CUT-OVER LAND TO BE TILED
One Company Sets Aside 1900 Acres
to Help Feed Employees.

Lansing-Two farms of from 1000
10 1000 acres have been set aside in
the upper peninsula by the Charcoal
Iron Co. for the growing of vegetables.
Secretary A. A. Bingham states that
the product will be distributed among
the 10000 employees of the company
and any surplus will be sold at cost to
the general public.
Frank W. Blair. president. and Mr.
Bingham are directing the plans for
the big project from the Detroit head
quarters of the company.
The action of the company in thus
utilizing its cut-over timber lands of
the upper peninsula is expected to be
followed by scores of numbering and
mining companies in that section
which have similar lands standing
idle.
Horses and labor from the many
camps of the Charcoal Iron Co. will be
used as far as possible in the culti-
walton of the land.
The work will be directed by a
wealthy retired farmer.
In addition to it's use of cut-over
lands the company has also set aside
most Of its available land in and
around the towns of Manistique and
Newberry for cultivation by employees,
and will offer prizes for the best re-
suits.

THRESHERS WASTE GRAIN
State Food Preparedness Committee to
Inspect Machines.

Lansing-At a dinner given to far.
mers in the vicinity of Lansing by
w. X. Prudden a member of the state
food preparedness committee a sug-
gestion was made by Z. w. Banks,
one OF the farmers attending the ban
quet that will no doubt help save q
lot of grain.
Every year the threshers lose US a
lot of good grain" said Banks. go
through the country and look at the
straw stacks. You will see grain of
all kinds left in the straw. Your com
mittee or the state or somebody
should see to it that the threshing
machines are inspected"
The suggestion of Banks struck
former Gov. Warner, the head OF the
committee, with such force that he is
going to make some move toward car
rying it out. 1t is possible under a
law passed by the last legislature
compelling the threshers to make
weekly reports, to have their machines
reached and inspected at all times by
the county agents.

Sydney had been returning from
school for several days with naughty
boy, so his mother said: Sydney, 1

Next day he returned with Stanley
again.
"Why didn't you do as 1 told you,
Sydney?" his mother asked.
"Well, mother, think Stanley's
mother must have told him to pick out
the incest little boy in school, because
he always picks out me-"

MIGHT OFFEND HIS "FoLKS"
Militia colonePs Reason for Ordering
Release of Prisoner Amazes OFF,
Ger of Regulars.

1t is generally believed that the old
differences between the regulars and
the National Guard have been wiped
out long ago, and that the hot and
dusty summer weeks in maneuver
camps have made the National Guards
man the equal of the regular army
man. There may be a lot of truth in
this assumption, too but there is one
lieutenant in the regular army who
will never believe that the militia will
amount to a row of beans until Off
cered by regulars, says a writer on mil
itary affairs.
This is partly accounted for by his
experience on the Mexican border a
few months ago. There had been con-
siderable rowdyism on the part of en-
listed men begging and stealing rides
to and from town on the running
boards of automobiles, and orders had
gone forth to stop the nuisance. Con-
sequently, when one large and pugnSr
cious militiaman was arrested by the
guard for disobeying the order. this
lieutenant of whom l write ordered the
pugnacious one immured in the guard
tent. The lieutenant happened to be
officer of the day and I'm charge of the
situation. The militiaman showed
fight, so the lieutenant told the guard
to sit on the mans neck, If necessary.
1t was just a detail In the days
work. But later on there came march
ing over to the lieutenant a full fledged
colonel commanding the pugnacious
milltiaman's regiment.
IL understand" he said, "that you
have Jim Dumps arrested here for hop
ping on an automobile running board"
"Yes, sir" replied the lieutenant.
swell, now" the colonel explained,
"you just let him go. His folks and
mine are pretty thick, and his being
arrested might make II kinder hard
for me at home"
And the utterly amazed lieutenant
had to obey the orders OF a colonel

easily reached by either automobile or
train. 1t is the largest of the central
New Mexican Indian villages, the cen
ter Of rich agricultural country. The
people are progressive, successful
farmers, but have mingled freely with
their Mexican neighbors to the Getri-
ment of the picturesqueness of their
village. Isleta was one of the most i'm
pOrtant of the early missions. In 1929
there was already built at Isleta
handsome church and convent, minis
tered to by a resident priest.
When the country was recOnquered
by the Spanish after the rebellion, it
was found that all which could be
burned of the old church had been de-
stroyed and the massive walls used for
a corral for goats. The church was re-
built in 1893 and since that time has
been in constant use. 1t is 81 by 10
feet in size and is adjOined by extern

City of the Sky.
AcOma, the famous "City of the
Sky" the most wonderful town in the
United States, is built upon the top of
a wind-swept island of rock, rising pre-.
cipitously $50 feet above the surround
ing sandy plain. Its location gave it
wonderful defense against the savage
tribes that in pre-Spanish times preyed
upon the peaceful village Indians. I'm
til very recently Its top was reached
only by one trail so steep that at places
Ii consisted merely of hand and foot
holes in the face of the cliff, where a
misstep or a stone rolled from above
would hurl a foe to almost certain de-
struction.
Here the inhabitants made q stout
resistance to the Spanish, but were
conquered, and the great church, in
I.lany ways the most wonderful build
ing in America, was built in 1929. 1t
was partially destroyed In 1850, and
rebuilt in 1903. The church is of great
proportion, $50 feet long, 40 feet high
and very massive. Not only was every
particle of adobe used for the walls
carried up the ladder-like trail, for
there is absolutely no soil on the rock
of Acoma, but the great timbers for the
roof beams were brought from the 20
mile-distant mountains by men alone,
for the horse had not been introduced
to New Mexico at that time. Nor is
this all, for adjoining the church is a
considerable convent, and in front of
the church the burying ground, held by
retaining wall along the cliffs rim
at places 40 feet high all made ground,
carried up that hazardous trail on the
backs of men. Was ever such a monu-
ment raised to the zeal of the converts
to a new faith?

CAMP WADSWORTH. S. c., Sept. 81.
This has been the busiest day Camp
WadSworth has had. Two regiments
of infantry were pitching their tents
at the same time and another regiment
was nearing camp. The Sd Regiment
came in yesterday and last night, the
I'd Regiment arrived to-day in four sec
tions and the first section of the LIST
Regiment came in early tonight. The
men on this section remained on the
cars for the night
A gentle but steady rain started
early in the afternoon and continued
until nightfall. The late arrivals had
TO make camp in the rain. but as the
weather was warm there was little in
convenience.
According to information obtained
ir Camp Wadsworth to-day. the 18th
Regiment will be recruited TO the re-
quired war strength of $500 by draw
ing mainly from the lst Regiment As
the 7th will need about 2,l00 men, this
means that the LIST will be left with
fewer men in the entire regiment than
the 7th will have in a single company.
The 1st will be left with its regi-
mental officers, and that is about all.
Drafted men will probably be taken
over, but there is no intimation as TO
how long it will be until this will be
started. The supposltion among Off
GERS here is that the draft men will
come TO Spartanburg as fast as units
of the 9th begin 10 move out.

WASHINGTON, Sept 27.-No report
on the separation Of the marine regi-

mand had been received by the War or
the Navy Department to-day, and Off
Gals regarded it with some surprise.
II was not interpreted, however,, as
meaning that the marines are not to
see active service at the front, but
rather that the need for their services
in provost guard work, in which they
are most proficient, is at this time more
pressing.
There is said to be little doubt that
full brigade of marines will soon be
at the front, and at that time il is
virtually certain it will be assigned q
place in fighting division for trench
duty.
