to raise single crop On each plot Of
land ut their disposal, but it is quite
possible to grow two or three crops
of some vegetables In one season.
A primary consideration in arrang-
ing the garden is the kind of cultiva-
tion To be employed. Where the work
is to he done mainly by means OF
horse-drawn tools the arrangement
should be such as to give the longest
possible rows and n straight outline
should be followed. The garden
should be free from paths across the
rows and turning spaces should be
provided ut the ends. For hand cul-
tivation (the u1thod that probably
will be used by most home gardeners)
the arrangement can be quite differ
cnt, us the garden may be laid out in
sections with transverse walks and
the rows can lie much closer for most
crops.
Remember Early Vegetables.
1t is also important to consider the
location of permanent crops such ms
asparagus and rhubarb, If any Of the
small fruits such as rnspbcrries, cur
rants and gooseberries are to be
planted within the garden inclosure
they should be included with the per-
manent crops. The location and area
for the hotbed, cold-frame or seedbed
should be decided upon, although
these may be shifted to some convcn-
lent place outside the garden.
Where there is great variety In the
/ ,f In liffnrant
parts of the garden II will he udvis-
able to note this when arranging for
the location of the various crops.
Such crops as celery, onions and late
cabbage should be planted in land
that is not too low and moist If part
of the soil is high. warm and dry, that
| is the proper location for early crops
and those that need II quick, warm
soil.
Points to Consider.
| Remember these points in planning
| your garden:
A gentle slope toward the south or
southeast is most desirable for the
| production of early crops. 1t Is an
advantage to have protection on the
north and northeast by either IL hill
Il group of trees or hedge, buildings
n tight board fence or stone wall
| to break the force of the wind.
The land should have sutlicien,
drainage for surplus water to run of
during heavy rains, but the fall SHOULD
not be so great that tho soil will be
washed. Fill up holes in which water
will accumulate. Avoid banks of Il
creek or stream liable to overflow.
A good fence around the garden plot
is almost Indispensable 10 keep out
damaging animals.
The garden should he MS near the
kitchen as possible 50 that the worR
of cnring for the crops may be done
Mt odd times and so that the vegeta
bles are quickly available to the
housewife.

SCHOOL ELECTION.

There was very little interest taken
in the school election this year--less
than 100 votes being cast in the en-
tire district. There was no opposition
to the three nominees. Sam Bridges
Herman Holmes and VIM. Poyseor
At the school meeting held at 100
o'clock the money necessary to carry
along the schools for the ensuing
year was voted. The amount to be
raised Is $4,000. Last year the
amount raised was $4,000. but the
district fell $4,000 short in its estim-
ates and II is to make up that deficit
that the extra $4,000 was raised at
this time.

VISITED LOCAL BOARDS.

The "combing out" OF the the de-
ferred classes which had been ordered
some time ago was carried on briskly
here last Monday when Major Peter
son OF Ann Arbor visited the local
board and went over the list OF those
who have been deferred for industrial
reasons.
The major didn't make announce
ment Of his decisions In all cases, but
satisfied himself with simply taking
notes OF all cases where deferred
classification had been made and in
which the registrant might rightfully
be put back In Glass /.
The Iron county list OF Class has
been completely absorbed. the Ill that
will go next week cleaning up the
slate. The recent registrants are left,
but they comprise only a few COM
paratively and another call will wipe
them out also. IL Is thought that
quite a number will be added to
Glass ! as the result OF the recent
visit of Major Peterson.

DRYs TO ASK INJUNCTION.
Seek Aid Of Court I'm Preventing SUBJ
mission Of Amendment

Basing its action upon the claim
that the present is not time to refight
the dry issue, especially when less
than two years ago the question was
apparently settled by majority OF
$4,000 the Michigan Anti-Saloon
league will go into the courts to pre-
vent the so-called beer and wine
amendment to the constitution from
being submitted at the fall election.
Secretary OF State Vaughn wednes-
day accepted the wet" petitions on
advice of Attorney General Groes-
beck, who ruled against the protest
OF the Anti-Saloon league. The
league leaders, arguing that renewal
of the "wet" and dry" fight could far
better be put over until the war is
ended, and that its injection into po-
litical life under present conditions
is actually unpatriotic. will now ask
for an injunction TO prevent the secre-
tary OF state from placing the amend
ment upon the ballot In November,
and from advertising its submission
on the grounds that the amendment
attempts to legislate. while passing
as constitutional amendment.
The provision of the amendment,
which permit and fix the amount OF,
saloon licenses, divide the fees be-
tween political units and appropriate
a percentage of the fees for road
building purposes, are claimed by the
"drys" TO be purely legislative In
character and therefore "unconstitu-
tional in constitutional amendment"
They argue that an amendment should
be restricted to its basic limitation OF
permitting the licensing OF the beer
and wine trade.
The "drys" further take the posi-
ton that. win or lose they will have
cleared themselves in the eyes of the
state OF any charge that they had a
hand in precipitating political strug-
gle in war time.

