WHEN ANDY LEWIS FOUGHT
CHIEF CORNSTALK
q, Western Newspaper Union.

The battle of Point Pleasant on
September 10, 1774, was the first "all-
American" battle ever fought on this
In all important engagements before
French and Indians against British
and Americans. But when Andy Lewis
and his borderers batled with Chief
Cornstalk and his Shawnees, it was
strictly a native affair.
Lewis was born in Ireland, but he
had come to this country while still
q child, and he was no less an Amer
lean than the frontiersmen he led. He
fought with George Washington in the
French and Indian war and he became
one Of the greatest leaders Of the CO.
lonial troops. He was six feet two
inches tall and powerful.
Lewis was chosen by Lord Dunmore
in 1874 to lead picked body of men
against the Shawnees while Dunmore
attacked them from another direction.
Chief Cornstalk knew the two armies
were coming and decided to defeat one
before the other could join it-a fa-
vorite trick of Napoleon.
The Shawnees attacked Lewis army
early one morning. Lewis had taken
out his pipe when the first shot was
fired. He coolly finished lighting his
pipe and then gave the orders to his
men, who rushed to meet the Indians.
Both sides fought 'Indian-fashion,"
lodging from tree to tree and taking
advantage of every bit Of cover. The
fighting was at close range and in
the smoke-filled forest frontiersman
and Indian came hand to hand-toma-
hawk against hunting knife.
Late I'm the afternoon the Indians
gave way, but there was no rout.
Cornstalk was too good a general for
that and the Americans paid dearly
for every foot Of ground they won.
That night Lewis held possession Of
the battlefield, but he had won 1t at
terrible cost-75 men killed and 14O
wounded. Andy Lewis and his bor-
derers had won the greatest Indian
battle in early American history.
Andy Lewis did not have a chance
to make a name for himself In the
War of the Revolution which soon fol-
lowed. He was passed over for gen
erals of less ability and he died In
1880, an embittered, broken-hearted
old man. The fate of his opponent,
Cornstalk, had also been a sad one.
In 1777 he came to a fort on the Ohio
on a friendly mission. He was arrest:
ed and thrown into prison. While
there the great Shawnee leader was
treacherously murdered by a mob of
soldiers in revenge for the death of a
comrade who had been killed by In
dians.

The scare that developed last We'd

discovered that Charlevoix had two
cases of infantile paralysis. is subsiding
and Charlevoix summer residents and
tourists who had been considering the
advisibility of taking their children a.
way have decided to remain on the ad-
vice of DR.. II. B. Armstrong, leading
physician, and others who have assur-
ed them there is nothing to fear
One case is that of the seven-year-old
son of Kalamazoo family that occupi-
es cottage at the Belvedere resort.
1t developed three weeks ago and the
child is recovering. The other case is
at the other end of town and it devel-
oped Wednesday.
A few frightened mothers packed up
and took their children away, but
there was no exodus of 300 as was re-
ported in one of the Chicago newspa-
pers.
There are many tourists lesving for
southern points because their vacations
are over and the weather is cooler at
home, but comparatively few of these
are leaving because of the alleged cpl
demic. More are coming north than
going south.
Stories that the disease was caused
by CharlevoiX's contaminated water
supply are branded as untrue by DR..
Armstrong, who states that bad water
there caused by the leaking of sewer
pipe near the city well, but that trouble
has been remedied. DR.. Armstrong
also points out that the water drank by
the Belvedere victim comes from an
other source-a pure, deep well of
excellent water-and g. C. Stuckey,

