Portal at the further side. The
picture of this is often seen in art
stores and called "The portals of
Time" The marble column orginally
belonged to a millionaires residence.
In the San Francisco earth quake the
residence was intirely destroyed except "these columns. After the disaster the millionaire gave them to the
city and they were placed in the
park. From San Francisco I went to
Pacific Grove on Monterey' Bay to
.visit iny sister, Mayme Peirce, Pacific
Grove is a winter resort three miles
from the old city of Monterey. The
'peninsula on which It is situated Is
noted for its beautiful scenery. There
Is a famous drive called, the 17 mile
drive, around the peninsula which all
tourists endeavor to go over. Artists
from all over the. world come here to
copy the .scenery. It is especially
noted for the cypress trees -which
are peculiar to this district and are
very picturesque. The* small town
of Carni-1'near here is a settlement
of artists and authors. At this place
is situated one of the famous Little
Theatres, I walked a mile at Carmel
to see the picturesque old Mission of
Carmel. In this mission church is
buried the. Priest Father Junipero
Sierra who founded the mission along
the cost -of California in the early
days and converted the Indians. In
the church was an immense copper
howl and ladle that was used in feeding the Indian converts and a wooden portable altar that -Father Sierra
carried from place to place. The old
town of Monterey is one of the historic towns of TJ. S.. I spent several
days looking at the ancient adobe
houses. One was the old customs
house, one the oldest theatre in California and another that had a ro-
matic interest, was a large adobe
house called the Stevenson House
where Robt. Louis Stevenson lived
while In. Monterey. Since my return
tb Michigan, the city has rented the.
house to persons who are to have a
tea room in the house, and a museum of the former possessions of
Stevenson. In California the Spanish
adobe style of architecture predominates with the tile roofs of red and
green which are very picturesque in
that climate and atmosphere. The
author Governor Morris resides in
Monterey in a remodeled adobe,
Spanish house
On my way from San Francisco to
Pacific GrOve I stopped at Palo Alto to
-see Stanford" University. My cousin
John E.v McDowell was formerly a
Dean of men, here and is now one of
the business managers of this college.
He kindly showed me around the
■wonderful grounds and buildings and
took me out to his home at Los Altos
where he has a'California" bungalow
arranged by a beautiful flower garden, with a fruit orchard near by. His
wife cousin Alice, gave me a fine
boquet to carry away with me. They
have three fine boys and were making preparations to go to Lake Tahoe
for their summer vacation. I had
another delightful visit of one week
with my cousins Mr. andMrs. Oswald
Sheppa. They" owned a beautiful
farm in a little valley with a group-
of giant redwoods overlooking it, and
a large weeping willow nearly covered the picturesque little farm house.
A stream ran thru the farm and birds
sang in this happy valley all day
long. I surprised a flock of blue birds
one day as I walked down to the
stream. For irrigating the farm a
sluice brot water from the hills and
my industrious cousins arose every
morning at 4 a. m. to water their
farm. . One day a large trout came
down the sluice and landed in the
garden. They cultivated strawberries
big black cherries, spineless black
berries of enormous size and dahlias,
gladiolus and asters. They had named
their farm "La Labranza" a Spanish
word meaning, The Farm. It seemed
' to me one of the happiest spots on
earth and my cousins were the most
optimistic persons I have ever known,
and made my visit a happy" one. I
went with them to Santa Cruz to see
the home of two other cousins Mr.
and Mrs. Baldwin. Mr. Baldwin is
President of a bank in Santa Cruz
and his son, Arnold, is a civil engineer, and has built roads around
that country. My good cousins gave
me a fine trip one day In their car
. for over 100 miles. Paved roads all
the "way except one mile of gravel.
