|'Tcd E. Hampton, son of Mr. and
Mra, I. E. Hampton was born,in Sherl-
-<lay township, Clare county, May 3rd,
"i.903, and passed from this life November . 28th, 1923, at the age of 21
years, 0 months and 26 days.
Fred, spent the early part of his life
on the farm in Sheridan and attended
iiXa Colonville school. He moved with
hia parents to this city in the fall of
1913 and entered the Clare Public
schools. ' He continued his education
until, he completed the 11th grade in
June 1918, and then went west accompanied, by his brother, Frank, in
search of a climate more suitable to
his health, .finally settling at Aurora,
Colorado, near Denver. There he
lived the greater part of the last four
years. Entering the Aurora high
school in the fall of 1920, he gradu
•atoiI with the class of 1321. > During
his residence there Fred made a host
ol intimate friends who were grieved
On November 25th on learning that
his life was in danger and later the
..-axouncement of his death.
In July ot this year his mother lefl
for Colorado/for the purpose of taking
him into the mountains during the
-warm, weather where it would be cool,
but'unfortunately they arrived there
with the beginning of the rainy season. Being discouraged and realizing that his life was in vain, Fred ex-
pressed his desire to return to Michigan and spend the remainder of his
life with the family here.
Since arriving in Colorado four
years ago, despite every effort that
medical aid, climate and loving hands
could do, the body gradually grew
■Weaker under the slow destructive
process of anemia, accompanied by
tuberculosis, until the end came peacefully at seven o'clock Wednesday
morning, November 28th, the entire
Samily being at his bedside, Frank
having arrived but six hours previous.
Fred was of a jolly, carefree nature
arid could look upon the darkest side
of life with his ever present smile
With apparently little concern. What-
■ ever was done for him was appreciated more than he could tell and as
he expressed himself shortly before
the end, "He had everything in the
World to be thankful for."
Besides a number of relatives and
hosts of friends in Michigan and Colorado, he leaves to mourn his departure, a loving father and mother and
live brothers, T.C., of Weideman; B.
J., of Harrison; Frank, of Aurora, Col.
and Jesse and Leo, of.this city
The funeral was conducted from the
home Sunday, December 2nd, at 2:00
o'clock, Rev. H. B. Johnson- officiating
and; the remains laid to rest in Oherry
Grove beside those of his sister, Mabel
Who preceded him in death three
years ago.
Relatives and friends from out of
town who attended the funeral were
Mr, and Mrs. R. N. Malay, of Ann. Arbor; Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Johnston and
R. K. Royal, of Shelby; Mr, and Mrs.
H. T. Martin, of Saginaw; Mrs. Susie
Fick, of Indianapolis, Ind., Mrs. Vernie
Huff, of Grand Rapids; and Miss Mae
Torrel, of Hastings.

The desire of Florence Loomis, 15
years old, ot Flint, Miqh., who ran
away from home November 21st, to
taste life in a "big city," terminated
abruptly Monday night" when she was

became separated. -

STORY OF "JOB" TO BE
- PRESENTED BY PASTOR
The story of "Job" is an interesting
one. He is a prince, old,* rich, fortunate, benevolent and gdod. The
great honor him, the good trust- him,
the poor in his bounty find plenty.
Not a cloud drifts across his sky as lie
sits in the sunshine of prosperity,
when without a word of warning, the
storm breaks and all that Job possesses is swept away. He receives no
comforts or consolation from his wife.
His three friends were philosophers
when they should have been men. He
suffers affliction, tragedy has come,
but Job rises above it,'for he worships God. To an explanation of this
tangle of adversity, the story sets itself. But it does not misrepresent
God. God is a dispenser of good.
Satan was not wrong in his contempt
for a religion that did right for a reward. God comes to vindicate Job,
and the later end of his life is blessed.
The man of faith is one, who crushed by the hand of sorrow, has looked
into the brassy and unanswered skies
all forsaken, yet in the darkness and
numbness of his heart has held fast
to the God whom he could no longer
see, nor feel nor linderstand.
"Job" is the subject of the sermon
lecture to be delivered by the pastor
at the Congregational church Sunday
evening.

HAIR DEMONSTRATION
On Monday evening nearly one hun
dred people of "Clare took advantage
of an exceptional opportunity to see
real green spun glass Tiair in the form
of a transformation and a. cluster of
curls. Besides this there were many
beautiful head dresses of various kinds
of switches, transformations and
curls.
This demonstration was given by
Madame Mary Sarnes at the home of
Kirs. A. B. Lister, whose years of ex-
psrieij.ee enables her to quickly dress
hair, give massages and many other
things along her line of work.
The rarest treat of the evening was
when Madame pushed back her own
hair and showed us how to take care
of our own skin every night by first
naiats cleansing cream and then massaging in wrinkle cream. After she
rubbed the. remaining cream off she
then used, an astringent cream to
Close the pores and after putting on a
generous share of powder and rubbing
it in well her face was like that of a
"'>aby„
The only thing that Madame really
jrecjrettad was that she had no more
time to tell ue. more about this interesting work because she had to leave

"DOROTHY CANFIELD"
THEME OF GOOD'
LITERATURE CLUB
The Club met on November 13th
with Mrs. Maud Thompson. xm
chairman for the evening, Faythe Barber, was unable to be present, so the
President had charge of the topic
"Dorothy Canfield.". In the study oi
this writer we found h«r not only tc
be a writer but a splendid mother, and
a woman active in all causes which
promote better living.
Each member gave a name of the
book which, they liked in response tc
roll call.
The Club then adjourned „ to meet
November 27th with Mrs. Bernice
Jones, at which meeting little Maxine
Jones favored us with a solo. Mrs.
Adelaide Elden gave a report on "The
judge," by Rebecca West, a very
young English writer, Called one of tin
' young intellectuals."
Roll call brought out some of the
things the ladies dislike most about
housekeeping. The following lines
were given:
I wouldn't mind the house work,
if it were not'just for these
Little things I have to do,
Instead of those I please.
I do not like to scrub and bake,
Make beds, or sweep and dust,
Or wash the dishes thrice each day,
But then, of course, I must.
Perhaps I wouldn't mind so much
"if I didn't have to cook,
And mend the clothes   the   children
wear
To make them decent look.
And there-are lots of other tasks
That I would like to shirk,
But don't you see, these little things
Are what make up the house work.
Adjourned to meet in two weeks:
with MrS. Stella Lampman.

handicap. The game started off with
a bang and the prospects were that
there was to be a real battle in order
to determine the winner. At thp end
of the first period the score was 0-0.
Experience soon told however and the
larger and the bolder Coleman boys
forged ahead. The final count was
representative of a foot ball score.
Coleman had succeeded in caging the
sphere six times for a total of twelve
points while our boys were in the
possesion of, the proverbial "goose
egg. Even in defeat the boys showed improved form. Their passing
and handling of the ball was a great
deal better than in the McBain game.
In short the team work which is so
essential to a winning aggregation
was noticed for the first time. The
boys gave every indication of improving as the season will progress. j
