bill,
but
The Legislature is making genuiro
progress in its efforts to stem the tide
of crime and laAVlessness which as so
seriously menacing Michigan.
Although the Senate has not taken
definite action regarding capital punishment, it has followed the House m
approving the Harris-Condon crime
code which is probably the most far-
reaching legislation Avhich will be enacted during the present session*
This bill consists of a modification and
revision of Michigan statutes relative
to court procedure in criminal cases.
It is intended to' speed up criminal
practice by eliminating many of the
technicalities of the present laws so
that justice might be more swift and
sure. It contains several of the provisions of the much discussed Baumes
laws in New York State. For instance, the penalty for fourth conviction for a felony is specified as life
imprisonment.
The new criminal code consists oi
163 printed pages, the text of which
has been amended more than 200
times since it Avas introduced and
printed. It Avas drafted by a special
legislative committee authorized by
the previous Legislature. It Avas
written by Shirley Stewart, a Port
Huron attorney, employed by the
commission. ,
Send Flogging BUI to Green
Another criminal "punishment
not. as far-reaching in character,
much more spectacular is the Rush-
ton bill. It specifies life imprisonment lor robbery while armed and
Avas finally amended to include a
whipping post provision. This amendment which Avas tacked on to Sen.
Rushton's bill by the. House Avas the
subject .of considerable difference of
opinion between the tAvo bodies, but
finally the following compromise
amendment Avas accepted: »
"Provided, that the court may in its
discretion further sentence such
guilty person to receive not more than
six strokes at any one time, of a
porous coay hide strap two inches 'n
Avidth, tAvo and a half feet in length
and one-sixteenth of an inch in
thickness, on the bare back, well laid
on, at intervals to be designated by
the court at the time of such sentence.
Such flogging shall be done by the
warden of the prison or his aides and
under the direction and in the presence of the prison physician."
While this amendment Avas adopted
by the Senate without a single vote
to spare, the House approved it unanimously. This is just one evidence of
the more severe attitude Avhich the
House is evidencing regarding the
punishment of criminals.
Erstwhile chicken thieves may develop a more Avholesome respect for
the property rights of poultry owners
due to the final passage through tboth
branches of the Legislature of thia
Hall and Huff bills aimed to curb
poultry stealing. The Hall bill Avould
require anyone' purchasing poultry
for re-sale to keep certain information regarding the transaction on file
for inspection of police officers. The
Huff bill specifies penalties for various degrees of poultry stealing. As
finally adopted it provides for one
year in prison as ' the minimum sentence for stealing valued in excess of
?25,00.
May Search on Smell
Liquor law violators Avill probably
not be especially pleased at the passage by the House of a bill by Sen.
Seth Q, Pulver of Owosso,' which
would permit of search for liquor
where the only evidence is that of
smell. This bill provoked a great
deal of discussion and debate and on
final passage had but two more than
the necessary 51 votes.
In an effort to curb reckless and
irresponsible driving of automobiles,
the Senate approved a bill by Sen,
Howard F. Baxter of Grand Rapids,.
Avhich would permit the revocation of
drivers' licenses in certain automobile
accident cases, It specifies that an
automobile driver who is unable to
pay a judgment.rendered against him
In a suit resulting from an accident
should be deprived of his license until such damages were satisfied, The
bill wag passed by a vote of 20 to 5.
Several members opposed it 8n {he
grounds that It might indirectly provide for- compulsory automobile ln-
sufance.
While a good many of the more important issues "to come up at this session of the Legislature are being
finally settled, the problem of highway finance remains to .harass the

a. startling
announcement at the beginning of his
address before the students of the
Clare school in the auditorium Wednesday, Avhen he said every high
school student earned ?32.75 every
clay they atten'ded high school, and
this money Avas on deposit in the
bank of gre'at expectation.
He proceeded to prove his statement from data gathered and compiled by Dean Lord of Boston University, who made careful and thorough
Investigation', and found that the
average Avage for the man Avho quit
school at the eighth grade was $1500
per annum, and his earnings until 64
years of age would be $75,000, while
the man Who completed hv, high
school course averages $2200 per
year and liis life earnings at 64 years
of age would total ?101,200 or $26,-
200 more than the eighth grader.
He has earned this in four years or
200 days each, or $32.75 for every day
he spent in high school, thus it pays
to go to high school from the dollars
and cents standpoint.
Mr. Warriner said reputation is a
by-product. Of education, and character
depends upon looking after the little
things which determines whether one
sliall be honest or tricky, lazy or in-
dustrous.

