WEDNESDAY, DECEMDER 28, 191(3. THE CALUMET HEWS. 1910 This year lmH bwn n sore llfaj.i.itit ni nt to many of us ve ,n hoped our financial 111, if Ml alone, would cure thcus, Yves rliiht speedily. Uut the sickness was in. no serious than wc t!i.,iiKht un.l now we have culled In good Doctor Time, the family physician who In the past has always polled s thr-ainli. Doctor Tim. b'rini;s with him a specialist In nervous diseases of world-wide reputa tion. E. Conomy, M. I. Togi-thcr they have diagnosed the case and have promised that If wo will follow the course of treatment pre scribed for the year we will surely recover and in a year from today will l,e upon our feet again. Dr. E. Conomy is prescribing a drug which he rails 'Savings-Habit." It la a great success and has cured millions of rases. It Jias Buved whole nations from distraction. The treat ment isn't pleasant to take at first, but you get used to it after a while and then you rather like it. In order to help the universal spread of this great remedy the First National Itank of Calumet has provided all the necessary apparatus to dispense the drug. Von can't afford to be without It. Itemembcr it has preventive as well as curative properties. Our New Dreadnoughts The two newest dreadnoughts of the fiiilcd States navy are to bear the nanus of New York and Texas. This would appear to be appropriate, the Empire slate being the largest in pop ulation 'iid the Jone Star state the greatest in area. Owing to the fact that two vessels of the navy bear these names, niie will lie renamed Manhattan, after the Island on which the city of New Yot'k is bilt. and the other San Marcos, in honor of a pros perous city In Texas. The old New York battleship was the flagship of Hear Admiral Sampson lit the battle of Santiago. The present Texas is the oldest artnored .ship of the navy, barring three or four double turret "monitors," whose keels were la hi back in the '70s, and which, if in commission at all, are ho merely as Heating batteries nnd port guardsbips. When the Texas was authorized by congress, back In the '80s, naval con struction was at so low an ebb in the I'nitcd StatoH that those then in authority thought it necessary to buy her plans from an Knglish designer. The experiment was never repeated, fnr early after being put in commis sion she was In all kinds of trouble; in fact, she got the reputation of being a "hoodoo ship." Hut in the Spanish Ainerhan war she redeemed her repu tation at Santiago under Captain Phil lip. It was from her quarter deck tluit her captain, when the fleet had been destroyed under Rear Admiral Schley and the hijks were burning. 1911 GAND!

HERBflANN'S -ESJ55Eassr SBM admonished his crew not to cheer "for tlo.se poor fellows are dying." In the naming or vessels of the navy It might be well to preserve the names of historic ships associated in the his tory or the I'nitcd Slates or with gal lant deeds or seamen. There Is a bat tleship Kearsarge, recalling the long ( base and the victorious tight o(T Cher bourg, Prance, that put an end to the hostile cruiser Alabama, for furnishing v. hiclt p.nvjand had to pay $ 1 .'..(hmi.ooo. Parragut's Hartford still survives as a training ship for future admirals. There is also the old constitution, "old Iron shies." now at Charhstown navy ard, saved by Oliver Wendell Holmes' poem. With the Constitution there ought to lie on the navy list a Ciano and a Iivant, in memory of "old Iron side's" double captains, through one of the most remarkable feats of seamanship on record. There should be a Niagara and a Saratoga, In memory of Perry's flagship on like Krie and of MacDonougn's on Lake Champlain. There should also be a Macedonian as well as an Intrepid, to recall the deeds of Stephen Iecature, the most fearless man of the American navy. There should be a Constella tion, not only In memory of the fam ous frigate, but also a little Jarvls, her heroic midshipmen, the America boy whose valor caused the congress of the United States to lay upon his grave the garland of a formal resol ution of thanks and praise. The I'nitcd States sstem in naming its naval vessels, battleships for states, cruisers for cities and torpedo boats for naval officials, is different from that of any nation in the world. Kng land conveys the Idea of power in naming her big sea fighters. The "Dreadnought," the "Lion," the "In vincible" are some of thhe names by which thhey are christened. Germany runs to honoring the royal family, France Its patriots and Italy the crown. The policy adopted by the I'nitcd States is both convenient and com mendable for it arouses a just pride in the communities In the achieve ments of vessels named for them. While building a new navy, adding two battleships a year, the achieve ments of the old navy ought not to be forgotten, nor that of the names of old ships, that are memorials of victories won In many battles on the high Beas. Misplaced Rapture. To show the absurdity of Sweden borg's Ideas, the preacher drew a graphic account of the supposed Swe denborglan heaven, with beautiful fields, fine horses, cows, etc. In the midst of his glowing description one of the sisters went Into raptures, and shouted: "Glory, glory, glory!" "Hold on there, sister!" said the preacher, "you're shouting over the wrong Leaven!" Success Magazine. Until further notice the Glass P.lock Store will close as follows: Mondays at 8 o'clock.

