Across the turquoise sea

And roses and Ea-dertas-

LAND CLEARING QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS

Can get any mere picric acid this
fall2 Unless you have your order
placed you will not be able to get
any picric acid. Our allotment of
1900 pounds has been entirely used
and we have been forced to turn down
several orders.
Where can ! get bar like the one
used at the demonstration to make
holes under stumps? Consult your
county agent or write to this Office.
Your blacksmith can make a good
bar out Of III inch cold rolled steel
shafting. Have him weld in q 6 inch
point and 6 inch head Of tool steel
tempered to stand striking rocks and
battering without chipping or fiat
tening. The bar should be four feet
over all.
What is the best dynamite for the
cracking of rocks? When "mudcap-
ping" "bulldozing" or lobbying"

is best. Specific conditions should
be included ror more definite an
swer to this question:
Will several charges with fuses cut
the same length placed around big
stump all 60 off at the same time if
I am careful to light them at the
same time? No, this is impossible,
and such a practice usually wastes
dynamite.
Can log TANNER be used as a
stump piler? Certainly, but it is
advisable to get the frost Trip" so
that you can drop the stump any place
you want to.
To crack stump after it has been,
pulled, would you advise boring a
hole to place the charge? That meth
Cd will use less dynamite but by mud
Gaping the charge tight against the
bottom of the stump the same result
is obtained with lot less labor.
Is hand piling cheaper than using
a stump puller? That all depends
on local conditions. A field Of stumps,
well shot with dynamite can be eco
nomically piled by hand. But if
stump puller has been used and the
pieces are large, stump piler is es-
sential in piling, as the large pieces
do not burn readily in small piles.

HEBARD MILL STARTS MONDAY

The Hebard saw mill at Pequaming
will start cutting logs next Monday,
after being closed down for several
weeks. Rafting crews are at Skanee
and Huron River after three million
feet of hemlock, which will be towed
to Pequaming and manufactured into
lumber.
The company has sold several car
goes of lumber to be shipped by boat
before navigation closes, their yards
being quite well stocked, which caused
the closing down of the mill.
The resumption of operations by
this corporation in it's big double band
saw mill running two shifts will be
Of decided advantage to the people of
Pequaming, that being the only in
dustry situated there, and will give
employment to all idle men.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION

The Sunday School convention for
Baraga county held in Baraga Octo-
Der Is was splendid success.
Commencing promptly at two o.
clock in the afternoon, Mr.. s. H. Knis-
ely led the devotional services by
song and prayer, several in the con-
creation taking part with a spirit of
triumph which bespoke that with God
all things are possible.
Mr.. H. R. GLADDEN. was first on
the program, and opened with talk
On "What Can the Adult Do" He
brought out many instances where
the adult could be Of much use in
sweetening and Frightening the lives
Of others. He spoke with a feeling
in his soul which brought US all near
err to the one who said II will never
leave thee or forsake thee"
Next Mrs. Grace Sengebusch gave
fine paper ond talk on the "Teen-
Age Possibilities" which was very
instructive to all and gave US to un-
derstand that the hope Of the country
and the building of Christ's Kingdom
lies in the great work Of saving the
young and sending them out into the
harvest which is white and ready for
the cleaners.
S. H. Knisely spoke on Music in
the Sunday School," this brother be-
ing a splendid leader in songs of high
quality. He intimated the ragtime
has no place with him at any time,
but asked us to teach our young the
songs of triumph and glory, that will
be the means of Frightening those
lives and causing them to shine as
the stars Of the midnight sky.
j. L. Anderson's address, "A Pos
sible Goal," was all that could be de-
sired. This noble brother brought
forth SO many good thcaghts, would
to God / could remember all of them.
This finishing the afternoon session,
we had a recess Of about three hours,
which we spent with much pleasure
meeting each ether. Delegates were
present from L'Anse, Pequaming and
our rural school. Dinner was served
by the ladies of the Baraga school.
At 2 o'clock the evening session
started in with glow that still shines
in our lives, with Albert E. Vincent
and s. H. Knisely leading the devo-