We went from Santa Cruz up to San
Francisco where we crossed' San
Francisco Bay on a ferry In the car
to Oakland. There we went over to
Birkely which, is adjacent to "Oakland and looked at the University
buildings. From there we journeyed
several miles north till we came to
the Vallejo River which'empties from
the Suison Bay into San Pablo Bay*

Mary Jane Leek, oldest daughter of
David and Jane Leek, was born in
Waterloo township, Jackson county,
June 14th, 1855, and departed this
life November 25th, 1924, aged 691
years, 5 months and 11 clays. j
In her young girlhood, her mother ;
died and left her the care of two sis-i
ters and four brothers,* the youngest j
a babe of six weeks until her marri-:
age. She then took her brother,
David to live with her 'and where he
grew to manhood.
December 31st, 1875, she was united in marriage to Franklin Wolfer.
To this union two daughters were
born, Lillie M. Graham, of Lansing
and Sadie J, McNeil, who since the
death of her husband, September 30,
1918, has resided with her mother. In
the year 1880 she with her husband,
one small daughter and brother, came
from Jackson county to Isabella
county and settled on a new farm in
Gilmore township.
She was converted in young womanhood and became a member of the M,
B. church in Gilmore. She was a loving, thoughtful mother .and wife and
a true friend and neighbor. They resided on their Gilmore township farm
until 1912 when they moved to Fai'-
well, where they resided until June,
1919, and then purchased a home at
Mt. Pleasant, where they have since
resided and" where her death occurred.
She leaves to mourn her departure
her husband, two daughters, two
grand daughters, four grandsons, one
great grandson, one- sister, four
brothers and many other relatives
and friends.
She expressed her thoughts a few
evenings before her death by singing
"I'm going Home no more to roam,
no more to sin and sorrow." It was
her request that Brother Holmes
preach her funeral sermon, which he
did very appropriately from Second
Timothy, fourth chapter and seventh
verse, "I have fought a good fight, I.
have finished my course, I have kept
the Faith."
The funeral was held from the
home, where her four brothers and
two grandsons tenderly laid , her to
rest in the old home cemetery in Gilmore. X

Local Health Committee.
As last week had been set aside as
National Educational week the Clare
Study Club in recognition of the fact
built their program for the day along
those lines. There were seme very
fine Thanksgiving sentiments, given
in answer to roll, call. The program
was brighten by the presence of a
number of school children from the
1st and 2nd grades who sang three
Thanksgiving songs, very nicely under the supervision of Miss Stone-
cliff. The titles of the songs were
"When Mr. Gobbler changed his
tune", "That first Thanksgiving Day"
and "Come ye Thankful People." The
club appreciated, the singing of the
children very much for there is nothing more beautiful in this life than
the songs and laughter of children.
The Educational theme of the program was "Our School." Supt. Gumser,
of our city schools, gave a very able
and instructive, address of "Our
school" from the stand point of the!
Superintendent. He said that men-,
tal tests had been made in the school.
and the pupils of the Clare schools
have been found to be- on as high a
grade as .other schools. The only I
studies in which they were a littlebe**
hind were reading and spelling ana
the teachers will now make extra et-
forts to remedy that defect. He said
it was a peculiar fact for which he
could not account that the boys m
our athlectic associations seem to be j
smaller In stature that the boys com-'
ing for towns around Clare* He said
that morally all the high schools oi
the state needed extra attention, ana
he wished to speak plainly to the parents and friends of the young people
in .Clare, that the parents be sure that
V
^.
&
Oh, how many hearts *are longing
For a cordial word of praise,
For a smile of recognition
That will cheertheir dreary days!
.Everywhere are men whose labors
Earn for them our friendliness.
And that frank appreciation
We should readily express.
Life is brief and time is fleeting;
Always there is urgent need
For fraternity and kindness,
Yet we pay so little heed
T-o the problems of our fellows; .
Men must have encouragement -
And full credit for their efforts
Or they cannot-feel content.
Let's resolve tQ' greet our neighbors
With a friendly word each day;
Let's be more than merely civil
As we rush along life's way;
Each of us should scatter sunshine
That will gladdeni every mile,-
For the souls of men are yearning
For the comfort of a smile.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
Thanksgiving day is one .we love .
As it calls relatives together,
We never hestitate to strike right out
In any kind of weather. '
One bunch met at Harrison
And oh! that dear old home
Where the latch-string hangs out to
us"
No matter where we roam.
