THE SITTING HABIT

Beware, my son, of the sitting habit,
Or if you sit be like the rabbit,
That. keepest ever on the jump
With springs concealed beneath his
rump;
For man was never made to sit in a
trance
And press and press and press his
pants,
But rather with nimble mind
To circulate among his kind.
And so, my son, avoid the snare
Which turks within the easy chair,
Fer to run like sin it will be found
Both feet must be upon the ground.

"The Little Church Around the
Corner" coming to the Pastime thea
tire Monday and Tuesday, is screen
adaptation from the well-known
stage play Of Charles Blaney. Claire
Windsor has the feature role and
heads an all-star cost.
The making of this picture by War
ner Brothers was done on stupend-
Gus scale and involved great ex-
pense of money. A mine was special
ly constructed at cost Of $4,000,
an exact reproduction of Pennsyl-
vania coal mine; so realistically was
it reproduced that it is said to deceive
even the practiced eye of mine engi-
neers. II is a workable mine save
for the fact that no coal beds are to
be found in the Hollywood lot ad-
joining the studio where the scenes
were taken.
"The Little Church Around the
Corner" is the story Of David Gra-
ham, who ministers to the poor, and
the girl he loves, Leila Morton. Leila
is the daughter Of millionaire mine
owner who refuses to Improve the
conditions of the workers. David is
thrown into quandary, being tempt
ed by his rich association to renounce
the poor, to whom his heart is bound.
A great strike, and mob in an ugly
mood, bring on dramatic climax;
so does an odd coincidence, by which
David is arrested for the murder Of
a man who was Leila's suitor.
1t is a picture in which "the course
of true love never runs smooth"

cludes Kenneth Harlan, Hobart Bos-
worth, Walter Long, Alec Francis,
Pauline Starke, George Cooper, Mar
garet Seddon, Winter Hall, and Cy-

TAKE OVER ALSTON MILL

The General Lumber company of
Milwaukee has purchased the Rubicon
Lumber company's plant att Alston.
Besides the saw mill, twenty million
feet Of standing timber was included
in the sale.
The saw mill is single band with
re-saw, the plant being in excellent
condition, being built two years ago.
The new owners will enlarge the
mill, add shingle and planning mill
and operate retail lumber yard at
Alston. They will also erect large
boarding house and ten cottages to
care for their help.
The Grand Rapids Trust company,
receivers for the Rubicon Lumber
company, sold the property.
Alston is located in Houghton coun-
ty, on the Mineral Range railroad, in
splendid timber and farming section
and will profit greatly by the trans
fer of this saw mill. A. splendid
growth and prosperity is seen for
this settlement.
E. M. Hannures will have the man
agement Of the plant.
The L'Anse sentinel., 1924-01-04

per cent of the lumber is being bought
from small timber tract owners, many
Of whom previously could find no way
Of marketing their lumber.
Using the smooth, packed snow in
the forests as a road for specially
equipped Fordson tractors with their
front wheels replaced by sled runners,
has eliminated most of their prob
lens.
When the logs are brought to the
Iron Mountain storage grounds, they
are piled in six great rows one and
one-half miles long next to parallel
railroad tracks. Four "clam shell"
hoists are used.
OF the lumber sawed in the three
Ford mills, eighty per cent is hard
wood-birch, maple and elm. At
present 100000 feet Of white pine
is being made into planks. These
will be used for fine pattern WORK and
chemical tanks.
Freight cars loaded at Iron Noun
tain are run across Lake Michigan by
car ferries. Four of these boats will
be kept busy continuously this winter
in an effort to prevent the freezing
over of channel in Green Bay.
The story Of the "clean up" work
of slashings and underground in the
Ford forests which aided in saving
them from disastrous upper peninsula
forest fires three months ago was
featured in daily newspapers all over
the world. This work is being con-
tinued to the fullest extent possible
serving triple purpose: reducing
forest fire hazards, saving Of lumber
which may be made into charcoal, and
encouraging growth of new trees.

The third number on the Redpath
entertainment course under the aus
pices of the L'Anse Odd Fellows, will
be presented at the L'Anse school
gym next Tuesday evening, commenc-
ing at 8:15 sharp, Vierra's Hawaiians
being the entertainers.
In the last few years number of
Hawaiian companies, so called, have
been touring the country purporting
to interpret the music of the South
Seas. The result is general hodge
podge Of jazz and vulgarity which
has been dubbed Hawaiian" The
makeup of such companies is general
ly not Hawaiian at all. Some Of them,
which have one Hawaiian of indif-
ferent ability are filled out with Fill
ipinos-an entirely different race, in
temperament and expression.
vierra's Hawaiians are genuine and
what is more, Vierra is the man they
are trying to initiate. 1t was Vierra
who brought musical Hawaii to
America. 1t was Vierra and the very
men he has with him now who set the
Western Coast wild over Hawaiian
music at the time he played during
the San Francisco Fair.

CARS MUST HAVE
new 1924 PLATES

Monday was the last day automo-
biles may be lawfully driven with
1923 license plates. The police offic-
ers, county and municipal, have been
instructed to strictly enforce the
laws governing the use of license
plates.
Upon instructions from the secre-
tary of state, the sale of the new
plates was withheld during the spec
ial session Of the legislature in con-
temptation of change in the regis
tration laws. This resulted in a de-
lay of several weeks over previous
years in starting the sale of plates.
When the certificate Of title to an
automobile is transferred by the or
iginal owner of an automobile to a
person purchasing the car, the latter
will not be able to procure 1924 Ii
cense plates by presentation of the
transferred certificate to the license
issuing officials.
License plates cannot, under the
law, be issued to person who has
purchased a car from its original
owner, until the new purchaser, to
whom the certificate Of title has been
transferred, has secured from the
secretary Of states Office, in Lansing,
a certificate of title in his own name.
This means that all assigned titles
must be mailed to Lansing with the
statutory fee of 81, whereupon IL
tie win be issued, and upon presenta-
ton Of this new title, license plates
may be issued from the branch Office.
No license plates will be issued by
the state for 1924 until a title not an
assigned title, is presented with the
owners application for registration,
except on new cars purchased from
dealers within ten days Of the pre-
sentation Of the applications.
The plates are on sale at the
(, Houghton National Bank, Houghton
which reports that sales have not been
heavy up to the present time.
