A Little Thing
that happened
the other day
at Perry's
shows how the
wind blows!
VI A mother and her
son, a young fellow
about 10, were here a
couple of days ago buy
ing a new Spring Suit
for the boy. She was a
practical woman, ex-
perlenced in qualities
and fabrics, as most
women are.
" After they had made
their selection, she took
up the coat of a blue
flannel Suit in her hand,
examined it with deft,
knowing fingers and
eyes, and then said to
the salesman who was
serving them
"DO you knOW, lue
tUere at tIUO or three
stores before ye came
here, and I Uant to
tell you that at So
and-So's they hare
suits of this identical
quality at seUen dol
lars more than your
price for this 0ne!"
" We need add nothing
to her testimony, save
that it's a pleasure to
have disinterested par
ties acknowledge for us
the results we have
achieved in giving our
friends notable values
days like these.

NEW LAW A FAILURE.

So far the law passed by the last
legislature licensing auto drivers is a
farce. II has brought into the state
treasury few thousand dollars, has
made sSsne extra Jobs and has cost
drivers about dollar each. but IL
hasn't checked one iota the reckless
drivers from handling cars.
The fault is not with the law. but
in the way it is administered. The Sc
curing OF license is a mere formali-
ty. Anyone can get license who has
the price and takes the trouble TO 90
10 the police officers for their endorse
ment,
Imagine a sheriff turning down an
applicant for drivers license, es-
peciaIly II that sheriff has any future
political ambitions. Even when such
rank samples OF driving as was pulled
on al the odgers crossing and which
* described IN our news columns oc'
ours. no effort is made to have th'
drivers license annulled
The drivers license law means wei
bnt II is sad misht as a, present
administered.

one q the Delta county papers
published ilare-headed article last
week saying that Delta county is
a,st In road construction work In
she upper peninsula. Delta certainly
has made fine progress in road con-
structioL but when one sets out TO
find the county that Is first he must
consider mere than the mere mileage.
He must take into consideration the
resources back Of the mileage.
we have travelled upon the roads OF
every county in the upper peninsula
and most of the lower peninsula as
well and Il is our opinion that Luce
county is the first in the state. GER
tainly the first in the peninsula. in
road construction work Luce coun-
~ has done more and done IL better
than any other upper peninsula ,ccun-
az in proportion to It's means. II Is a
small county with few farms and
some timber lands. Newberry is prac-
tically ali that there Is 10 Luce coun-
~ IN the population line. II has a
charcoal furnace and a flooring plant.
The rest OF the resources are, as we
have stated. timber lands, cut-oyer
lands and farms. the latter mostly in
their development state. Yet, i has
huilt macadam. road practically the
entire distance across It's domain
Where the macadam has not been laid
the roadbed is graded up well and
makes excellent going. It has stone
road connections between all OF its
important places and in maintenance
ii ranks Al.
One OF sse secrets for the success
of Luce county IN It's road work Is
that /, has real road builder as an
engineer. lie knows how a road
Ought 10 he built and maintained, and
with the small amount OF money at his
disposal he has done remarkably vel
in his work in Luce county.
Counties with lots OF money a
their disposal can build lots OF roads
It's the small fellow who builds on
OF proportion TO his resources tha
must get the hand when applause
being distributed. and Luce county
share ought To be the biggest.

So much wailing Is heard upon all
sides about the potato crop that we
ara influenced 70 advise our readers
,hat much OF the talk about large
shortage in potatoes is bunk The
state report OF September ist' in
dlcated that Michigan's crop will be
lust about half million bushels short
OF last years crop.
The report shows that last year
Michigan produced 2S.5so.o0o bushels
OF potatoes. The indications are thar
this years crop will total 2S.os2.ooo
So those who are talking three and
four dollar potatoes are away on In
dications now are that potatoes will
rule somewhere between 81 and sl.5c
per bushel.
The only the sections OF the state
hard hit in the potato crop line ars
the upper peninsula, Montcalm coun-
~ and some OF the very southern
counties Not all Of the upper PENN
sula suffered severely. The eastern
section did. but the late potatoes II
the western end are coming alonG
better than expected because OF the
recent rains.
The indications on the hay crop thi
year is that Michigan win produc
close TO 100000 tons more hay thi
year than last which was fair ha,
year. The indications are that ha
! will not be much higher than tn
Ggure now being quoted; that a dro

facts are known. Hay will. howeyel
rule much higher than in the year
before the war.

We had the opportunity this week
Of wishing the site OF former For'
Howard. wisconsin. now part OF
Green Bey. Wisconsin. The G. a \.
W. depot Is built almost on the site OF
the old stockade. but there is nothing
20 mark The site except a Flagstaff
Which has been erected there,
A huge boulder Is placed at the side
OF the street near the depot with a
bronze tablet picturing the stockade
aud buildings, and shows them TO have
been OF ,he same class as the build
ings su.l standing at Fort wilkins,
this county
The tablet was Placed there BY the
Gresn Bay Historical Society IN 1903,
ana states United States troops occn-
pied the tort from 1916 until 1852.
The original fort, called Fort 81
Francis. was built by the French IN
IT'S, and rebuilt by the British in
1861 as Fort Edward Agustus,
The place possess an interest pc
culiar for one interested in matters
historical In this region, for the rea-
son that in the ffties land grant
was given TO construct a Military
road from there to Fort wilkins, near
Copper Harbor.
The scheme seems to have been bui
an effort to grab on some OF the do
main OF our Uncle Samuel, for the
work between Eagle River and Cap
per Harbor was still going on in the
seventies, or at time when both
forts were deserted by our soldiers
AT the best, 1t was a miserable
makeshift OF a road, impossible by
anything except perhaps flying ma
Schine.
Even today, with the gret improve
ments In the roads. It takes one abou
fourteen hours riding 10 make the "a
miles from there TO Mohawk.
II any troops had been left at For
Howard. and they were called to For
wilkins. 1t would have taken then
weeks TO make the trip.
The people we spoke to OF the mat
ter at Green Bay, all express regre
that some OF the old buildings wer
not preserved and kept up, and sa
that we should at once take steps I
preserve what Is left OF Fort wilkins
, so that we will not feel the regre
that they do.

OF the misnamed military roads late
