FOREST DESTROYED BY FIRE
Pride Of Late King George Of Greece
Reduced to Ashes-PIayed Large
Part In History.

The wonderful forest of Tatoi. the
pride Of the late King George Of
Greece, was destroyed when fire re-
duced to ashes the summer residence
Of his son. King Constantine. The
tens of thousands Of dollars spent In
cultivating fiourishing pine wood. as
an example Of what might be done
with forestry in barren Attica, have
been burned up as completely as II the
banknotes themselves had been thrown
In the fire.
Tatoi played large part in the his
tory of Greece. Here the Spartans
established themselves In Alb b. q. to
cut Off the supply of grain and food
stuffs bound into Athens from Eubea,
with the purpose Of starving out the
Athenian population. And In 4O4 b. g.,
while Lysander blockaded Athens and
the Piraeus by sea, the Spartans de-
scended from the vicinity of Tatoi, at
tackled and forced the equalization OF
Athens, ending the Peloponnesian war.
The burnt forest, laboriously planted
and protected. was considered to be a
memorial to the past greatness Of
Greece.

MIXING MINORS AND MINERS
Sign Misunderstood by AIkaIi Ike and
Deadwood Dick on Visit to City
After Long Absence.

Alkali Ike and Deadwood Dick drift
ed into western city the other day
with full wallets and mighty thirst.
They had been enforced teetotalers for
many moons, so of course they made a
Decline for Saloon Row. The sign over
the first door they came to staggered
them-"No Minors Allowed"
mo miners allowed, eh?' said AL
kali. "Well, well see about that !"
"You bet !" said Deadwood.
So they rlddled the sign with bullets,
swept through the splintered door,
yanked the terrorized barkeep from his
hiding place, ordered drinks for the
huddled and amazed crowd-and were
arrested in the midst Of jollification
that was really jolly from their side
only.

ernor remarked. He mentioned that 20
per cent of the fires and accidents are
due to preventable causes and could
easily be avoided by the exercise Of
reasonable care and precaution.
He also quoted statistics showing that
141 persons lost their lives and 1873
were seriously injured from fire acci-
dents In the year 1915. The fire losses
for the first eight months Of 1915 were
$3.50, 535, 220, which is nearly $50,OO0.-
600 larger than for the same period OF
the previous year.

Good Roads Workers Meet.

Fifty road commissioners. In the low
er peninsula and several good road
promoters who hold no official posi-
tien met here with State Highway
Commissioner Frank Rogers. The state
official explained his plans regarding
the federal appropriation passed by the
last congress.
Rogers PLAN is to finish the legisla-
eral money. Many gaps in these roade
are caused because the county authori-
ties did not have sufficient funds to
complete them. Upper peninsula road
builders met with Rogers at Marquette
recently and heard his plans. He pro-
poses that the government pay one
half, the state one-quarter and the To-
cal communities one-quarter.

Troops Get Hard Test.


Eel Paso, Textile two Michigan
regiments of infantry are now on tho
long heralded 15-day hike. The Thirty
first regiment just came In from its
15-day border detail In time to JOIN
with the other regiments Of the divi-
sion In the march into New Mexico.
Owing to the difficulties which wOald
have been encountered by the troops In
march to the Mescalero Indian reser-
walton, the route of the hike" originally
planned, was changed. The troops will
march from Ell Paso to Fort Selden, a
distance of 8S miles.
The route to the MescalerO reserva-
ton would have necessitated the pack
ing of water for the Is regiments In
the march, as after leaving FL Paso
city limits, there would have been no
water supply for distance Of 80
miles. On the route to Fort Selden,
however, the men traverse fertile val
leys major portion of the way, and
will be able to secure plentiful supplies
of water.
Fifteen regiments are participating
the two Michigan regiments, Ave
Ohio, three Kentucky, three Massa-
chusetts and two South Carolina. Be-
sides the soldiers, the procession in
cludes 6,70O animals and 200 motor
trucks, 10000 men are in the line,
which Is Is miles long. After leaving
Las Cruces communication with the
outside world will be practically cut Off

Sets Fire Prevention Day.

Estate Fire Prevention day" was OBJ
served Monday, October 8, the anniver-
sary Of the great Chicago fire, accord
ing to proclamation by Governor Fer

In his proclamation the governor ur-
gently recommended that residents Of
Michigan observe the day by cleaning
up and removing all rubbish, trash and
infiammable waste and material from
their premises. and asked all newspa-
pers. public officials. school teachers
and fire departments and all civic so
cieties and property owners to take an

He said that the result will be the
removal of fire hazards and that there
will be corresponding promotion Of

Expect Long Service on Border.

The departure of Gen. John p. Kirk
and his staff with Batteries A and b,
First field artillery, for the border Is
believed to be the beginnins Il a long
term Of service for the Michigan
guardsmen at the border. Increasing
number Of raids on the part of bandits
In Mexico are looked upou here as due
In large measure to the transporting
of troops from the border, and since
many organizations already are sOr-
dered back to camps, for muster-out,
officers here believe that the Michigan
guardsmen will get more than their
share of service.
The Thirty-third regiment band sere-
naded General Kirk and his staff just
before the signal for starting was
given. Nearly every guardsman In
camp witnessed the departure, which
was made In two sections of IA cars
each.
Since Maj. f. l.. Wells has recon.
mended that Fort Wayne, Detroit. be
designated as recruit depot instead
of Camp Ferris, owing to the cold
weather. 1t is probable that Camp Fer
ris will be entirely deserted before the
end Of the month. Capt. Clarence
Deem, u. 8. A., who was here instruct
Ing the artillery, has also recommend
ed to the war department the advisa-
bility Of moving the recruit station to
Detroit. Water In basins and faucets
has been frozen two mornings and
camp life is anything but pleasant It
is expected that the organizations will
be mustered out also at Detroit, as 1t
would be dangerous to health to ex-
pose the troops coming from the warm
southern climate to the rlgors of q
northern Michigan winter.

