CLEANUP DAY

The Enterprise heartily en-
dorses the adoption of Tuesday,
April 10, as general cleanup day
for Weakley county, and hopes
that every householder in the
county will begin at once laying
plans for devoting that entire day
to a thorough cleaning OF the
premises.
The suggestion was made by
Hon. Allen Sharp, president OF
the Weakley County Farmers In
stitute, and County Judge Mayo
has issued proclamation declar.
ing Tuesday, April 10, general
clean up day for the entire coun-
ty. Where previous dates have
not already been set, this applies
to the towns as we'll as to the rural
communities, and it is most ear
nestly hoped that every citizen Of
the county will lend his hearty co.
operation by falling in line and
beautifying his premises.

Mr.. sharp's suggestion is par

Mr.. Sharp's suggestion is par
ticularly for farmers. Let them
take an inventory beforehand and
plan for the removal of all un-
slightly, ugly objects in the front
ward, at the front gate, around the
house. And when this is done
let a few flowers and rose bushes
adorn the places made vacant by
the removal of these unsightly OBJ
iects. Whitewash the fences, the
buildings which show from the
public road, straighten up that
porcb.post on the front gallery,
take the harness and pillow gear off
the front porch, remove that mir
ror hanging alongside the front
door and provide a shelf in the
rear for the wash basin.
With anything like the proper
spirit and interest, the observance
Of this day ought to wonderfully
change the appearance of our rue
raj homes in Weakley county.

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Try it! Hair gets soft, fluffy and
beautifuI-Get a rs cent bottle
of Danderine.

If you care for heavy hair that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an incompatible softness and
is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle of
dandruff. You can not have nice
heavy, healthy hair if you have
dandruff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of its lustre, its strength and
its very life, and if not overcome 1t
produces feverishness and itching of
the scalp; the hair roots famish,
loosen and die; then the hair falls out
fast. Surely get a 25-cent bottle Of
Knowlton's Danderine from any drug
store and just try 1t.

HEMLOCK NINE GAZING IN
Shaft l. Gone And Station Must BE
abandoned

Word was received from Amasa
last Tuesday TO the effect that the
old Hemlock mine was caving in
and the thing was so threatening
that the North Western railroad will
have to abandon it's track between
the old office ard the station and
move the station down to the vicin-
ity OF ahe water tank
a pile of ore stood on the stocking
dock and that went down. or IA great
deal Of Il did. Even IT the ore doesn't
80 down IL viii be impossible to get
at il because OF the trcachcrous ma
ture OF the ground over which the
train must run.
The Hemlock mine was abandoned
by the Pickands- -Mathcr people over
year ago. the property having been
completely worked out.

IRON RIVER SOLDIERS.
Fifty Men From West Side Town In
Menomlnee Company.

There was a great deal OF enthus-
iasm evidenced at Iron River last
Sunday when fifty applicants for ad-
mission to the United States army
were mustered into Company l. OF
Menominee. The Menominee company
is on service duty now. guarding the
ore docks at Menominee II was not
OF full membership according to the
regulations necessary 10 have the
company mustered into the federal
service and so the recruiting OF the
company to n war basis was com
menced The Iron River boys wanted
to stay together and to that end they
offered their services TO company +.
IL that company should deign 10 con-
slider the offer The Menominee boys
were only too glad 90 take up tile Of
fer and last Saturday contingent
from the company went to Iron River
whore the applicants were examined
and those who passed the examina-
ton were mustered into service IN
front of the Boyington House Sunday
afternoon
The services were very impressive
and very large gathering OF peo.
pie was out 20 do honor to the oc-
casion. The company departed on
the evening train for Escanaba where
they go into training and will rcmaln

LOOKS LIKE AN
ANTI-WAR PLOT
SPIKES PULLED FROM Is RAILS
AHEAD OF SOLDIERS TRAIN
MATTER BEING INVESTIGATED
Train Bearing Iron River Soldiers
Tagged Between Paiatka and
Caspian Sunday Evening

