board puts the proceeds In the fund
for the dependents OF the Michigan
men now in the army and the navy.
While the government makes an al
lotment for these dependents, 1t of.
ten proves insufficient and the state
makes up the balance necessary
The pictures. which are shown in
Crystal Falls at the Uno Theater on
May 30th and 31st, cover almost ev-
cry possible range OF activity both Oh

engineers and the infantry are shown
in cantonments, drills and at play

LAKE SUPERIOR.

Oh, glorious waters. and your waves
unknown,
Have washed your shores, and on
the rocks do foam;
Thy image on my mind engraved,
OF the times gone by,
or the times gone by, when on thy
shores | played.
Long, long ago, when white man dared
not sail,
On conquest bent, for he knew he'd
fail;
The Indian boy came on your shores
to play,
He saw his playhouse washed away.
Oh, mighty are thy waves When thou
art mad
Calm, smooth and beautiful, when
you're sad;
And many ships have sunk, and need
not sail no more;
When the tempest roared, and you
in anger groaned
Oh, Lake Superior, greatest OF our in
land lakes,
Enchantress are you, for you keep
me still awake;
And may your name sound through
| every land
Lake Superior; OH thy name is
grand.

ton TO the Second War Fund Drive

suffering caused by disaster In Amer
lea.
The great virtue of mercy which
elevates mankind to higher plane
and has been SO beautifully exempli-
fed by our great society is the one
bright cross OF service which for al
future time Will shine brilliantly
through the terrible gloom that has
marked the world as the darkest per-
iod in its history With the excep-
ton OF actually enlisting in active
service for your government, the
greatest demonstration of your pa
triotism and. loyalty is your general
contribution to the War Fund, thus
adding to the radiance and lustre OF
the great Red Cross.
Never before has the opportunity
been given. our people to respond "a
humanity's call in a manner that will
be so far reaching in its results, and
while II may be said with credit tC
our state that on all previous oppor-
tunities we have responded generous.
ly, there is an additional imperative
reason for action.
At this fated hour. many OF Michi
gan's sturdy sons, are carrying the
banner OF Liberty In foreign lands and
beside them marches the spirit oi
your contribution to the American
Red Cross to aid, comfort, and 4
necessary, to assist them in dire need

NEW FUEL ORDER.

Lansing. Mich. May Ia, 1918.
The United States Fuel Administra-
tion has decided that. in connection
with the orders curtailng consump-
tion of fuel, the manufactures and
producers OF the various commodities
may be at liberty to burn wood in ex-
cess of the fuel permitted by the or
der where this wood does not require
railroad transportation.
This last condition is essential and
permission should not be granted any
manufacturer unless the wood to used
Is procurable by other means.
We lfsire, therefore, to grant any
state pdei administrator authority to
extend such permission but must ask
that they make themselves RESPONSE
BILE to police these cases. We shall
refer such inquiries to the state fuel
administrator with a statement that
he has the power to authorize the use
OF wood.
There are two points which we de-
sire 10 emphasize:
1. That this permission applies to
wood which can be brought in with
out the use OF railroad transportation
2. That the state administrator Is
held responsible to police these cases
snd see that they do not burn more
than their proportion Of other fuel.
3. The state fuel administrator
will expect county chahmen to see
that the above provisions IRE carried
out in their counties.

Upper Penlnsula's Attractions TO Mot
Orists Pointed Out.

The beauties OF Cloverland and its
unsurpassed motor roads which have
been constructed in the past few
years are extolled In the article in
t., Detroit Journal. The attractions
II holds for automobile tourists are
pointed out and a picturesque tour is
outlined starting from Menominee
and passing through Iron Mountain.
Iron River. Crystal Falls. Ironwood.
Bessemer, Ontonagon, and Copper
Country. Baraga, Ishpeming, Negau-
nee, Marquette. Munising, Escanaba,
Manistique, Newberry and Sault Ste.
Marie. The article in part reads:
"Cloverland-the Upper Peninsula
OF Michigan-is expecting and pre-
pairing for the greatest influx OF mo-
torists that that country has ever
seen.
"CloveTlanders hold that while the
number of tourists in general is go
ing to be materially cut down, yet
the average business man who drives
cat viii take at least two weeks or
a months vacation. This is human
nature and will not be overcome, war
or no war. Since the usual method OF
taking vacations" In these modern
times Is via the automobile route, the
Upper Michigan people assert that
touring will be a favorite form of re-
creation in 1918.
II is only natural that the motor
lists OF 1918 will be like the ones in
former years and will look for reg
ion which possesses good roads, COM
Portable climate and new scenery.
This upper peninsula region only
a few years ago was known for two
things --iron and copper mining and
numbering. No one ever thought OF
driving there for a motor trip, And
yet during last summer there were
between 10000 and $4,000 motorists
riding through that country under
gasoline power.
"The secret of this growth is thru
, the organization work of the Clover
landers. The business men in that
region realized that they had advan-
tages lying dormant which were we'll
worth investigation. Hence they or
, ganlzed Under one head-the Upper
Peninsula Development bureau and
opened up campaigns along different
lines.
1.-THE excellent roads led TO the idea
that IL the middle western autoists
idea about them they would drive
through Cloverland. The business
men were broad enough TO see that a
large number OF tourists meant mon
ey to the country.
Gradually the Cloverland road
builders have connected up missing
links" until today there are 1000
miles OF macadam or hard dirt roads
which make touring pleasure. The
foundations OF these highways were
laid by miners and lumbermen in the
early days when much of their prod
uct was hauled to lake ports by wa
CONS. These heavy loads necessitat-
ed good roads, and today while the
ore and lumber travels entirely by
rail the farmers and tourists are
reaping the benefit Of the pioneers
work"

Lasky Eliminates
 AU Morbid Motion
 Pictures in Future.

Jesse L. Lasky, vice president of the Famous Players-Lasky Corpor- ation in charge of productions, last week issued statement which will materially affect the future produc- ing activities of that organization, After a thorough canvass of both trade and public, MT. Lasky an nounces that his company will here after eliminate from it's productions all photodramatic offerings of mor- bid, depressing or tragic character, as well as those concerned with re- ligious problems, fairy tales, COS tune plays, allegories, etc, during the course of the war. Subjects that will help cheer the nation will be selected for film presentation only.
 MT. Lasky's, statement follows in part
 'At such a time it is obvious that the duty of those engaged in manu- featuring motion pictures or pro ducing stage plays is to inculcate the spirit of cheerfulness, striving invariably to lift the thought of the people above their troubles, or by the tone of the entertainment offer ed, to relieve their minds if only temporarily from the tragedy now at our very doors.
 "At all times the Famous Play ers-Lasky Corpora tion has been ac- tuated by desire to give the public and the exhibitors the kind of pie lures they demanded and has wei comed advice, suggestions and even censure if merited from finn show men or the patrons of the photo play.
 "From the exhibitors and the public, then, we have received as surance over and over again that cheerful pictures are what are need ed and must be produced. The morbid, tragic or depressing ele- ment in screen entertainment must be eleminated.
 'In addition, we have become con vinced that photoplays dealing With religious subjects, fairy tales, alie- gores, costume plays and the hk' are neither desired nor accepted to day by exhibitors or public.
 "Therefore, the Famous Players Lasky Corporation will hereafter eliminate from it's productions all photodramatic offerings of a morbid depressing or tragic character, as well as those concerned with reilS- ious problems, fairy tales, costume plalys, allegories, etc
 "Wholesome dramas, uplifting Ill character; clean comedies, comedy dramas and plays dealing with the more cheerful aspects of life Will De exclusively chosen for production.
