New England Men in Michigan
History" by VIM. Stocking of the
Detroit Chamber of Commerce, is
leading article in the current number
of the official state publication, The
Michigan History Magazine, Lansing.
Other articles of special interest
are "Recollections of Zachariah
Chandler" by o. E. McCutcheon, "A
Sketch of Some Institutional Begin
nings in Michigan" by Prof. Wilbur
o. Hedrick of M. A. c.. "A Brief His
tory of the Cleveland Cliffs Iron
Company" by J. E. Jopling of Mar
quette; and Michigan War Legisla-
ton, 1919" by Charles Landrum, his
torian of the Michigan War Prepar-
edness Board.
Copies ofthe Magazine are distrib-
uted free to schools and libraries.
1t will be of general interest that
the state has made an arrangement
with the Michigan Pioneer and His
torical Society by which both the
Magazine and supporting membership
in the Society may be obtained by in
dividuals from the Lansing office for
one dollar per year.
The state is trying to encourage
study of Michigans splendid history,
and this double offer should make the
Magazine practically self-supporting.
In many states the price of such a
Magazine is two and three dollars
in Georgia and Maryland SO. Six
hundred pages Of state history for S
is not a bad bargain as books go
these days.
Some articles of lighter vein in the
current number of the Magazine are
Romance and Adventure on the On
tonagon," by the late Henry M.
Powers; biographical sketch of
"Aunt" Laura Haviland, by Mrs.
Caroline Humphrey Of Adrian;
Early Days in Petoskey," by Henry
Mcconnell of Walloon Lake; an his
torical sketch of the public schools
of Battle Creek, by Supt. w. G. CO.
burn. The artist, Mr.. Murray Mac
Kay of New York City, presents for
chilly in this number, Michigan's need
of state war memorial and histor-
ical building at Lansing.
About half of the Magazine,
double number is devoted to the his
torical news of the state from county
and other local historical societies
and from schools and clubs doing
work in Michigan history.
The editor of The Messenger has
the privilege of receiving the Michi-
gan History Magazine and takes
pleasure in testifying to the fact that
it is a most interesting and informing
periodical 1t would be fine thing
if it could be in every home in Mich
igan.

CHR.

In securing the practical assent of
the great world powers, England,
France, Italy and Japan, to the
American plan for ten year naval
holiday, Secretary of State Hughes
scored a great triumph for Amer
lean diplomacy. 1t was, in our
opinion, the greatest single achieve
ment of craftsmanship since the pro-
mitigation of the Declaration of In
dependence. 1t is true that many
perplexing details yet remain to be
worked out, but as the plan has been
accepted in principle by the repre-
sentatives of the nations, clothed
as they are with plenary powers,
there can be little doubt that the
great world program for the adj
vancement of peace will be put in
operation with notifications that
must be of minor character. In
deed, no set of representatives would
dare to return home and tell their
constituents that they had rejected
this great and practical movement
for international amity and accept
responsibility for its defeat. The
worlds desire for peace and its alb
torrance of war and the staggering
burden of military establishments is
too great to permit action such as
that. We are convinced the COM
mon people of all the countries want
peace and it is only the narrow am
billions of statesmen, so called, and
the traditions of a past not suffici-
emily removed from barbarism that
are responsible for any survival of
the spirit of butchery. The worthy.
logical and attainable mbition of
civilization is the establishment of
justice and amity and the mainten-
ance of peace throughout the world.
1t is more than probable the present
arms conference will not attain this
result in its entirety, but it will do
much, in the language of the great
secretary, to establish the will for
pece" and ten years hence, when the
present pact shall end by limitation,
no combination of powers will dare
affront the conscience and the under
standing of the world by thrusting
war upon it.

