Wooden Leg Tree.

When soldier has leg or an arm
shot away in battle, the loss is likely
to be compensated for by an artificial
limb made from weird-looking tree
that grows in large numbers on the
desert of California.
The wood of the yucca, or Joshua
tree, as it is sometimes called. is ad-
mirably adapted for the purpose. 1t
is very light and tough and can be
easily shaped. On this latter account
It is also widely used for making sur.
geons' splints.
The yucca tree grows without any
water except the spring rains that
come to the desert, and attains 9
height Of from is to 20 feet.

NoLF's COMET, NEW ADDITION
outcIasses All Others, Speeding
Toward Sun at 1,134246 Miles a
Day-Visible Last Spring..

A gigantic comet, outclassing In size
and brilliancy all those seen in mod
ern times, including Halleys, is speed
Ing through the solar system toward
the sun at the approximate rate OF
1,134,246 miles a day. The comet Will
be thing of glory in the northwest
ern sky this coming spring, probably
remaining visible for three months. 1t
will be at It's best In June.
To illustrate the size of this new
member of the solar system, recall the
fact that Halley's comet, which held
the center of the stellar stage in 1911,
was seen through the great telescopes
eight months before perihelion, which
is a planets closest approach to the
sun. The new comet was seen IA
months before perihelion-or six
months earlier than Halley's was seen
or sought for.
This comet projected itself without
the aid of q publicity agent. 1t ap'
peared on the Photographic Plate OF
the end of Prof. Max VOLTS telescope
at Heidelberg ore evening in April
1916. Doctor Wolf thought it new
asteroid and was about to add 1t to
the large collection of these small
planets already listed among the astro
nomical exhibits, but second ant
/ third observation showed the strange
to be an eccentric actor-a member
of the cometary school and OF enor
nous size. 1t was then something lik'
4S3, 100000 miles distant. Doctor VOL

SATURDAY. JUNE %, 1918.

A most interesting and important
meeting will be held at the L'Anse
Town Hall next Thursday evening at
eight o'clock. Though it has been ad-
vertised as Farmers Institute, be-
cause under the auspices of the
Grange, the subjects discussed will
not be limited to the interest Of the
Changers.
Just now there is not another
speaker in Michigan who is in greater
demand than State Grange Master
John c.. Ketcham. he is not a
stranger to Baraga county audiences,
having spoken at former Pomona
Grange sessions. His stirring mes
sage will be of interest to everyone.
Mrs. Dora Stockman, Lecturer of
the Michigan State Grange, has few
equals in Michigan among women
who address the public upon any sub
ject. Those who heard her in
L'Anse when she spoke on a previous
occasion will welcome the opportunity
to hear her again. Her subject,
Feeding Our Families" is most
timely, and the perplexed housewife
can look for much needed help in
these trying times. After her talk
she will present the plea for a"Wheat-
less Month as urged by the Food Adj
ministration. Recipes for wheatless
yeast breads will be distributed.
Another speaker who will be pres
ent at the Institute is w. F. Taylor,
who promises to do his best" His
friends will want to hear him again,
for he is always worth while.
Next Friday, at the Baraga Grange
Hall, an afternoon and evening SEES
sion Of the Institute will be held with
the same speakers. This will be fol-
lowed by one Of the delightful Grange
dances.
Pomona Grange will hold session
in the forenoon at Baraga. The other
meetings will be open to the public
for whom the program were ar
ranged

Dear Mother:-
This is Mothers Day and ! am go
ing to write nice long letter to you.
Well, mother, went to church
this morning and received. The
priest gave US nice long talk and
told us all to write home to our moth
ers. / was going to write to you
anyway.
Well, mother, this is an awful pref
ty country,and the French soldiers are
so nice to us. We see lot of them
every day.
We were to church last Sunday.
The church is full of bullet holes
which were made by the Germans.
They sure must have been a mean
bunch Of men.
Gerald is not with us just now but
expect. to see him in day drJtwo.
He has been away to signal school.
have not got letter from you for
over week, but suppose that is on
account of the boats being delayed
some place or other.
/ heard that Joe Bushey was dead
Well that is too bad. We must all go
some day, however, and if it is over
here it will be over here, but let us
hope we go back.
/ got all the candy that was sent
and it sure was good. 1t made me
think of home. A person can't get
anything over here but dates and nuts
and one soon gets tired of that.
| have not got much more news to
write, but will write soon again, We
are all well, so don't worry about us
With best wishes.
Lovingly,

Dear Mother:-
Well, mother, today is Mothers
Day." and as all mothers should be
remembered and especially thought of
on this day, think that the only way
l can show my thoughtfullness is by
writing to you. This letter, like all
other letters marked Mothers Mail"
receives first consideration by the
'censors.
The weather is fine just now and it
certainly does feel good to be in a
nice warm country again. | expect
10 20 and visit a monastery this after
noon that has slab stones on it dated
100 A. d.
The days seem to pass more swift
ly over here than they do in the
states. l suppose that is because
there are so many new and strange
things to be seen, which it would
take a book to write all about in.
j will have to close now, hoping
that this finds you as well as we all
are.
Your loving son,
Gerald
