**Th6 trouble is   widespread   ir

of a new bulletin on   potato diseases
adds.    "Prior to   191 i it bed been reported bat from   a  few   localities  in
southern Micbigf n, and tben, in most
Instances, only in potatoes  imported
Iroai northern localities.
Via tbe wholesale shipping of tubers
into tbe state which took place in
H17 to supply seed stock, "black leg"
was introduced into many southern
Michigan counties, where it has been
known to produce losses of from "25
percent to 75 percent of tbe crop in
the field and to cause a serious rott-
iag ot tubers io storage.
"It is not known whether the germs
Ot tbis disease, under Michigan conditions can live over winter in soil
wbich bas boms a diseased crop, but
tbe rotation which Is necessary for
otber reasons will eliminate all danger from tbis source.
4'Sound seed tubers, free   from rot,
wounds, bruises, scab or other bletn-
ieta, acd disinfected in   either formaldehyde or   corrosive   sublimate,   will
give  a  crop  practically    free    from
black   leg.     In   tbe   season   of   1915,
observations made in the  upper peninsula showed that seed   tubers   carefully   sorted  and   treated   gave  less
than  one  tenth   of  one  percent    of
Mack ieg, while seed   tubers from tbe
same car, planted wHbout care, gave
a field with 75 percent of black leg.

tmbers as are formed) wherever found

Mrs. Lucy Conrad.
Miss Lucy Richardson was born
Feb. 14, 1358 at Titusville. Penn.
Wben 10 years of age she came witb
her parents to Michigan where sbe
grew up and on Jaly 6, 1896, became
the wife of Joseph Conrad. To this
union five children were born, Mrs.
Clara Denton and Mrs. Ida Rounds,
both of Flint; Mrs Eva DePotty and
Mrs. Ivah Hebrank of Detroit; and
Freda still at bome.
Tbe family lived ln Clare and vicinity some 18 or 20 years, the husband
dying here eight years ago. Mrs.
Conrad died at Clio, where sbe had
lived for some time, on May 11, 15)18.
The body was brought to tbis city
and tne funeral held at the Methodist
church on May 13 with burial in
Cherrv Grove beside the husband.
Beside tbe cbildren, Mra. Conrad
is survived hy her father and four
brothers.
Reports   coming daily to the   Michigan   Agricultural    college   tell   of   a
surplus of miik in   many parts of   tbe
state, while at   the same time   boose-
wives, uninformed   of this   sitnation, j
are continuing to decrease their milk
I purchases as partof tbeir food-saving
| program.    Tbe truth of the matter Is. i
j according to Dr.   Mary   Anderson of
' the   extension   department  of M. A.
C-, tbat milk ie a   food   which can be
used without stint,   and is cheaper at
prevailing    city   prices  tban    either
meat or eggs.
"Every growing child," sbe declares, "sbouid bave at least one *uart
of fresh milk daily, for It ia especially
essential, because of its high food
value and mineral salt contents, in
building up tbe frame work of growing cbildren.
"Milk is our cheapest source of
protein andevenat present city prices
costs less tuan meat, or eggs. Skim-
milk is even cheaper, costing, from
tbe standpoint of food value, less
tben one-balf as mucb as meat.
" A quart of milk 'Contains enough
protein for one-fourth tbe daily ration
of an average man or woman not engaged in heavy physical labor.
"Liberal use of miik at tbis time, in
addition to being economy in tbe
home, will help lessen our milk surplus and decrease tbe need for wheat
and otber foods wbich w'e mast share
with our allies."