are switched off to the side of the
main track. They are then built up
under, as no rail would stand the
strain of holding them when in oper-
alton. AS soon as the section is
cleaned up they are run on the main
track again and moved to the next
section. The timber is pierced by
several railroads tracks, about so far
apart, so as not to have to haul too
far as the closer up to the spar tree
they are the better the logs haul out.
Each logging outfit has its own loco
motives and cars and generally it's
own railroads to where the logs are
destined to go. There is one outfit
that used to go about a half mile to
the west of our place but the bridge
across the Stillaguamish River be-
longing to the company got so old
that it was not safe so they aban-
oned about eight or ten miles or their
road and send their logs past our
place on the Northern Pacific X. r.,
a little ways south of Edgecomb, to
where it crosses their old line, then
they go on their own track the rest
of the way to the Sound" Well /

lOWeTeu OH tue cars. lHeN are sup
posed to skid out and load 80 to 40
loads in a day Of eight hours. Their
cars are the same size as standard
guage railroad flat cars. so you see
numbering is no boys job.
The donkey engine that hauls the
logs out Of the woods is called the
'yarder" and the one that loads them
is the "loader." They both stand close
together as the logs are loaded as
fast as they are yarded Tor skidded
out, and both use the same "spar"
tree. The engineer never sees log
start, as it may be a quarter of mile
away but depends on signals.
Electric apparatus attached to his
whistle and an electric wire is passed
out into the woods near where the
men are hooking the "chokers" on
the logs, and boy is stationed there
to give the signals as the "choker"
hookers sing out. They boy that
gives the signal is called the whistle
punk" He has a thing that resem-
bles the bulb of photograph camera.
There is battery Of 10 "dry cells"
in box so you see there is some
power to it. Every time he squeezes
the bulb the whistle on the donkey
engine blows. Every move required
has its own signal, so no mistakes can
be made. Some Of those donkey en-
gines are large enough to run a big

This is a modest aspiration, surely,

EASY TO DISTINGUISH TUNES
Tell the Difference by Listen
ing Close.

Two gentlemen from away back in
the big sticks sat one night in a ST.
Louis cabaret and listened to the
chortling Of a first-class, A No. jazz
orchestra. One of the gentlemen dis
played lively interest in the music
being produced; from time to time he
even beat lively accompaniment with
his feet.
His companion displayed no such
interest; he actually appeared bored
by the proceedings. He apparently
could not understand the city's peculiar
music. At last he said to his friend {:
"Bill, whit tune is it them birds hev
been playin' all EVENING""
"Tune!" snOrted Bill. "You pore
prune; they've played a millyun tunes.
Cant you tell qae time frum another?'
"Gosh, no. They all sound alike to

CALIFORNIA TO GROW DATES
Possibility That That State May Be-
come Center Of Culture Of Fruit
In the World.

Within few years the Salton sea
basin. near Indio, CAL, may become
the center of the worlds date culture,
thanks to the efforts of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. For nearly twenty
years the bureau of plant industry has
been endeavoring to procure shoots of
the date palms which bear the fruit,
known commercially as the Sadly, or
Wahi. and Sewi varieties. So difficult
was the source of the splendid fruit
to trace that. up to 1913, only few
shoots had been procurable. At that
time an immense grove of 100000 of
the palms in the oasis of Dakhla, Tunis,
was discovered.
Negotiations for the purchase of
specimens having been satisfactorily
concluded. the collection of the shoots
was begun. That it was slow is ac-
counted for by the fact that tree puts
forth only twenty to thirty shoots dur
ing its lifetime. However, the collec-
ton was finally completed and the
work Of setting out $500 of the young
trees will be started within the near
future.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

laugh when she feels like it.
THAT is what she Is doing today.
''Of course the buoys are warning
ships that I'm about. And TIE bells
on the buoys strike with every little

is to warn ships where they are and
that they must be very careful.
Every time old Mother Ocean
laughs the buoys move and the bells
knock against the side of the buoys
and ring their warning sounds.
"The old tug boats are going straight
ahead and not paying any attention to
old Mother Ocean and her laughing.
They have work to do and they go
ahead and do it, like the fine little
workers that they are.
