time of the year was reported by all
«f those present,   The games were
<   last and. furious.   The Legion tested

//•   from the Knights of Pythias.   Next
Monday the Legion plays the Knights

are" set together with exact nicety,-
with various designs, such as horseshoes, hearts, stars, in which there are
more than 2Q0 pieces, each one not
more than one quarter of an inch
square, serpents, Masonic . emblems,
and many others of interest
There are secret drawers, book
shelves, and upon the top is a clock,
which is also set in a beautiful design of various colored woods.
This urtlcle of furniture was made
by a father and son, whose names
are unknown; while thejr were employed as cabinet makers* In a furniture
factory in the city of Grand Rapids^
Michigan. They were more than nine
years, working evenings and at spare'
time building it. They later removed
to Flint, and as the young man had
contracted tuberculosis, the Odd Fellows lodge of that city undertook to
sell this desk in Order to secure funds
to send him to the west. They did
this by Belling tickets and Mr. George
Wildman, a brother-in-law of Mrs*
Joiner, drew it on a one dollar ticket.

Since every teacher is the ultimate
inspector of her children, the American Red Cross, feels that the best
school program for the nurse to put

teachers how to make simple Inspections of the children in her own room
and to correllate the teaching of

PUPILS AND PARENTS
IN SPELLING CONTEST
Prizes will be Awarded to Winners Wednesday Afternoon.

pupils or parents are the better spellers. It must be admitted at the outset that it is practically impossible to
devise a list of'words whereby such a
contest will be absolutely fair to both
types pf participants. Parents ordinarily read more than the children
and consequently are in a better position to kndw more words. On th9
other hand the children are acquainted with certain types of words.

are asked to participate. All adults
are requested to take part. The success of the venture will depend largely upon, the number participating.

10 at 3:15 p. m.
2. All those who wish to participate
should give their names to Mr. Gumser before Wednesday noon.

the following: (a) 100 words from a
spelling text (other* than the school
text) (b) 60 words from the Bible, (c)
50 words from the March number of
the American Magazine, (d) JJC words
from next Tuesday's issues of the Detroit papers,, (e) 50 words from the
dictionary.'  .' •,
4. The word " will be pronounced
not more than twice"" and explained If
necessary. If the word is mis-spelled

CLARE VICTORIOUS
TUESDAYWENING
Will Meet Gladwin Tonight
for Last Game Scheduled
This Season.
The closest fought battle of the
year was witnessed by many fans
who journeyed to Mt. Pleasant Tuesday evening with*the local team.
The only games that either team
had lost were those played with Reed
City. The teams were more evenly
matched in this game than in any
other.
The battle started with a bound,
when contrary to the usual line of affairs the opposing team scored a two-
pointer in the first minute of play.
Then the game began to be slowed up
a great deal by fouls made by bo.th
teams. However, in. the first half only
one of the free throws dropped
through the ring, this being made by
the Clare Captain, P. Petchnik. Finally W. Johnson eluded the clever interference and caged a two pointer. The
half finally eaded 4-3 in favor of Mt-.
Pleasant.
Although a good game had been
witnessed so far, it was not until the
second half that the real" fighting was
down. Mt. Pleasant dropped another
basket and then the local' standing
guard, Ed. White unexpectedly caged
a throw from the center of the floor,
Then Parker used the opportunity
made by a foul on Mt. Pleasant and,
tied the score. (Excitement ran high)
Again Mt. Pleasant took the lead and
again it was a tie, and then Clare
took the lead and held It by a score
of 9-8 to the end of the game.