FULL STORY OF
BEET FIELD BOYS
Mr.. MASON PUBLISHES COMPLETE
STATEMENT REGARDING MATTER
INSIST UPON INVESTIGATION
Those Who Labored to Help the
Beet Growers Did So For Patri-
otic Reasons and None Other

The experiment OF sending boys
from Iron county to the beet fields
of lower Michigan hasn't worked out
well. II has cost the boys and their
parents money and those who worked
hard TO help provide labor for the
beet fields because they thought 1t
patriotic duty much embarrassment
and worry.
The chances are that there is fault
on both sides. Mr.. Mason has asked
the governor to investigate, and will
insist that the investigation be made.
In the meantime, here are the facts:
So much has been said about the
experience of Iron county people in
connection with the Boys Working
Reserve that II seems advisable to
give some facts concerning the con-
ditions under which the boys left
here and their experience in camp as
reported to Us by their supervisor. Mr.
f. III. Fisher, for two years a teacher
in the schools OF Stambaugh town
ship, and by some OF the boys them
selves.
Early this spring the President in
a proclamation to the people of the
United States made this statement:
Let me express the hope that young
men OF 16 years of age and over. not
now permanently employed, and es
pecially the boys in our high schools.
may eagerly enter the Boys Working
Reserve In order that they may have
the privilege OF spending their spare
time in productive enterprise which
will certainly increase the means OF
providing for the forces at the front
and the maintenance of those whose
services are needed at home"
Mr.. Chas A. PARCELS OF Detroit,
was designated as director OF the Boys
Working Reserve for Michigan, and
Mr. Mason was asked to recruit boys
for the reserve In this county, and
especially through the high schools.
The superintendents of the schools
were also asked from headquarters to
lend every possible assistance in this
work.
Toward the end of May urgent calls
came to Iron county from the state
director for boys to work In the beet
fields Of Southern Michigan. The
question OF wages for the boys was
raised and the state director replied
that the work was on a contract basis,
the price for work being about $22
per acre, and, upon being pressed for
more definite information the state
director sent out the following tele-
gram:
Communication between the County
School Commissioner Office and that
OF the state director and the super
visor in camp were in substance as

OVER ONE THOUSAND MORE.
Upper PeSinsula VIII Send a Large
Number TO Camp This Month.

Clerk Vail OF the local board In
forms us that he expects the order for
entrainment OF the next bunch OF re-
cruits will specify some date between
July "a and July 27, but to date no
specific date has been named.
There will be a total Of 1,l47 men
included In the call from the upper
peninsula. Houghton county will send
out the greatest number with Chippe-
wa second, and Iron third.
Reports from draft boards through
out Cloverland are to the effect that
nearly all the Glass l men, subject to
general military service, will be ex-
hausted In the July call. The boards
have been instructed to call in the
men in Glass / granted deferred class
iication on agricultural grounds in
the event that they have not enough
men 10 fill the July quota. The new
registrants must be ready for call in
August, so it will be impossible for
the draft boards to accept any men
from the 1918 class before they are
authorized so to do by the war depart
ment.
Following are the quotas of the up.

summons:

BIG TEMPERANCE MEETING.
Finnish Temperance Societies Well
Represented In Annual Convention.

hcprcsehteu In Annuhi convention.
There is very fair representation
OF delegates present at the convention
OF the Finnish Temperance society OF
the upper peninsula which is being
held here this week. The real repre-
sentation Is not In the delegates which
number about twenty-five, but IN the
large number of visitors. members of
different societies In the peninsula
that are arriving daily and who will
stay here until after the big picnic on
Sunday
The list of delegates follows: Esa
Torkko. Soudan, Mimi; Mike Skytta,
Ishpeming; Miss V. Tiura. Ishpeming;
N. Teppo, Wakefield; Mr.. Manner,

The session of the convention COM
menced on Wednesday afternoon in
the temperance hall. Immediately
there was brought TO the front the
question of loyalty, and every member
of the convention Is anxious to do ev-
erything possible to put the organiza-
ton on record as loyal American or
ganlzation. Owing to certain ele-
ment OF the Films opposing the war
and the draft last year there has gone
out the impression that the Finnish
people in general are disloyal. What
the better element OF this nationality
want to do is to counteract that i'm
preston and place the unquestioned
loyalty OF the large majority OF the
Finnish people before the American
people. One OF the most enthusiastic
and loyal Firms Is Frank Mattson OF
Eleveth, Minn. Mr.. Matson Is espec-
tally active at this Session, although
not delegate. He is a speaker and
never misses an opportunity to drive
home to his people the necessity for
being 100 per cent Americans. The
officers chosen are:
Chairman-Esta Torkko, Soudan,
Minnesota.
Vice Chairman-Mike Skytta, Ish-
peming. Michigan.
Secretary-Miss V. Tiura, Ishpem-
ing, Michigan.
Directors-N. Teppo, Wakefield; M,
Manner. Hancock.
The place for holding the next meet
ing Will be decided upon today.
Tomorrow at the Forest park there
will be picnic to which people OF
all nationalities are invited, There
will be speaking and athletic events
to take up the attention all during
the day.
Tonight at the city hall there will
be a concert at the city hall at which
some OF the best Finnish singers o
the Northwest will take part. There
will be some special music by mixed
quartette, male quartette and fe-
male quartette. An admission fee
will be charged to this event.
