We are a peculiar lot OF reformers
zfter all. After knocking the living
daylights out OF the light wine and
beer gag we are advised by no less
an authority than the Michigan Drug
and Food Monthly that several OF our
best known family remedies are iiber-
ally tinctr-ed with old bulge. For
example the beer OF the ancients con-
tanned a bare four and half percent
Of alcohol. while our sweet old friend
"Liddy" Pinkham puts fifteen percent
alcohol In her tonic. The real kick,
however. Is 10 be had In Hostetters
Bitters. which Is only one-Quarfer al
cohol. There Is comfortable shot
In the arm in "Ole John" Tanlac, or
by way OF comparison. four times
more alcohol stimulant is TO be had in
Tanlac than In the beer We have just
kicked down the back stairs. For the
personal information OF few con-
genial spirits who occasionally COM
plain about the new order OF things
we cheerfully submit the appended
ray OF light with the suggestion you
paste the list, showing these alcoholic
comparisons. on the inside cover OF
the medicine cabinet; then in your
dellrium or distress. or both. you can
personally select your medicine
with some degree OF intelligence and
scientific accuracy. We would fur
Their suggest you get full set OF
these family" medicines so you can
run the gamut from Swamp Root TO

something to relieve your ailment, un-
less, Of course, you die before the doc

The girls OF the sewing clubs OF
Iron county have moth only been do
ing creditable work with the needle
but they have also been doing excel
lent literary work. Each girl Is re-
quired to write story OF the club TO
which she belongs and its work.
Some OF these papers are excellent
in composition and description and
we have asked that the teachers hand
such in for publication. They will
appear one or two each week In this
space until all have been published.
Sewing.
will never forget my Joy, when
one day Miss Bennett stepped in and
said that we girls were going to have
sewing. The first thing. We we're re-
quired to make was nightgown.
We bought long cloth. Some of the
girls were fooled because IL wasn't
long cloth at all, that they had pur-
chased. But we used 1t just the
same. The next thing we did was TO
draft pattern and then cut II out.
Then after basting the sides We made
our French seams. l never heard or
that kind OF seam before. but
know now how useful 1t is, Tor al
ways use II, when possible The
feather stitch seemed hard for as at
first, but became easy after and real
ly looked pretty
We then began to sew our petit
coats When we cut them into five
parts was thinking how foolish 1t
was. but now I know how muc--
have learned from 1t. Our embroid-
cry was also hard to put on. but when
l make the next one, how much easier
1t will be done.
The making OF my apron was the
thing | mostly enjoyed, for being cut
similar to our nightgowns, we now
know how much better to go at II. Be-
sides our sewing work we had part
les. at which we sure had a good
time. do hope we will take sewing
again next semester.

CHANCE"
That question came to us during
an automobile trip which party OF
Crystal Fails men, all OF them very
much interested in the success OF the
sheep herding venture, made from
Crystal Falls to Newberry last week.
1t was suggested because the two
sheep ranches that we passed on the
way had been established on the poor
est tracts OF land we met with.
The first ranch we passed was at
Spread Eagle where extensive prepar-
atoms have been made in the way Of
barns, fences. cleared land, etc. To
our way OF looking at 1t the land Sc
iected for this sheep venture is about
as poor a tract as exists in this vi
cinity. BY poor. we mean. poor soil
for growing grasses which. according
60 our notion, is necessary TO be
grown In order to make good sheep
pasture. We have in mind thousands
OF acres Of clover land that will grow
more grass upon one acre than will
grow upon a forty acre tract of the
land about Spread Eagle.
The second sheep ranch" we pass
"A was on the plains between Garden
and Manistiqne. II there Is any diff
erence between the lands of the lat
ter ranch" and those OF the first
mentioned ii is IN geometrical ratio
downward. All over Schoolcraft and
Delta counties there are tracts OF land
that will double discount the plains
for pasture. yet the poorest OF these
tracts are chosen for the experiment.
Tie redeewipe feature % the Manis-
tiqua venture is that there are no
permanent improvements at least
none are In sight-not yet
We are not knocking" these ven
lures. for we will be very glad to
see them turn out to be winners
However II sheep ranch on the
Spread Eagle plains or the Manisti-
que-Garden plains is success, how
much more OF success would be
ranch in such tract as that along
the Deer river in this county and
many many other localities in every
other county In the peninsula?
II ranchman had to defend big
stake he would certainly select the
fieeiest. toughest. best trained and
most dependable steed In his stable.
One would certainly question the san
ity OF the man who would pass over
the blooded tfotters and select q
jackass 70 make the defense.
So. one Is tustified in questioning the
wisdom Of passing up our high grade
lands for sand plains In a demonstra-
tion OF cloyerland as ranching posA
sibiIity. We remember what bump
Cloyerland got from the exploitation
OF the Seney marsh some years ago
and would hate TO see a repetition OF |
that experience.
Now, this upper peninsula is on
trial as a sheep and cattle country
Upon the success or failure Of the
ventures Of this year Will depend
very much the outcome OF the cam
paign to promote the industry. SO.
II seems to us that tho very best OF
our lands should have been selected
rather than the poorest for the FIRST
ventures.
Perhaps there Is something about
these sand plain lands In connection
with sheep raising that we don't know
about and which will explain why
such lands are selected and the moro
productive passed M Perhaps there
IL. That Ia why we ask tho question
"Ts cloverland getting a fair chance |
70 demonstrate her worth In this
sheep herdinr mntsor7"
