Michigan and Ontario, in the heart
of the continent, paralleling areas Of
two great nations and each Graded by
the Great Lakes-Michigan Superior,
Huron, Erie and Ontario-are play
grounds of the Western Hemisphere
with vacation interest for people of
every turn of mind, according to the
American Automobile Association:
Tucked in by these vast bodies OF
water, both Michigan and ontario
literally swim in lakes of their own,
with myriads of winding and beautiful
streams, thousands of inclosed islands,
a vast spreading area of North Woods
and great fruit belts and expanses OF
fertile farming country. Their roads
that are unexcelled lead the way to
every vacation pleasure whether it be
the 10y of the angler, the delights OF
the water sportsman, the lure Of yacht
ing and magnificent resorts. or the sim
pier pleasures of the camper and the
seeker after natures wild beauty.
Michigan has been called the darling
of the inland seas. It's western shore is
Tapped by Lake Michigan. At its north
where the two great peninsulas that
form the State-the upper and lower
peninsulas-send their arms out into
these unsalted seas is Lake Superior.
Adown its eastern side is Lake Huron.
And then as a matter Of simple fact
Lake Erie touches, though but briefly,
at the southeastern tip. Over its bosom
are spread 5000 lakes, left there by the
glaciers that moved over its surface
centuries ago. The gentle flow of many
short rivers threads its face. 1t has no
mountains and few real hills. On the
Superior shore are rocks and barrens
and vast reaches of dense, deep woods.
the North Woods. Spread all down its
center and along its southern edge are
the farm and fruit lands.
Michigan is noted as health resort
State. Lying above the Summer heat
belt, it is famed by winds from the
Great Lakes and breezes from its inland
waters. She air is tonic.
Michigan has a splendid system of
highways Even where paved roads

Harbor and st. Joseph, Is q mecca for
a hundred thousand tourists. All
through the section in blossom time the
air is heavy with perfume. Vineyards
and acres of Towering trees-apple,
peach, pear, plum and cherry-make 1t
a fairyland.
Along the western shore, where Lake
Michigan smiles and Is sometimes tur-
bulent, are billowing sand dunes and
snowy beaches and some of the finest
Summer resorts in the country-at
Benton Harbor, ST. Joseph, South
Haven, Saugatuck, Grand Haven and
Ludington. spreading northward up the
lake coast-an inland Riviera. From
Manistee to st. Ignace and the Straits
of Mackinac is another stretch of shore
resorts-Frankfort Northporte, Traverse
City where Traverse Bay dips down,
Charlevoix, Harbor Springs, Mackinaw
City and the Mackinac Islands-a
tanglewood of paradise on the brink
of the great lake, with its countless
bays. offshore lakes and innumerable
islands. From all of these the lake path
of great steamers stretches across to
Chicago and the Wisconsin ports.
All around the Upper Peninsula comes
another magnificent stretch of shore
land, more rugged in character, with
more vigorous climate, greater majesty
of scenery, an imperishable wilderness
of fir-trimmed lake, cascading stream,
huntsman's hill, opal beach and haze

here more steamers pass than through
the Panama Canal, the great vessels OF
the inland seas.
This Upper Peninsula, an arm of
land that seems to break off from the
northern edge of Wisconsin and extend
eastward, has Lake Superior for its
northern border, Lake Ontario at its
eastern tip, Lake Huron at its south
eastern edge. and the northern pocket
of Lake Michigan for its southern
boundary. The Straits of Mackinac
lead from Lake Michigan into Lake
Huron, and the 800" from Ontario
into Superior.

are noted cities on the rugged Superior
shore, northern resorts that are re-
nowned.
Down the eastern edge of the Lower
Peninsula, after the Mackinac Straits,
from Cheboygan to Detroit, on the
Huron shore, is a more placid region,
which yet offers everything the vaca-
zionist may desire in its varied char
acter. Beautiful resort cities lie in
between, Alpena, Bay City, where
Saginaw Bay, largest of the inland
bays in this region, dents in from Lake
Huron, Harbor Beach and Port Huron.
Between them are sequestered, serene
spots where one may camp and enjoy
that sport supreme, fishing, or idle
lazy days swimming, boating, canoeing,
or have the choice of numerous simple
resorts, as one will.
Inland is the farming country and
the great industrial centers that have
made the name of the State household
word. One inland city, Battle Creek, is
one of the most widely advertised cities
in the world, because of its health
resort and health foods. Detroit is the
world center of the automobile industry.
Near it is the home of Henry Ford, O
magnificent show place.
Michigan has heritage OF history
Joliet, Marquette, Champlain and others
of that famous band of French ex-
plorers are names on its scroll. Famous
old forts lie in ruins there. Some of
the Indian races of its early days still
cling to the land. There is tradition
that the Indians feel that Michigan is
still their land, that the white people
have only borrowed it.
The very name of Ontario suggests
myriad lakes and rivers, unspoiled
forest and wilderness, rolling hills and
cooling winds-a land of glorious out
doors which provides vacation enjoy
ment in infinite variety. The province
has a sweep of ! 900 miles east to west,

Vacation resorts are everywhere, since
at no point in the province are the in

Niagara Falls is world renowned as

touring objective of constant interest,
For sheer beauty and scenic wonder
combined with practical and historic
interest. 1t Is doubtful If any other spot
in the world surpasses 1t. To many the

nowned cataract. In reality it covers
district 20 by 40 miles in size, Just
across the international boundry in
Canada, a peninsula that lies between
Lakes Erie and Ontario, which presents
hundreds OF features Of varied interest.
There is the Falls itself, one of ma

stupendous panorama, beautiful and
awe-inspiring as seen from either the
American or Canadian side. And there
is the famed whirlpool" where a sharp

The Legislatures Meet

Legislatures in most of the states are Tn ses- sion this winter. They will hear many long and windy debates. but it is estimated they will enact 10000 new laws before they go home. Many real needs for legislation will be presented. They will also be pestered by cranks and one idea people, who want laws embodying their pet notions, which they think will reform human society. The American people have been making laws faster than they have been learning to obey them Some degree of caution in making new ones is called for, or our statute books will become volumes of pious but futile advice, which peo- pie do not respect.
 The founders of our government looked upon these legislatures as bodies of gerat inn portance, made up of the wsest people of their home communities. It was supposed that they would meet citizens selected for their virtues and superior wisdom. and show a high degree of forest ght in meeting the needs of the times. The legislative bodies of but few of the states have been able to live up to that ideal. However, most of the folks who criticize would do no b ter in their place.
 It will help somewhat. if good citizens gen. orally will take an interest in the work of these lawmakers. The home town folks should talk over the problems of the state with their repre- sentatves at every opportunity. They should learn from the lawmakers the difficulties that the people confront and offer their own sug- gestions as to how these problems can be met If the people seem to take but little interest in these legislative activities, their indifference IS d demorallzlng influence. The state that exer eises no watchful supervision over its repre- sentatves will come out about like the buSl- ness that lets it's employees go as they please.
