Copper Range Has Romance.

The story of Michigan's copper
mines is every bit as romantic and
interesting as any chapter of
world travel abroad. Familiar as
Wisconsin people are with the fact of
it's existence, surprisingly little is
known of the lives of the workers
and the processes by which the
worlds chief copper supply is oh
tanned
Examining the map of upper
Michigan one notes-or more likely
he hardly notices at all--the little
finger or peninsula pointing north
east into Lake Superior. The APP
parent peninsula is really an island.
Nearly so years ago this finger
started breaking away and formed
Portage river, which was later
dredged to a depth of AZ feet and
extended by canal to Lake
Superior on both the west and also
the east side. This extension is
called Portage entry on the east and
Portage ship canal on the west, and
thus Keweenaw peninsula became an
island.
Huge ships, mostly copper vessels,
have been passing through ever since
for this wonderful country is the
richest copper country in the world.
Much of the work is fraught with
dangers and none of it is entirely
without peril but in spite of all this
hundreds of men have worked under
ground for over 80 years, some 40
and even so. Those that worked
from 80 to 40 years are given gold
medal by the mining companies
those working from 20 to 80 years
receive silver medal. They receive
free medical care for themselves and
families, also free hospital care and
their homes are almost entirely rent
free with the exception of a small
charge for upkeep. Also water and
lighting is furnished free to those
living in houses owned by the mining
companies.
Their lives are not monotonous,
for these people enjoy outdoors
sports of all kinds. Nearly all the
inhabitants of the copper country
are expert skaters from the youngest
to the oldest.
Ski jumping and snow shooting are
also favorite winter sports The
air is clear and cold but not penetrat-
ing like the damp lake breezes which
regions.
In summer the wonderful roads
are delight to tourists as well as
the natives and at Portage lake there
is large bathing beach and a large
free camp for tourists. In winter
the lakes and hills remind one of
/ Switzerland and in the summer time
it is a veritable wonderland. Mil

Lest We FORGET

AS we turn from concentrating
the natal day of one to whom we give
credit for preserving the Union, we
pause again ito do honor to the first
national hero-he whose convictions
and determination won for the colon
les the right to their independence
and the chance to work out their own
salvation.
True Americans should welcome
the opportunity to do honor to
George Washington's memory be-
cause to his leadership of a cause
that triumphed in the face of over
whelming odds, we owe everything.
Washington's halo is not that of
martyr whose efforts were un-
availing, who strived in vain to right
wrongs. To those who view world
events in their proper historical per-
spective, without sentimentality and
with love of justice and freedom in
their breasts, the American Revolu-
ton fills the most encouraging page
in the history of the centuries.
But for most of US, it is only in
times of stress like those through
which we passed during the World
War and the reconstruction period,
that we can realize our exceptional
privileges as a nation and as individ-
uals. 1t is only after we have seen
the results of tyranny and the greed
of might and power, that we have
come to appreciate that which the
Father of our country made possible
| for US.
Since the world catastrophe, the
Declaration of Independence has a
clearar significance; we know, as we
did in former years, but did not fully
appreciate what it means to be free
and Independent states, removed
from the dominance of foreign pow
ers. We have come to a new sense
of appreciation of the constitution
of the United States and realization
that the trainers of that sacred doc
ument built wisely when they sought
to protect the rights of the minority
against the passing whims of the
majority.
And, so this year, Washington's
birthday should be no routine holi-
day, but a day of solemn reflection
over the debt that we can never re-
pay for the heritage of free people
that we enjoy.
Let us pay unstinted tribute to
him who made us a nation, the war
rior who cut the bonds of foreign
overlordship, the statesman who
babe us, avoiding entangling allianc-
es, to go our free way, an independ-
ent republic.
with malice toward none," said
Washingtons greatest successor
with charity for ALL" 1t was a
summing up of Washington's owr
political creed. No lost cause
however glorious with the blood OF
martyrs, seems more noble today
than the cause of American indepen,
dence.
+. 1t is our duty to cherish and pro
tect it and to give honor to whom
honor is due.-Ex.

