iwe go  tu   press two   early   to  giv©
idefinite   figures   of tbe results  in this

"only  *200,   one half  of   which   is apportioned'to   this   city.      We   think
^without a doubt tbe entire amount or
more bas been collected. So mucb for
kite financial side of the matter.
gH.Ti-e   plan of  carrying on the   campaign   tbrougb  tbe schools  is a   wise
one.    Tbe   pupils   are  thus  haying
their  attention  called to some  of tbe
_o»}cr  points  in the  lire of  tbia  extraordinary    man.    If   a man    wbo
started with a piny,   sickly body and
all his life  suffered with   very defective  eyes   could do   wbat Mr.   Roosevelt   did.   it   sbouid   certainly   be an
inspiration   to every boy fo   feel that
no ordinary ban di caps   can bold him

IS' Oa Sunday   evening Prof.   Lowrey
of  the Central   Normal   spoke   to  a
good     audience    at   the    Methodist
chnrch. He touched   upon the salient
i features    in    Mr.     Roosevelt's    life,
I noticing   the   reform    measure*    he
X sought to carry out wben   President.
t'H.B  was a   unique  character,  unlike

FARM OWNERS
Outnumber -The .
And   Croppers.
The most Michigan farmers, in certain sections of the State at least
own their own automobiles is shown
by tbe report of a farm census in
Washtenaw County, which was issued recently by tbe Extension division of the Michigan Agricultural
College. A«-^mobiles are owned on
1337 of the 17*3 farms covered in tbe
county canv ■*, or Dy practicalv three-
fourths of th • farmers. t
These figures come as a distinct

On the-tie 1733 farms, Si trucks an-i
82 tractors are owned. Most of the
farmers are shown to own their own
land, although there are 253 share
cropper., 79 ca>b renters, and 33
paid managers on tbe farm on tbe

While Washtenaw is listed as o _e
of the wealthier counties of tbe State,
and it is certain that a census in
most of the other., localities wonld

In 1871 tbey came to Clare Co. and

till tbe half section was owned and

commodious buildings tbat bave

for miles around.
Mr. Hudson says he has done bard
work enough and now is going to
quit. He owns land in Surrey township, also in Hatton and be proposes
to oversee improvements on these,

The J. R. C. proved a most important ally, to the American Red Cross
Society during tbe terrible straggle
through which the world has just
passed; and now the reconstruction
has begun, tbere is still much to be
done, not only in lands -across tbe
sea, but here in our own U. 8.
That our soldiers were oared for
is not enough. Public health and sanitation are demanding attention and
tbe R. C. societies are doing a splendid work in tbis direction.
Shortly after wer was declared the
cbi dren of onr land wanted to help
eo tbe Junior Red Cross was organized. Clare Co. was among tbe first
through the untiring efforts of Mrs.
Lulu H. Murpby as Chairman of
PuDlic School Com., assisted by all
the teachers throughout tbe county,
most schools being 100% in membership. (*
Not alone by money bave the
youths assisted bnt. under tbe guidance of the teachers, knitting, making of comfort and property bags for
hospitals, sending warm clothes and
otber supplies to Frencb and Belgian
refugees.
Tbe J. R. O. of Clare Co. contributed $50 for refugee work, $10 for Civilian relief, and nearly $230 to The
Children's Bureau, ' responding to
calls of every kind for assistance.
Too much praise cannot be given
to the Committee and all who helped
in the noble work.
Tbe time for the annual roil call
draws near, being from Nov 1 to 11,

earnestly hoped eacb teacber in Clare

never regarded its   future   with   any- j Passes

are satibfled tbat if tbe  Hague  Conference could not  bind   the   German
tribes, the Covenant   of   tbe   League
of Nations  will   have   no  greater  influence  upon   the  same  tribes   wben
tbey are out for plunder agaiu. Tbeir
conception of   a   League   of   Nations

achieve it sbe asked instead tbat alliance witb America ana England
wbicb was a treaty of insurance a-

On Monday President   Wilson   sent'
a message to the   House  announcing ^
that be could not approve tbe prohibition law passed because of tbe  war
time enforcement section of the  law.
It  will    be    remembered    that     immediately   after Mr   Wilson's   return^
from Europe he asked congress tore-;
peal all   war time   restriction   of   the-
trafflc, although soldiers were return- "
ing by tbe tens of thousands  and   be-
ing distributed to tbe   various   camps -
prior to discharge     To  the   ordinary .'
Individual it looked as  though   tbere -
was just as much need as ever, if  not ■
indeed more,   tbat  the  soldier   boys-,
sbouid be protected.    Congress seemed to take tDai   view   of   tbe   matter
and tbe restrictive measures cootinu- r
ed.    TecbnicaJly we are still   at   war.'
There   bas   been   no    declaration    of
peace.    Mr. Wilson   bas   been   in   do -
baste to loose his grip   on   any   "war
powers" with wbich congress has   invested bim.
Mr.   Wilson  in   his   veto    message
sayB.    "I   object  to   and   cannot  approve   that   part  of  this    legislation
with  reference to  wartime    probibi- ^

ment of an act wbich was   passed   by '.

particular legislation  arising   out  of J

sound public policy   makes   clear   the!
reason and necessity for repeal
The House seemed to take a different view of wbat constitutes "sound
public policy" and within three bonr**.
bad passed the bill over the veto by
a vote of 176 to 55. It'is said tbat tbe^
Senate wil! also have tb6 necessary
two-thirds vote to re-pass tbe bill.
Tbe national prohibition amendment goes into effect Jan. 16th next,
a'"out ten weeks hence. Can any
one conceive anything more idiotic
than to inaugurate a big national
drunk for a fsw weeks prior to that
date? Mr. Wilson has a perfect right
to bis notions as to wbat- constitutes
"sound public policy," but he will
find mighty few   to  agree   with   bim
