SCHOOL STARTS MONDAY

The L'Anse township schools will
reopen Monday, January 8. Par
ents are urged to see that all pupils
start the first day. Pupils entering
late get behind the rest of the class,
which leads to encouragement and a
dislike for school. In the course Of
the next few months the very best
work of the school year should be
accomplished and it is hoped that the
percentage Of attendance will be high.
The last of an order for desks has
been received and for the remainder
Of the year the first graders will en-
joy desks the same as the grades
above. They will also retain their
chairs and tables for work which can
best be accomplished by their use
This Improvement should be great
aid in facilitating the work of the
little folks.
As usual during vacation the jan
itors have been busy cleaning the
school houses and oiling the floors SC
that they will be in the most sanitary
condition. In the central school
buildings the job has already beer
completed by Mr.. Johnson and ev.
erything looks fine for the beginning

Without doubt, the land clearing

upper Michigan more closely in touch
with the vital Importance of agro-

Credit is due likewise, to those in

BUREAU HAS APPOINTED
A FINANCIAL SECRETARY

The appointment Of John F. Mason
of Crystal Falls as financial secre-
tary of the Upper Peninsula Develop
memnt Bureau, to succeed, Harry r.
Snyder of Duluth, is announced by
J. S. Weidman, Jr., president of the
bureau. The appointment became eff

tional circles for number of years,
first as superintendent Of the Iron
county system of schools and later as
school commissioner of that district.
He was also acting president Of the
Upper Peninsula Educational Asso-
citation two years ago, when the an
nual institute was held at Sault Ste.
Marie. That meeting has since been
declared one Of the most interesting
and successful ever held by the As
sociation.
The new financial secretary has
been prominent in development work
throughout the peninsula. AS secre-
tary of Iron county's fair board last
year he brought about a number of
marked improvements in that organ
ization and was largely responsible
for the success of the annual agricul-
tural county fair last fall.
| It is understood that Mr.. Snyder,
the bureaus secretary during the
past year, has accepted similar po-
sition in new field. The many friends
he acquired during his association
with the bureau wish him every sue
cess in his new venture.
Mr.. Mason is a keen business man
with a personality and sense Of judg.
ment which should bring him marked
success. The well wishes Of his many
friends and acquaintances throughout
the peninsula go with him in his new
work.
i Mr.. Mason's work will carry him
into every county in the peninsula
during the year.

PASTIME THEATRE

Ever expect the unexpected of
Constance Talmadge, though you
may, her sudden leap from, comedy
character to the poignancy of little
Ming Toy in the famous play East

and delight them all the more. The
fact that it is an eight reel produc-
ton and the most distinctive achieve
ment of the efffervescent star are
stated in the latest communique from
the Pastime theatre, where the pic
lures will be seen next Wednesday
and Thursday.
The career of Ming Toy is fraught
with surprises. They start when she
is offered at auction as a wife slave
aboard the Love Boat in Shanghai.
Her escape with the aid of Billy Ben
son, an American, is both thrilling
and humorous, and transported to the

San Francisco as the ward of veal

and it becomes necessary to marry
Ming Toy to someone, Charles Yong,
pronrietor of several chop suev nal

to the assortment of wives he already
boasts. But on the day her marri-
age is arranged Billy Benson, the

1922 AUTO LICENSES ARE
GOOD UNTIL FEB. I, 1928

The sheriif's Office has been advised
by Charles j. DeLand, secretary of
state, not to arrest automobile users
who are using their 1922 lates until
February 1. There are only a few
automobiles in use now but those few.
can operate for another month with
their 1922 plates.
This action was taken, Mr. DeLand
said, because of the conditions Great
ed by the Motor Title Act Of 1924
which requires automobile owners to
procure certificates Of title.
The applications for title certif-
Gates are coming in at the rate of
5000 daily and more than 10000 Of
these applications have accumulated
in the secretary's Office during De-
cember. The Office force is working
overtime in an effort to get out the
certificates. 1t will require at least
a month, it is said, to clean up the
accumulated applications.
Under the 1921 law, no automobile
owner can get 1923 license who has
not certificate of title. 1t has been
widely advertised for a year that GER
tifcates Of title must tbe procured
from the state. Thousands did not
make application unt:i time to renew
their license plates. 4
Mr.. DeLand says there are approx
imately 100000 automobiles owned in
Michigan and the fact that each ap-
plication for license plate must be
accompanied by a certificate Of title,
showing the ownership of the automo-
bile in the namem of the person ap-
plying for the license, has necessarily
mamde the issuing of license plates
slower than in former years.
No further extension Of time win
fbe granted, he warns. Automobile
owners must have plates by Feb. 1.

