long in which to get thru our course
of instruction and we keep right on
K Jins regardless of weather, amonnt
of snow or elush which ia coming on
today in good shapa, A3 bad a thing
as slush is to wade around in. it is a
welcome sight and I shall be very
glad indeed when there is no more
sign of this terrible winter. We do
not get tbe Wednesday afternoon off
at the Training Camp. Tbe candidates of course bave Saturday afternoons "and Sunday afternoons off,
but not so tbe officers The examination papers have to be looked over
and reports on them in at tbe Head-
quarttrs by Sunday afternoon and
tbat is a big job. takes practically a!!
ot Saturday and a good deai of Sunday. The class period in tiie evening
keeps us over at tbe barracks until
9:00 p m. and then we have more or
less studying to do, usually "more, as
we bave to keep up on all tbis new
stuff being sent thru nearly every day.
So you can see wbat little cnance
there is for anything outside of work.
I have not eveu seen an automobile
for two weeks. Oan you imagine tbat?
If they do not give me a chance to
get away from it all for a few days at
tbe end of thecamp, I shall be tempted
to put in a good kick. Probably
wonid stub my toe if I should do it
bat I sure have some time off coming to me and shall get it if they
ever quit playing football with me, I
being tbe football.
Your letter came tbe other day
Father aud of coarse I was glad to
hear. Am glad yoa are all feeling
pretty good. Mother, how are your
eyes since yoa bad tbem attended to
in Grand Rapids? Mucb better, I
hope.
So Dave Miller is now with the 126
tb Icfry. Tbat is my old regiment. I
wonder wbicb company he is in.
Tbe next thing we will be bearing is
tbat tbey are in France. The order
came yesterday tbat takes oat the
first troops from bere as a unit.
Several times, deaehments have been
sent away to fill ap some otber outfit.
bat this order which came yesterday
takes a full brigade, the 160, h Depot
Brigade. They ha*--w to be in Hoboken
by the20th or tbis month, - ant tbat
means, I suppose, that France is their
destination too. Well it seems certain that tbey can not get us there
any too soon. There is a lot to be
done "over tbere" and the sooner we
get there in big enough numbers, the
sooner tbe thing will be over and we
shall be on our way back again Now
t lat tbe Germans are begii 1 ig to take
the lives of a few of our boys, tbe
fighting spirit is becoming very evident and many boys who, before,
were hoping they would be left on
on duty iu tbis country, are getting
on the anxious seat, getting very
eager to go across and "do their bit."
Yon know wben some great principle
is at stake and men feel tbat tney
are du'iug something for bam'tnity,
they accept tbe 'terrible hardships
tbey know are waiting for them and
joke about them, sing abont them,
casually discuss tbem out don't seem
to dread them nor do tbey complain
about tbem. Tbe psychology of the
affair is indeed very interesting. It
is great to watch tbe change tbat
comes over tbe boys- And 1 feel just
that same way Ho I don't want any
of you folks at bome to feel sorry
that i am going. Just forget everything except what the Germans are
doing and what it is tbat we are going over there for. It isn't so bad
for us as you think It must be, for we
bave really* grown Into the thing,
tt has now become apart of ns. And
I'll express to yon tbe feeling I bad a

At the adjourned meeting of tbe
Council Wednesday evening the franchise permitting the new power concern to do bueineRR in Clare was
thoroughly discussed, and several
changes made. Ooe of these appears
to be most important, requiring the
construction of an adequate auxiliary
plant.
The whole ordinance appears in
tbis issue, and sbouid be given a careful reading by every voter. Farther
discussion may be given the matter
through tbe press during the Dext
two weeks. Of course tbis franchise
does nothing more thau permit this

Plans For  Liberty Loan.
Postmaster Jackson and L. E. Davy
were at Chicago laat week to attend
a meeting in tbe interests cf the next
Liberty Loan campaign, wbich will
start in toe near future.
It is witb deep regret tbat we are
compelled to announce the sudden
death of Albert Lautzenbeiser, a
pioneer and much respected resident
of Hatton township which 'occurred
on Monday morning. He had walked
to Jas. Lower's to ride with them to
tbie city, but when a short distance
on tbe way be complained of feeling
bad and at once the rig turned back
to take him home, where be expired
soon after reaching the house.
A more extended notice will appear
next  week.
Frank Purdy *uwe parents form- ;
erly lived in tbis city and are now j
residents of Lincoln township, seem* j
to have persisted in a rather crooked
career and has given the authorities ,
of Isabella county no little trouble i
at different times. Recently be was j
mixed up in a burglary case in Mt. \
Pleasant and the evidence was. so
conclusive that it seemed quite likely !
bis conviction would be certain.
However, he broke jail last week J
and succeeded in eluding tbe sheriff's
force for several days, in the mean- i
time busy burglarizing a farm house
in Deerfleld township. From an intercepted letter. Sheriff Coon learned
tbat Purdy intended to visit his parents in this county and the officers
called upon the sheriff's force at
Harrison to get busy. Tney proceeded to the Purdy home in Lincoln and
soon the man wanted bolted from
the barn and made for tbe woods but
was soon captured and returned to
Mt   Pleasant.
Later Purdy admitted bie part in
the Lewi« burelary and helped in convicting others. He was sentenced
to Jackson for from 4 to 15 years
wi'h a recommendation of 7 years.

EXCITING GAMES
Played With Marion Hifh School
Result Is Even Split.
The boys and girls were down from
Marion last Friday "evening (and, by
tbe way, they remained until Sanday
afternoon, cont.ary to their intentions.; to resume hostilities with oar
basket ball teams.
The result was not quite all tbat a
fan could ask, but tbe closeness of
ttie scores kept interest high— from
the month— most of the time. The
girls had a nice working margin of 10
points at the end of tbe flrst half, but
blame the change of officials for a 24
to 22 defeat.
The boys succeeded iu earning out
with a tie, and did better for the flve-
micute post script, leaving the count
35 32 in tbeir favor.
Pleasant Surprise.
Last Friday nigbt, Frank Falk and
family, who leave soon for ' Ypsilanti
to locate ou the farm of ber parents,
were surprised by BOme fifty friends
and neighbors.
Well filled baskets were brought
along, and a fine water set was left
to remind Mr. and Mrs. Falk of the
people among whom they have lived
for several years. It is evident that
tbey will be greatly missed in tbis
locality.