THE RAPID ACE

We are living in an age that is
certainly quite fast; and We'll
have to pay the wage when the
palmy days are past. We are
forking out the dough in way
that is not slow--but when our
supply runs low, Wen be in the
hoosgow cast. We are buying
airplane tails and for flummydid-
dies spend; we are buying Spanish
veils-everything that man can
vend. And we do not heed the
price when we purchase chiffon ice,
canteloupes or pink-toed mice as we
on our Journey wend. We may
cuss the profiteer with an energetic
tongue: voice it forth in accents
clear that he should be drawn and
hung, when we are buying junk that
is useless, vain and punk, we've no
right to spout forth bunk when the
pay-up song is sung. Oh, it
seems to Uucle bud that we ought
to call halt; yes it is as clear as
mud that we are the ones at fault.

FLEECED OUT OF SAVINGS IN
STUD POKER GAME
Man Who Came to Hurley From
Chicago Brings Charges Against
City Hotel Proprietor.

That he was fleeced out or $1,000
in a stud poker game at the City
hotel is the charge made by Steve
Babanoo. who came to Hurley re-
Gently from Chicago, against the
proprietor Of the hotel, Steve
Knezevich. Babano claims that by
the use of marked cards Knezevich
was able to win Babano's life saw
ings in a few sittings at the game.
Knezevich was arraigned in
municipal court Monday on a charge
of violating the liquor laws, a
quantity Of moonshine and wine
having been confiscated by of
ficers when a raid was made on the
hotel following the charges made by
Babano. Knezevich was fined $500
and costs.
Later he was arrested on a
charge of conducting a gambling
game at his hotel and will have a
hearing on Feb q. The methods
used by the hotel proprietor in fleec-
ing the former Chicago man will
probably be brought out at this
hearing and it is possible that more
serious charges will be made against
Knezevich.

Leaving Old Age Behind

President Emeritus Charles w. Eliot
who is now In his ninetieth year, de-
clares that as the years go on he Is ap-
parently growing younger, and to
prove his point he tells the following
story:
When he was elected president Of
Harvard he was a young man In his
thlrties. During his first year in Office
while he was strolling through Har-
ward Square one evening he passed a
group Of freshmen and overheard one
of them say, There goes old Eliot
himself"
one light half a century later, on
returning to Cambridge from the Bos-
ton symphony concert. he heard a
senior behind him on the subway train
say 10 his companion, II wonder
what's keeping Charley up so late to-
night T'-Youth's Companion.

The imposition Of tax on for
eign words used by Italian hotels and
shops, followed by the attempts q: the
propriet0rs to avoid taxation by trans
lating ell-establlshed foreign words
and phrases into Italian equivalents
has been attended by great confusion
In many cases there are no Italian
equivalents for words like "bar,"
sport" coupon" check" "chlc,"
garage" and "hotel." AS to the last
the Italian word "albergo" means the
old-time Inn or tavern. The matter has
assumed such a serious aspect at
Milan that the hotelkeepers and chop
keepers have petitloned the govern
ment, with the help of a professor Of
languages, suggesting that after for.
eign word has been used for length
of time In the vernacular II ceases to
be foreign, hence many OF the words
taxed should be exempt.

Deductions for bad debts and con-
tributions, which are allowable under
the revenue act, form a considerable
item in the ineome-tax return of
many taxpayers. Bad debts can be
deducted only for the year in which
they are ascertained to be worthless
and charged of f the books of the
taxpayer. The return must show
evidence of the manner in which the
worthlessness of the debt was dis
covered and that ordinary and legal
means for collection have been or
would be unavailing.
Unpaid loans made to needy rela-
tives or friends With little or no ex-
pectation that they would be repaid
are not deductible but are regarded
as gifts.

In considering the influences that
tend TO disintegrate the home,
joy-riding, jazzing and movies are
sometimes mentioned, but never the
radio.
Radio brings the family together
around the fireside and even brings
the neighbcrs together to listen to
KDL and PDQ programs.
The moral influence of the radio
is to conserve the home and the
family life of the nation, with better
music, better spoken theatre plays
and opera.
A premium is placedon better song
artists and the better enunciation of
spoken language, which the Ameri-
can people are sometimes careless in
using

The German embassy flag incident
in Washington is not the only mis-
take Germany has made in the past
ten years.
1t makes very little difference
what the other fellow thinks of you
because he will not likely tell you,
but others.
People who find prosperity around
the corner have to know which
corner it is.
People who try to regulate the
morals Of others never have any
time to look after their own.
Everyone believes debts should be
paid promptly, especially if they are
coming their way.
Charity begins at home and il
ought to stay there awhile before
straying into new pastures.
