That it pays to read Sentinel ads
was manifest most emphatically last
week, A farmer livint- way up in the
north part of the county saw J. E.
Goodman's ad legardlng a harvester

Sentinel mentioned.
Wm. T. Mummery, state factory inspector of the fifth district, was in the

about machinery, as wili reduce to a
minimum the possibility of accident
or loss of life of employees.
Wouldn't you have a nice town if

for citizens and reject alii other??
TttOW lovely it would be. But when It
Wai fill in running order and the
neighbors    all    took   a vote,  they
migulTciccide that the town would be
improved if you were out ot it. Had
not thot of that, when you were criticising your neighbors, had you?

The Sentinel is enjoying a healthy
boom in its circulation these days, and
a good deal of the credit for this boom
can be given to our rural correspondents, who, by their large weekly

tinel the most popular paper it the
county. Just glance over the. correspondence In this issue, gentle reader,
then compare it with other local
papers.

Ye scribe accepted an invitation and
spent Sunday in HerSey with Mr. and

rendered the company they promoted
him to a much" better position, lie
purchased a home ou the banks of
Hersey creek jnst below the dam, and
the yard being spacious, well shaded
and covered with a profusion of flowers
they certainly have an ideal home.

Among those whose names are mentioned for theimportant office of State
Sup't of Public Instruction on the- republican ticket for next year, is that
of Prof, Delos Falls, of Albion. Prof.
Fall is one of the best know educators
of the state, a man who has given the
best years of his" life to educational
work, and certainly is qualified in
every way to perform the duties of the
office. With the oducabional matters
of the state in the hands of one of his
long and varied experience, the educational department certainaly would
not suffer.
H. N. Tillitson, employe on the F.
& P. M. section, met with an accident
Monday, which, but for his presence
of mind, might have resulted fatally.
He was standing on the side track just
at the end of an empty box car, when
another car was kicked down against
the standing car. He was knocked
sprawling in ihe middle of the track
the tore trucks passed over him. He
rolled as near to the rail as possible
that the break attachment might not
catch him, and as soon as the fore
trucks passed over him he reached up
and catching hold of the truss rods
dragged along until the car came to a
stop. He was'quite badly bruised
about the shoulder but not seriously
injured.    .
Perhaps no one firm in America does
a more extensive business than Montgomery, Ward & Co., of Chicago. And
why is this so? Simply because they
advertise, and not so'much because of
the excellence of the goods they put
out. Last week one Of the special} advertising cars of this firm passed thru
Clare, and this Was only one of the
many cars tliey have constantly on the
road. It costs mints of mpney to do
the amount of advertising they do,
butthey get ten fold returns, A business man who knows how to write an
ad, is the man who never quits business until he is ready to retire with a
bank account sufficiently large to
relieve him from want during the remainder of his days.
A fellow was around Monday taking orders for enlarging pictures, and
knowingly violating one of the city
ordinances. Marshal Palmertou arrested him and being brought before
Justice Carpenter, plead guilty and
was fined $8.25 Including costs. He
thot h3 could furiiish bonds and have
the matter carried to superior courts
thus determining the constitutionality of the ordinance, but failing to do
this and himself being somewhat
troubled with the "shorts," at once
made inquiry as to the accommodations found at the city bastile. A
happy thot came to him at this stage
of the game. He had a friend who
proved himself a friend in need. The
$8.25 was deposited with the marshal
and the fellow left town feeling that
he had indeed been surrounded by die-
tracting conditions.

WHAT WILL BE SEEN
Some   of    the   Attractions   That
Come to Saginaw next Month.
The following from the Dayton
Daily Times give some idea of the
magnitude and extent of the big show
whicn the Elks present to trie people
of northern Michigan next month,,
Ahgust 14 to 19.
"The Midway was in full blast, the
exhibits perfect, and the 'fair, as a
whole, was a picture.
"Throngs of men, women and children moved along in apparently huge
bunches, from one booth to another,
from one theater to the next, into
Hagenbeck's, the blue tent, the street
of India, or resting under the cool
shade of the trees in Library Park and
surrounding ice cream and cake, soft
rinks or fruits.
"It was good to be there but Was
worth many times the admission to
see the gaily, decorated booths, to
stroll up and down the Midway and
watch the crowds of peqple enter the
theaters, to listen to the men with
the loud voices (if you don't see what
you expect, your money back); the
children—some of them full grown
children—riding the elephants
and tho camels and' the sabred
burros. It is worth alone many times
the price of the admission to sit along
the Midway and watch the crowds
and actresses and dark skinned foreigners and fortune tellers; to see
Chiquita, Phileon, the hairy girl, the
six-legged cow, the two-headed girl,
the fat bny, the Ferris wheel, the
ou-rang-ou-tang, the •-irict-jarn-.'nph,
aud   other    tilings-   too    iiutueious!
to mention.   It's all there and its all
to be seen if you want to see the fair."
A Great Offer.
Conkey's Home Journal for July is a
strong patriotic number. The artist
in his conception for an appropriate
design for the cover, had in mind
George Washington the first, and Admiral George Dewey, the last great
American.
'■When the Bells Eang for Liberty,"
a story of the Declaration pf Independence; "Beautiful Washington Homes"
aud "Stray Breezes from an Old Sloop-
of-War" are timely suggestions suitable for the occasion.
The special departments, July
Fashions, Hints on Embroidery,
Mothers' Meetings, Physical Culture,
Piano Playing, Building Modern
Dwellings, Dress Patterns, Puzzies,
and others that will interest any member of the family, together with the
three selections of popular sheet
music, make a wonderful magazine;
and one finds it hard to understand
how.it is possible to give so many good
things in a magazine, the subscription
price of which is only 50c. per year.
The publishers, the W. B, Conkey
Company, strive to produce as good a
magazine as the $1.00 monthly for just
half the price and will mail a sample
copy on request to any reader of this
article.
We haye made a special arrangement, and can offer Conkey's Home
Journal and the Sentinel and your
photo button, both papers one- year
tor only SI.33. The subscription
shuuld bo sent to the Sentinel office.
