SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON,
Waiting Awhile.

Waiting Awhile.
When the farmer plants the seed
In honest, thrifty style,
To patience he must then give heed.
He has to wait awhile.
He knows the autumn will display
Results that bid him smile,
But he must labor day by day.
He has to wait awhile.
And they who struggle to secure
This world from ways Of guile
Know that the Great Success is sure
But they must wait awhile.

STATE POLICE PROVE THAT
"MOONSHlNE" IS DANGEROUS
ANALYSIS SHOWS whisky MADE
BY AMATEUR DIsTILLERS is
! LIKELY 70 CAUSE DEATH.

One thing which the activities OF
the yigilant troopers of Michigan State
Police have demonstrated beyond a
doubt is that self-poisoning is a lux
ury in this State. Analyses of the
potent spirits seized in many raids
prove indisputably that the great ma
jority of the "moonshine' whisky made
and sold in Michigan is highly poison
Gus. And yet its vendors obtain for
this vile and deleterious concoction
luxury prices.
In raiding moonshiners and destroy
ing Illicit stills, the State Police have
not only enforced the law as to pro-
hibition, but they have enforced that
against murder.
Blindness. insanity, death-these are
some of the things which come in
the wake of drinking the stuff which
money-eager men distill In secret
places to sell to the credulous and
the foolish. Ignorant Of the chemical
reactions of spirits and metals, these
moonshiners risk the penalties of pris-
on in order to produce liquors so vile
that 1t seems strange that they can
find victims to buy them.
No matter what the sympathy oil
the individual may be with regard to
the prohibition laws, there can be no
difference of opinion as to the need
of some force to ferret out the makers
of these criminal and crime-producing
beverages. The findings OF the chem
lists show that most of the moonshln-
ers are potential murderers. whether
they know 1t or not.
The service of the State Police In
this respect is lifesaving service,
even though 1t may win curses instead
of credit from the persons whose
health and even lives would be periled

SAYS REINDEER
 HERDS REDUCE COST OF MEAT

Dr. E. w. Nelson, chief of the biological survey, U. s. department of agriculture, with headquarters in Washington is visiting Cordova on an inspection trip through Alaska in connection with the federal work un- der his administration. This includes the laws and regulations for the pro- lection of the land fur bearing ani- ma1s of Alaska and those protecting the migration of wild fowl such as ducks and geese under a treaty with Great Britain to prevent the exter- imitation of valuable birds in the Uni ted States and Canada.
 One of the most important objects of Dr. Nelson's visit to Alaska is for the purpose of establishing at Una lakleet reindeer experimental sta tion for the purpose of helping devel- op this promising industry. The ex- perimental station and laboratory we'll equipped with modern appliances for study of the diseases and parasites of reindeer and for careful investiga- ton of the grazing problem which must be solved in order to work out plans for grazing allotments for the herds under different ownership. The heards are already so numerous on the Seward peninsula that the earliest
 
 is needed. Twenty-eight years ago the first reindeer were brought from Siberia and total of only 1280 were introduced during the following ten years. The descendants of this small introduction now number somewhere from 150,000 to 100000 animals. With the tttention of the government now plans to give the industry even the extraordinary results already obtained may be excelled
 There will be plenty of reindeer meat available, in the course of very short time, to supply all the re- quirements of Alaskans in the meat line, in the opinion of Dr. E. W. Nel- son, who pointed out that the natural increase in the number of reindeer has been sufficient to encourage the belief that the future meat supply of the territory is assured. There are in the territory at the present time 2O0,- 900 reindeer, in addition to which 100,- 900 have been killed What the in- crease will be during the next 20