Mill WORKERS GET
EIGHT HOUR DAY

With the dawn of the New Year the
Stearns G. Culver Lumber Company's
saw mill and its various operations
passed into the hands Of the Michigan
Iron, Land & Lumber Company, they
assuming control Tuesday morning.
The eight hour law was put into eff
feet on the first day.
The following executives from
Iron Mountai arrived Tuesday and
took over the works: Miss j. E. Fo-
ley, Miss Anna OLeary, B. o. vallen-
dorf, r. v. Dudley, G. A. Headquist,
Thomas Bennett, j. P. Ryan and Mr..
HART.
Mr.. Ryan will have charge of the
sawmill, Mr.. Headquist the lumber
and Mr.. HART the woods.
The Stearns & Culver Lumber
Company, which has been running
this plant the past six years, will
continue operating its plant at Lake
Linden. It has large holdings of
timber in that section, making large
purchase a few years ago from the
Calumet & Hecla Mining Co. Mr..
Alter, who has managed both the
L'Anse and Lake Linden plants, will
continue to have charge of the mill
on Torch Lake.
p. J. O'Leary, who had charge of
the woods operations here, has taken
a similar position in Lake Linden,
and George Ford will have charge of
the yard at the Lake Linden plant.
During the period that the Stearns
& Culver Lumber Company has oper-
ated here, it has greatly assisted the
business interests, being liberal in
their donations and always working
to do what they could for the better
ment of the community. During the
period Of depression which we have
just passed, they continued to oper-
ate at times when it seemed impos-
sible to do so and when sales of its
forest products could not be made.
The people of L'Anse regret the
departure of those who by the sale
of the mill to the Ford interests are
compelled to seek other fields, and
hope that their future will be both
prosperous and successful.

damages.
The great majority of abutting
property owners along the highways,
as well as the general public, are in
Iterested in having the roadsides at
tractive and thousands of trees have
been planted and protected by land
owners, by public spirited associa-
tions, and by the highway authorities
for this purpose. There have been
some violations of the law however,
by land owners cutting trees along
their frontage by Commissioner Rog-

tions have been due to ignorance of

or owners who are prone to cut the
nearest trees when they need fire.

the beauty Of such trees.
From the thousands c. communica-
tions he has received on the subject,
Commissioner Rogers feels that the
people of the state in general want
the roadside trees protected. The pub
lie wants the trees to make the high
ways attractive and TO- make travel
more comfortable, while to the farm
er, the trees are benefit for their
food products, for wind breaks and
above all, for their protection to the
birds that destroy their insect enc
mics. There is widespread demand
for the planting of roadside trees and
the state highway department is plan
ming this work in such a way as to
be benefit to the abutting lands as
we'll as. an added attraction to the
highways. However, where there are
sufficient trees of the proper varieties
now growing there is no necessity to
plant others and great deal of mon
ey can be saved to the people of the
state by proper protection of the ex-
listing roadside trees, both large and
small.
1t is recognized by the highway
department that in some places it
would be benefit to remove certain
roadside trees on account of their be-
ing close together, diseased or of un-
suitable varieties and this would be
taken into consideration when permits
are applied for. However, Commits
sioner Rogers states that in all cases
where it is desired to cut roadside
trees, application for permit must
be made to the proper authorities.
On state trunk line and federal aided
roads, such application should be
made to the state highway commits
sioner, on county roads to the board
of county road commissioners and on
township roads to the township au-
thorities.

Some conceptions Of the increasing
popularity of upper Michigan as a
tourist objective is derived when it is
considered that these figures refer
only to the passenger automobiles
ferried across the Straits of Mack
mac, and that they do not refer in any
way to any of the various other
points of entry into upper Michigan
Ironwood, Menominee-
Sault Ste. Marie, and other points.
"We have every reason to believe
that next year will see ever a more
marked increase in the volume of
tourist traffic into upper Michigan"
declared Mr.. Bishop, in commenting
on the above figures. 1--WE must bear
strictly in mind however," he added,
"that with this increase there must
necessarily be a corresponding i'm
provement in our own facilities for
accommodation.
"We must have more camp sites,
more hotels, and--in some sections,
better roads. We must do our full
share if we hope to bring our visitors
back each year. Now is the logical
time to give these features every pos
sible attention, for this regions is just
at this time coming nto considerable
prominence as summer resort Sec
ton.
"They will be back next year in
increasing numbers. We must not
turn them away from our hotels, for
lack of rooms, nor from cities, for
lack of camp sites. Every community
in the peninsula, located along the
mamin routes of travel, should have
a camp site established and equipped
next year."

$4,000 ACRES LAND CLEARED

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan
is richer by some $1,000 acres of
cleared, agricultural land today, as
compared with year ago, as the re-
suit of Larry" Livingston's land
clearing campaign. The final check
on the years results has been COM
pleted, and although Larry" fell ap-
proimately 5000 acres short in his
predicted goal of 10000 acres, the
land cleared the past year, neverthe-
less, represents four times as much
land as has ever been cleared in upper
Michigan during corresponding pc
riod. And that's something.
Although Delta county leads in the
total acreage cleared with 5000, first
honors for individual effort goes to
Alger county, with an additional 5.8
acres cleared, per farm. Gogebic
county is second with 81 additional
acres per farm, and Iron county third
with "A acres. The data was secured
in. various ways-through the rural
schools, the county agents, the super
visors, business men and through the
medium of farm -to-farm canvass,
in some sections, by the land-clearing
extension workers themselves.
This, however, is not the only rec
ord achieved by the land-clearing Sec
ton of the Michigan Agricultural
College extension division. There
were shipped into the upper pensinula
of Michigan last year, through this
medium, twenty-one carloads of pic.
ric acid, from surplus government
stock. The shipment represented 504,.
900 pounds Of acid, at an actual saw
ing to the farmers Of upper Michigan
Of s55,440.
In addition, there was shipped intt
upper Michigan last year.-1922-
nine carloads of commercial explos
ives, representing shipmemnt o.
l198,0O0 pounds, at saving to th'
farmers of $13.860.