What, on the face OF il, looks like
plot to derail a train bearing sol
diers but which may have resulted
from accident or other causes, hap
pened between Caspian and the Pal
atka last Sunday evening when the
passenger was tagged by a track
walker and held up while the spikes
in fifteen ties were driven. The
spikes were out on both sides OF
the track and to some it looks like
the work Of some one who wished
10 wreck the train while others say
that there is no evidence Of any
conspiracy.
Discovered by Track Walker
The lack of spikes was discovered
by a track walker sent, we are told,
to look over the track ahead OF the
train. A special train had passed
over the faulty piece OF track about
1880 in the afternoon. II is claimed
that sufficient number of spikes
had been removed to wreck any
train and that, had the spikes been
out when the said train passed ov-
er the place, there certainly would
have been a wreck.
For this reason some figure that
that time and the time the troop
train came along
AT any rate the matter was con-
gidered serious one for had the
train been derailed there were very
good chances for heavy toll being
taken in human life.
Inspector Sees Nothing Wrong
From the Stambaugh station we
learned on Wednesday that a rep
preventative of the company's sec
ret service visited the place the
following day and made an inspec
tion OF the place. the conditions and
the attending circumstances and held
that in his opinion il was not done
as the result of plot but came
about from natural causes.
This is the time of the year when
the frost Is going out of the road
bed and such thing as the spikes
having been pulled out in that way
is possible
The claim is also made that the
number of spikes lacking wouldn't
derail a train. These, OF course, are
all opinions. AS to any clues or sus-
picions there are none.

and the other named Gustav, went
out Friday evening to find their COW
which had strayed away from the
farm.
They failed to return Friday night
and Immediately search was made

large number OF men and boys Joined
in the search which was continued ali
through the day Saturday and enter
ed into with redoubled vigor Sunday

When the boy brought the search

they can drive with comfort right

have no difficulty in getting through
TO Sagola as Mr.. Flanagan has driv-

go TO the line without getting their
car muddy
IF one can get over Fifth street
he can go right through to Alpha and
on to Iron Mountain without the
least bit OF difficulty. The road has
been open that way for some time.
West, one can go as far as the
poor farm without trouble. but can
not advise anyone TO attempt TO go to
Iron River until, say next Tuesday.
The bad spot on the poor farm hill
is being repaired and we are trying
TO repair IL for keeps this time by do
ing a lot OF understanding. This
spot has been an eyesore every
spring Last year the piece on Ice
lake hill was so much worse that at
tention was drawn from the poor
farm hill. We fixed the Ice lake hill
last spring so completely that II Is
standing up well this spring and
when we get the poor farm hill fixed

Iron county has made arrangements
with the Barrett people to furnish

FUSS OVER SHOW
Prevention OF Exhibition Of "Blrth Of
a Nation Caused Complaint

The manager OF the Birth OF a
Nation" made arrangements TO pro-
duce his picture play at the city hall
auditorium. VIM. 81 Arnauld taking
the chances of arrest and punishment
for the production.
The play house in the city building
is on the second story and the state
law forbids performances OF moving
picture shows in second story play
houses. There is no other play house
I'm the city large enough 10 accommo-
date a crowd sufficient 10 allow the
picture TO be exhibited here at a
profit.
The city building is a fire proof
structure with plenty OF exits in cases
OF emergency and is admirably patrol
ed on every occasion when II is oc-
cupied by fremen placed there for
that purpose IL is a much safer
place in which to hold an exhibition
of the kind than either the Uno or
Gen theatres which are located in old
wooden buildings.
However, there is no option given
under the law. The state fire marshal
is not empowered TO make inspection
OF buildings and grant special per
mits under special restrictions. When
Mr.. st. Arnauld wrote to him for
permit the state marshal replied that
he vase not empowered to give anyon
permit to disobey the law. In addi-
tion he gave orders TO cause the ar
rest of anyone who ventured to show
the picture in disobedience to the
state law.
Mr. St Arnuald figured out that he
could stand the fine and so told the
manager that he would stand sponsor
for the play in the city hall
When Mr. McGovern arrived here
Monday morning all question as 10
who was responsible for the com
plant was set aside by the exhibition
OF a letter from Ed Bregger, written
to Deputy Dewey in whihc he asked
that the production be stopped
lie further stated that he had wired
the state fire marshal OF the attempt
to display he picture in this city
Mr.. Dewey told Mr. McGovern that
he had instructions to cut the wires
and stand at the door with gun" TO
prevent the picture being exhibited in
the city building. So MIR. McGovern
broke off the arrangement and made
one with Lee Wilson 10 produce the
picture at the Uno. The place was
much too small TO allow the crowd OF
people who wanted TO see the picture
but pretty good service was given,
taking everything into consideration.
The greatest disappointment came TO
some hundred or more children for
the convenience OF whom special ar
rangements had been made at re-
duced price on Monday afternoon had
the picture been exhibited at the city
hall They were unable TO get to see
IL al the Uno because OF the price and
room.
