Tbis week marked the first installation of a re fritter at in 2 machine ia
tbis city, wben L. W. Jackson placed
r>is in active service Wednesday
morning.
Tne cooling effect of tbis machine
is produced by pumping an amonia
gaB tbrongh coiled pipes which are
placed in tbe large meat b >s. and in
the cooling show case, aad other
places Wherever needed and wbicb
are covered by another pipe through
whicb water passes. This water cor •
denses the gas to a liquid and tbis
passes back to the original tank.
These outside pipes are covered at all
times witb from 1-16 to % of an in* h
ot frost, and produces tbe most extreme cold.
The large meat box will be kept at
between 35 and 40 degrees witb complete air circulation and it is claimed
tbe best that can be done with Ice is
50 degrees. This machine also does
away witb all disagreeable conditions
which ice causes and effects a most
sanitary condition at all times.
Mr. Jackson installed a two too
capacity machine, costing ' $2,000
which will more than take care of
bis present needs but in the near
future be plans to enlarge the meat
box to double its capacity thus affording ample room for cold storage
purposes. - Wm. Francis, erecting
engineer of tbe Brectat Co., of St.
Louis, Mo., installed tbe plant.

it appendicitis, and performed an
operationshich was successful, but
later peritonitis developed, ' which
caused bis untimely death. All that
loving bands and hearts cool4 do
was done for bim, but to no avail.
Why our Heavenly Father bas seen
fit to snatch this loving young man
from our midst just at tbe beginninsr

all these things we have learned to
say, "Thy will O Lord, not mine be
done", knowing tbat what is onr

Ralph baa gone to the Heavenly
Home above, wbere there will be no
more sorrow, pain or separations,
for the former things nave passed

He leaves to mourn, bis father,
mother, two brothers, John and
Walter, two sisters, Christine and

FARWELL CHURCHES
PRESENTS RESOLUTION
Petition Concession Committee
of that Village for no Gambling Labor Day.
Members of tbree churches and tbe
Christian Temperance Union of Far-
well, this week presented the Concession committee for tbeir Labor
Day celebration witb a resolution
passed by them asking tbat no gambling be allowed on the streets or
other places on that date.
The petitioners maintain that by
doing this tbere will be no danger of
tbe youDK people's money being taken from tbem by some innocent looking game or flib-flabed by a "wise
one" who makes it a practice of
choosing his prey with some enticing
offer and tben taking advantage of
his victim to tbe tune of an empty
pocketbook.
Tbere are many other reasons why
they take this step, one being tbat
the yisitors tbat go to tbat city that
day can re^t assured that they will
get tbeir money's worth in what they
may wish to invest It in and a cleaner,
better time will be the result.
Card of Thanks
We wish to express onr thanks for
the kindness shown, us in the death

the highest esteem and respect of
all who knew ber. She was a devoted
wife and mother. She knew wbat
tbe privations of early life waa, but
was always ready to share her last
bit to her needy neighbors of tbose
days. Many tbe time the writer before he wae anywhere near bis 'teens
can remember a barefoot lad running
up the hill the day he knew tbat
cookies were to be baked. But he
was not alone. Many others came
soon thereafter, "" but jail were received with the same friendly pat
on the bead and anotber big cookie.
Jannette Almira Wilson was borne

ritte, at tbe age of 6; one child sur
viving, C. C. Rockwell, of this city.
In 1887 she with ber husband located
in Michigan, coming to Ciare when
there, was but a trial, where tbey
built a home in the tben unbroken
forest and spent many years enduring
all the privations of the early pioneer
days. In her early life she united
with tbe Congregational Church
being an earnest and faithful Christian up to the time of ber death which

Evart Lodge Kuights of Pythias No.
78 are planning a big Barbecue and,
celebration which is to be held at tbe
Osceola County Fair .Grounds at
Evart, Labor Day, September 6th.
Tbey aim to give tbe public the best
program and entertainment tbat bas
been offered for many years. The
program will start at 10:30 in tbe
morning and will continue throughout the afternoon;
The Ox Roast, or Barbecue, in the
open, will be served at about noon
and promises a real treat.
Of particular interest will be the
"Lesson of Friendship1' or tbe play
of "Damon and Pythias" which is
the principle and lesson npon which
tbe Pythian order is founded. This
play will*be given In the open in front
of tbe grand stand by the Knights ot
Pythias 'Grand Lodge team. Tbis
play furnishes an interesting enter"
tainment and exemplifies one of tbe
finest lessons of one man's fidelity to
another. Tbe play alone is worth
several times the admission wnich
will be charged at the gate.
There will be tbree ball games, one
in the forenoon, one at noon and one
in tbe afternoon and Evart- KnigbtB
of Pytbiae promise the three best ball
games of the season.
A*Merry-go-round will be there for
the children and the horse races will
furnish entertainment for those who
love "equine sports."
Evart Knights of Pythias Band will
furnish tbe music and Mr. Bellville,
the leadt.r, promises tbe very best
music possible. s
It is to be hoped that tbe weather
will be fair and tbat people from tbe
surrounding counties will plan to attend and make this a real gala-event;
in fact, every Knight of Pythias is
planning to make this Osceola County's Biggest Play Day.
Evart Knights of Pythias, last year,
purchased tbe Evart Hardware building and have remodeled the upstairs
and equipped the same for suitable
lodge hall and club rooms, Tbis bas
occasioned considerable expense and
to take care of this expense, the boys
bave conceived tbe idea of staging
this big celebration and play day
wbicb will serve to give the people a
day of attractive entertainment as
well as serve to raise some of tbe necessary funds.
Admission will be charged at the
gate but tbe entertainment features
on the grounds will be free. A small
admission will be charged in the
grand stand.
As mentioned before, the public is
invited to come and make merry and
eat with tbe Knights of Pytbias.
A program appears in another column of this paper.

