Two Brothers Plant
Again In Operation

The compressor of the Two
Brothers power plant, which went
out of commission two weeks ago
on account of a breakage, has been
repaired and is now furnishing air
for both the Specie Payment and
Bald Eagle mines as usual.
Tom johnson has the lease on
the Specie Payment and is putting
out good tonnage every month,
most of which is at present being
treated at the Argo mill. Several
sets of sub leasers are also taking
out good ore.
R. G. Biggar is working the
Bald Eagle under lease and is
making good. In the past few
years several different parties have
tried this mine, but for some cause
failed to make a success. About
three months ago Mr.. Biggar, who
was for years one of the most sue
cessful miners in this community
but of late years has been living
on his ranch near Littleton, Sc
cured ii lease on the property and
his first shipment of ore gave
return of S53 per ton. When
asked how he made a success where
others had failed he replied: "The
sorting hammer is one of the prin-
cipal tools that | use in mining
and l never believe in shipping
worthless rock to the mill If
some of our other mine operators
would do likewise there would be
less "kicking" about low grade ore
in this camp.

HERE ARE THE AMENDMENTS

Two amendments instead Of one
must be voted on Nov. Z in Michigan.
The first amendment to the state Con-
stitution was proposed by the Mich
:gan Dry Campaign Committee and
provides for statewide prohibition of
the liquor traffic. On this every dry
voter should vote YES. The amend
ment follows:
amend article sixteen of the consti-
tuition by adding new section thereto
to stand as section eleven.
ARTICLE XVI, Section II. The
manufacture, sale, keeping for sale,
giving away, bartering or furnishing
of any vinous, malt, brewed, ferment-
ed, spirituous or Intoxicating liquors,
except for medicinal, mechanical, chem
ical, scientific or sacramental purposes
shall be after April 30, 1918, prohibited
In the state forever. The Legislature
shall by law provide regulations for
the sale Of such liquors for medicinal,
mechanical chemical. scientific and
sacramento purposes"
The second amendment is proposed
by the Michigan Home Rule league
under the deceptive title of Home
Rule" This amendment is absolutely
and entirely in the interests Of the
saloons. 1t is in no sense a dry
measure.

The Use Of Alcohol for the Purpose
of Warmth Is Very Dam
gerous.

Is Germany still boosting for beer?
Is it true as stated in the beer adver-
tisement in several Wisconsin papers:
"The health and efficiency department
Of the German army requires that
every soldier in the German army
drink stipulated amount of beer
every day."
The sanitary department Of the
German army has used the following
instructions concerning health SER
vice.:
alcohol is indeed a stimulant at
the first; but, If it is used in larger
quantities, it produces narcotic eff
feet. Experience teaches that abstain
ing soldiers endure the hardships Of
war best. Also the beverage use of al
cohol leads easily to intemperance
and the slackening of discipline.
Therefore, alcoholic liquors are to be
used only with the greatest caution
and are to be avoided entirely on the
march. The use of alcohol for the
purpose of producing warmth is
dangerous. It's warning effects are
deceptive"
Commenting on this ordinance, San
itary Counsel, Prof. DR.. l. Schwalbe,
in the German Medical Weekly.
says:
"In spite of the fact that it must
be conceded that the effects of alco-
hol are different on different indi-
viduals and that alcohol is not a poi
son for every man in the same guam
tity; indeed, in spite of the fact that a
great many persons are able to drink
without injury, our military authori
ties were induced to OMIT ALCOHOL
ENTIRELY FROM THE REGULAR
RATIONS OF THE ARMY BOTH IN
PEACE AND IN WAR"
Lest some one may say alcohol
does not include beer, the following
significant passage is quoted from
Count Won Haeseler, late Commander
Of the 18th Army Corps in Germany:
"The soldier who abstains altogeth-
er Is the best man. He can accom-
plish more, can march better, and is
better soldier than the man who
drinks even moderately. Mentally
and physically he is better. Brandy
is the worst poison of all. Next to
1t comes beer. Each limits the ca
pacity and lowers mind, body, and
soul. Strong drink tires and only in
creases thirst For soldiers water.

drinks"

The "OPTlON" SUBTERFUGE
The Fight Must Be To A Finish in
The Good State of Michigan.

The wet and dry petitions are on
file at Lansing now, which means
that the biggest liquor fight in the
states history is on. 1t will be fight
to the finish, for the issue is no lon
ger question Of whether the state
shall be all dry or partly drip, but Of
whether it shall be all dry or virtually
all wet, says an editorial in the
Adrian Daily Telegram.
The wet plan masquerades under
the name Of "option" plan, but 1t
would reduce the option unit from the
county to the township, village or
city.s BY this means its sponsor
hope to pull the wool over the eyes
OF at least some voters by invoking
the imaginary blessings of home
rule"
The intent, however, is as plain as
the face of the town clock. 1t is to
put a saloon within reach of every
thirsty individual in Michigan. II
that were not the plan, the liquor in
terests would not be fighting for it.

self would leave matters as they are
now. But they cannot afford to lose
the fight on the township and village
option scheme. If the vets can put
that across, then everything accom-
plished for temperance in lifetime
will be undone. 1t is a clever game
the vets are playing. 1t may be
hard game to beat, but IL it is not
beaten, then local option prohibition
becomes a farce and the liquor in
terests will be more firmly In the
saddle than they have been for twenty
years.

FEDERAL INQUIRY

New York. Sept. 1S.-An appeal to
the federal trade commission at Wash

bread prices was made last night by
Commissioner Hartigan, OF the mayors
bureau OF weights and The
commissioner in a letter said it was
generally understood that wheat price
fiNers' in Chicago were mainly respon-
sible for the situation.
1T is generally accepted as being
true by those in the bread making
trade that prevailing high prices Of
wheat are the result of manipulation
and Juggling of the prices" Commits
sioner Hartigan wrote. 1T is respect
fully submitted that the public is en-
titled to know whether the prevailing
high prices on flour are based upon
FORMAL and staple conditions or are the
result of artificial price raising through
manipulation Of the Chicago board Of
trade. 1t is the general belief hat il
an investigation was conducted by the
federal trade commission into the
causes leading to the present high
prices it would be found that the law
OF supply and demand is a negligible
factor in the establishment of prices

Ram Singh, as q lad, attracted the
