at that time apparently in good
health.

later succeeded.
The Matsons had one child, a
daughter born in Goldfield, now

RESIDENTS MAY Use
SCHOOL EQUIPMENT.

The installment of a six bottle, iron
clad Babcock Milk Tester, Truog
Soil Tester and an Improved Farm Lev
ell in The L'Anse high school laboratory
has recently been made and the use of
any Of this apparatus by any resident
is offered by Supt. w. S. Toothacker.
Any one having milk or cream to be
tested for butter fat or soil to be test
ed for acidity may bring a sample to
the school house and see the test run.
1t has been stated that large per-
centage of the farm soil of many states
will not produce good crops of certain
kinds such as clover. alfalfa, peas,
beans, etc., because of the acid in it..
This tester not only indicates the pres
ence of the acid but also indicates the
degree of acidity and hence the quanti-
ty of lime necessary. 1t is more reli-
able than the litmus test and will be
fully explained to any one interested
upon application to Supt. Toothacker
or Principal Verle E. Wyble.

COUNTY IS ASKED
TO CONTRIBUTE

IN designating Saturday, April 2lst,
as Red Cross Foreign Relief Day, Mrs.
John G. Stone says in part:
America owes as great debt TO
Belgium as does France, England, or
any other country. And now Belgium
us being cruciied.l Shall we "pass by
on the other side" and say, at is not
our AFFAIR."" The able-bodiod men of
Belgium have given ''tho last full
measure of devotion" The younger
men who might have taken their places
have been carried away into bondage.
There are left the old and helpless, and
the little children, and they are
STARVING. Can those Of us who
have children look into their healthy
happy little faces and not feel dutch
at our hearts when we think of those
little ones who have lost fathers,
brothers, and too often mothers also,
and have no way of getting enough of
even the poorest kind Of food to Keep
their little souls in their bodies? Do
we not owe it to Belgium to see to it
that her only hope Of a future, her
children, are saved TO grow up into
strong healthy men and women, that
"This nation may. not perish entirely
from the earth?" What Belgium has
suffered, northern France has suffered,
and what do we not owe to France,
who sent us Lafayette and Rochambeau?
Shall we make no return?
Poland has been devastated almost
as completely as Belgium, and has
only population OF starving and dy-
ing people. Serbia too has lost her all
and is asking for bread, as are also the
Jews in Russia and Palestine. And
all Christian people must hear the cry
of Armenia ringing in their ears.
What Armenia has suffered from the
hands of the Turks no language is
adequate to express.
The calls for help come from so
many quarters, some of Us have felt
bewildered, not knowing to which to
respond, and being unable to give
enough to divide.
Now we are to be given an oppor-
tunity to give our share, however small.
Through the American Red Cross
society we may send funds to be used
in the relief of the suffering people Of
all the nations of Europe. By joining
all together we can send sum large
enough to give a substantial help to
each one. though our individual gifts
may be any amount down to penny.
AS we would that other should do
unto US. If we we're in such dire need,
let US bend every energy to make gift
of which we my be proud.

CLUBS FOR BOYS and
GIRLS IN The COUNTY.

Regarding the organization of boys
ang girls potato clubs in Baraga coun-
ty, j. A. Petrie, agricultural extern
sion sgent at Marquette, says:
Owing to demand by the Grange and
other organizations in Baraga County
we are attempting to do something this
year in Boys and Girls Club work.
After the first of July there will be
man in the Upper Peninsula to spend
all of his time on this work and until
that time service will be gladly rendered
from this Office by Miss Margaret
Justin, Specialist in Home Economics,
Mr.. j. W. Weston, Asst. Leader of
County Agents and by myself.
There is no place in the United
States where greater results may be
obtained through cooperative club work
than in the Upper Peninsula. This has
already been demonstrated by some OF
the boys in Marquette County. One
boy in said county won the State
Championship for growing potatoes
last year, his yield being 416 bushels
per acre.
The potato club proposition is not an
expensive thing. The principle ex.
pense is for the seed. One.quarter
acre of land is required. The boys
must be between the ages of ten and
eighteen. Wherever club is desired
we shall be glad to come and organize
it in cooperation with your County
School Commissioner, s. 0. Clinton,
who is greatly interested in this work.
There must be at least five members in
each club.
After the club is formed and the
officers and local leader elected, we
send bulletins on the subject chosen to
the members, so that they may study
the fundamental principles Of agricul-
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1917-04-14