Evidence With Photographer
Sternaman For Future
Reference.
The disappearance of the snoAV and
ice, and the appearance of the green
grass, the return of the robins, and
the various other signs of spring, was
the call of the wild, and the lure of
the rod to those enthusiastic disciples of Isaac . Walton, Howard
Brown and Roy Wilson, and early
Sunday morning, "Chick" called at
"Woody's" house and informed him
that he had consulted the almanac,
and learned that the sign was in the
knee, and Avas just right for fishing.
As the laAV prohibits fishing in any
lakes of the county until June 16th,
the only place for these gentlemen
to try ou"t their luck, Avas at- the Clare
mill pond, which is not listed as a
lake in the department of Conserva
tion records.
Equipped Avith expensive fishing
rods, high test lines, artificial baits,
and minnows, and from force of a
habit acquired during kid days, a
small can of fish worms, they Avere
soon sitting in a boat Avaiting for the
Avily pike.
The moments slowly dragged into
hours and nothing had happened, until "Chick" said: "I think I'll try a
fish Avorm for bait," and in a short
time they had twelve perch, Avhich together tipped the scales at twelve
pounds and three ounces, and they
could have had four other fish, but
"Chick" told "Woody" that there Avas
no more rodm on * the stringer, so
"Woody" did not land the last four
fish he caught.
To prove their story, and not be
obliged to furnish any of the staff of
the Sentinel Avith a part of their
catch, the boys called photographer
Sternaman to take a picture of the
flsh, and this photo is on display in
their respective places of business.

Rev. H. B. Johnspn spnke on the
value of high school athletics in the
development of a boy's character, and
fitting him fqr life,
He said in part as foiloAvs: "You
discove'r what a man is in athletics.
It provides a way to the care of the
'surplus energy and teaches muscular
co-ordination. A boy- learns to obey
in athletics, aud that if he is to win
success, he must give the best that
he has. These boys learn true sports^
manship and loyality. You can &l-
Avays depend upon a fellow who is
capable of loyalty."
Coach Alldread spoke very feelingly
on the subject of "Our teams." He
said that he did not believe there was
a cleaner, better group of boys in any
town in the' United States, than the
ones with whom he had labored
during this year. He complimented

that Avon the sta '.o char, jiionship."
Referring to the importance of the
jmblic school, Mr, Ziinn said: "The
public school is the most productive
institution in the # community. From
an economic standpoint, education is
profitable as an investment. It pays
dividends in business. The educated
person buys more and better things
for their home or business, and education gives value to land, but the greatest value in education is the fiber
which is puts into men and Avpmea,
for it is education Avhich builds the
morale of a community."
"The public school is the only tax
supported institution in America that
exists for tho creation and presentation of our democracy."