Who Is Glare's
Most Popular Lady?
¥be question of who's Clare's most
popular lady will be determined by a
contest which is now being conducted
within the city, the voting places to
be at the Princess Theatre, Kirkpat-
rick's Drug Store, Derby's Candy
Kitchen and Dixieland. Watch Princess Theatre for list of young ladles.
An appropriate prize will be awarded
the winner.
Following a special meeting of tbo
Board of Education held Angust IS
it was announced tbat scbool would
open in aM departments the day after
Labor Day, Tuesday, September 8.
For tbe present, at least, no changes
will be made in the location of tbo
various grades. The kindergarten
and second grade will occupy the
basement of tbe Congregational
Church. The fifth and sixth grades
will be in tbe Lutherao Church. All
other grades will meet in the Methodist Church: the first grade in the
Epworth League room, the third and
fourth grades in tbe dining room and
the upper six grades in tne main
auditorium upstairs. x ~^--
Under this arrangement it will be
necessary for tbe pupils of the high
school to do most of tbeir studying
at bome. Parents sbould take thie
fact into consideration and assume
more responsibility for the work done
by tbe high school boys and girls
(which includes' the seventh and
eighth grades) daring the hours
when they are not actually in attendance at classes.
Owing to tbe fact tbat it is recognized tbat full advantages cannot
be offered, no increase will be made
in tbe tuition rate tbis vear aitho the
new law provides tbat S60 may be
charged. Tbe tuition will be $40 and
is payable in advance to C. A. Reading, Secretary of tbe Board of Education. Where application was
properly filed full tuition is payable
by the rural district, the individual
pupil not being required to pay a
part of the amount as in recent years.
At the annual meeting of tbe district it was voted to replace tbe textbooks lost by pupils at the time of
the fire. Tbis will probably be nand~
led as follows:
1. In the grades. The books given
ont on the opening day of schoo}
will be the ones to be used tbis year,
not tbe ones used last year. A cnarge
will be made for the difference between the value of the book given
out now and the value of the
book in that subject at tbe time of
the fire last spring. For example, a
pupil wbo was in tbe fifth grade last
year lost a Fifth Reader. This reader, we will say, cost tne pupil 80c retail in September a year ago. Tbo
book bad been nsed seven months at
the time of the tire and would have
Drought about one-half price, or 4(Jc,
as a second-band book. Tbe boolc
given out to this pupil this ye.::,
however, will not be a Fifth Rea^r
but a Sixth Reader. It will not be s>
new book but one used tbree moni >>»
last spring after the fire, and in. -
dently kept in rather good condition
under tbe supervision of the teacher?.
The retail value of tbis book new ie
90c. Under the circumstances, its
depreciation should be not more than
one-quarter, or at- the most one-
tbird. Let us say its present value
is 60c. Tbe pupil may therefore
have tbe book for tbe difference between 40c and 60c, or 20c. The expense sbould be no more than usually accompanies the exchange of
books wben passing from one grade
to the next.
2. In tbe high scbool. Here, because of so many different classes,
a direct exchange of books is hardy
practicable. Therefore an insurance
inventory will be made of tbe secondhand value of the textbooks wbicb
were in nse by eaeb student and lost
at the time of the fire, Credit for
tbis value will be made in an individual ledger account whicb will be
opened for eacb student. Tbis credit
will be allowed toward whatever
books the atQcjent may require fo*p
pee this year.

thanks to our neighbors and .friends

Tne cooling effect of tbis machine is produced by pumping an amonia gaB tbrongh coiled pipes which are placed in tbe large meat b >s. and in the cooling show case, aad other places Wherever needed and wbicb are covered by another pipe through whicb water passes. This water cor • denses the gas to a liquid and tbis passes back to the original tank. These outside pipes are covered at all times witb from 1-16 to % of an in* h ot frost, and produces tbe most extreme cold. The large meat box will be kept at between 35 and 40 degrees witb complete air circulation and it is claimed tbe best that can be done with Ice is 50 degrees. This machine also does away witb all disagreeable conditions which ice causes and effects a most sanitary condition at all times.

Members of tbree churches and tbe Christian Temperance Union of Far- well, this week presented the Concession committee for tbeir Labor Day celebration witb a resolution passed by them asking tbat no gambling be allowed on the streets or other places on that date. The petitioners maintain that by doing this tbere will be no danger of tbe youDK people's money being taken from tbem by some innocent looking game or flib-flabed by a "wise one" who makes it a practice of choosing his prey with some enticing offer and tben taking advantage of his victim to tbe tune of an empty pocketbook. Tbere are many other reasons why they take this step, one being tbat the yisitors tbat go to tbat city that day can re^t assured that they will get tbeir money's worth in what they may wish to invest It in and a cleaner, better time will be the result.
