The "wise -women know that bread making
is a science and an art combined- It
requires skill,and the beat materials to
make it a success. Sometimes a woman
blames herself or her recipe or the yeast
or baking powder.

where the fault is.   Now we can give you
' "the following brands: Some people use

SIX IHOMOloilAllS VOTED.
James  S,  Bicknell  Electe4 on
Third Ballot to Succeed Dr.
F. C. Sanford.
Evidently the voters of Clare school
district have heen satisfied with' "conditions us they have been conducted hy
the hoard of education. With several
hundred qualified voters in the district,
the ballot upon the one member of the
board showed a total of forty-eight present.
Dr.,F. C. Sanford, who has served on
the board for number of years, though
being absent, served notice that he did"
not care to be re-elected. The vote on
first ballot and second was rather split
up between Dr. J. W. Dunlop, Dr. F.
C. Sanford, James S Bicknoll and
James F. Tatman. On the third ballot
James S. Bicknell was elected to succeed Sanford,
The financial condition of the district
showed an overdraft of $2 28. The interest on money during the past year
amounted to even 861.00, Last year
the district had over $",,('00 on hand
and voted to raise §5,000 by taxes.
This year it was voted to raise 80,000
making the amount practically the
same. The first of August the district
will receive over $3,000 primary money.
Secretary Reading claims that it takes
about $10,000 a year to run the school,
Tho average student in tho high school
costs the district about §15 per head,
while in other grades it is less. There-
port showod^total of "U242 27 tuition
.received during tho year.
The question of enlarging tho school
was not brought up before tho meeting.
For the past two years the district has
been forced to use tho basement of the
Lutheran church for the sixth grade.
Lastveai* theypaid'SiSa'month. wille^
this year tliey" have paid' $18".*"'Secra*
tary Reading informs the Courier that
notice has been served on the board
that they cannot have this room for another year The question now before
the board ia where will they place this
grade. It is thought that they will try
and secure the second floor of the city
hall.
During the past year thirty seven
foreign students from the surrounding
conntry wereenrolleil, most all being
from the rural districts. The new board
has not yet organized, but it is reported
that President Perry will bo reelected
and the secretary's office will remain in
the same place. The question who will
be elected treasurer is unknown.

Plenty of Summer Resorts
in Clare County.
The vaeat'oneer of Clare need not gp
out of Clare county to find a shady plaqe
beside some stream or lake. We believe we are safe in saying that Clare
county has as many lakes and streams
filled with ftsh as any county in Michigan,
The beautiful Bud lake, at Harrison,
which at the present time is patronized
by many as one of the finest of its kind
in Michigan. As each year goes by
this place becomes better known in the
state. Lake George in tho northern
part of the county has a dozen cottages
full from the 1st of June till late in tho
season. There are perhaps fifty other
lakes in the county that in years to
come will be known by resorters.
Stevenson lake located in Vernon
tov/nship, Isabella county is patronized
by hundreds during each summer.

Passinglhe Eigth Grade Will
No Longer Erfempt Pupils
JEJvery child in the state of Michigan
under tho ago of sixteen must be in
school or regularly wnptoyedi without
regard to whether or not ho or she has
passed'tho eighth grade, according to
an amendment of the compulsory school
law,which Governor W. N, Ferris has
recently approved. Heretofore those
children who had passed the eigth grade
satisfactorly were exempt from the
provisions of the law regardless of their
age.
Beginning with August 15, uny child
claiming exemption on account of having passed the eigth grade must secure
a work permit from tbe county commissioner of schools or from the graded
school superintendent and must be regularly employed at aom'i lawful work if
physically able to do a-.-. This law, it
is expected, will have a decided tendency to keep boys and girls in school
for a longer period and an increase in
high school enrollment is assured.

The time ot the year has come when
every farmer in the vicinity of Clare
is working from daylight in the morning till dark at night. The exceedingly
dry weather weeks ago set back the hay

as expected. New meadows have gave

Blue Ribbon week—August 11 to
hi—will furnish another illuminated
chapter in the history of light harness
racing for the year. Since 1885 the
meetings of the Detroit Driving Club
have been world famous, because the
sport has dominated and the attraction
has been the best that money and brains
could devise.
This year the Blue Ribbon meeting
will be the greatest single week of racing in tho country for the reason that
more good horses are being pointed for
the contests than ever before. This
is a part of interest in the American
sport of the sulky, which, today, is on
the threshold of greater popularity than
it ever has known.
Men who now are the backbone of
the light harness turf are those how
have made a success of life in professional or industrial circles and for whom
this is the one great sport. They are
not in it for profit. They pay extravagant prices for horges because they
glory in victory, and. the public has the
.^ri'*ri\odgaa:<i£--_eing -.those- ani__fi.~.i_,
action on the fast mile track at the
Michigan, state fair grounds.
One of the horses that will start in
the M. & M. stake cost $12,000. In tho
Chamber of Commerce pacing stake are
two costing $10,000 and §8,000, and one
for which greater amounts bave been,
refused. The value placed by the owners on the horses that will compete in
the Blue Ribbon races will run up to a
million dollars. The cost of getting
them ready and of the horses that have
failed to come up to expectations is almost as much. All of this development,
the result of scientific breeding and intelligent workmanship on the part of
the trainers, will bo unfolded at the annual Blue Ribbon races, which hold a
place all their own in the midsummer
glory of Detroit.

Co. are now selling Deering, McCor-
