You will not be long In Monte Carlo
before you are asked whether you play
in "the rooms" the "Salle Privee" or

game is concerned, it makes no differ

comfort while playing you must be-

Sporting club Of Monte Carlo.
Male candidates have to be proposed
by a man already admitted. You can
usually find sponsor by taking five
minute stroll on the terrace. Ladies,
in spite Of modern movements for
the emancipation of their sex, are re-
quired to be proposed and seconded by
two male members Of the club. In
practice this presents no difficulty, and

pairing and rebuilding road from
Moquah to the Cherryville road. The
last meeting of the Committee at
which the matte. was considered, was
held on Saturday, and the decision
was reached to get at this work right
away and push it to completion this
fall. 1t is estimated that the work
work contemplated will cost about
So, 10000.
With the completion of the new
road into Iron River this fall, and
the covering of the new road with
hard surfacing, the connecting link
from Moquah to the Cherryville road
becomes of prime Importance, for it
will provide the only feasible detour
until such time as the balance of the
new road can be completed to the
BAY from Moquah and there is a
strong desire to open the newly made
section of the highway for traffic
as soon as possible. 1t is not
thought, however, that the new road
will be used to any extend this fall.
The contract for extending High
way Project No. 121 from point
three miles east of Iron River to
this city is expected to be in a few
days. There is not much heavy
grading on this section of the soad
and the job will be comparatively
short one for contractor equipped
for the business of road making.
The work expected to be done this
fall and winter by the County on the
Cheeryville detour and the work
done and to be done under the
direction of the State Highway Com
mission on the established trunk line
will provide, undoubtedly, very fair
road all the way from Iron River to
Chequamegon bay, and will make
possible the abandonment of the
famous "snake trail' as trunk de-
tour.

Delicious Tropical Fruit.

The papaya, or true melon, is one
of the most delicious Of all tropical
fruits, and the tree on which 1t grows
is noted for its beauty and produc-
tiveness. In the Hawaiian islands the
papaya ranks next to the banana In
popularity, while In Mexico, Cuba and
Jamaica it is common and much
esteemed article of diet. From its
original home In Central America, the
tree has been carried to all parts OF
the tropics, being able to pass the
winter in the open as far north as
Jacksonville. Fla, and the southern
part Of California.

RITUAL OF AGONY
Remarkable Religious Rites Dear
to MaIayan Sect. al
Two Days Of Fasting Followed by
Hours of the Cruelest Tortures
Self-Inficted.

A religious sect Of the Malays has
Just been keeping a festival dear to
them as Christmas Is to us, writes q
correspondent from Singapore to the
London Daily Mail. The feast started
with a procession early on Sunday
morning, when they carried a costly
idol from one temple to another two
miles distant.
A silver chariot, with canopy and
dais, on which the idol had been car
ried, was placed at the entrance to an
avenue Of palms leading into the tenn
pie and lined with banners worked
with allegorical designs. In the porch
were four great hollow statues, gro
tesque affairs like effigies destined for
bonfire; these had been carried by
men walking inside them. Here also
were two fine white bullocks adorned
with silver anklets--animals kept
solely for the purpose of drawing the
chariot In the annual procession.
AS / was about to enter the tenn
pie tall, savage-looking native
emerged and told me to remove my
boots. As did so and took them out
side the porch he crashed coconut
on the steps, then picked up the largest
piece and returned. I followed him.
The temple itself was dark and
dirty. Smoky flares lighted up two
affairs before which priests were NUT
tering prayers, tearing up green leaves
and throwing the fragments on the
ledge at the base of the idol.
1 followed the tall native right to
the foot Of the altar; there saw him
place his portion Of coconut beside
many other half-nuts, each holding
two bananas and tender leaf, which
Is eaten as food by the Malays. The
priest blessed them and offered them
to the idol. which was fully revealed
for few seconds by the light Of a
torch.
Each man then claimed his fruit and
nut, together with pinch of powder
like sandalwood ash. With this he
touched his tongue and head, and
made three white lines on his fore
head and neck. Then he Frustrated

formed In physical drill In response

down."
Many Of these men are very wealthy
and ordinarily wear European dress,
but during the last three days they
have been wearing nothing but gold
ornaments around neck and arms and
a snowy white loin cloth thrown into
strong relief by their shining black
skins and jet black hair.
The idol was brought back In torch
light procession on Sunday night. On
Monday the natives practiced the
craziest fests Of endurance-indeed, I
could hardly believe the evidence Of
my own eyes.
In the temple, where the air was
fetid with the smell Of burning sandal
wood and perspiring humanity, were
men with hundreds of little darts
sticking into the body. wearing shoes
spikes which penetrated
deep into the foot, and drawing
wagons containing offerings of fruit
for the idols by cords attached to fish
hooks stuck In the flesh of the back.
The face of each of these men was the
personification of agony.

Too Much Publicity.

A girl clerk In the postoffice at Pom.

ton foreman, and Ford touring
car driven by 7. F. Mackmiller, crash

inc of last week. The auto was hit
in the rear end and the hind wheels
were smashed, and Mr.. Mackmiller
was thrown over the front seat and
landed in the tonneau. He was sore

Use Less japanese Teas.

In 1918 there were $4,000 tons of
tea exported from Japan to America.
while in 1919 the amount exported
decreased to 10000 tons and in 1920
there was only $4,000 tons exported.
This decrease is attributed to the fact
that Indian and Java black teas have
taken the place Of Japanese tea on
the market in America.

Shortly before going to press last
week, the Pioneer, received report
through Brule sources, that Carl
Oberg, who resides on the Norton
farm on the shore of Lake Super
Tor, north of Brule, drowned in Lake
Superior the Saturday previous, and
that searching parties had dragged
the waters, but that the body had
not been recovered. We stated in
our last issue that such a report had
been received here.
We are very glad to report now
that the report is not true and that
Mr. Oberg is very much alive. Mr..
Oberg admits, however, that the re-
port of his drowning at least would
have been true had it not been for
his plucky wife, who rescued him in
the nick of time.
Mr.. Oberg went out in a row boat
on Lake Supe .ior to meet a passing
tug. The wind was kicking up a
rough sea at the time and drove
the boat into some fish nets. The
boat capsized, and Oberg succeeded
in hanging to the capsized boat, but
could not right it about. His wife
witnessed the accident from shore,
and realizing. her husbands peril
our position, secured another boat,
and courageously rowed the craft
through the rough sea and effected
his rescue. Mr.. Oberg was thor
oughly chilled by the icy waters and
stated that hisshands were so numb
when rescued that he felt sure he
could not have hung on much longer.

IRON RIVER
From Iron River Pioneer
CARLsoN's BODY NOT FOUND

CARLSON'S BODY NOT FOUND
Tor several days friends of Char
les Carlson, the Superior man who
is thought to have drowned in Pike
Lake near this city, have dragged
theI lake, and searched the shores
for the body, but without results
His brother, from Eau Claire, has
been here and has joined in the
search.
In water as warm as that in Pike
Lake, it is regarded as entirely pro-
bable that drowned persons body
would raise to the surface in nine
or ten days. AS the drowning Oc-
Cured, if it occurred at all, two
weeks ago tonight and the body has
not yet appeared, some color is be-
ing lent to the theory that Carlson
may not have drowned, but reached
shore and wandered away.