The table It was loaded down
As vThanksgiving tables are
And Mother and Dad was feeling fine
And smiling, met each car.
We all did go with happy hearts
Excepts those way out west
But'when the prayers were offered
' They were thot of with the rest
Our dear old folks won't always
With us to entertain
So lets all try to meet with them
As often as we can.

JOHN ■ W. HAMPTON.
- '-*n
Agad War Veteran Passed
to Great Beyond. Came
to Clare County in 1883.
The rank of War Veterans of '61
are gradually getting fewer In number, the last to be called from* our
midst is John W. Hampton, who
answered the summons on November
23rd, 1924.
John W. Hampton was born in
Meigs county, Ohio, July 26th 1841,
where his boyhood days were spent.
August 29, 1858 he was united in
marriage to Miss Jane Anderson, of
Vinton county, Ohio and this/union
was blessed with six children, all pf
whom survive, namely, Mrs.- John
Bodkins, Sheridan township; A. C,
of Nelsonyille, O,; Mrs. David' Teale,
of Sheridan; Mrs. Allen Gerow, of
Clare; Mrs. N. E. Richmond, of Lane,
Idaho; and William, of Mt. Pleasant.
The family moved to Sheridan
township on the farm now known as
the William Hampton place in December 1883, where he made his home
until the fall of 1&15 when his companion was called by death, and since
thatytime he has made his home with
his daughter, Mrs. Allen Gerow.
He enlisted in the Civil war in
August 1861 and served as corporal
during the , entire conflict. He also
held several county and township
offices when residing in Sheridan
township.

GUILD FAIR A BIG SUCCESS.
The Fair held by the ladies of the
Congregational church Guild held at
the church, Wednesday was thf most-
successful of. any event ever attempted by this- organization. The
bargains hunters who visited the fair
found the most completerand beautiful
assortment of embroidery, art goods
and fancy work ever displayed by
this enterprising society. There was
also a'candy booth and tea room. Be-
gining at 5:30 the ladies began serving a chicken supper. They* reported
that more people were served than at
any other supper given by the "Guild.
In all the receipts amounted to
?212.
BOY SCOUT TROUPE
BEING ORGANIZED
January, thinking they could secure
1925 plates then, refused* to go
through with the deals when it was
announced that no license's would be
sold until February. They apparently feared they would have to buy
1924 plates to tide them over until
February and then buy 1925 license,
plates.
The State will loan all new car purchasers a set of 1924 plates, which
may be used until the sale of next
year's plates is. authorized. If the
assembly fails to enact highway finance and license laws. by that • date,
it is possible there will be another
short postponement, in which case
the loaned, license plates will hold
good. Present owners of cars wilt
operate with their 1924 .plates nntil
the State offers new plates for sale.
It was estimated by Mr. DeLand.
that close to 50,000 sets of plates will
be loaned. New cars are being titled:
by the State at the rate of 400 or 500
a day. According to dealers the
number will double as soon as It is
known that it will not be necessary
to buy plates twice. To take care of
the situation outside of Michigan
after January 1, the Department oC
State is mailing letters to all other
states asking that- the 1924 plates
being honored.
Governor Groesbeck and his advisors continued their preparation of
coming* legislation that will "permit
a readjustment of the motor vehicle
license, law and they intimated that
public sentiment appeared to he increasing in favor of the " proposed
weight and gasoline tax enactment
laws.

