A Popular Resort

"The weather has been so warm this
summer that people do not realize that
the river and lake excursion season is
quickly drawing to close" said u. =.
Dustin, general passenger agent of the
Ashley * Dustin line, whose steamers,
Put. ID-Bay and Frank T. Kirby make
daily trips from Detroit to Putin Bay
and Sandusky.
LESS than a month remains for peO-
pie to take the cruise from Detroit to
the Lake Erie resorts or from Sandusky
to Detroit. Many inquiries are being
made as to when the season closes, and
we have informed all that the Putin
Bay will make its final trip on Sunday,
September 8.
Mr.. Dustin says that Cedar Point,
to which the steamer Putin. Bay goes
on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays, is more popular this year than
ever before. The number of people
who have taken the trip to Cedar Point
Is greatly in excess Of that Of year
ago
The wonderful bathing beach at
Cedar Point, which is called THE At
lantic City of the West" has drawn
thousands to the Lake Erie resort this
summer according to Mr.. Dustin.
"Put-In-Bay remains as popular as
ever, and provision has been made to
entertain the excursionists In every
possible manner" said Mr.. Dustin.
"Bathing. boating, and dancing are en-
joyed by thousands. Then, too, there
is always an opportunity TO visit the
wonderful caves as we'll ss 60 to the
top of the million dollar Perry monu'
ment."
Mr.. Dustin says that the 1915 season,
up to the present time, has been one OF
the most successful in the history of the
Ashley & Dustin line. While the mum.
Der Of passengers carried on holidays,
Saturdays and Sundays has been un-
usually large, there is always plenty Of
room on the Put In.Bay the other days
Of the week, according to Mr.. Dustin.

CHAUTAUQUA
STARTS FRIDAY
Secure Season Tickets Before the
Opening Entertainment.

Many people when approached to
buy Chautauqua tickets reply with the
statement that they are going to buy
single admission tickets, and do not
realize that If they do and attend an
average number of these entertain
ments it will cost them more than sea-
son tickets would If purchased in ad-
vance and the money has all gone to
the company and the local guarantors
have received no credit for the money
spent.
Buy a season ticket and il is good
for all the members of your family.
and the credit for the sale goes to help
make up the amount guaranteed by the
local people who stand behind the ef-
fort to get good entertainment in
Yale and who stand to lose IL 400
tickets are not sold before the opening
of the first entertainment tomorrow.
There is no money to be made by the
guarantOrs, but il the people do not
come up and purchase the tickets they
stand to lose pro rata share OF the
deficit
The Redpath Chautauqua last sea-
son was above expectations and we
have the assurance of the company
that the one this year is fully as good
II not better than the one last year.
Last year there was a small deficit
but the guarantors cheerfully put their
names to another guarantee trusting
that the people appreciated it enough
30 that they would support another.
Should there be more than the 400
tickets sold the money left after the
expenses are paid will be held as a fund
to help finance another Chautauqua.
Ii we are to have q success this year
and another next year it is up to all to
buy season tickets.

Work of County Agriculturist

Since the last report was written the
completion OF the field certified oat in
spection, work with the Y. NJ. 4 A.
boys, farmers club meeting and pic
mic, and matters regarding hay market
ing have claimed attention.
Friday and Saturday mornings, talks
on agricultural subjects were given at
the Y. M. &. A. at Lakeport. The first
day soil principles and testing were
demonstrated. Simple experiments
were set up showing the rise of water
in the soil by capillarity and the effect
of tile draining. The testing of soil for
lime was also illustrated and explain
ed. On Saturday, the food require
ments of our plants and animals were
discussed. 1t was shown tc the boys
by means of charts how the plants
take simple substances or elements
from the soil and build them up into
complex compounds suitable for per-
SONS or animals, and an effort was made
to make plain the great plan which
controls these processes. Mr.. +. g..
Lindeman, State Leader in Boys and
Girls Club work, was also secured to
assist with the program and was at the
camp from Saturday noon until Mon
day evening explaining vocational work
and nature study for young people dur
ing morning lecture hours. Arrange
ments were also made with Mr.. Lin
deman while here for the starting
of some COW testing clubs with the boys
on the farms In different parts OF the
county. This will be explained more
fully in later report.
The joint meeting and picnic held by
the Union and Burnside Farmers
Clubs at Lake pleasant in Lapeer
county was attended on Thursday.
Various problems we're discussed, but
special emphasis was. laid on market
ing, and an important outcome OF the
day was the arrangements that were
made for the formation Of hay grow
ers' association. Committee in differ
ent localities were appointed to arouse
interest and advertise the meeting
which will be held at Capac, Tuesday,
September 9th. Mr.. II. IL. Ellsworth
of the State Markets Department,
man of several years Of experience in
the management of cooperative selling
associations, will be present and assist
the men to organize. DR.. Eben Num-
ford, State Leader of County agents
and one Of the best authorities in the
country on organization and market
ing, has also promised to attend, and
there is every indication that the event
will be one of the most important
farmers meetings ever held in the
county. Everyone who has hay to
market is urged to be present.
County Agents are allowed leave
Of fifteen days each year, and portion
of this will betaken from August IL
to 20 inclusive and the Office will be
closed during that time.

Sleeper For Governor And A -
United Republican Party In Mich

According to reports received during
the past week from every section OF the
state by Albert K. Sleeper Of Bad Axe,
leading candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor, this slogan
has been adopted by the candidates for
county ONCE and the Republican work.
ers who are confident that Charles K,
Hughes and Albert K. Sleeper will head
q united party to a magnificent victory
at the November election.
Entrenohed to some extent by feder.
al patronage and state jobs obtained
during the Wilson and Ferris admins
trations, Democrats in some sections OF
the state are planning desperate as
saults on the Republicans lines next
November.
In Charles 4. Hughes the Republican
party has candidate who will sweep
Michigan by tremendous majority.
To successfully repulse the Democrats
all along the line 1t Is necessary that
the Republican candidate for governor
be q leader capable Of welding all fac
tions together.
From all indications the county can
didates-the boys in the trenches--feel
that Ii is necessary to nominate man
to head the state ticket who will make
their campaigns easier in the fall.
While many of the candidates for
county Office have primary contests of
their own and are unable to participate
actively In the gubernatorial campaign,
many are quietly passing the word to
their friends that Sleeper's nomination
will cinch their election In November
During the Republican state conven-
tion last spring many leaders declared
that the sentiment among the dele
gates was practically unanimous for
Sleeper. "l venture the prediction"
declared a man who has watched con-
ventions for many years, "that IL vote
could be taken In this convention today
eighty per cent of the delegates would
favor Sleeper"

BY Theda Bara

The glory of being self-made
goes to ones head like wine.
From the pinnacle of success

upward paths that were the
scenes of their early struggles
toward the light, and invest them
with extra obstacles and pitfalls
SO their ultimate victory may
take on an added glamor.

poverty and unsurmountable diff
ficulties that melted magically be-
fore my determined onslaughts.
But truth forbids.
My early life was not sensa-
tional, except as | made it SO by
my little temperamental out
bursts that distressed my peace
loving mother.
Our home life was always
beautiful, because of her perfect
governorship.
Sorrows were always lightened
by the sympathy that has been her
hiool NohuSllui trait.
And it is because of this nor
NAL training that my success is a
structure that will not be de-
stroyed.
Spasmodic, hysterical leaps in
to fame, fostered by an artificial
personal life, are shortlived.
