purport on the
Surface. The spy makes a drawing
which appears to be an ordinary land
scape. If caught with it he might pose
with comparative safety as an artist
who had been sketching for pleasure
and was entirely ignorant of the exis-
tence of any fort and its surroundings.
Interpreted according to a secret
code, however, the picture reveals to
the spy's government fairly complete
plan Of fort. This is indicated by the
character and position of details.
! One kind of tree represents an ar
iilored gun-turret.
- A bush is an observation turret.
Other forms of trees are gun positions,
a couple of gates are entrances to the
fort, piece of fencing is barbed-wire
nglement, lines Of bushes are dit
ches and so on.

USING SOUR MILK

Very often sour milk is thrown away
because the ignorant cook does not
know how to make use of it. Sour
milk may not only be used for biscuit,
but for waffles, gingerbread, cake of
various kinds and even salad dressing
and ice cream, provided that it is pro-
perly sweetened with soda. Thick
sour milk requirest the proportion of
an even teaspoonful of soda to each
pint of the milk. Thin milk, of which
there is less curd than whey requires
more soda. The soda should always be
we'll dissolved in the milk or sifted in
to the flour il it is not to collect in

What Is a Snail's Pace?

AT snail's pace" is common ex-
preston, and usually signifies a very
slow speed. But what do you suppose
is the actual pace made by snail in
travelling?
We can give it in accurate figures.
One foot in four minutes, or at the rate
of one mile in 16 days, if travelling con-
tinuously.
These are figures given by George
Zahnizer, a civil engineer, taken from
actual observation.
A short time since Mr.. Zahnizer was
waiting for train at country station.
He had nothing in particular to do, and
"kiled little time" by timing snail
which was creeping along the ground.
That snail travelled just exactly one
foot in four minutes. MIR. Zahnizer has
figured out that it would require 16
days for that snail to move a mile.