The picture of this is often seen in art stores and called "The portals of Time" The marble column orginally belonged to a millionaires residence. In the San Francisco earth quake the residence was intirely destroyed except "these columns. After the disaster the millionaire gave them to the city and they were placed in the park. From San Francisco I went to Pacific Grove on Monterey' Bay to .visit iny sister, Mayme Peirce, Pacific Grove is a winter resort three miles from the old city of Monterey. The 'peninsula on which It is situated Is noted for its beautiful scenery. There Is a famous drive called, the 17 mile drive, around the peninsula which all tourists endeavor to go over. Artists from all over the. world come here to copy the .scenery. It is especially noted for the cypress trees -which are peculiar to this district and are very picturesque. The* small town of Carni-1'near here is a settlement of artists and authors. At this place is situated one of the famous Little Theatres, I walked a mile at Carmel to see the picturesque old Mission of Carmel. In this mission church is buried the. Priest Father Junipero Sierra who founded the mission along the cost -of California in the early days and converted the Indians. In the church was an immense copper howl and ladle that was used in feeding the Indian converts and a wooden portable altar that -Father Sierra carried from place to place. The old town of Monterey is one of the historic towns of TJ. S.. I spent several days looking at the ancient adobe houses. One was the old customs house, one the oldest theatre in California and another that had a ro- matic interest, was a large adobe house called the Stevenson House where Robt. Louis Stevenson lived while In. Monterey. Since my return tb Michigan, the city has rented the. house to persons who are to have a tea room in the house, and a museum of the former possessions of Stevenson. In California the Spanish adobe style of architecture predominates with the tile roofs of red and green which are very picturesque in that climate and atmosphere. The author Governor Morris resides in Monterey in a remodeled adobe, Spanish house On my way from San Francisco to Pacific GrOve I stopped at Palo Alto to -see Stanford" University. My cousin John E.v McDowell was formerly a Dean of men, here and is now one of the business managers of this college. He kindly showed me around the ■wonderful grounds and buildings and took me out to his home at Los Altos where he has a'California" bungalow arranged by a beautiful flower garden, with a fruit orchard near by. His wife cousin Alice, gave me a fine boquet to carry away with me. They have three fine boys and were making preparations to go to Lake Tahoe for their summer vacation. I had another delightful visit of one week with my cousins Mr. andMrs. Oswald Sheppa. They" owned a beautiful farm in a little valley with a group- of giant redwoods overlooking it, and a large weeping willow nearly covered the picturesque little farm house. A stream ran thru the farm and birds sang in this happy valley all day long. I surprised a flock of blue birds one day as I walked down to the stream. For irrigating the farm a sluice brot water from the hills and my industrious cousins arose every morning at 4 a. m. to water their farm. . One day a large trout came down the sluice and landed in the garden. They cultivated strawberries big black cherries, spineless black berries of enormous size and dahlias, gladiolus and asters. They had named their farm "La Labranza" a Spanish word meaning, The Farm. It seemed ' to me one of the happiest spots on earth and my cousins were the most optimistic persons I have ever known, and made my visit a happy" one. I went with them to Santa Cruz to see the home of two other cousins Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin. Mr. Baldwin is President of a bank in Santa Cruz and his son, Arnold, is a civil engineer, and has built roads around that country. My good cousins gave me a fine trip one day In their car . for over 100 miles. Paved roads all the "way except one mile of gravel. We went from Santa Cruz up to San Francisco where we crossed' San Francisco Bay on a ferry In the car to Oakland. There we went over to Birkely which, is adjacent to "Oakland and looked at the University buildings. From there we journeyed several miles north till we came to the Vallejo River which'empties from the Suison Bay into San Pablo Bay* (Continued on Last Page) Jurors For December .Term Discharged by Judge Hart. ^Circuit Court for the County of Olare convened at the court house at Harrison Monday and as Judge Hart had previously discharged the jurors for the December term, all jury cases were adjourned to the March term.

