A Paper Controller.

Great Britain now has its Paper
Controller. concerning whose identity
there has been a f1utter of excitement
In the publishing and newspaper
worlds. There is, however, very much
less talk and less fuss about the adj
vent of this new official than there was
over the subject of the Introduction
of food rationing. although the inno-
walton is capable of having much
greater effects on the life of the coun-
try than the mere reduction of the
consumption of certain food supplies.
Ell. A. Vernet, on whom 1t has de-
volved. is a director of the Under
ground Electric Railways company.

ITH the entrance of American troops
into the front-Iine trenches the rifle
is coming into its own in the Eu-
ropean war Hitherto, except with
the Canadians, it has not played the
part that might have been expected
of it.
Already the deadly accuracy OF
American craftsmanship has taken
its toll of German victims, for the
rifle is the favorite weapon of our
troops.
The reasons for this are several.

Iron County War Board 10 Take Steps
To Make Every Man Work.
GO TO WORK
GO TO WAR
or
GO TO JAIL

The above is to be the slogan OF the
Iron county war board when IL gets
actively at work. One OF the sub
tects taken up at the meeting last
Monday forenoon was that OF making
every man work IL was the unani-
nous opinion OF everyone present
that some action must be taken 10
relieve the county OF loafers who,
Just now when the nation needs their
work so badly are the worst kind OF
slackers.
Just what action will be taken has
not been decided upon and will not
be until the canvass of the several
precincts OF the county has been
made by the committees now at work
in the central war activity plan. In
Iron River, Stambaugh and Bates
township the canvass Is now being
made and the central committee over
there will soon be able TO give an ac-
eurate list of all loafers in any Of
the three townships.
The committees in Crystal Falls,
Mastodon, Hematite and Mansfield
will soon be at work and have accur-
ate information regarding every man,
woman and child in the county and
every home will be canvassed, every
boarding house combed and even the
remote shacks in the woods visited.
When full information is given as
to the slackers, the war board will
get busy and the loafer who escapes
will be mighty fortunate. AS one
member of the war board said, Iron
county will be stunned by every loaf

In some states laws have been en-
acted compelling everybody to work al

the first state to pass such law and

MOUNTED POLICE HERE.

A scare was thrown into Florence
visitors last Saturday night when a
detail OF mounted constabulary stop
ped. each auto met with on the Crys-
tai Falls-Florence road and searched
the occupants OF the car and also the
car The appearance of the men was
a complete surprise to the Florence
visitors.
The men took post short dis
tance south OF the Alpha turn and as
each auto came along IL was stopped !:
the occupants ordered out. One man
searched the occupants OF the car
while the other went through the car.
In some way word was passed back
and some humorous feats are report
ed TO have been performed by those
carrying bottles across the line
The men took the numbers OF svs.
picious cars and, no doubt, have them
on their lists. The police were not
over ofiicious They Just warned
those they examined of the risk that
they run in trying to fetch liquor into
Michigan.
II Is understood that the men will
not stay on the Job permanently, but
that they will appear suddenly when
reports come 10 them OF frequent trips

CLEANING OUT THE BOOZE.
Sheriff Wilson and State Police Made
Big Hauls Last Tuesday.

Sheriff Wilson, Deputy Chard and
two state police, Corporais y. 7. Ma
deau and Judson Hayerland, swooped
down upon Iron River and Stambaugh
last Tuesday and made the biggest
cleaning so far made in the county.
The first place visited was Mike
Puller's outfit in French town." a
portion OF Iron River village. Mike
is an old acquaintance OF the county
officers and 1t was natural that he
should be one OF the first TO receive a
call from them. He contributed tive
kegs OF beer and a 10-gallon keg II
wsikey TO the collection which the Of
ficers were making that day.
Joe DeCanale was the next to re
ceive visit. He contributed four
quarter barrels OF beer and box OF
bottled beer. Leon Chiela was the
next on the visiting list. Two hal
barrels and one quarter barrel was
his contribution. Domnick Riona put
a quarter barrel and a box OF bottles
in the pot, finishing the work in Iron
River
Mrs. Marcand OF Caspian, was the
first on the list in that place, and
she wasn't particularly animated over
the visit because Deputy Chard in
sisted upon opening her bed room door
which she had securely locked. She
must have thrown the key in the well
for none could be found about the
premises, so Mr. Chard resorted TO
handy sekleton key which did the
business. A 10-gallon keg of brandy
cached under the bed was the reason
that Mrs. Marchand refused to oper
the door. A full cask of beer and I
half cask was also found in this place
John Spoches, who lives in the vii
lage OF Stambaugh was the next SPOKE
in the wheel of adventure for the of
ficers that day. John only hau cas'
OF beer to contribute. out Peter Zuca
made up by contributing two quarter
barrels of the amber fluid.
The entire haul was shipped t
Crystal Falls via the evening passen
ger over the Milwaukee road.
Adolph Sutter was on hand whei
the train arrived and the load taxet

BIG DELEGATION
TO co next Time
ONE HUNDRED THIRTY SIX RE-
CRUITS DRAWN TO FILL QUOTA
THE TIME NOT YET SET
Advices Say That the Boys Will 60
Between May Is and June 1st.
And All Will Go South

County Clerk Wall has been busy all
week compiling the list OF recruits
who will leave here next time to I'LL
the quota asked for Iron county. A
total of 166 has been drawn, 1876 reg
ular list and forty alternates to be
present and take the place of any reg
ular who fails TO show up.
This quota OF 1856 is the fourth larg-
est required from any Of the penin
sula counties Houghton leads with
Gogeblc second, Marquette third and
Iron fourth. The number asked from
this county Is exceptionally large and
out of proportion to that from other
counties of the size OF Iron. II is
thought that agricultural necessity Is
causing the authorities to draw heav-
ier upon the counties that are not
agricultural just now, the differences
to be made up later when the crops
are all harvested.

Voted Unanimously to Organize.

At the conclusion of the reading of
the resolution a motion was made and
seconded that the precincts OF Iron
county represented adopt the central
relief plan. This motion was unani-
mously adopted by rising vote.

OF ID. NJ Ross the matter was left TO
the war board, or that portion OF it
which represents the precincts men
toned.

lief plan was taken up in Crystal

The officers and directors named
above were selected TO serve the Up-
per Peninsula Development bureau
for the current year at the annual
meeting held at the city hall yester-
day afternoon, and a decision was
reached that IL is feasible to raise tho
$4,000 necessary to carry on the work
OF the bureau 10 the close of the year,
so there Is assurance that the sheep
grazing project will not be dropped as
the time is getting ripe, but will
be carried on with the necessary yigor
during the summer months.
The meeting was not as large as it
should have been, In the light OF the
aggressive management the bureau
has been given the past two years
and the Importance OF the projects 1t
now has on hand but deficiency In
numbers was measurably made up for
present when II was asked what they
proposed TO do to see that the work of
the bureau was supported. A tele-
gram from j. NJ. Longyear was read
pledging $500 to the necessary fund
Benjamin Gero, OF Schoolcraft an
nounced that he would become person.
ally responsible for raising 10 per
cent of the required $4,000 in his
county. Roger NJ. Andrews recon-
mended a detailed report OF the bu-
reau's activities 10 the various boards
of super asserting confidence
that they would sec iit to help further
with the work If they were properly
approached In the light of the evil
dence that tho bureaus money.is be-
ing expended 20 good purposes.
The demand for the continuance of
the work was so pronounced that the
intereset and willingness TO cooper
ate In raising the required money was
so evident ho question: Shall
the burden conLAue?' was settled out
OF hand in the affirmative.
