Powell Was Directing Head
The Chatham -Trenary Land com
pany has operated under the direc-
ton OF ID. w. Powell. first vice-presi-
dent of the Marquette National Bank
w. H. Johnston and X. p. Bronson,
OF Ishpeming, and Paul Muechrcke,
of Marquette. The press of other
business matters forced the decision
OF the officers to sell although IL Is
Ilikely that Mr.. Muechrcke. who has
been sales manager for the company,
will be retained by Mr.. Swigart in
that capacity.
The coming Of the Swigarts into
upper Michigan Is looked upon as an
important step IN agriculturt de
velopment here. The Swigart Land
company was founded twenty-five
years ago by George w. Swigart, who
has since been It's executive. He Is
assisted by his brother. X. B. Swig-
art, who has been a member OF the
company for several years and who
handled the Chatham-Tre tran
saction.
He declares that the rapid agricul-
tural progress OF the upper peninsula
and publicity matter sent out by the
Upper Peninsula Development bur-
eau. attracted his attention 20 this
district. During a personal survey
OF the territory Mr.. Swigart learned
that the Chatham-Trenary property
was offered for sale, and he began
negotiations. Commenting on the
assistance received from the Devel-
opment bureau he said:
An emissary OF business interests
who comes prospecting to the upper
peninsula finds in the development
bureau an organized reception pro
vided for him by representative men

ed that negotiations in connection

Proposals for the merger are as

on account OF the inability OF repre-
sentatives OF the companies to come
to an agreement regarding the prices
at which the stocks OF the concerns
in the merger would be taken over by

TEACHERS PENSIONS

One OF the questions that the leg
islature will have to wrestle with
much at the coming session is the
amendments proposed to the state
teachers pension act wich was plac-
ed upon statute books during the adj
ministration OF Gov. Ferris.
The teachers want the state to con-
tribute to an amount equal to that
trobute an amount equal to that
which the teacehrs contribute. Under
the present law the teachers. them
selves. contribute the enteire amount
or their pension fund. The state simp-
ly administers the fund.
Teachers are not obligated to con-
tribute towards the fund but unless
they do they get no returns. The new
legislation seeks to make the contri-
buttons 10 the fund compulsory. for
all teachers engaged in the schools

THE COMMUNITY DINNER
The Finest Aiiair Ever Pulled on In
Crystal Falls, Without Exception

One couldn't help after looking
over the faces OF the 140 satisfied
youngsters who gathered at Eagles
Hall last Wednesday TO partake OF
the community dinner, but vote the
AFFAIR the finest OF any in the clty's
history. 1t was the first time that
an affair OF the kind was attempted
so great credit is due the ladies who
puhed il to so successful a conclu-
sion.
Mrs. Eidimiller was in charge OF
the affair with Mrs, w. II. Rein end
Mrs. Jas, ]. Gaffney first lieutenants.
Assisting these ladies were a score
or more OF young ladies whose work
was magnificent They set the tab
les, waited upon the youngsters lin
chort they saw the thing through
One of the pleasant features was
the ability to have nine Alpha child
rem at the dinner All regretted that
train conditions were not such that
Amasa children could be entertained,
also. Perhaps next time some arran-
gements can be made to entertain
the youngsters from there also.
Invitations We're sent out so that
only those whom the ladies consid-
ertd would appreciate the affair were
present. Those invited were all OF
tender age so that the dinner went
where II was best appreciated.
In addition to the dinner the young
sters were given candy, nuts etc. and
entertained during the time they
we're at the hall
The ladies who conceived the acair
and those who worked TO bring II TO
such successful conclusion are GER.
tainly deserving OF great praise. ,
