From here you may go into another
room filled with buzzing which any
one accustomed to electric machinery
will know they are in the Power
Plant. This power is developed by
five big generators operated by as
many steam turbine engines. A big
water power plant is in construction
on the Menominee River and when
finished this plant will be shipped to
L'anse to be used there.
am not prepared to state how
much power is developed and used in
this plant.
From here we went in the saw mill
where everything is made as modern
and as safe as any saw mill could be
made Everyone knows what a saw
mill is, so l need not go into detail
but standing there looking at the var
ious devices the accurate machines,
the wonderful smoothness which pre-
vailed, and the speed these poor logs
that for so many years stood as kings
of the forest were being converted
into Shall | say useful machinery or
uses? | was filled with awe. will con
fess though | had no sentiment regard
ing the logs, my only thought was to
give tribute to the inventive power of
man who made all this possible.
Directly connected with this mill is
the lath mill where every available
foot of lumber is d-after viewing
all these things and giving tribute
to their workers we passed on to the
Body Plant"
This branch is known to the saw
mill men as the Mad House" 1t is
more than useless for me to try to
explain the intricate machines seen
here but l was not here long until l
understood why it was so named, for
men stood here and there placing
small pieces of hard wood into mach
ines that going forth sounds quite be-
yond my poor powers of description
but | have some little conception of
that extravagant expression. "Warb-
lings of Lost Soul Here however,
the lumber is all cut up shaped, and
made up in the various parts required
It is tied in bundles and shipped right
from these buildings several box cars
stand ready to receive them as they
are finished.
The lumber previous to being sent
to the body plant is piled on steel
cars and pushed into the dry kilns
where green lumber is dried in TWEEN
ty-four hours
The last building we went through
was the Maintenance building which
is used as big warehouse containing
any thing that may be required in the
plant. The walls are all made of glass
small houses in steel sash and ap-
peared like gigantic greenhouse. So
ended our inspection
AS to figures | was informed the
saw mill averaged 100000 every TWEEN
ty-four hours.
The body plants are 100 it. wide and
$50 #. long. There are three of these
plants and they expect to build nine
others in the spring.
There are $500 men on the pay roll
at Iron Mountain.
The work under construction now
is as follows:-A large building for
finished cars, big boiler building
that will house the new oil burning
boiler to be installed as soon as fin
ished.
A chemical plant, blast furnace
and charcoal kilns. | was informed
Ford owns 5000 acres here at Iron
Mountain. He owns 5000 at Detroit,
10000 acres of hardwood timber south
of L'Anse.. Do you agree with me as
to the future of this section of the
country?

SHAKING HANDS

YIHEN Governor Bryan got home Nebraska the New
" York convention With the Democratic vice presidential
nomination dangling from his belt the folks home gave him
cordial reception and called for a speech
Governor Bryan spoke of conclusion of his
few remarks he invited everybody up
with himself and Mrs Bryan And there newspaper story
ends doesn tell Brother Charley shakes hands so the
story is incomplete.
Shaking hands is habit-sometmes good one but often
bad one Some grasp your hand firmly it as if
they meant it. Others might well hand you of liver
to hold for a few seconds.
President Coolidge shakes hands efficiently If you happen
to be IN line with others marching by hands with the
President calm and cautious Calvin hold your hand and
yank you right along your way and then the
next victim behind you and gives him the treatment
There shake about it. It's merely efficiency method
applied to an ancient formay Coolidge helps you through
the ceremony about like Henry Ford system rushes tin Lizzie
through the factory If he didn't apply efficiency to hand
shaking much valuable presidential time be lost You
might stop and chat least try say hello or good
ing; and that takes time.
80 you are firmly helped way and go back home
and say you shook hands with the Prsdenathough you did
no such thing And got about of thrill out of it
as you got when you kissed your aunt That is Won
Kept cool with Coolidge And you come to think of the
foolish Misunderstanding habit you the President for
getting the fool ceremony quickly with as little
waste of energy as possible.

Here is a friendly tip in general to why this

Women holding office to date have made uncomfortable
They're spoiled that delicious spirit of camaradere that

Let the politician stop spelling the party Let her
smoke if she enjoys smoking and does it home If she

that she doesn expect others in the like sed

Hair Cuts
Rv HAL COCIRAN


Who do you see I'M the every day
p'rade that leads to the old barber
chair? There's mother and sister
and grandmother, staid; and sonny,
quite often is there.
Nom goes for a cut that is stylish;
her hair to fashion, it seems, is a
slave. And then she will patiently
sit in the chair while they hand her
a permanent wave.
The barber shouts next" and then
grandmother hops. She dreams of
her sweet-sixteen day. And, thus,
you will find, when the barber man
stops that her tresses are bobbed
half way.
Comes sonny running; his pa
thence is weak, for he is a play-seek-
ing soul There's many time from
the BARRIERS he'll sneak. Then Nom
cuts his wool with a bowl.
When sister gets in she's exact as
can be Ger the way that her head
of hair hangs. She faces the mirror
so she can see how the barber is
cutting her bangs. y
We almost forgot ABOUT baby and
dad but they ne'er to the barber
are hauled. Perhaps they have rea-
son enough to be glad. for Pop and
the infant are bald.

