Parents should read the "truant ordinance" which is published in another column and then do what they can
to help enforce it. Such a law is just
what is needed in Clare, and the enforcement of it may be the means of
saving more than one lad's life.-
As we look rorward to warm weather, the sweet fumes of the blooming
rose, the songs of the twittering birds,
and the green onions, and the brittle
radish, much of the rejoicing is destroyed by the cross thought that with
all these come the pesky liouse fly, to
tickle our noses and awaken us in the
morning when a sleep is sweeter than
any thing else on earth.
One of the most pleasant surprises
that was ever given to anyone was the
surprise on Miss Louise Bruske at her
home last Monday evening. Miss
Bruske is teacher in the 1st intermediate dept. of the Clare school and her
little pupils planned a most successful
surprise in honor of her birthday.
They came, 50 of them, shortly after
school was out, with well filled baskets and a beautiful present' for their
teacher,in the shape of Milton's poems.
They made their teacher glad until
9:30 and when the time came to leave
both teacher and pupil were loth to
part.
The Farwell Register last week and
again this week said that the democrats
had endorsed Mr. Welch, the prohibition candid ate for school commissioner.
Either some one has been imposing
on Mr. Roys' child-like simplicity or
else he is making the statement for.
political effect. The fact is, the democrats have not endorsed any one, but
are left free to vote for Mr. Welch or
Mr. Palmer, according to which of the
two they may deem best qualified for
the office of commissioner. Since the
Democratic county convention declared the office "non-partisan", they will
doubtless consider only the best interests of the schools of the county without political bias.
L st Sunday, the 17th, was St. Pat-
rick'sday, the Patron Saint of Ireland,
which is a day of rejoicing and merriment among the Irish people in all
parts of the world. It appears that
Patrick was born a Christian. At the
age of 16 years be was taken captive
and carried into Ireland, where he
was foreed to work as a slave. He
finally escaped, traveled abroad, and
preparing hi m-self, went back to Ireland to preach to the pagan Irish.
He converted his former master,
many of the chiefs, and finally the
whole country, dying full of age and
blessing, A- D. 464. St. Patrick was
a good man, and taught pure Christianity, both by precept and example.
Instead of St. Patrick's day being one
of drunkness and carrousing by so
many, it should instead be a day of
devotion and meditation on the noble
life and example of this great and
good man.
L. VanWormer of Harrison was in

A woman was walking up IVain
street Saturday after noon when some
one passed t her who attracted
her attention, and she turned partly
around to look behind her, still pursuing her way. At the same time a
man hurridly turned the corner at
the bank and the result was a collison.
' 'Look where you are going," snapped
the woman. "Excuse me," said the
man meekly, "I didn't see you." k'I
should say* you didn't I Walking over
people as if you owned the earth!"
and the angry woman walked on,
much to theamusemnt-of those who
saw that one person was as much to
blame as the other.

Michigan has attractions to" be
found in no other state. A sober industrious people, abreast of the times
and leaders of thought. There is but
little old fogyism or superstition in
men and women of Michigan. The
people of Michigan are stayers—they
know a good thing when they see it,
and liye for for the pleasure there is
in life. Let a wave of prosperity
strike the state, and Michigan alone
would require a small world to supply
her demands. When a Michigan man
has a dollar he turns it loose on the
world. There is always something of
more value and pleasure in it than
placing the dollar on the shelf for a
rainy day. To the Michigan man life is
tooshort and death too certain to speculate on rainy days.   Too many men
who practice the rainy day theory die
without pleasure and leave a young
widow to go into huskies  with some.
