anything. AS a matter of fact, as all
men know who have handled hogs, the
hog is more susceptible to diseases
and more often affected by unsanitary
conditions than any other animal on
the farm. The hog looks as though
he could stand cold weather In great
shape because of the large amount of
fat on him and yet he is more likely
to be hurt by draft or exposure
than a COW or horse.
The improved hoghouse has helped
considerably in eliminating disease

as any other kind Of stock has been

EARLY Coal u.scox crios.

The arst mention Of coal III the ter
ritory which afterward recallie the
United States has heretofore been cred
credited to Father Louis Henhepin.
who showed on a map published In
1853 the location Of a "cole mine" along
Illinois river near the site Of the pres
ent city Of Ottawa. According to s., o.
Andres Of the Illinois state geological
survey. the credit for this first niention
OF coal does INST belong to Hennepin.
as the discovery Of coal in the United
States by Europeans was made by
Joliet and Marquette in 1878. How
ever, nearly century and a half
elapsed after the discovery VI coal in
Illinois before mining began. The
Journal Of the Franklin institute for
1886 states that the first mining 0p-
erations conducted by white men were
at the Mount Carbon mines. III jack
son county. III. These mines were
opened in 1910 and worked to a small
extent for many years. The earliest
recorded production was in 1888. " hen

All a Dream.

There is nh amusing example of orr
entail snbtlety III an anecdote that Mr..
Sidney Whitman tells in Turkish
Memories" The story is Of a young
diplomat who was sent to Constants.
nople TO be trained for his profession
One day the diplomat met Il carriage
guarded by Il eunuch that contained
some ladies' OF the sultan';s harem. The
young man endeavored to peep in at
the window and got blow across the
face from the vigilant eunuch. He
made great uEroar and lodged COM
plant with the sultan himself. lie was
received in private audience, and Alb
dull Hamid listened patiently to his
story Of the outrage.
On its conclusion the sultan replied:
"My dear sir, have gone carefully
into. the case and see exactly how it
stands. You are gentleman; there
fore you could never have committed
such, Il breach Of good manners as is
alleged to have taken place. and conse-
luently no eunuch could possibly have
presumed to strike you. The whole af
fair must be the product of your fancy:
pray let us dismiss it."

The Eternal Conflict.

Society is nothing more than con
tinuation Of the conflict Of nature un-
der the guidance Of intelligence. It ID
vain to hope for any amelioratlon Of
society from the prevalence Of I'm in
tellectual education. Culture Of the in.
tellect supplies new weapons for use
in the conflict and may render it less
rude in appearance, but cannot change
its nature. Doctrines and
creeds are forms; the will supplies
their contents. Just as a vehicle may
convey substances having wholesome
or injurious or Indifferent properties,
so any system OF thinking-theolog
ica]. social or political--may be made
to bear any purport, good or bad. To
try to shape opinions SO that they may

purpose is all labor in vain.-Schopen-

During the early excuses Of the

upon them with two cannon. The Off.

first to persuade them to withdraw.

the guns and said:
Gentlemen will have the kindness
to retire, for I am ordered to shoot
down the rabble."
The street was cleared at once. for
none could brook the idea of being
classed with the scum Of the city.

which will be used in the cutting of
from twenty to twenty-five million feet
of timber. The camps are located "a
miles from the lake and will be reached
by the railroad. over which the logs
will be hauled.
1t will take about four years to cut
the tract of timber, the camps being
located so that they can be used during
the entire cutting. The company has
plenty of men in the woods at present,

fine FEATURES FOR
HOUCHTON FAIR.

Secretary l. N. Haas and his officials
of the Houghton County Agricultural
Society, have engaged through the
Robinson Amusement. Corporation of
Chicago the most brilliant program Of
free amusement features ever secured
for the Copper Country Fair, and.the
1916 exhibition will surely out do all
predecessors.
The program is varied in the extreme
and will make strong appeal to specta-
tors. One of the most striking novelties
will be the first appearance of the Choy
Heng Wa Troupe, three men one woman
and two children, who give perform
ance that is sensational, thrilling and
artistic. They introduce unusual gym
nastics. remarkable feats of equilibrium
and some acrobatic "stunts" that have
never before been attempted While
in unusual positions they do plate
spinning and balancing of objects that
is remarkable, show great deftness in
the spinning of water, introduce battling
feats Of magic and conclude. their
wonderful performance by hanging
suspended by their hair.
The latter-day craze for roller skating
has not been lost sight of and the Willis
Troupe Of two ladies and two gentle
men will give perfect exemplification
of the poetry of motion on the little
flying wheels. In order to insure q
perfectly smooth surface this troupe
carries their own specially prepared
floor, wear variety of attractive
costumes and perform single, double,
trio and quartette figures, including
some of the most difficult ones known
to the roller-skating art and also show
q number of latter day. dance steps on
roller skates. 1t will be remarked as
one of the pretty acts Of the program.
The Stubblefeld Trio Of two ladies
and one gentleman are well known
American novelty aerialists, known as
the fastest working triple trapeze act
known to the profession. during which
they also display wonderful facility for
suspension by the teeth. This troupe
also does a second act, which is an
eccentric comedy number-that of bal
ancing on pyramid of tables.
The most famous of all athletic gTls,
Miss Belle Gordon, is also an important
item on this program. Miss Gordon is
the holder of the Richard K. Fox New
York Police Gazette Diamond Medal
emblematic of the Woman,s Champion
Of the World, having successfully de-
Tended her title against all corners.
Miss Gordon gives a scientific >skillful
exhibition of bag punching, showing
the most difficult and intricate tricks
known to the art. She punches bags
with her hands, elbows, toes and knees
and carries a complete and handsome
bag punching apparatus. All in all 1916

ROAD BUILDING
PLAN DISCUSSED.

That the chance of securing part of
the two million dollar federal road ap-
preparation for the building of a per-
manent highway connecting the iron
and copper countrieS depends largely
on the willingness of Baraga county to
pay part of the cost of the road, was
one of the significant statements made
by F. F. Rogers, state highway COM
missioner, at the meeting of upper
peninsula road officials held at the Mar
quette county court house Wednesday.
At the morning meeting, Mr.. Rogers
explained in detail the recently enacted
federal aid law, which appropriate the
sum of $2,1S6, $3.50 to Michigan for
road building purposes, providing that
an equal sum is furnished by the state.
One of the problems, according to
Mr.. Rogers, is to determine what part
Of the money that must be raised in
Michigan shall be furnished by the
state, and>what part shall be furnished
by the counties and townships directly
benefited.
Some of the richer counties will be
willing to pay half of the amount to be-
spent within their boundaries in ordt II
to secure the other half from the
federal fund. The counties whose val
uations are low, and who are paying
about all they can afford for road build
ing now, will be assessed smaller
proportion.
The iron and copper country menN
were agreed that the trunk line con-
Meeting the two sections should be in
cluded in the building plan. The Bar
aga county. representatives took the
position that survey should be made
| before the county was assessed for any
road building.
The state highway department has.
five men at work surveying route
running from L'Anse to Taylor mine,
thence south to the Sturgeon river and
coming out at Lake Vermilac. No def
mite route has been decided upon yet,
but several surveys will be made and
the route with the least grade will un-
doubtedly be accepted by the state
highway department. The engineers
in the party are E. E. Peterson, WV.
LAYERS, w. P. Thomas and j. H. Nc

Mr.. Rogers stated that BaraRa eoun-
ty should pay at least twenty-five per
cent of the amount expended within
its boundaries.
