MORE POTATOES IN GROUND.
Tive Thousand Bushels In One LOCAL..
y Alone Are SSH Out.

Iron County got hit hard by the
cold weather that came on so sud
denly that many OF the farmers and
others couldn't get their potatoes out
Of the ground.
This condition reigns all over the
county, but in one spot south OF the
city of Crystal Falls II seems to be
the worst for there three farmers have
AN aggregate of 1000 bushels of po-
tatoes yet to dig and from present ap,
pearances II looks as If they will not
be able to dig them this fall.
Making up this trio is Tom wills
with 200 bushels, Amos Ismay with
500 bushels and Henry Perry with
500 bushels yet to dig Each OF these
men Went in heavy to potatoes this
year They raised good crops and
succeeded in getting about one half
of their planting dug when the wet
weather came on and from that time
until the present they have been un-
able 10 dig a bushel
There are many more farmers IN
the county that are in the same fix
as these three Crystal Falls men for
the month Of October, which is the
potato digging month in this county.
was an exceptionally unfavorable
one TO all kinds OF harvest,
There is a lot OF disucssion as to
the condition OF these potatoes next
spring. Some hold that they will ba
all right for use provided they are
well covered and not dug until all or
the frost Is out. Others claim that
the frost will sweeten them while ye;
others claim that they will be soft
and utterly worthless
II looks very much as If there viii
be q demonstration on these points
for many Of the potatoes will certain
~ stay in the ground all winter.

In Cost OF Living As a Result.

many pleasures and necessities On
that day the new revenue law went
into effect whereby taxes are impos-
ed upon freight shipments, theater
tickets. passenger tickets. playing
cards and many other items that are
in constant and frequent use by the
American people
The tax that will be felt the most
is the freight and passenger tax, as
II will hit everybody who has to ship
anything over the railroads, and all
who travel
The tax upon passenger tickets Is
especially heavy, an average OF about
per cent OF the amount OF the ticket
being charged as tax.
On ticket from here to Chicago
the purchaser will pay tax OF 62
cents. and on ticket from here 10
Iron River a tax OF cents will be
charged On freight the charge Is
about 3 per cent OF the freight charge
Of the shipment and It will mount M
in the course of a years time.
On express packages the tax viii
run from one cent on packages OF 20
cents or less, to cents on packages
from 30 cents to slOO The charge
graduates up to so cents on $1,000
package. All sleeping and parlor car
charges are increased by 20 per cent
of the cost of the ticket A berth
from this city TO Chicago will cost
1920 from now on.
The increased revenue taxes on liq-
uor and tobacco went into effect on
the 10th and the local dealers were
made to pay taxes ranging from $1,000
to $4,000 on their stocks on hand
The American people will know
from this time that they are at war,
for II will be brought home to them
every day.

REV. MARVIN GIVEN MORE TER.
Bishop Henderson OF Detroit. Changes
Territorial Lines.

Official advices received confirmed
an early report that Bishop Theodore
S, Henderson contemplated changing
the territorial lines in the upper pen
insula so as 10 make northern Michi-
gan one district. This adds consider
able TO the territory of Rev w. Il.
Maryin's territory and gvies one hun
dred churches over which be will have
supervision instead OF q much small
er number.
With the change comes the an
nouncement that the Houghton Meth
odist district will be no more and In
the future IL will be the Upper Pen
insula Methodist district This is iden-
ticsl with the arrangement prevailing
several years ago. and until Bishop
Burt, formerly OF Michigan, saw al "
change the lines so "a TO carve an ad-
ditional district In the Detroit area
Bishop Burt was severely criticised
at the time for this action, a number
OF the clergy believing Il was done TO
provide berth for a district super
intendent whose term was expiring.
New changes added to Rev Mar
wins territory are Sault ste. Marie
Mcmillan, Newberry. Brlmley Trout
Lake, Manistique. Engadine. Pickford
Detour. Pickford circuit. Algonquin.
Grand Marias, ST. lgnace and Trout
Lake circuit The district superln-
teudent will make his first visit TO the
new section next Sunday
IN making the change Bishop Hem
derson announces the object IS TO have
county lines unchanged In compris-
ing a district. that he fayors tile coun-
~ as unit the same as the larger
city represents unit in the churcn
work.
The upper peninsula Is now tie
largest district in the Detroit area ~
square miles and will keep Superin-
tendent Marvin away from home the
greater portion OF the time. Were II
not for the fact that he Is now upon
his sixth and last year as district su
perlntendent he would probably move
TO the iron country. which would be-
a more central location.
