And Mackinac Again Is Automobiles

NEACKINAC ISLAND, MICH
AvA Horses still are supreme on this
wooded isle, but 1t was bitter fight
before the gasoline rebellion, which
ragged for several days, was crushed.
From the days when old Pontiac sat on
the Fort hill and planned coup for
his redskin followers which would
wrest the Great Lakes region from
the encroaching white man no automo-
bile has been allow ed TO run on the
island.
From the stand of the safety first"
exponents there was logic In the Gus
tom. The island is a scant ten miles
In circumference, and many Of the
roads zigzag up. steep cliffs. The
youthful summer population is of a
class that would operate many speedy
motors. Were automobiles permitted
there might be numerous accidents.
Also, the villagers hold the island
government firmly in their grasp, de-
spite all assaults by the summer cot
tagers, and one of their chief forms Of
revenue Is driving the summer visitors
around the island In surreys and
buckboards at 50 an hour. So when
ever q steamship came In at the wharf

dock. And, due TO their untIring vigil

WOULD TAKE MANY HEARSES
Firms That Have Died Since Drop In
Prices Would Make Large
Funeral.

Suppose a funeral passed your
house with $4,000 hearses, each hearse
containing an American business firm.
1t would be impressive, wouldn't itf
1t would also give you an accurate
Idea Of the number of business fall
ures since prices began to tumble in
May, 1920, notwithstanding they
haven't tumbled so very much for some
things. But don't get gloomy over 1t.
Standing on curbstones watching their
brethren go to Dun & Bradstreet's
cemetery, are nearly 100000 business
organizations that have weathered the
storm. In two years of severe de-
preston only one business in every
fifty-three has failed. The percentage
of farmers that have gone broke is
larger. Business failures have totaled
about 5000, 100000 year In liabilities.
Assets have averaged about enough to
pay 80 per cent on the dollar. The net
loss has been about $500, 100000 a
year, or about So year for each Amer
ican. Might be much worse, remarks

CANADA HAS STEADY GROWTH
Recent Census Shows Healthy In
crease In Population, Despite
Losses Caused by War.

Canada's census for 1921 indicated
total population of S,769, ,4S9, distrib-
uted as follows: New Brunswick, 387,-
500; Nova Scotia, 523,S37; Prince Ed
ward island, SS,615; Quebec, 2,349,-
OCT; Ontario, 2,929,054; Manitoba,
613,00S; British Columbia, 523,363;
Yukon, 4,162; Northwest territories,
1884, and Canadian navy, 4S5. The
gain for the whole Dominion during
1910-1920, was 100000 or 21.5 per
cent. The war cost the lives of 56,6S0
Canadians killed In action, while 40,-
600 more died from indirect causes.
The percentage increase in population
is the same as that for Australia, while
the increase for New Zealand 20 per
cent was very little behind. In the Union
Of South Africa the increase was 1872
per cent. The Prairie provinces made
the most pronounced gain in Canada,
Alberta showing a 65 per cent in
crease; Saskatchewan over SO per
cent, and Manitoba, 33 per cent. For
the next ten years the unit of distribu-
tion for determining the membership
of parliament will be 36.250. This total
Is arrived at by dividing by 65 the
population Of each province.

BOY SCOUTS NUMBER 4s2.o1s

1t has just been officially announced
that the gain In boy scouts during the
past full year has been 1854. This
makes the present total Of boy scouts
432 ,013, the high water mark In the
history Of scouting. The number of
scout officials In the country today Is
127,5s6. making a grand total Of 659-
800 scouts and scout officials.
These figures were given out In
report of the chief scout executive at
meeting of the executive board of
the national council Of the Boy Scouts
of America, which was held short
time ago. This was the last meeting
of the executive board until fall.
Other figures showing great con-
slant increasing interest In scouting,
the country over, are that during the
past five months of this year total
of $1,000 merit badges we're obtained
by scouts as compared with 40,736 for
the same period last year, or gain
of Al per cent. The merit badges are
the awards Of merit that scout at.
tains after he goes on up the ladder
from a first class scout. Five hundred
and sixty-seven boys have qualified as
eagle scouts, as compared with 800
during the same period of last year.
Eagle scout represents the highest
standard of scouting that boy can
attain.
All of the above figures are very
significant of the onward march of the
largest movement for boys in the
world that has to do with character
building and citizenship training.

Lorimer as thin, and hard, wearing a
scraggly beard. He recently recovered
from an attack of malaria, which af-
fected his eyes.
He may be forced to return to the
United States soon to have his eyes
treated. The engineers under him say
that doctors have informed him that
blindness may follow swiftly If neg
lect goes on, but the former politician
Is loathe to leave the hardships.
II don't have some of the things to
which I became accustomed In the
United States" he said. II have, how
ever, other things that are worth
while.
'This country needs American cap
ital to build railroads and other i'm
provements. Those Americans who
lend hand In this great work of de.
velopment will not only be the bene-
factors of this people but Will also
find financial returns Of which they
have no idea at this time. l am here
to carry on until the task is finished"
Among the Chicagoans In the syn
dicate are William III. Finley, Samuel
insult and Boetius HI. Sullivan.
An indication that the death of Mrs.
Lorimer three years ago has had
serious effect on the former Chicagoan
was seen in his references to the peace
of the jungles.
"This Is a place where one can
think, reflect and even have solace for
his sorrows and memories" he said.

Terre Haute scouts have, by their
own earnings, provided for the fur
nishing Of room at the New Union
hospital. In carrying through this
project 1t is worth noting that the
boys adhered strictly to scout prin-
ciples and asked no money from the
public. The Terre Haute Star In
commenting upon this good turn,
says: Through the years to come that
the hospital serves humanity the boy
scout room will remain as memorial
to the great movement to make better
boys and as tribute to the boys who
were inspired to be helpful In a sub
stantial way for the lasting benefit of
the community"

considerable logic, contend that there
should be no obligation upon them to
do the unions bookkeeping and to-
supply them with the sinews of war

death and accident irsurarce, (des-
pite the existance of the Workman
Con pensation Acts). They also de-
duct various penalties, such as 81 per

to work; 81 for tire first offence, SO
for the second, SIS for the third, when
he operator considers that the coal
produced by the miner is unnecessa-

The above fairly covers, in a gen.
