I've the dearest little Sweetheart
That far from here doth dwell.
And of all her charming sisters
There's none   love so well.
Her home is on the Pere Marquette,
The city known as Clare.
And the boys and girls you meet with
Are fine as anywhere
Chorus.
I'm   going back. I'm going back
To Clare so sweet and fair;
I'll tell the Con when I get on
To let me off at Clare.
Let me off!   Let me off!
To let mc off at Clare.
I've traveled far from  Michigan
And wandered day by day,
Many a lovely face and form
I've seen along the way.
But I'll go back to Michigan.
Yes. I'll go back to Clare.
My sweetheart is the best of all.
The girl I left back there.
Chorus.
I'm going back. I'm going back.
To see my sweetheart there:
I'll tell the Con when I get on
To let me off at Clare.
Let me off! Let me on!
To let rne off at Clare.
IT1 never find another heart
That bt-ats ao warm and true.
For she thinks all the world of me
I'm longing for her too.
So farewell to California
Goodbye to Oregon,
I'm off for Good Old Michigan
Before the break of dawn.
Chorus.
I'm going back,   I'm going back,
To wed my sweetheart there;
Please wake me .Con, night or dawn,
And let me off at Clare.
Let me off! Let me off!
And let me off at Clare.

Somewhat in reply to a recent
article in toe Sen,in.-1. Secretary
Marston of the Northeast, rn Develo -
m"nt Bureau writes us tha* the
Bureau proposed to the War Board
that the sum of siuo.Ono be use I in
the pur: hasp of ?h-_ep, or rather ewe
lambs, to be distributed to the
various counties of Northern Michigan to be sold to farmers at i xact
cost, but this th.- War Loari retused
to do.
Ar ih-3 present time lambs suitable
for summer grazing are not to be
had at a price tbat seems at al!
favorable, as was t:.e case when the
matter was iir^t presented to tbe
War Hoard Ho.ce. er, it, is b.oped
that later on al'er .-hearing time
farmers can be supplied. Any who
desire to secure sheep should notify
Mr   Halliday or Sec'y Marston.
Mr. Halliday explains that if any
prefer to buy cattle, the War Board
will give him authority to uss tbe
fund for that *_urpose.
