The multiplicity and excellence of
other magazines, far from lessening
the usefulness of tbe Review of Reviews, makes this (unique periodical
more and more a necessity. Its index-
-es, condensations of leading articles, i]
<elassi_e$ lists of new books, and general snivey of things written, things;]
said," and things done during the
month preceding "its issue, would suffice to keep the busy reader in touch
with the current of life and thought,
even if he were able to read nothing
else. The December number is as full
oi variety and freshness as its predecessors have regularly been; and to
those who know the Review of Re-
-views this is a sufficient commenda-^
Mon.
Christmas prep-prations have begun
tin the several churches. There has
foeen some talk of a union Christmas
service but this will doubtles be
abondoned as unsatisfactory. It may
he, however, that the churches may
smite in some benevolent effort in behalf of the heedy. These practical
lessonsi for the children of the Sunday
'schoolsi are gaining in favor. The
-committee in charge ®i Christmas for |
the Bajptist Sunday :sehool are plan-
ningfor an entertainmemt in which an
•old dutchwindmill will be the chief fig- j
nre. The Congregational school will
have & reproduction of the Ferris
wheel. | Other features of the midway
will be; omitted, we are told.   The M.
E. school has not decided just what to
have^-but it Will be somethinjg nice as
usual,;.-.        '-j • .  ;!

Tide Ladies' Union will meet Friday, i
December 15 at the home of Mrs. W.
H. Goodmaia.   A large attendance is
requested.   The meeting last week at!
Mrs, Olds' was one of interest.   Mrs.
Long read an article, "Hotes by the
Way," written by Mr. Horris, a former!
pastor here.   His notes were about his
trip through Clare before any church
was built.   He was sent on a missionary tour into Michigan when the train
stopped at Clare, which was the end
of the rail road.
The financial situation in the north- j
era part of this state and Wisconsin is i
simply shocking. Thousands of men
have been thrown out of employment
froiii the mines closing down and tiheir.
families today are crying for food arid
clothing. Aid has been asked for from
the states and probably it will be many
months before the • situation is any
better. There is no. prospect of the
mines opening up at present and what
will be done is hard to tell. The
general calamity all over the whole
country only adds to make matters
worse in the north and what to do and
where to go the people know not.
Winter is here upon them and the
position they are in today is a most
discouraging one.
It looked a little like old times,
Wednesday, when a crew of nearly fifty
men got off the morning train from
Saginaw with their "turkeys" on their
backs, enroute for Bachelor's camp near
Five Lakes. But it was not quite like
old times either, for the crew was not
composed of the same class of "husky"
lads that made this region famous ten
and fifteen years ago. *For the most
part they looked like men who had
never had a "shanty boy's" ° experience
and did not know a swamp-hook from
a cross-haul. The most of the old
tiihers ha^vemigrated to .the great
Horth West or have succumbed to poor
whiskey. In those days every criew
hade its fiddlers, and every fiddler he
ha;d his fiddle. Then, too,the "chuck"
was the principal consideration in
hiring out, but now no questions are
asked. Ten years ago it would have
besen no uncommon thing to have seen
a'i"-rew"jump their job," because of a
report that their cook was not first-
class. But no symptoms of the kind
were visible Wednesday.. Every man
kept close at the heels pf the foreman
and struck out north afoot with their
"dunnage" without even asking how
fair/it was to. camp.
The Evart Creamery closed Hovem-
ber 22, having purchased since opening business May 8, 530,668 pounds of
milk, for which $3,329.37 was paid.
The product of the factory were 21,-
4150 pounds of butter, and 26,010pounds
of milk made into cheese. There were
produced from every 100 lbs of milk an
average of over M pounds .of butter,
which is considered very good when
taking into consideration that no special care was ta_eaof naostof the cows
with a view to increasing their butter
producing capacity. The factory has
made a good record; its product has
been first-class, it having failed of receiving first prize at the world's fair
hy only one-half point in competition
witb the state, and it lacked but six
points out of 100 in being perfect butr
ter. This speaks well for Mr. S, M.
Kennell, who has had charge'of the
factory. So far as we know all patrons are satisfied, au.d many will increase their cows next season. The
factory has put into the hands of patrons more clean cash at opportune
times than any other product. The
annual meeting of stockholders will be
held in January at which time an itemized statement will bemade.—Evart
'.Review. Yet Clare don't want a
creamery.