The recent demonstrations in poultry
culling, conducted by E. C. Foreman.
throughout the county were well at.
tended. Mr.. Foreman showed how
five things should be learned about
any hen. These five things were as
follows:
l. Is the hen laying? 2. Is she
going to continue to lay, or is she
about through for the year? 3. How
many eggs has she layed during the
past season? 4. How many times has
she been broody or taken a rest?
8. Does she lay three eggs a week or
six eggs week?
When these questions are answered,
a person has good idea whether or
not a hen is profitable one to keep in
his flock. All those that heard and
saw Mr.. Foreman were able to answer
these questions with a reasonable de-
gree OF accuracy and we feel that his
work was very profitable to the county.
The Better Sires Demonstration train
which arrived at Boyne City, Aug. IL,
was enthusiastically received. Two
good bulls were left in the county; one
with T. S. Tunison at Bay Shore and
one with Albert Bathke and Frank Fox
OF Horton Bay. The work of the Cow
Testing Association is progressing very
nicely and showing some very inter-
esting results. Elmer Ingalls, Of Char
levoix, owns the cow making the high
est butterfat record for July. II is a
grade Holstein and made 1876 pounds
of butterfat for the month. The Breezy
Point Farm owns the cow which gave
the greatest milk production, it pro-
ducing 1922 pounds for the month OF
July. These are very good records for
common Iarm care and twice a day
milking. Eleven cows produced over
fifty pounds Of fat and seventeen cows
1850 pounds of milk. The average pro-
duction of the 108 cows tested was 1856
pounds of milk and 1876 pounds of fat.

HEALTH HINTS FOR
PLANT LIFE GIVEN

Valuable tips on plant sanitation to
prevent parasitic diseases and rotting
of farm produce have been issued by
DIR. G. Fl. Coons, plant pathologist at
M. A. c. II they are needed In time,
fmany threatened tree. may be kept
alive and many bushel of vegetables
kept from rotting. Following are the
notes prepared by DIR. Coons:
"The raspberry patch should be
'caned' to remove all dead and badly
diseased stalks. This is more or less
of sanitary measure and it gives the
sound canes chance.
'In the allpruning Of apple orchards
the farmer has a chance to rid the
trees of cankered limbs. In deciding
what cuts are to be made, the vigor
and freedom from disease OF a limb
should be borne in mind
"Any pruning cut exposes the heart
wood of the the tree and opens the
way for heart rot fungi. AS soon as
the cut surfaces are dry they should
be painted with a white lead paste
mot zinc white). Common barn paint
or ready mixed mouse paint has small
protecting value for pruned surfaces.
The pruning cut should be made
flush with the main branch. The heal
ing of wounds comes about from a
'callus' growth from the cambium. II
stubs are left the projecting parts pre-
vent the healing.
Hold-over cankers of fire blight can
be located by the blighted twigs on
which the leaves have withered and
dried. The canker is at the base of the
twig. These should be located and
removed. Through winter eradication
coupled with vigilance in the early
part of the growing season will control
fire blight.
Ventilation is necessary in the
storage cellar if disastrous rotting of
the produce is to be avoided. Vege-
table pits should be provided with
straw floor and straw or crate Chin
ney. Black heart of potatoes and
black specking of cabbage are due to
lack of oxygen in the storage room.
A cleanup of all trash from the pre-
ceding crop should take place promptly
in the garden. Many fungi survive the
winter in such trash. Sanitation is the
gardeners greatest protection.
'In the field sanitation is obtained
by crop rotation. Those who followed
corn with corn, beets with beets, or
beans with beans have this year found
that disease has been one important
factor in their farming. Aside from its
relations to soil fertility, crop rotation
is necessary to avoid disease intensifi-
cation.
"Seed corn is best chosen in the
field rather than from the bin, but
must come from stalks which mature
naturally and not prematurely as a
result of root disease"

COUNTY FAIR SEASON.

There is polishing Of hoofs and a
brushing Of silky coats, spraying of
vines and watchful waiting for the de-
velopment of fancy fruits, a measuring
of eggs and weighing of milk abroad in
the land. The season of county fairs
approaches.
The prospectus for one such event
remarks:
Hn recognition Of the importance of
the-fair and its educational value to the
community the supervisors have made
liberal appropriations, which have
stimulated interest in agriculture and
added to the comfort of visitors to the
fair grounds.
'Plans for the Fair here indicate
that il will be the best ever held in the
history Of the county. The premium
list shows that the society has done its
part to attract the best exhibitors in
the state"
So the way is paved for one of the
pleasantest and most valuable gather
ings in the history of any community.
1t is an event which grows in import
ance and gains fresh interest every
year. Here friends and neighbors
meet and get new ideas and renew old
ties. The man who exhibits, whether
he gets prize or not, helps to raise
the standard Of production in the
countryside generally, just as his inter-
est and study have raised his own stan
dards. The visitor gets a new inter-
est, enthusiasm and respect for the
work OF those who produce foodstuffs
for the nation.
Morally, socially and economically a
fair is great thing.