A fine program of songs and literary numbers Is being prepared. some of the best entertainers in Calu met having been secured for the pro gram.

This Is because the ordeal, which this order of women has 1een ipasslng through for months, will not le at an end until the dawn of the New Year draiws the curtain over the trials and lobulations ot the past. New Year's Iay for them will bring truly a new year of sunshine and happiness. Since this Intelligent organization of win,rn bravely faced the task last June of readjusting Its rates of in surance. ti:ie ofllcers have labored day and night to make plain to their CS, O(U) members In iMjchigan. the self evident fact that adequate rates should Ik? adopted for the future. Thev had to cciml'iat the fallacious argu nu nt that "the society liad grown big and jKiid every dollar of Its $3,000,- 000.00 obligation as it came duo for the past 25 years and therefore could continue to do so in the future." It was difficult to make members un derstand that rates of Insurance In the past were Inadequate. How all these conditions iwere Anal lv straightened out Is a matter c-f history. The obstacles were overcome, however. It is now known for a cer tainty that the L, O. T. M. -M. will be gin the New Year with a very large proportion of Its old members on the membership roll, which will insure the permanency of the order; with a lot of "dead tim'ber" removed and a large cash surplus on hand to guarantee the payment of all obligations Wthen the New Year comes around the olhcers and -members of this so clety may well congratulate them selves on the successful accomplish ment ct a task that would stagger the utmost efforts of even unan himself!

Who knows? iaurium D epartment Jj WINS IN LAST FIVE MINUTES MOHAWK DEFEATS CALUMET HOCKEY TEAM 4 TO 2 IN GAME HERE LAST EVENING. Mohawk, last season's champions of tho Copper Country Hockey league, de feated the Calumet seven last night at the Palestra by the score of 4 to 2. The Ice was a little soft, and play at times was somewhat slow. On the whole, however, the game was a very satis factory and Interesting exhibition. The match was a 2 to 2 tie up to within five minutes of tho call of time. Mohawk then took a brace, and Chaput scored twice In quick succession, win ning for his te am. One of the features was tho work of P.lll Oray In goal for Calumet. His work was of a high-class order. He stopped a perfect rain of -shots, and the goals that were made on him would aot have been stopped by a pro fessional hockey tender. Mahan played a splendid game at cover point for Calumet, while Rey nolds and Hateman worked together nicely In the center. Kaiser on the right wing, also was In excellent form, but tho work of Cameron on the left was overshadowed by that of St. (leorge. Of the Mohawk seven Paul Hogan was the bright and shining light. He covered the point position brilliantly. Nothing got past him. Williams at cover was a little too light, but did well nevertheless. Chaput once more proved his usefulness as rover. He skated font throughout, and was always dan gerous when In an attacking position. Some of his shots were marvels of ac curacy, nnd with a less competent man than Oray In goal, would have counted on several occasions. Uksila at center Is a perssltent little player, always at tho puck, and playing the game ns it should be played. He passed on all oc casions, and assisted in combinations that helped win the game for his side. Cameron scored the first goal after 23 minutes of strenuous hockey, shoot ing from a scrimmage close up. The game then see-sawed up nnd down un til St. George skated down and bang ed the puck home for Mohawk's first goal. The half ended with the, score 1 to 1. The game had only born resumed half a minute when Kaiser shot a goal from the right wing, which Klnzel had no chance of stopping. After about eight minutes of play Brewer secured the rubber in mid-ice and shot true, Bgain tying up the score. The game then developed into a fast one, both teams trying to score the winning goal. It was not until tho last five minutes of the game that Mohawk se cured the upper hand. Then Chaput drove home two goals in succession, and the game was over. Each team was given three penal ties. St. Oeorge was put off twice and Hogan once for Mohawk, while Pate man, Hermann and Kaiser graced the bench for the locals. Carlos Haug, of Houghton, refcreed nnd made a most efficient official.
