- ANNUAL PREPARATIONS j TO FIGHT PENINSULA , FIRES ARE BEING MADE

(By Associated Press) C ALT" MET, Mich., May 30. The upper peninsula .is making: its annual preparations to combat forest fires. Having in mind the disastrous conflagrations of other years, leaders in tho conservation crusade have year by year obtained additions to the appliances ued in discovering and fighting forest blazes and this season vrill be in a better position than ever to cope with this elenjent. Perhaps the most notable step taken this year is the procuring of two newfire towers, one to be placed on an Hevation north of the Delaware location in Keweenaw county, and the other at Donken in Elm River township. The towers, 65 feet in height, and of the four standard type, have arrived and will be erected at once. All other towers in the peninsula have been of the three standard type. Install Modern Equipment Each tower is to be equipped with thft most modern appliances, including : telephones, high power field glasses and other necessary articles Men in these towers, by means of the glasses, i will be able to see for miles and discover little wisps of smoke that reveal small fires, which if unchecked, would soon become roaring furnaces and sweep vast tracts of valuable tim- . ber. Fire wardens patrolling the forests will keep in close touch with the towers by telephone. Another precaution that will be tak- " on is the keeping of a considerable force of men within easy call of the tower. Men in charge of the stations will live close by, in order that they inay devote their entire timf to the i ask. Assistants will be selected from , farming communities nearby in order ' that a force of men close at hand . will be available when needed. Prevention of forest fires is a funci tion of the state conservation depart- ! ment at Lansing, and rapid strides have been taken in this direction in , recent years. Hundreds of thousands , of dollars worth of valuable timber ' and many lives have been lost during ' lires in the north country and the problem of preventing them has come to be one in which every person in the district is vitally interested. D. 0, TRISSEL FILES ANSWER TO CHARGE GREENVILLE, Ohio, May 30. D. O. Trissel of Neave township, has filed an answer to the suit for $125.75 damages filed by Arthur Nealeight in common pleas court against him a short time ago. The suit is the result of an automobile accident which occurred on a pike near Savona March 26, and Trissel . denies each and every allegation made by Nealeigh, and asks that his petition be dismissed and held for naught. Hurt in Accident. In an automobile accident that occurred shortly after the close of Palais Garden Saturday night one lady was badly cut and two others received minor injuries. The accident occurred near the corner of North Main street and North Broadway, and was caused by the driver of the car losing control of the machine, and instead of maltfng the turn at the corner of North Main and North Broadway, the car sped on and crashed into a telephone pole and curb near the Mike Maher residence.

An intensive campaign of education as to 'food value of milk and its various uses, has been launched by Shelbyville milk producers, in an effort to increase milk consumption. Producers, in co-operation with the county agent, are furnishing the newspapers with educational material and advertisements regarding milk. An ordinance also has been introduced in tho city council, with the support of the dairymen, requiring all cows supplying milk to city consumers, to have passed a certain tuber0 ( ular test, and providing for inspection of th? sources of supply. "Alter Your Child's Bath Mothers Should Use Sykes Comfort Powder," says Nurse Soper Peekskill. N. Y. " I am sending you the picture of a dear little boy on whom 1 have used fcykes Comfort Powder with wonderful results. In my work as a nurse I have never found any powder so soothing and healing When used daily after a baby's bath it keeps the skin free from chafing, rashes, scalding and soreness. There if nothing like it." Mrs. Sadie A. Soper, Nurse, Peekskill, N. Y. The reason Sykes Comfort Powder is successful in such cases is because it contains six healing, antiseptic ingredients not found in ordingry talcums.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

If you have driven west over tha Green'3 Fork-Hagerstown pike within a week, and have slowed down at the John Bunnell White Leghorn farm, you noted, of course, that the green grass plots were all starred with white chickens. The landscape seems alive with them, from full grown birds

to the chicks running in and out of5? en of, this ',eek' but nal ou!

the brooder house, which form an east to west to the rear of the home enclosure. John says he is raising fewer chickens than usual this year but will have an many as he cares to winter. The Bunnell home stands on the north side of the road, facing to the south. To the east of the driveway the visitor who is looking for flow ers rather than chickens, will discover a blaze of color. There are long rows of beautiful flowering plants bordering the drive, notably a choice assortment of Peonies, intermingled with that miracle of the East, the Oriental . Poppy. Right now the flowers are at their loveliest and hundreds of the great bloom3 were used on Sunday to decorate the graves of the loved and lost in tender remembrance, and still more were used on Memorial day. Mr. Bunnell's idea is not merely to be known as a purveyor of baby chicks, or the raiser of show birds, but as the owner of an egg farm. His birds are bred for laying and in ordinary circumstances he has found his best market in New York City. But New York prices have slumped under tremendous receipts this spring and he has recently quit shipping east. While it is true that the chalk-white egg of the industrious Leghorn commands a premium in New York City, just as do the big brown egg in the aristocratic clubs and homes of Boston, still, shippers of white eggs have not found the New York market quite as profitable since early April, as in western prices have not been so large as usual. j Rain in Sheets j The Walnut Level country and! Green's Fork bottoms, had a full! share of the rain which fell late on I Friday afternoon. For a few hours I the low lands were flooded," but no real damage was done except the ! washing out of a culvert here and ' there, perhaps, and another delay in getting in the last of the corn crop.!

It is in the heading out stage and one can almost see it grow from day today. And that isn't all. Of course there are thin spots but in the main it is a most promising crop.

This being Memorial day there is no market, and nothing of much importance can happen on Wednesday, the May deal being practically settled at this time.

It has been published that Secretary J Wallace promises to resign from the cabinet in nrntpst if th hnrrnii of markets, roads and forestry are transferred from his depaj-tment. ConThe Tribune has not, as yet, a well defined opinion, but we do take sharp issue with the proposal to transfer the bureau of forestry to the interior department.

They have been a crop in Europe for centuries, regular but restricted cuttings being made, and a TOASTED CORN FLAKES Also makers of 'A THE TVT A

regular profit taken from the forests without depreciating their value. But until recent years we have cut and burned with devastating thoroughness. Now the rising price of lumber and freight have taught us that a tree is worth raising to maturity, that young trees are worth conserving, and that there is potential profit in planting new trees on ground otherwise useless. Conclusive evidence of the value of trees as a crop is contained in the 6 per cent dividends returned to the government on its investment

in national forests under the eeks law." " Let Well Enough Alone "The department of agriculture is the proper place for centralization of authority on crop growing. It has the confidence of the farmer and of other potential tree growers. It has devel oped experts in forestry, in tree disj eases, in tree culture, in 'scientific i cutting, in soils and climate, and all the other things essential to forestation and reforestation. There appears no good reason why this organization should be broken down and a new one built up under the department of the interior.