ture which underly the project. These
bulletins tell the boy or girl how to
prepare the land, select the seed,
treat the potatoes for scab and other
diseases, cultivate them, spray the
crop, and how to select seed for the
coming year in the fall, from high
producing hills which are true to type
and free from disease.
The representative of the Agricul-
tural College makes frequent calls on
each club and helps them in any things
which may trouble the members. The
boys and girls in each club have to
keep an accurate record of all opera
tions. cost of seed. time of planting,
hours of boy labor, hours of horse labor,
if horse is used, number and time
of spraying, time of harvest, yield,
profit etc. At the end of the project
they write story on "How I Made
my Potato Crop" The boys and girls
then compete for prizes on the four
point basis as follows.
1. Quality.
2. Yield.
3. Profit or cost Of production.
a. Character of report and story.
l hope that this will explain in a
brief way the plan of club work and
that something may be started in your
county.
Club work will do the following
things:
l.. Teach the boys and girls the
best methods known in raising their
particular crop.
2. Teach them to follow directions.
8. Teach them to work together.
d. Show them how to open and con-
duct meeting.
s. Improve their English and COM
position.
6. Show them the advantage of
keeping an accurate record of farming
operations.
z. Give them keener interest in
agriculture.
8. Improve the agriculture of the
community after some of the other
people see that these methods bring
better results.
9. Will bring in little ready mon
ey if the project is performed in the
right way.

the rector of any church. in the Copper
Country, marked for the Red Cross
Foreign Relief, or may send it directly
to John C. Condor, Hancock, treasurer
for the Red Cross Foreign Relief fund,
to whom also all checks may be made
out. Give all you can, as this will be
the only united effort to contribute to
this cause, but remember, if you can
not give as much as you would like.
that every dime, nickel and penny will
help, as a dime will feed hungry
child for one day.
Let US make "Red Cross Foreign
Relief Day" Red Letter day.

ELECTION NOT OPEN
TO CONTEST NOW.

Last Saturdays issue of the Hough-
ton Mining Gazette carried the state
ment that the township election held
in L'Anse would be contested on the
grounds that the caucuses had been
held day too late. 1t stated that the
old township board would contest the
election and had engaged Attorney w.
Abner Crebassa of Ahmeek to look
after the legal points for them.
Saturdays article was the first
intimation here that the election would
be contested. and we are of the opinion
that the story was begun in the nature
of joke. Be that as it may, however,
Village Attorney Hambitzer of Hough-
ton discussed it as a matter of legal
Importance and stated that the contest
ha begun too late.
The matter arises from the fact that
the tickets nominated at L'Anse for
township officers were nominated at
caucuses held less than 20 days before
the election. Mr. Hambitzer had two
similar cases put up to him for opinion
since the election and he advised that
the election must be ratified in each
case.
The law prescribes that caucuses
must be held at least 20 days before
the election but also that in the event
of violation of this provision pro-
must be filed before the election is held.
After the people have expressed their
will at the polls this law cannot be
invoked to overthrow it.
If the law did not uphold the eelction,
it would have meant the throwing out
of the winning ticket in Baraga town
ship also. In Baraga township the
Farmers ticket was nominated twenty
days before election, but the Citizens
ticket was nominated the same night
at the L'Anse tickets were. If the
candidates on the Farmers had filed
their protest before election, it would
have put only the one ticket on the
ballot, while in L'Anse the ballot
would have been printed blank.
The L'Anse township board approved
the election Monday.

RED
CROSS SOCIETY,

Though it is not generally known,
Pequaming has had red cross society
for the psst three years. This society
was organized by Mrs. B. r. Marsden
and Miss Marv +. Hebard of Philadel-
phis. who supplied all materials t6. be
used in making pajamas. b tn robes.
bandages, and tampons. At the same
time, the Pequaming organization was
made branch of the Philadelphia
society.
The second year after the society 8
institution, Mrs. Chas. S. Hebard
supplied all materials used, and be-
ginning with the third year Mrs. d.
l.. Hebard has furnished the material.
In other communities solicitation of
funds is made to purchase such material
as is necessary in the making of the
various garments, ETC., but Pequaming
has Jared much better by the different
members of the Hebard family donat-
ing the same.
This Red Cross class, as it may be
called, meets every second Thursday
afternoon and every housewife in Pc
quaming is member. Aside from
this large enrolment was made last
summer, which included practically all
the men of the town. This means that
the community as whole is helping
out. The articles made the first year
or two were used by the Red Cross
Society of the Allies. but of late the
goods are used by the American Red
Cross exclusively.
The following is a letter received by
the Pequaming society from the
Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter, of
which Pequaming is member:
Philadelphia, Pa,
March IL, 1917.
We want to thank you for
your very beautiful box of pa
jamas and tampons. Both these
articles have teen very much
wanted of late, and we receive
such quantities of congresses
and so few of these articles
that they are all the more
doubly welcome. You have
most wonderful committee, and
your enthusiastic work is an
incentive to us here in the East,
for we hear such discouraging
reports of the inactivity of the
West, and we are so proud to
quote our friends at Pequam-
ing Michigan.
Cordially yours,
Mrs. Reed A. Morgan.
This goes to show. that even though
the small village of Pequaming is 8
miles from railroad, it is three years
ahead of the copper country and pro-
baby the whole upper peninsula in
giving a helping hand to our country.
Another box of pajamas, bathrobes,
and tampons is now ready for ship
ment and will go forward in day or
two. This makes the sixth or seventh
large box from Pequaming.
