What proved to be the most interesting Primary held in this county
occurred Tuesday when it was discovered early in the day that a record vote was to be cast. In the city
the big rush came in the afternoon
when the lady voters began showing
their interest in the election. Many
times long lines, were formed, but the

time.

MORE DONATIONS
RECEIVED FOR
RuRAL FIRE TRUCK
Practically One-half of Cost   of
Chasis Contributed.
.For thp past several weeks nothing'
has been published in regard to theRur
al Fire Truck for several reasons. One.
was -that it .has.been a time when the
farmeri as a rule, has been a little
short on the financial resources, while
another is that so many celebration?,
have been taking place that people's*
minds were pretty well taken up planning for a good rime at one place or
another'. . *    •   •
To September 1st practically one-
half of the cost of the truck chasis
has been paid in, while the city firemen are still paying" interest on tlie
balance.
It was said at the*start that if every
farmer within a radius of six miles
of Clare would put in one dollar the
note would be paid in quick order.
Many have seen the truck and r -alized
the benefit it will be to the farmer-
and have given many times that
amount, while others have made no
effort to give whatever they can ar-
ford and thus insure themselves
against the loss of one or more buildings when they are least expectihs
it.
During the next few weelts the firemen are anxious to clean up this matter and ask that each and every farmer call and pay whatever he thinks he
can afford and we know that the note
wili soon be stamped "Paid". Make
all donations to O. A. Derby, secretary
of the fire department and receive a
receipt for same.

Edgar Grant Welch was born in
Hammond, St. Lawrence county, New
York, May 22," 1S70. At the age of ten
years the family moved to Clare.
Michigan, then a small lumberiag
town. Here he resided until he came
to California 13 years ago.
While acquiring his education in
the Clare Schools, his perseverance
and pluck helped him to get a knowledge of the printing and newspaper
business. This meant he had to work
early and late, leaving' little time for
amusement, and recreation with the
other boys. But his ambition spurred
him on and the trade was learned under the direction ot the Hon. D. E.
Alward of the Clare Press. The
mechanical part of the work he was
taught by M. D. Eaton of the Clare
Democratic. This was of untold value
to Mr. Welch throughout life'.
Soon after graduating from the
Clare High school he entered the
State Normal college at Ypsilantr
which he completed with honor; later
also graduating from Mt. Pleasant
Normal. By working unceasingly at
the printers trade every spare hour,
he ilnancied his expenses through college. During'the past few years he
has b9.n working hard to secure ac
M. A. Degree from our own "University
of Southern California. He succeeded
in carrying several units of credit
each year toward his Master's degree
in connection with his'arduous duties'
as principal of a large school..
Mr. Welch was united in marriage
with Miss Minnie M. Presley April 2,
1900, at Clare, Michigan, and two
daughters Mildred and Marjorie came
to bless the home, who together arc
left to mourn a fond and devoted
father and loving husband.
At a very early age he" was converted and united with the methodist
church. His activities were notable
and here, 'as elsewhere, he. was founo
shouldering responsible* positions as
Supt. of Sunday School, teacher ot
boys classes, and at his death" was a
member of the official board of the
Westlake Methodist church, where he
and his family have been members io:
tho past eight years.
As a life long educator, Mr. Welch
ranks high, and his record will remain as a living monument to his
memory. During tbe earlier period or
his activities in Michigan we find him
as teacher, principal and later was
elected County Supt. of schools for
two terms of four years each on the
JL-ie'publican ticket. In 1900 the Clare
Sentinel was purchased by Mr: Welcn
which he edited and published for 11
years until the removal of the family
to California. About a year after
coming to LosAngeles he became
identified with.the city schools, Where
his unbounded fceal has continued unabated until his final summons came

in the life of our   departed   brother
was his great enthusiasm    and   real

CELEBRATION DAY
.Unknown Boy Savecf Frotn
"Drowning in Mill Pond
by Donald McKay,
of Detroit.
What came near maring the pleasures of .the celebration held in Clare
August 28th, and bringing grief to a
father and mother, was prevented by
Donald McKay,_ son of Mr, and Mrs,
James McKay, "of Detroit, and was
only this week, brought to our attention.
It seems that shortly after the hum
dreds of. people had partaken of their
noon day lunch at the tourist camp,
several young boys had gone dqwn to
the mill pond and went in bathing.
All seemed to be having the time of
their life when suddenly Donald, who
had climbed upon a stump to rest, saw
the form of a considerable younger
lad floating down the current just below the surface of the water. He called to another-hoy, who was near by
and. dove for the form, which he succeeded in getting to shore. Having
some knowledge of first aid Donald
and his friend, Roger Harris, also of
Detroit, set .to work and soon had
consciousness restored to the almost
drowned boy, who was soon able tc
dress, although still iu a dazed condition, ahd start for home. In the excitement the name of the boy was
not learned, but ihe Detroit boys deserve much credit and praise for their
work in the. saving of the boy's life.

Peaceful be thy rest, dear mother
It is sweet to; breathe thy name
In life we loved thee dearly,
In death we do the same.
A precious One from us is gone,
A voice we loved, is stilled
A place is vacant in our hearts.-;
That never can be filled.
Twas Jesus who called her away,
She has gone to the Lord who redeemed her,
From night to. the- splendor of day.