BARAGA GIRL Welded

At Eaton Rapids October Is, Miss
Ruth Graham, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. William A. Graham of Baraga
was married to W. B. Rogers, the
ceremony taking place at the M. E.
parsonage.
The. wedding came as a surprise to
the many friends of the bride, who is
one Of Baraga's most accomplished
young ladies, a graduate Of the high
school and of the Normal at Ypsilanti.
She is at present teaching at BEDFORD
in her second year.
Mr.. Rogers is in the real estate
business in Eaton Rapids, where the
couple will reside.

rocks or boulders 80 or 60 per cent
is best. Twenty per cent may be used
successfully to throw boulders out of
the ground and if the charge loaded
under the rock is placed close against
it 20 per cent will very often break it
in several pieces.
How much dc cap crimpers cost
and where can ! get them? Consult
your nearest dealer or write to this
Office.
Is 40 per cent dynamite twice as
strong as 20 per cent? No; it is about
two-fifths stronger. On the strength
basis, one and four-tenths sticks Of
20 per cent equals one stick of 40 per
cent. However under nearly all soil
conditions the actual strength Of the
explosive is not considered. The ac-
ton of the explosive is what counts.
Twenty per cent dynamite is much
slower than 40 per cent; therefore it
has more lifting or heaving effect
and is usually better for stump blast
ing, used round for pound.
Is a No. 8 electric cap stronger
than an ordinary No. 6 cap? No;
they are exactly the same thing.
Which is cheaper, dynamite or
stump puller? Sometimes dynamite;
sometimes the stump pulled. Most
Of the time combination of the two

tional services.
Rev. Rule was first called and gave
fine address ON "Why Teachers
Training? 2" Brother Rule laid down
many rules for US to measure up to,
to do our best for the Sunday Scnool
and to bring about results to the glo-
ry Of ourselves and to the glory Of
God, that would stand the test for
time and eternity. Brother Rule
seemed to be at his best, as usual,
and spoke in the spirit and power. We
all enjoyed his splendid talk.
Next Rev. M. H. ldred Of Ishpe-
ming spoke on the Workers Confer
ence. We expected much of this rev.
erend gentleman and we surely were
not disappointed. The time he took
seemed very short, SO interesting it
seemed to him to point man and child
to the lamb Of God, who taketh away
the sin Of the world.
Next came the Rev. j. L. Anderson,
our beloved brother who has all the
Sunday Schools in the upper PENN
sula under his supervision. The old
saying is, "Yca never see the good in
a man until he is dead" Well, Bro
Their Anderson is not dead but very
much alive, and we are glad that he
is and that we can see the good in
him. God bless you and your work,
Brother Anderson; we feel that this
convention has been an inspiration to
all.
Mr.. A. E. Payne, county secretary,
gave splendid report Of he finan-
cial standings, which wls very en-
couraging. s's

son and his fine staff of officers for
the good being done through their eff

BEFORE THE DAY or GLASS
Leather Bottles Were Once in Com
mon Use, and Served Their Pur-
pose Admirably.

In past days England had many
bottles and other receptacles made
from leather This was largely owing
10 the scarcity Of native pottery and
glass and the costliness OF such things
when they were imported.
Among these leather vessels were
the water bouget, the leather bottle,
and the blackjack, the last-named in
Guiding all pots made In leather. The
water bouget was a pair OF water
tight leather bags joined together by
their necks like a pair of glass oil and
vinegar bottles The leather bottle
was used until the end Of the
Eighteenth century, its later use being
in the harvest fields.
English leather drinking vessels and
bottles had the characteristics Of
strength and solidity and were made
Of tanned oxhde, which was thick
and rigid; while foreign-made bottles
generally seem to have been-and still
are, where they eXist--compOsed Of
lighter and thinner leather obtained
from the goat, pig or sheep which was
cured in such manner as TO remain
flexible
There IS great variety among these
leather vessels, which were madc Of
plain and stamped leather and about
which many particular uses and as.
soclatlons sprang up.
