Favorite Sites for paper
Towns" Along Great Lakes
Were at Mouths of Rivers

Sites of lake cities located" in the
days of wild speculation, before the
panic of 1897, were scattered here and
there along the shore of Lake Michi-
gan and Lake Huron. Promoters, en-
couraged by the sale of lots, would
spend a little money in making a small
clearing, often many miles from the
nearest actual settler, would mark out
some streets and put up, In the midst
of burned stumps, a hotel and a bank.
Favorite sites for paper towns" ac-
cording to John Bach McMaster's His
tory of the People of the United
States" were at the mouths of small
streams. The buildings of one such
town, Port Sheldon, were of large
frame construction and well finished
without, but the bank was empty and
the hotel t~enantless.
Port of Havre was another such pa
per town. on Lake Erie, near the
mouth of Maumee Bay. But the site
chosen was low and marshy, and a
score of abandoned cabins were all
that marked its streets. Another was
"White Rock City," believed to be on
the shore of Lake Huron, at the mouth
of a fine river. The maps represented
a fourishing city on a wide river, with
piers running out into a harbor, but
one, coasting on a trip along Lake HUI
ron who stopped to see his city, found
none.

New Chapters Added to Romance

Day by day new chapters are added
to the romance of missing persons; but
least known perhaps are those finished
by an organization, almost worldwide
in scope, that often undertakes quests
given up as hopeless by other agen-
cieS.
This organization is the Department
of Inquiry and Investigation of the
Salvation Army. In the month of
March of this year the department
broke all previous records by finding
thirty-three persons that had been mis-
sing for years.
Increased demands have been made
in the department ver since the end
of the war. During the years of fight

relatives. Since the cessation of hos

of che board Of sanitary commissioners
Mr.. Swift told a Times reporter more
than week ago he would have the state
ment prepared as soon this week as. the
bookkeeper could get caught up with
work that had accumulated while she
was on her vacation.
But today when the same reporter
asked Mr.. Swift when the report would
be ready he received the reply. Il can't
tell you.
Mr.. Swift left the reporter before he
could be Intercepted further
Admissions OF Mr.. Swift and other
members OF the sanitary board indicate
that their report, when prepared, will
show that the plant is being operated at
loss instead of at a rate which Mayor
Jewett predicted year ago would cause
the plant ito pay for itself in I've years. "

feet support and absolute reten-
ton of any rupture, SO necessary
before you can hope to recover

THIRSTY HOGS
DIEOF DRINK
Wouldn't Go to Water So
Water Was Brought
To Them.

You've heard about the horse that
went to water but dida't drink. Well
here's a case of hogs being taken to
dry water hole and they didn't
leave till they did drink.
In California recently 400 hogs
had gone without drinking water
for three days. When the dilemma
was discovered, IL became necessary
for the animals to have water inn
mediately as II was extremely hot
weather. An attempt was made to
drive the entire 400 to water, but in
so doing they had to cross an ad-
Joining field where the hogs had
previously been watered at a water
ing hole
The hogs stopped there. Seeing
that they could not get the hogs to
water, they had TO haul water TO
the hogs. When the drink finally
arrived an effort was made to pre-
vent them from drinking too much
at once. But hogs is hogs" and
fourteen of the strongest went down
and out. Four of them died; the
others recovered.
Moral-Even water is dangerous
at times.
