to permit boys to be absent from High

time in catching up with their class
mates. A standard wage of five cen s

1t is planned that businessmen will
be called upon if the boys do not turn

of businessmen to go to the harvest

Of the men will be needed but they
should be ready if called. The busi-
nessmen will be asked to transport the
help from the cities to the harvest
fields in automobiles and the lining up
of these cars must be looked after at
once.
In order to ascertain how much help
the various counties need Mr.. Weston
has planned on going to the fifteen

notify their rural school teachers that
the children in the farming districts
are to find out how many acres of po-
tatoes for the tuber crop will be the

JOHN LYONS dies
IN MARQUETTE.

County Road Commissioner John
Lyons died last Saturday at st. Mary's
hospital in Marquette, after a two
weeks illness. His passing has come
as distinct shock to his many Baraga
county friends, most Of whom were
unaware of the serious nature Of his
illness.
Mr.. Lyons was SO years of age and
he located at Covington during the
'9Os, filing on homestead in that vi
cinity. John has been held in high es-
TEEN by his fellow citizens ever since
they came to know him. He was the
second supervisor of Covington town.
ship, position he was elected to for
a number Of terms. He also held a
trusteeship on the board of education
at one time. John being one of the
few men in his district who believed in
the Democratic doctrine, his personality
was shown when he was elected county
road commissioner on the Democratic
ticket in county strongly Republican.
Mr.. Lyons position in his community
will never be replaced and his fellow
citizens will miss him sadly. He was a
man who always worked for the best
and was ever known to take care of his
public duties to the best of his ability.
The remains were taken to Fond du
Lac, Wisconsin, for burial in the fami-
ly lot, the body being accompanied by
q nephew and niece, Claude and Belle
Horey.
The deceased is survived by one sis
ter, Mrs. Horey of Milwaukee.

At Pastime Theatre.

Marguerite Clark's latest screen ve-
hicle, Helene Of the North. ''presents
this dainty star in the most unique
Characterization she has yet assumed
since her triumphant debut in motion
pictures, under the management Of the
Famous Players Film Co. This latest
five-part feature on the Paramount Pro-
gram combines in decidedly novel man.
ner the cultured atmosphere of aristo-
cratic society circles with the rugged
environment Of the trackless wastes OF
Northwestern Canada.
Between these far extremes the dra-
ma sways with uninterrupted fascina-
tion, and whether in the limitless wilds,
or the warm, luxurious drawing room,
Marguerite Clark is equally effective
and enchanting.
Aside from the extraordinary atmos.
pheric qualities of this dramatic 70.
nance, the entire construction of the
story is very original, beginning as il
does in the fashionable home of ar
English society lady, and developing
from that sheltered spot into the eper
spaces Of the Canadian woods, where q
virile melodramatic plot ensues, culmi
noting romantically in the coy corner
where the drama began.

scenery in every motion and element

ordered the physician who takes look
over the men to see if their bones are
all in proper shape. The physician
turned his head for an instant and when
he looked at his subject again. Selden's s
arms looked Ikea couple of branches
of an ancient tree, so out of shape were
they. "Whatinell is the matter with
you?" yelled the doctor.
Selden grinned and the M. D. sent a
hurry-up call for DR.. Halligan, who
conducts the final examinations. 1t

the benefit of few people.