Science

Not many years ago, insane per-
sons were chained to the stone wells
of dungeons and abused and tortured.
Although progress has been made,
the treatment of mentally diseased
or defective persons today is recog-
nized by science as one of the worst
blots on the record of civilization.
People frequently are thrust
across the line between sanity and
insanity by harshness or wrong
treatment Many persons are sent
to insane asylums who should not
be there. but who SOON become &C
tually insane amid terrible surround
ings. This class needs treatment.
but should not be locked up. They
are mentally sick. but not Crazy"
A new institution in Paris known
as the Service of st. Anne, is the
pioneer in the scientific treatment of
persons suffering from mental af-
Fiction. Attendance is entirely vol
untary and no restraint is used as
to the time of departure. The re-
suit is that persons suffering from
mental trouble go there for treat
ment as they would go to a hospital
in case of a broken leg. A distinct
feature of this idea is the absence
of the baroness and monotony of
the usual hospital and asylum. The
rooms and corridors are gally dec
GRATED and everything possible is
done to create a sense Of well-being.

THE TELESCOPE AND SPEC
TROSCOPE PROVE POLARIS TO
BB A MIGHTY SUN WITH
THREE COMPANION SUNS.
great stellar catastrophe We would
not know it for sixty years.
For sixty years after it had disap-
peared we would stin see its shin
ing image in the sky and be able to
tell the true north by that image.
The telescope reveals the fact that
Polaris is really a double star hav-
ing very faint companion of duh
blue color. This companion star is
invisible to the unaided eye.
And the spectroscope reveals the
fact that Polaris has two other com
panion stars which are so close to it
that not even the telescope will re-
veal them.
So when you gaze at Polaris you
are really looking at a system Of
four stars which appear to the eye
as one star.
The reason that Polaris is the
north star is because a line projected
into the heavens from the north pole
of our earth would reach the heav-
ems at the point where Polaris is
situated.
But scientists have proved that
our earth doesn't rotate smoothly on
it's axis, but wabbles just a little.
The axis Of the earth Is slowly shift
ing it's position. The result is that
the line drawn from the north pole
into the sky makes a little circle
there. The shift Of the earth's axis
is so slow that it takes 5000 years
to complete the whole circle.

Nature

The cartoonist who caricatures the
earth map as a living person, with
legs, or with grinning or frowning
face, only carries out an ancient
pagan belief. The Egyptians, 5000
years ago, symbolized it as sphere
with human legs. Even today, GER
tain Hindu sects believe that the
earth is a living being.
Sound-making vibrations in the air
stimulate the organs in our ears,
which in turn carry the vibrations
to our brain and thus we hear" the
sounds. When the shock, or sound,
sends off less than sixteen vibrations
in a second we don't hear it, nor
can we hear it if the sound makes
more than 10000 vibrations per sec

E-3 ASHINGTON, July 10. In
MI spite of the fact that the
agricultural and building sea
sons are at their height. thousands
of laborers in all parts of the coun-
try are out of work, with no imme.
date prospect of relief.
This condition is indicated by re-
ports to the United States Depart.
ment of Labor from their district
directors in all parts of the country.
The Middle West and South are
the only sections not having a large
labor surplus. Nebraska is the only
State in these divisions with more
laborers than she needs. although all
others have sufficient men to handle
the harvest.
Coast Most Serious
Conditions are most serious on the
Pacific coast. where the foot anc
mouth disease. the widespread
drought and curtailment of the Jun
Der industry have caused an abnor
NAL condition, throwing thousands
out Of work.
In every part Of the country build
ing is proceeding on a large scale
and all labor skilled in this line j:
employed Road construction is
furnishing work to large numbers
who have been thrown out of en-
ployment in the other industries.
Throughout the Eastern industrial
centcrs. at least 80 per cent Of the
factories are running on part time
schedules, and 1t has proved almost
impossible for those employed or
this scale to find additional work
Steel. manufacturing, iron and auto
mobile industries all showed q de
cline In the past month.
Farmers Delayed
In Ohio. rain nearly every day In
June delayed farmers. and farm
laborers will not be needed there
until later than the normal time
Utah and Nevada are getting part
OF the Pacific Coast surplus and are
not sue eeding in absorbing it.
Montana needs experienced miners
but in the East the oituminous GOA
industry has beer curtailed, leaving
thousands without work.
No prediction of improvement
forthcoming is made by any of the
labor offices reporting.

THE POINTERS" SHOW THE
WAY TO POLARIS.
A line drawn through these two stars
leads us directly to the north star
Like the stars in the Great Dip
per, Polaris is a second magnitude
star. That is, it is not among the
group of brightest stars in the sky
but among the group of next bright
est ones But there are no very
bright stars very near Polaris and
so there is no danger of confusing
him with any other star.
Polaris is white in color, but with
a slight yellowish tinge.
Astronomers believe that Polaris
is actually about the size of our sun.
Consequently ii would have a tliam-
cter Of about $685. 900 miles But it
appears so small TO US because it is
so fan away

more than sixty years to get from
