MICHIGAN TO TRY

Lansing. Mich.-Michigan, through
its conservation department. will at
tempt to propagate reindeer in the
upper peninsula of the state.
A. consignment of SO cows and 10
bulls, ordered months 6 from Nor
way, recently arrived in New York.
The herd will be brought to Michigan
and turned loose. For the present,
because of demoralized ~transporta-
ton conditions. the reindeer will be
allowed to roam in the northern part
of the lower peninsula, but in a few
weeks they will be transported across
the Straits of MAckfnac into the
country that is to be their permanent
home.
According to officials Of the state
conservation department, reindeer
should thrive in upper Michigan. Ex-
tremely cold weather is prevalent in
winter, and the winters there are un-
usually long. Moss and forage, which
is suitable for f~odder>for the animals,
is found in abundance in the upper

association, in a statement in connec-
ton with Be Kind to Animals week,
April 1879.
DR.. Sttllman recommended that to
this end humane education, which is
being introduced into the schools OF
the country, be uniformly taught In
public n private schools; that hu.
name education laws, already passed
by twenty states, be enacted by all
states: and that teachers institutes
and training schools instruct thei1
members that better school service OF
this sort may, be. rendered. =

DR.. Sullman explained. He declared
that the protection Of animals had
not been wholly for the animals
sake, but that ut was felt that the
persons who practiced cruelty would
not be good fathers, husbands or citi.

GLOOM is CATCHING

EvEN though we are reasonably
IL shre that the sun is still in the
sky, a cloudy day depresses us. Most
of us suffer from feeling of forebod-
ing even on clear day, when cloud
comes between us and the distant fire
that lights and warns the world.
We are similarly sensitive to all the
little troubles of our liyes-to any,
thing that disturbs our regularly Or
dered existence.
A temporary illness-a suspicion
that there are some kind of business
breakers ahead-these things plunge
us into gloom. y
And we, in our turn. pass the gloom
along. For our friends. seeing the
black and foreboding faces that we
wear, grow gloomy too.
One sullen-faced man in an Office
will sometimes spoil the day for the

Nobody loves a gloomy man-but

The gloomy man or woman in a
