Community House at State Line

For more tkan two years prominent
men residents and visitors of State
Line township have been talking OF
the erection of a Community House
to serve the people up there in their
social and uplift development, but it
has been left to the women of the
community to take the matter in
hand and demonstrate their superior
ity in such undertakings. For this
purpose they organized a Ladies Aid
Society with Mrs. Ernest Carlson as
president.
The matter of raising funds was
started last Saturday night. The
children of the State Line school,
drilled by their teacher, presented a
play Of the Model School conducted
by Miss Grace Mayo, in which Eddy
Mayo was the model boy, and Vera
KnobIa the precocious girl. Mr.. Ed
ward Preston gave several readings Of
his own composition, and Mrs. Angus
ia Handlos rendered several selections
on her faYorite instrument The Oc-
casion was made notable by an anc-
ton sale of various boxes and basket
lunches prepared by the ladies to test
the bidding sabillties of the men. The
bidding started with two cent bid
and reached the peak at $725 for a
box. Keen riyaly was shown in the
sale Of Miss Mary Milliken's box,
which went to Mr.. Sam Carley, while
all rivalry between Big Twin and
Black Oak lake was merged when
Alfred Adams succeeded in buying
Mrs Geo. st. Clair's basket. The
total sales amounted to over $4,000
with returns still coming in al date
Of writing.
AS the ladies' of State Line are eX-
pecting large future donations of
labor, material, and cash for the
Community House, they are planning
to start building operations early in
May, to be- ready for Jaly 4th. Several
sites for the building have been of
fered free, but it is likely that the
offer of Mr.. Edward Preston of half
acre on the county highway at the
junction of the north shore drive OF
Black Oak lake will be accepted. The
valiant women Of State Line are to
be congratulated on their enterprise
in so worthy cause.

gard whatever it believes does not

held in an opinion of the Appellate

ton of a specimen ballot, giving the
names of the democratic, republican,
and socialist candidates for the Judge

independent candidates.
It was contended by Mr.. Reeda
that this omission was ''Wilful and
malicious, and done with intent to
injure his candidacy"

either the plaintiff or the public to
publish anything which, for any
reason, it did not see fit to publish |"

silk for Consistent Hindus.

Muga silk is a product of Assam. Fri
silk comes from caterpillars which feed
on the castor oil plant. It is of great
value in India, because it is the only
silk that can be spun from cocoons
without killing the insects in the CO.
coons, and it is therefore the only silk
that can be worn by a strict Hindoo.
