SCHOOLS and THEA
TRES WERE CLOSED.

The schools and theatres in L'Anse
and Baraga townships were closed
this week in an effort to check the in
fiuenza epedemic which is sweeping
over the country. Although a few
cases have been noted in this vicinity,
the situation is in no way alarming,
the closing measures being taken as a
necessary precaution.
Any person suffering from cold
would do we'll to have it taken care of
at once. Avoid others who have colds
or who are addicted to splitting or
sneezing. If we are to take the word
of those who have been introduced to
the influenza, we would make every
effort to keep the disease away from
US. 1t may be something to brag
about when you get over it, if you do,
brt it's no grand and glorious feeling
while you have it, we can assure you.

COUNTY WILL DOUBLE
LOAN SUBSCRIPTION.

The country at large is entering up
. on the closing period for the Fourth
Liberty Loan subscriptions, with a
steady uphill climb, and if the nation
is to go "over the top" by this evening
and justify the work of our boys cover
there" there will have to be some
steady hustling before the banks close
the day'sbusiness.
Though no definite figures are avail
able as yet on the way the Loan went
in Baraga county, due to the fact that
the drive does not close until this ev-
ening, Chairman Tracy informs us
that Baraga County has again justified
itself as being one hundred per cent
patriotic by doubling it's subscription
quota, which was $4,000. How much
more will be piled on for good meas
ure remains to be seen.
Those in charge of the Loan
throughout the country are urging all
who can possibly afford it to buy
more bonds-if this is not done the
Loan is going to fall short. A tele-
gram to Chairman Tracy from Gov
ernor Sleeper was received Wednes-
day morning, it reading as follows:
"The Secretary of the Treasury has
called my attention to the fact that but
five days remains Of the Fourth Lib
erty Loan campaign and approxi-
mately three and one-half billions of
dollars are to be raised within that
time in our own state. We are in the
neighborhood of fifteen millions be-
hind our quota and we ought to make
strenuous effort to overtake the
shortage this week. Our soldiers in
France have been winning notable VIC
tories and it is for us to back them up
in their many splendid deeds by doing
our part in this fourth loan.
Therefore, /, Albert E. Sleeper,
Governor of Michigan, do issue this,
my proclamation, and call upon all the
people of this state, rich and poor
alike, to make further purchases Of
Liberty Bonds. If you cannot pay
cash outright, buy on the installment
plan, but buy anyway, to the end that
our state may not suffer the odium Of
failing to do her duty by her gallant
soldier boys"

PLAN ON HELP FOR
RETURNED SOLDIERS.

A preliminary survey of every coun-
ty in Cloverland is now being made by
the Department of the Interior thru
the several county clerks in order that
bill may be offered in Congress pro-
viding for governmental assistance to
returning soldiers who may want to
take up agricultural pursuits.
Francis H. Murray of st. Paul has
made hasty trip into Cloverland
seeking general information on cutov-
er lands. He has charge Of gathering
the necessary data for the Depart
ment of the Interior in the cutover re-
gions of Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Cloverland. When his data is COM
pleted it will be sent to Washington
and there Incorporated into plan for
assisting returned soldiers.
Canada has already begun its work
of putting soldiers on unoccupied
lands. The plan is working so well
that the United States hopes to ac-
complish similar, results. Just how
the governmentSwill assist is un-
known. Before the plan is announced
great mass Of information must be
secured.
The questions which every county
clerk must answer are difficult and
any persons having information are
earnestly sought. Cooperation with
the county clerk at once may mean q
great impetus to these counties in the
way of developing the waste lands.
The following information is now
sought: Acreage of unoccupied cut
over lands; of area most suitable for
reforestation of agriculture, for graz.
ing; acreage of agricultural lands
needing drainage, of agricultural
lands drained; proportion of agricul-
tural lands in small holdings, in large

dent Of the village of Baraga, died at

Mr.. Foucault was born in st. Phil
lips, Canada, in August, 1853, and

holdings; prevailing price per acre
for cutover lands; average distance
from railroad stations; highway facil-
tiles, whether good, medium or poor.
Then the county clerk is asked to in
dicate his areas on county map.
1t is said that the government is
seeking this information in every
state and that those having the great
est unoccupied areas will benefit the
most. Cloverland has more than
100000 acres, of which 100000 are
titled and 250,000 used for grazing.
The last acreage will be greatly in
creased as result of the remarkable
success which grazers have made this
year and who were brought in by the
Upper Peninsula DEVELOPMENT Bu-
reau.