Men Paid Too Much.

tional defense act of June 3 and the
former law relative to the pay OF a
mess sergeant has caused those hold
ing this position in the Michigan or

too much, 1t was discovered by lieu
tenant. The old law provided that a
regular sergeant who did the mess SER
geant work i'm addition to his own was
entitled to So more than the usual $50.
The new law created the grade of mess
sergeant and established the pay ut
$50 a month. The mess sergeant I'M
der the new law has no other duties,
and hence Is not considered entitled to
more pay. Practically $500 too much
has been paid out to mess sergeants
here and will be collected from their
pay this month.

TEACH FARMINGIN
u MORE SCHOOLS
Agriculture Now Part of Curricu-
Ium in Sixty Towns and
Cities.
PROF. FRENCH IS IN CHARGE
M. A. c. Graduates Are Directing
Work Of New Departments
Wherever They Have
Been Established.

Lansing.-Pupils in IL additional
Michigan high schools will be afforded
the opportunity this year of acquiring
the fundamentals of farming through
new courses which have been estab-
lished In dozen towns and cities
throughout the state. The total num-
Der of schools now offering agriculture
as part of the high school curriculum Is
60. In the 49 schools which existed
prior to this fall 1874 pupils were en-
rolled, according to Prof. w. FL.
French of NJ. A. c., who has direction
of the agricultural departments In the
state at large.
Those schools into which agriculture
was introduced this fall are: Colon.
Durand, Elk Rapids, Frankfort, How
ell, Lawton, Ludington, OwOsso, st. Jo-
seph, Scottville, Three Rivers, Traverse
City and vicksburg. NJ. A. c. gradu-
ates have been placed In charge of the
new departments in all of them.
Few M. A. c. Students From Country.
The matriculatiOn slips filled out
by freshmen entering the Michigan Ag-
ricultural college this year show that
the fathers of only 161 of the 523
freshmen are farmers or men engaged
in agricultural pursuits. The parents
of the other two-thirds of the class
represented practically every profess
sion and calling.
The fact that not more than 16l OF
the new students came from the farm
this fall has been attributed to the
off season which the farmers have suf-
fered in the past two years and the
consequent heavy damage to crops.
The average age of the entering
class was little over nineteen years.
The Oldest freshman was forty-four
years of age. The youngest was six
teen.
The students who came from the
greatest distance were two young men,
one missionary's son from Durham,
| in Natal, South Africa, and the other
n Filipino from Maliano, in Capiz,
Philippine Islands.
Further inquiry disclosed that
about 30 per cent of the freshmen
| take baths twice u week, 30 per cent
three times Il week, and the rest at
periods of greater or less frequency.
Only few, less than 10 per cent, adj
mitted that they thought once a week
was often enough.

DA|RY|NG IN
WESTERN CANADA
Accompanying Industries Also
Prove Highly Profitable.

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today is in highly
flourishing condition and is bound in
very short time to become much
more important. The war has created
a great demand for that article, and
it's use abroad has given it lot of
useful advertising The article known
as Canadian cheese is now sought not
| only by the soldier in the trenches,
but by the ordinary civilian consumer,
who, having used it, is quick to ap-
preciate it's value. This means that
after the war there will be demand
created for it that would not other
wise have been. Up to the present
the war needs have limited the local
supply, but with the increased effort
that is now being put forth it is hoped
| that this will be met. AS matter of
course the prices are high, and the
farmers who contribute to the cheese
factories are making money.
The cheese season is now fully open
and there Is every prospect of an ex-
cellent year because the high price
which obtained last year will undoubt-
eddy be maintained this season. West
ern Canada has all the natural re-
sources for the making of cheese, the
feed and the cool nights, two things
essential, and in time it is bound to
become one of the finest cheese coun-
tries Of the continent.
The lower foothills of Alberta, used
only at the present time as ranges or
for no purpose, will in time produce
cheese in great quantities, and doubt
less will soon equal the famous up
lands of Denmark.
The cool nights mean the better
keeping Of milk and cream and
cheese, and that is great thing for
the industry, especially when COM
bined with possibilities Of cattle feed
such as exist on the long slopes from
the Rockies eastward.
The hog market, which may be
classed as an adjunct of farming, is
an exceedingly good one, and the low
cost at which the feed can be pro-
duced, coupled with the high prices
realized, make this industry very prof
table.
One of the first thoughts that occur
to the mind of the average prospective
settler is the likelihood Of suitable
markets. In this connection the fol-
lowing table will be Illuminating. 1t

packers and exporters, of Calgary, and
shows the average monthly price paid
for hogs for the six years 1910 to 1915
inclusive, When one considers the low
initial cost of the land and the small
overhead cost of maintenance and
feed, these prices challenge compari-
son.
