LAKEBIRONNOTES


pie at the Love cottage or Lake Biron
last week and when the cool night
struck Saturday night they sang a
serenade to the moon.
Good Bye Summer" but like all
songs it was brief and this week at
Lake Biron has been a joy.
The water course in the three chan
nels in Lake Biron are now as well
and carefully marked as it is possible
to do. We have used white buoys in
pairs to mark the channel and it will
be safer to stay within the white
buoys for your course. If any one
finds distractions in any of these de-
fined courses we will be glad to hear
of it.
Red buoys have been placed for
rocks and dead heads so far as they
came within or near these courses but
don't take it for granted that we have
marked all the other dead heads that
would be an all summer job.
From the McCamley cottage down
no course is marked as it is not nee
essary.
With the lock at Biron which Mr.
Mead promises and these courses we'll
outlined it will make boating from
here nearly to Stevens Point one long
day of pleasure.
Big Island is more welcome these
hot days than ever and never before
have so many Grand Rapids people
visited the lake as in the last month.
People who lived here a generation
were never on the lake until within
the past month.
Next year will see great changes
there as we all have begun to wake
up to the benefits and good things
close at hand as are found there. Cool
nights, beautiful days and a vacation
spot ten minutes from town.
By the way did you try mixing a
small can of condensed milk with your
sweet cream to keep it sweet for about
three days. If you haven't, try it, it
will save you worry and money.
The tennis court at Lake Biron club
will be completed this week and next
week ready for use.
The lawyers visit us Saturday for
a short rest
The Hotel Mems convention on the
10Th and Both of this month will be
an event and the one feature of the
picnic at Lake Biron on the Both will
be a dance on the tennis court.
The next move will be a bridge from
the east shore to Big Island and then
Sunday band concerts of sacred music
like we hear at the southern resorts
in winter and elsewhere will be the
drawing card. Get your lease this
fall for your summer home and clear
it up during the following winter and
spring. Many leases are spoken for
all ready.
Here is a clipping from Patton's
Monthly that every owner of a gaso
line engine whether on land or sea
can fully appreciate.
What Makes a Gasoline Engine Stop
Sparkville, June 9, 1916.
Getns: The gas engine you sent me
stops when there is nothing the mat
ter with it, that's the trouble. 1t would
Mt bee so bad if it stopped for some
reason and any body there's reason
enough for it to stop. and why cant
it pick out one of them reasons for
stopping instead of stopping for no
reason at all so that no one cant find
the reason because you cant find the
reason can you when there amt no
reason that common sence amt it.
l received the book you sent me
which is named 'What Makes the
Gasoline Engine Co." I amt read it
yet because what's the use reading it
when | don't care what makes the
gasoline engine go as long as it goes
which mine don't only occasionally
when not particularly needed but
when just experimenting or some
thing.
What I want to know is What
I Makes the Gasoline Engine Stop. If
you got book called that send me
one and that's what I want to know
particularly what makes my gasoline
engine when everything is o. k. and
nothing is the matter except that it
must be rotten engine.
