It is certainly a mis-taken idea in

year out without occasionally giving*
them a coat of paint. The damage
done tounpainted or old-painted buildings by the elements is the cause of
much greater expense in the end than
would be ah occasional coat of paint,
Not only would the cost be less, bub
well-painted buildings add to your own
enjoyment, and they are also a source
of beauty to all beholders, and help to
make the town itself "a thing of

Aboub one-fifth of the State militia
are thrown out by the medical examiners. Inasmuch as the guards are
made up of our young men, this is nob
very flattering to the general physical
condition of our youth. The greater
portion of those that fail to pass muster are thrown out because of weakness of the heart brough t on by cigarefc
smoking and excessive bicycle riding.
Perhaps hoys will begin to believe after awhile, what has been told them
about cigarets for, lo, these many
years.      _

Genial Marve Eaton! All were glad

For ten years he was at the head ot
the newspaper business of Clare. We;
say "at tbo-bead1- because be certainly
printed the best paper and no home in
this section was complete without
"The Glare Democrat-Press," We are
glad to think now that we began our
apprenbiceship.under so gooda printer
and So able a writer, and hope that
our efforts in making an ideal home
paper will be as successful as were his.
"Marve" will remain for a several
weeks' visit with old friends.
Oc Co,
Improve This Opportunity.
The work on the dam across the Little Tobacco river for the furnishing of
power for our new grist mill, is being
rapidly pushed forward.
A logging, stumping and general
clearing bee will be held next Friday
and Saturday, May 27 and 2S, for the
purpose of freeing the proposed site of
the pond of all obstructions. Every
man with a team and every man who
is interested in the progress and well-
fare of Clare, should give their time
free gratis to helping along this work,
as it benefits each and every one of us,
and when completed ib not only furnishes water power for the mill, but
will provide a good fishing ground for
lovers of the piscatorial exercise, as
one party alone has promised to plant
therein 15,000 bwo-year-old brook trout.
Then, too, it will be a fine boating
place. The grove on the south side
will be a superb place for picnics, and
when once known to tbe outside world
will become, in a measure, a place for
resortcrs from other towns.
Aside from this every farmer ought,
and will no doubt, take pride in referring to his home mill.   And, why not?
The dam f. ben completed will have
a fall of 14 feet, with a backwater of
nearly a mile, giving to the natural
force of water fall a force of head that
is excelled by few water powers io the
state.
By tbe formation rf the pond, or,
more properly speaking, a lake, an
island of considerable extent will be
formed upon which probably another
season a pavillion will be erected for
the use of those who desire fco spend a
day or an evening in social enjoyment.
In conclusion let us say, that it will
more than fully repay you to devote a
day or two to this work.
On the days of the "bee" refreshments will be served and everything
done to make the day one of nob only
profit to eyery farmer, but every* citizen of Clare and northern Isabella
counties.
