DOG SAVES A WOMAN'S LIFE

brown cur dog which, after she had
been attacked by an unidentified white
man and knocked into pool Of water

The woman who resides beyond the

the man accOsted her. Fearing harm,
she fled, but g was Overtaken near an
excavation filed with water to
depth of nearly two feet. Her as

she fell into the pool. The dog, which

In People And Cattle.

The year 1921 will bring closer co.
operation between the department OF

sion for the purpose of conducting anti
tuberculosis work in the state on a
larger scale than ever before.
The white plague which is still max
ing great inroads in the state despite
efforts over number of years to stamp
it out, is demanding increased attention
from health experts. tuberculosis
among animals and among human be-
ings is so closely related as to require
the united efforts of these two depart.
ments.
If cow contracts tuberculosis il is
the same kind of disease that persons
have. And if the milk from an infected
COW is allowed to be distributed par
ticularly to babies and children, the
danger is very great that those drink
ing the milk may contract the disease.
This is the season that the livestock
commission and the health department
by working together, hope to practical
ly eliminate tuberculosis among cattle
and thus go long way toward remov-
ing one OF the causes for phthisis among
residents of the state.
Chickens throughout Michigan are
also quite generally affected with tub
erculosis, officials state, but they have
decided that the birds can wait until
the disease among people of the state
and the cattle, is further checked.
1t is stated at the health department
that shipment of shaving brushes be-
lieved to be infected with anthrax has
been sent into Michigan. Several of
the brushes have been secured and a
pig has been infected with a solution
secured from them. 1t is thought that
the pig has anthrax.
In this particular case the disease is
traced to horse hair and when contract
ed by persons the disease often assumes
a malignant form. If the disease is de-
finitely found in these brushes, the full
shipment will be seized and additional
warnings sent out to the state.
State nurses who wrote their eXami-
nations for the degree of registered
nurse, two weeks ago, will not know
the outcome of their tests until after
November 3. That is the date that the
state board of registration will meet to
consider results OF the examination.
More than 200 nurses from many of
the leading hospitals and medical insti-
tutions OF the state took the examina-
ton.

FARMERS TO HOLD
BUSINESS SCHOOLS

A series OF farm accounting schools,
taking up the principles OF business
management in agricultural work, will
be held in the various counties over
the state during the coming winter, ac-
cording to announcement made this
week from the office of farm manage
ment at the Michigan Agricultural Col
lege.
Proper methods of keeping farm re-
cords and account books, including in
ventories of the farm business plant,
will be taught at these schools, so of
which have been planned in about 25
different Michigan counties between
the first OF December and April
Putting the farm on business basis
is the fundamental aim of the account
ing work. Hit-or-miss, uncertain farm
ing has been all too prevalent in the
past, and it is the belief of experts that
properly kept account books, such as
those distributed by M. A. c., will
bring system into the agricultural busi-
ness. Ability to pick out the paying
ends of farming and to locate the weak
spots which bring losses, follows a good
set of farm accounts. They make il
possible to determine the relative pro-
portion OF each farm enterprise on a
profitably managed farm.
"About $500 Farm Account Books
have been sent out by the college this
year., says H. M. Eliot, Farm Manage
ment Demonstration at M. A. c. cover
a thousand of these have been distrib-
uted through the State Grange, while
many have gone out through the Farm
Bureau.
THE purpose of onr accounting
schools will be to start farmers off prop
erly in keeping the account books.
twenty-five men will be lined up for
each school, the county agricultural
agent making arrangements for the To-
cal school,.

Boyne Takes
Baseball Game
Defeats HilIman-Atlanta Team
Sunday By Score OF 6 To |

Boyne City had her biggest and prob
ably her final baseball game of the sea-
son Sunday. when nearly three thousand
people packed Maple Park and witness
ed the defeat of the Hillman-Atlanta
team to /. The visitors chartered a
special train from Alpena and even
standing room was at premium before
Gaylord was reached. Many also came
by automobile. Traverse City, Charlie
voix, Petoskey, East Jordan and Har-
Dor Springs sent crowds of fans to root
for the Boyne City team.
The visitors pitcher worked under
terrible handicap while in the box, suf-
fering from a gun shot wound in the
left knee. He finally was forced to
give way to a substitute.
Saffron and Bradley, regular battery
for the Boyne City amateur team, work
ed well in this game. Brief, Traverse
City, big league player, was on first for
Boyne, and Mccarthy, of Harbor Springs
played short.

Forest Fires
Under Control
Most OF Those In Upper PENN
suIa Are Entirely Extinguished

Forest fires which have recently
burned over ten square miles in On
tonagon and Baraga counties with a
loss of over 100000 will be followed
by arrests and prosecutions, according
to the department of the fire warden at
Lansing.
There has been no loss of life in the
fires this year and so far as is known
only two houses have been destroyed.
For the area burned, the loss is consid-
cred unusually small. High school STU
dents and citizens at Ontonagon turn
ed out and did good work in fighting
the. fire.
Heavy rains in the past few days
have helped to check the fire and all
forest fires in the state are either ex-
tinguished or under full control.
Timber values have increased to
such an extent that it doesn't take
much of fire to run into heavy loss.
The big forest fire about ten years ago
which swept through Oscoda, Mont
morency, and Presque Isle counties
would have cost at least a million dol
lars at present timber estimates.

NEW ORCHID IS PRODUCED
English Grower Proud Of Unique
Bloom, and Values IL
at $4,000.

London.-An English grower named
Armstrong Is proudly enjoying the
credit of having produced a new form
of orchid which is declared to be the
only bloom Of Its kind In the world.
1t is Of the cypripedium species and
is apparently a hybrid offshoot Of
other varieties of orchid grown In the
same conservatory, the process having
been abetted by the growers skill. He
believes he can reproduce and perpetu-
ate the new variety endlessly.
Mr.. Armstrong rears flowers for
the pleasure Of II rather than COM
mercially. He is one Of the many
English lovers Of rare growths In
plants, whose fancy has turned to or
chids and whose experiments with
them have proved a valuable pastime.
Since glass houses became cheap and
modern methods of heating suitable
for orchid cultivation, the flower has
been grown In many private houses
and the display In the chief floral
exhibitions In London and the prov
inces has become largely Of nom
professional origin.
Mr.. Armstrong has named this new
specimen the "Florence Spencer" He
values 1t at $1,000. Smaller hybrid
blooms. which he has grown, have
an estimated collective value Of
$4,000.
