Charged II to War

A big outdoor bazaar was to be
held in New York City recently and
the promoters wanted to insure
against rain to the extent of $4,000
with the Lloyds. They were informed
that owing to the war the usual rate
of rain insurance, per cent, had
been more than doubled This is sure
some war. They even claim that the
sudden increase of rats in this coun-
try is due to the rats deserving the
sinking ships.

Since farming is made more of a
science, and a mechanical one, it loses
much of the picturesque. 1t has al
ready lost so much that painters have
had to seek in Europe for their har-
vest scenes. where primitive agricul-
tural methods still survive in out-of-
the-way places. No artist, we be-
lieve, has yet portrayed a modern
harvesting machine gathering in and
binding the wheat, but artists love to
depict an antique man with an an
tique scythe doing the work Ia
Father Time.
The artists will have to overcome
their timidity or quit the countryside
altogether. If Joseph Pennell can
idealize a skyscraper, are others to be
afraid of threshing machine Such
a mechanical appliance in operation
may not surround itself with an air of
romance, but it offers the opportunity
for the painter to display faction"
More can probably be done with the
threshing machine and its sweating
attendants by means of the pencil or
paint brush than for these mighty
tractors which are now employed to
turn up the soil in sixteen burrows
at time. Art may hate machinery,
but it can very little longer ignore it.

REPORT DECREASE OF CRIME
British Prison Commissioners Have
Recently Made Report That Will
Be Read Win Interest.

The prison commissioners of Great
Britain have just published their an
nual report for the year ending March
1915. The decrease OF persons who
were received under sentence during
the war year of 1915 is another
proof that employment is the great
cure for crime. The total number of
persons convicted amounted to only
l14.2S3, including debtors and those
committed by courts martial, a de-
crease of 1890 as compared with the
year of 1914, and the lowest num-
Der of convictions on record The
greater part of this decrease is at
tributed to circumstances connected
with the war. Enlistment has given
employment to many OF the habitual
petty offenders. the restricted hours
for the sale of intoXicants has un-
doubtedly decreased the amount of
well-paid labor has given employment
to the many.

Summer School Begins Monday

Summer school for all pupils of
school age in the Lamar school dis
trict will open at o'clock on Monday
morning in the Lincoln and Pioneer
school buildings. Mrs. Eugene Church
will be principal Of the Lincoln school
and Mrs. Clara Enlow will be princi-
pal of the Pioneer summer school. Mr.
Geo. Raeth, manual training instruc-
tor, will teach manual training in
both schools. Each school will have
two sessions, to $3.50 and 10 to
IL 80, with thirty minute play ses-
sion between. There will be no af-
ternoon sessions. The only expense
connected with the summer school is
Il charge of SOC per week tuition from
each student, which helps pay the
cost of the school There will be no
extra charge for manual training
Students are advised to take only u
few studies, concentrating their eff
forts on one or two subjects in which
they need special help. The thirty
minute play period will be supervised
and will be made valuable part of
the summer school. If the school en-
rollment becomes excessive, addition
al teachers from the regular teaching
force of the Lamar schools will be
added. The summer school proved
very popular last year and with the
additional advantages offered this
year there should be good attend
ance. Six weeks work mixed with
play will harm no child and will be of
great benefit to many

Grand Rapids Turnkey Gives
First Aid to Wounds-They
Call Him "Doctor."

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. Ian. 2s-
About 100 noses and perhaps twice
that many ears have been patched up
by Turnkey Stephen Hale at police
headquarters during his tenure OF office.
1t is quite a record, when one considers
that Hale's education along medical
lines is NIL.
The neasest Turnkey Hale ever has
been to regular college where they
teach men to become doctors was down
at Ann Arbor years ago. when he visited
the campus. At that time friends pointed
out to the turnkey the place where they
turn out physicians every year and give
them the right to write NJ. D. after
their names.
Every big city has it's fights at night.
Grand Rapids has its share of brawls
and the rules of fighting among a GER
tain class seems to cling pretty close
to the Catch-as-catch-can style. So not
infrequently the victims Of these fights
reach police headquarters with a bit OF
n nose or the lobe of an ear missing.
Hale doesn't count gouged faces and
ugly scratches. He attends to patients
as prisoners. as they land in the station,
and unless the victim has been consider
too badly with boots, fist and teeth.
Hale pulls out his kit OF first aid tools
and gets busy.
A long time ago Hale's talent for the
work he now does was discovered with
the arrival at headquarters OF a vicious
character whose ears and nose showed
some one had gotten the better of him
He wouldn't have the city physician
attend him. Hale's heart was touched
by the mans suffering. nevertheless. so
after a while he pulled him forth and
practiced the art Of healing. The victim
didn't feel nearly as bad as he looked
the following morning. with his head
bandaged up. and after that the turn
key was dubbed "Dr. Hale"
Perhaps it was fate that decided
Hale should try the kits worthness
first on the thirteen victims OF a drunk
en- mans stabbing at a wedding at ST.
Isadore's Hall. in the northeast section
of the CITY. After the riot call to police
headquarters that night had subsided
Hale's patients numbered thirteen. but
despite the unluCky number Hale bent
to his task. None of the men wes badly

arms being the injuries. These the

FIRE ENDS CAREER
OF A "HOODOO SHIP"

SAN JUAN. Porto Rico. Jan. 10 (by
maiD.-The burning Of the four-masted
American schooner Forest city In San
Juan harbor a few nights ago marked
the close OF the career OF vessel long
known along the Atlantic coast as a
"hoodoo ship"
The Forest City came in here in dis
tress from Colabara. on the west coast
OF Africa with cargo OF palm oil for
New York. At 10 p. m. soon after she
was tied up at a bulkhead. smoke was
seen issuing from her forward hatch.
The San Juan fire department hurried
to the pier. and the coast guard cutter
Itasca and steamer John f. Berwind
pumped water into the flames in the
schOoners hold.

Of the hulk burned until next dav.
The entire cargo was lost with the
ship. 1t was valued at sl25. 30. and
the Forest City cost $4,000 when she
was built at Mllbridge. Me. in 1904.
She was owned by Frankel & Co. Her
captain. II. r. Allen. was making his
first trip as her master.
1t Is said that the Forest City never
made a voyage without mishap. On
her last trip she was blown far out
of her course. and when she put into
San Juan she was leaking badly. with
several spars gone. Three of her crew
had contracted beri-bcr during her
seYenty-one days run from Africa.
Several years ago, then being known
as the Mrvtle Tunnel. she went fast on
Frying Pan Shoals. of North Carolina.
and 1t was several months before she
was pulled off and towed into Savannah,