An examination of 8th Grade pupils
In charge of O. H    Jones,  a  member
of   tbe  county   board   of   examiners,
was beld at the High School building
on Thursday and Friday of last week.
There were 37 candidates   present, 15
boys and 22 girls, a  great tailing off
from last year when  68  were  in  attendance.     However,  this  does not
necessarily indicate a like  falling off
in the connty by   any  means though
we suspect tbe scarcity of  help, due
to tbe   war,   may   interfere   more  or
less seriously with  tbe   work  of onr
scbools.
Four townsbips were represented
tbie year, Arthur, Grant, Hatton and
Sheridan. Arthur bad 2 candidates,
one eacb from districts 3 and B; Hatton 4 from districts 1 and 2; Grant 19
from districts 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6; Sheridan 12 from districts 2. 4 and 6.
Eleven of  tbese   pupils  wrote  the
examination one year ago.
Daring Thursday night and early
Friday morning oi iast week a fierce j
storm accompanied by rain and in
some sections hail, swept over southern and central Michigan, doing much
damage in many localities. It aeeuis
to have struck Camp Custer, doing
several thousand dollars' damage to
buildings snd slightly injuring three
soldiers.
In Wise township Wm. Bowen's
barn was blown down, tbree horses
being pinned under tbe timbers. One
of tbese was killed but strange to relate tbe otber two wben released were
found to be h,ot little injured.
Homer Loomis in the same townsbip bad his windmill blown over and
wrecked, some parts of it carried for
rods and some still missing, evidently
taken some distance.
As tbis is written, we have not
heard of other serious effects.

Doubtless Clara Co. now enjoys
tbe reputation of having more ranch
land owned by moneyed men than
any other county in the stat6.
Warren   T.   McCray    of   Kentland,
lod., who made a  short   visit  to   his
ranch    Saturday    and   Sunday,   now
owns something like 3800 acres ot land
here,   having  added  rapidly   to   bie
holdings    since  he  first  decided  to
to give   Michigan  wild  lands  a trial
for ranch purposes.     Eventually tbis
may mean as much to   tbis section as
does Mr. McCray's cattle   to Newton
Coanty, Ind., wbere be has a berd of
Herefords numbering  over  five hundred bead,   and  from   which   over   a
quarter of   a   million   dollars'   worth
were sold last year.
Any success be may have in developing tbis land for ranching purposes
will work a benefit to the entire community. His experiments will therefore be watched svith interest hy

Whenever I Look In The Mirror.
By EDGAR A. QUEST
Whenever I look in tbe mirror, it is more tban my face tbat I see,
A battle line far flung in Flanders is etched in tbe   background tor me;
I see blood red acres before me; snd the havoc tbat warfare bas made
And always a questioning phantom says:   "Wbat are you doing to aid?"
I see in my mirror the dying, I see the barbed wires and their prey,
And the eyes of the wounded 1 fancy search-mine in a pitiful way.
Aad always tbat questioning phantom tbese words in my ears seem to hiss
"Oan yoa gaze oo yourself io contentment   in  sight  of  sach horrors tu
tbie?"
Whenever 1 look in my mirror it is more tban my face that I see,
Tbere le always tbe phantom of warfare to point bia gaunt finger at me?
Tben I gaae at the Red Cross ot Meroy at work in tbe valley of pain
And 1 answer the questioning phantom: "The coarse of nay duty is plain."
I -saver could look at tbat mirror and gaze on tbe scenes tbat I see
Save I knew tbat tbe Rod Croes of Mercy wss there ss   a  symbol of me.
If I sporned tbe appeal of the dying, and selfishly clang to my poll
I sbouid banish that glass from my bedroom, for I never could look at
myself.

Mr. and Mrs. Harley Sowle were
tbe guests of honor at tbe Langin j
bome Saturday evening wbere a miscellaneous shower was tendered tbem.
Tbe bome was a scene of merryment
witb varied music,  conversation and

About sixty five guests partook ot
the light refreshments, after which
the bride and groom presided at tbe
gift table enwraping, much to their
pleasure, maoy dainty, useful articles
as an expression of tbe high esteem
in whicb tbey are held by all who
know tbem. The recipients appropriately thanked tbe crowd for tbeir
expression of friendliness and extended a hearty invitation to visit them
in their bome on Maple St. in Clare.
A large circle cf friends join in
wishing the happy couple a bounteous |
portien of tbe blessings of life as tbey

The ambition of tbe officers cf 80th

dozen squads oat for drill at one
time may be realized next Sanday
afternoon wben tbe boys from Far-
well, wbo are members of this company, are planning to drive down and
join with those from this vicinity in
an bonr's drill.
Tbis is not intended for exhibition,
but doubtless many of onr citizens
will want to be out to see how tbe

Decoration Day is close at band end
of course tbe company will want to
be out in force for that occasion, tbe
