Their first visits to this regioA
date back to 1910. 1t was not
until 1858 however, that the first

This was the mission at Sault

Marquette. Mackinac was es-

Detrolt's growth was slow.
After the French and Indian
wars the English took over this

What Is now Michigan, Wiscon-

Indiana and Ohio was known as
the Northwest territory. After
Ohio was set soff as separate
state the Lower Peninsula OF
Michigan was joined to Indiana

came a separate territory with
about Its present boundaries.
There was, however, a great
dispute over a small strip Of
land in the extreme southern
portion which was claimed by
Ohio. This almost led to blood
shed, but was finally settled by
Michigan releasing her claim to
the disputed area and receiving
as compensation an addition to
the Upper Peninsula. On this
basis Michigan was admitted to
the Union in 1887 and became
the twenty-sixth state.
Michigan has a unique situa

BELGIAN HANDED A BULLET
VAUDEVILLE AT THE
ARMORY LAST NIGHT

The vaudeville program put on by
the American Legion in the armory
last night proved to be a fine per-
formance and was largely attended,
all seats being taken and a number
standing
Florence Wells and Eddie Arm
strong, in their little sketch entitled,
"a Little Bit of Music" were certain
ly appreciated to the fullest extent.
It is a pleasure TO hear Florence
Wells singing and to listen to the neat
and admirable way that this popular
team put its act over. They are great.
Mr.. Albert Lester Lucas, singing
was superb. He is without doubt q
singer who inspires, whose perfect
enunciation and tone production In
so splendid that he fairly breathes-
the spirit of the composers whose
message he delivers. His presenta-
tions rendered last night were thor
oughly enjoyed.
Mr.. j. B, King in his balancing act
was certainly a revelation to all. His
balancing stunts were very graceful
and clever and his efforts were greatly
appreciated. His act was well liked.
That chin of his is as strong as the
prov of a battleship. This closed the
program of fine show which was
greatly enjoyed by those present.
There were four acts originally
billed to appear, but Godfrey G. Davis,
in musical number, could not be pre-
sented on account of Mr.. Godfrey be-
! ing sick. All regret not being able
to hear that musical treat.

DIR. BRITAIN TELLS ABOUT
FALLING IN LOVE
(Associated Press)

Lewiston, Me-, March 1.-THE why's
and wherefores of falling in love, as
explained by DR.. Halbert H. Britain,
professor of philosophy, to students
of Bates College are quite simple.
"The principal reason why people
fall in love is because they are so
constituted, both physically and men,
tally that it is the normal, the natural
thing to do" he said. "There are two
aspects to the questionable natural
susceptibility of the individual and
the stimulus that calls forth the men,
tai reaction"
Awakening of true affection is COM
pared in this professors love story
to the preparing and combustion of
high power explosives. "In love, ma
ture has prepared the elements, COM
bined them through countless years,
and guarantees the result when some
vision of loveliness, some heroic deed
or even some insignificant word or
act unlocks the stored up energy of
the emotional life.
"There is not one single formula
for arousing love. Just as anger or
fear, for example, may excite by a
wide variety of circumstances and
conditions, so love is capable of being
awakened by stimuli equally diverse
A beautiful face by no means has the
power often assigned to it. 1t is by
no means indispensable nor does il
add noticeably to the intensity of the
affection felt for its owner. In mer
beauty is almost wholly subordinate
to other attractions"
DR.. Britain puts little faith in low,
at first sight.
AS a summary of the several age,
of susceptibility in love DIR. Brital
said: "After twenty, incidental re
marks will hardly serve to focus at
tention and to awaken interest; afte
thirty, the sediment of prolonged ex
perience has settled over the instinc
and often so solidifed, that toy tool
will seldom suffice to break throug
to the emotion bearing Paleosoic stra
tum of human nature. After thi
age, falling in love is no longer
matter of instinct. Common sens
good judgment, truer perspective {
life tend to discount the enthusiast
and exaggerations of loves youn
dream, and demand a firmer basis fl
the happiness to be won"

1t is not unusual for 1000 bills to
be introduced during the go days of
the legislative term. Every member
serves on five or six or more commit
tees. They have their own bills to

for those who are experienced to keep
an accurate account of the various

great Importance to those that are

Our Present Fiscal System Operates
to Keep the People in the Dark
Last year more than eight millions
of dollars were spent from the public
treasury. A staggering sum, even in
these days when the reckless waste OF
public funds, state and national, has
become the rule rather than the ex-
ception. Nearly 400 per cent. more
than was spent ten years ago. Dur,
ing that same period the population
of Florida increased less than so pei
cent In other words, our expense:
increased about 800 per cent fastel
than our population.
There are in Florida, in rount
numbers, a million people. l doub