NATIONAL EDUCA- - TIONAL WEEK ^OBSERVED School ChildrensAdd Cheer to Program by Songs Appropriate' For Occasion. GILMORE PIONEER DIES AT. MT. PLEASANT QficSmile of a Mend BIT O. LAWRENCE i_A.WTHQR.NB y Mary Jane Leek, oldest daughter of David and Jane Leek, was born in Waterloo township, Jackson county, June 14th, 1855, and departed this life November 25th, 1924, aged 691 years, 5 months and 11 clays. j In her young girlhood, her mother ; died and left her the care of two sis-i ters and four brothers,* the youngest j a babe of six weeks until her marri-: age. She then took her brother, David to live with her 'and where he grew to manhood. December 31st, 1875, she was united in marriage to Franklin Wolfer. To this union two daughters were born, Lillie M. Graham, of Lansing and Sadie J, McNeil, who since the death of her husband, September 30, 1918, has resided with her mother. In the year 1880 she with her husband, one small daughter and brother, came from Jackson county to Isabella county and settled on a new farm in Gilmore township. She was converted in young womanhood and became a member of the M, B. church in Gilmore. She was a loving, thoughtful mother .and wife and a true friend and neighbor. They resided on their Gilmore township farm until 1912 when they moved to Fai'- well, where they resided until June, 1919, and then purchased a home at Mt. Pleasant, where they have since resided and" where her death occurred. She leaves to mourn her departure her husband, two daughters, two grand daughters, four grandsons, one great grandson, one- sister, four brothers and many other relatives and friends. She expressed her thoughts a few evenings before her death by singing "I'm going Home no more to roam, no more to sin and sorrow." It was her request that Brother Holmes preach her funeral sermon, which he did very appropriately from Second Timothy, fourth chapter and seventh verse, "I have fought a good fight, I. have finished my course, I have kept the Faith." The funeral was held from the home, where her four brothers and two grandsons tenderly laid , her to rest in the old home cemetery in Gilmore. X COUNTY NURSE STARTS WORK IN CLARE COUNTY , THURSDAY MORNING Miss Eskil is working ahead pt schedule. For that reason and others the get-together Cafeteria dinner at the high school will be held tonight, Friday, December 5th, at 6:00 p. m. Cards have been mailed to all supervisors and teachers in Clare and the townships of Arthur, Hatton Sheridan and Grant. We' are expecting our local doctors and dentists to be with us if possible. This is quite an adventure for Clare. Don't take it lightly. We are planning on 23 county teachers 18 city teachers, seven supervisors, seven doctors, the guest of honor, Miss Eskil, the county chairman of the Red Cross, Mr. Mercer, and the committee. With a groupe of people like this interested in the health of our children there is bound to result great good to all. Local Health Committee. As last week had been set aside as National Educational week the Clare Study Club in recognition of the fact built their program for the day along those lines. There were seme very fine Thanksgiving sentiments, given in answer to roll, call. The program was brighten by the presence of a number of school children from the 1st and 2nd grades who sang three Thanksgiving songs, very nicely under the supervision of Miss Stone- cliff. The titles of the songs were "When Mr. Gobbler changed his tune", "That first Thanksgiving Day" and "Come ye Thankful People." The club appreciated, the singing of the children very much for there is nothing more beautiful in this life than the songs and laughter of children. The Educational theme of the program was "Our School." Supt. Gumser, of our city schools, gave a very able and instructive, address of "Our school" from the stand point of the! Superintendent. He said that men-, tal tests had been made in the school. and the pupils of the Clare schools have been found to be- on as high a grade as .other schools. The only I studies in which they were a littlebe** hind were reading and spelling ana the teachers will now make extra et- forts to remedy that defect. He said it was a peculiar fact for which he could not account that the boys m our athlectic associations seem to be j smaller In stature that the boys com-' ing for towns around Clare* He said that morally all the high schools oi the state needed extra attention, ana he wished to speak plainly to the parents and friends of the young people in .Clare, that the parents be sure that V ^. & Oh, how many hearts *are longing For a cordial word of praise, For a smile of recognition That will cheertheir dreary days! .Everywhere are men whose labors Earn for them our friendliness. And that frank appreciation We should readily express. Life is brief and time is fleeting; Always there is urgent need For fraternity and kindness, Yet we pay so little heed T-o the problems of our fellows; . Men must have encouragement - And full credit for their efforts Or they cannot-feel content. Let's resolve tQ' greet our neighbors With a friendly word each day; Let's be more than merely civil As we rush along life's way; Each of us should scatter sunshine That will gladdeni every mile,- For the souls of men are yearning For the comfort of a smile.
