Address By Dr. Reeder Sunday
Evening.
fbc address by Dr. Reeder on 8uu-
day evening st the Methodist church
mtme worthy of a more extended notice than we can give it. There was
m, eery fair audience, but there should
aave been more present.
Dr. Reeder has scant patience witb
tke false modesty wbicb seeks to call
by the wrong name. He tie-
children  sbouid   be   rold   the
lib regarding tbe beginning of life
rather tban some hocus pocus story,
leaving the facts to be learned per-
baps irom some vic-iouH source.
He declared our army to be tbe
cleanest body of troops on earth,
•leaner indeed than a like number of
in civil life He warned against
trusting to tbe quack or patent nostrum and advised all to consult instead tbeir trusted family   physician.
Dr. Boeder is a past master in tbe
natter of humorous comparisons and
ie likening a man in a certain
Ition to the Ford was a   sample.

and in her pay They have murdered
about all tbe men in Russia from

On Its Hands.
Bov. 8.   W. Davis waa at Cadillac
over night on Friday.     '
A few weeks ago we mentioned the
fact that tbe council bad bqctgbt a fire
truck for ths sum of 14,400, turning
in the old chemical engine on tbe
new. We were not present at the
meeting and had but a slight knowledge cf the transaction-
We learn now tbat Mayor Caple
was entirely opposed to tbe purchase
j at that time and urged the council to
■ postpone tbe matter and call a meet-
{ing of tax payers to consider Ibe matt-
j er. He felt tbat a glib agent waa
j "patting one over" on tbe coancii.
| He claims now tbat tbe priee is more
tban doable what sucb a track sbonid
I cost.
I One thing is certain: Tbe City of
j Clare bas no money to squander. If
the mayor is right in bis contention
aud tbe matter bas not gone so far
tbat tbe city can not honorably recede from iU position, tt will be well
to Investigate somewhat before accepting this truck