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO ASSIST XLARE MFG. CO. Thousands of Company's Circulars to be Sent Out by Clare Merchants. At the Chamber of bommeree meeting last Thursday evening, James Tatman, in proposing that the business men of Clare assist in advertising the product of the Clare Manufacturing Company, told of the splendid success being achieved by the company this year, and stated that the camp trailers made in 'Clare are the best to be obtained anywhere" in the United States, Mr. Tatman made a motion CLUB HAS BETTER HOMES'PROGRAM State Health' Workers Present and ^Give Talks on Care of Children. The Clare Study Club met Tuesday afternoon at the home of, Mrs. E, A. Anderson. The meeting Avas called to order by the president, Mrs. Mulder, After dispersing ot the business, Mrs. Nelson Avho Avas chairman for the day took charge of ' the "Better Homes Day" program. Miss Merritt, JAS. F, TATMAN ATTENDS CONVENTION Was President When Organized Thirty Years Ago And^is ■" Chairman of B. of D. The.. twenty-ninth annual convention of the Retail Grocers and General Merchants Association of, Michigan \yas held, at Flint, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this Aveek, and an elaborate program was arranged through the courtesy of the Flint Chamber of Commerce. * Clare Avas represented at the meeting by James P. Tatman, Avho is chairman of the Board of Directors, for this or- PRESIDENTWARRINER ADDRESSES STUDENTS bill, but The Legislature is making genuiro progress in its efforts to stem the tide of crime and laAVlessness which as so seriously menacing Michigan. Although the Senate has not taken definite action regarding capital punishment, it has followed the House m approving the Harris-Condon crime code which is probably the most far- reaching legislation Avhich will be enacted during the present session* This bill consists of a modification and revision of Michigan statutes relative to court procedure in criminal cases. It is intended to' speed up criminal practice by eliminating many of the technicalities of the present laws so that justice might be more swift and sure. It contains several of the provisions of the much discussed Baumes laws in New York State. For instance, the penalty for fourth conviction for a felony is specified as life imprisonment. The new criminal code consists oi 163 printed pages, the text of which has been amended more than 200 times since it Avas introduced and printed. It Avas drafted by a special legislative committee authorized by the previous Legislature. It Avas written by Shirley Stewart, a Port Huron attorney, employed by the commission. , Send Flogging BUI to Green Another criminal "punishment not. as far-reaching in character, much more spectacular is the Rush- ton bill. It specifies life imprisonment lor robbery while armed and Avas finally amended to include a whipping post provision. This amendment which Avas tacked on to Sen. Rushton's bill by the. House Avas the subject .of considerable difference of opinion between the tAvo bodies, but finally the following compromise amendment Avas accepted: » "Provided, that the court may in its discretion further sentence such guilty person to receive not more than six strokes at any one time, of a porous coay hide strap two inches 'n Avidth, tAvo and a half feet in length and one-sixteenth of an inch in thickness, on the bare back, well laid on, at intervals to be designated by the court at the time of such sentence. Such flogging shall be done by the warden of the prison or his aides and under the direction and in the presence of the prison physician." While this amendment Avas adopted by the Senate without a single vote to spare, the House approved it unanimously. This is just one evidence of the more severe attitude Avhich the House is evidencing regarding the punishment of criminals. Erstwhile chicken thieves may develop a more Avholesome respect for the property rights of poultry owners due to the final passage through tboth branches of the Legislature of thia Hall and Huff bills aimed to curb poultry stealing. The Hall bill Avould require anyone' purchasing poultry for re-sale to keep certain information regarding the transaction on file for inspection of police officers. The Huff bill specifies penalties for various degrees of poultry stealing. As finally adopted it provides for one year in prison as ' the minimum sentence for stealing valued in excess of ?25,00. May Search on Smell Liquor law violators Avill probably not be especially pleased at the passage by the House of a bill by Sen. Seth Q, Pulver of Owosso,' which would permit of search for liquor where the only evidence is that of smell. This bill provoked a great deal of discussion and debate and on final passage had but two more than the necessary 51 votes. In an effort to curb reckless and irresponsible driving of automobiles, the Senate approved a bill by Sen, Howard F. Baxter of Grand Rapids,. Avhich would permit the revocation of drivers' licenses in certain automobile accident cases, It specifies that an automobile driver who is unable to pay a judgment.rendered against him In a suit resulting from an accident should be deprived of his license until such damages were satisfied, The bill wag passed by a vote of 20 to 5. Several members opposed it 8n {he grounds that It might indirectly provide for- compulsory automobile ln- sufance. While a good many of the more important issues "to come up at this session of the Legislature are being finally settled, the problem of highway finance remains to .harass the .lawmakers, (Continued on mm Svo> ° teacher of .Home Economies depart- that m^nt in our school, read an interest- j ana largely responsible each business man in Clare be re-'inc:and wel1 prepared paper on jganization, as he sent out the calls for quested to enclose a letter or folder,!"Home Economics." jthe first convention of the Northern furnished by the company, in their i ' Miss Frances Anderspn favored the Michigan Retail Grocers Association, out going mail.

The program for the' third annual convention Of the Northern Association held at- Grand Rapids, July 25th, 1896, was an interesting one, as it not only bears tlie name of tlie president, J, F. Tatman of Clare, but two other old time merchants appeared on the program as foiloAvs: "Is it desirable to pay cash for produce instead of store trade?" J.

Warriner of Central a. startling announcement at the beginning of his address before the students of the Clare school in the auditorium Wednesday, Avhen he said every high school student earned ?32.75 every clay they atten'ded high school, and this money Avas on deposit in the bank of gre'at expectation. He proceeded to prove his statement from data gathered and compiled by Dean Lord of Boston University, who made careful and thorough Investigation', and found that the average Avage for the man Avho quit school at the eighth grade was $1500 per annum, and his earnings until 64 years of age would be $75,000, while the man Who completed hv, high school course averages $2200 per year and liis life earnings at 64 years of age would total ?101,200 or $26,- 200 more than the eighth grader. He has earned this in four years or 200 days each, or $32.75 for every day he spent in high school, thus it pays to go to high school from the dollars and cents standpoint. Mr. Warriner said reputation is a by-product. Of education, and character depends upon looking after the little things which determines whether one sliall be honest or tricky, lazy or in- dustrous. The Girls' Philharmonic Chorus of the Central Normal, of twenty voices, under the direction of Miss Myrle Gow, Avitb Miss Lynstrum at the piano sang several selections and very generously responded to an encore.

Harvey "Chick" and "Woody" File Evidence With Photographer Sternaman For Future Reference. The disappearance of the snoAV and ice, and the appearance of the green grass, the return of the robins, and the various other signs of spring, was the call of the wild, and the lure of the rod to those enthusiastic disciples of Isaac . Walton, Howard Brown and Roy Wilson, and early Sunday morning, "Chick" called at "Woody's" house and informed him that he had consulted the almanac, and learned that the sign was in the knee, and Avas just right for fishing. As the laAV prohibits fishing in any lakes of the county until June 16th, the only place for these gentlemen to try ou"t their luck, Avas at- the Clare mill pond, which is not listed as a lake in the department of Conserva tion records. Equipped Avith expensive fishing rods, high test lines, artificial baits, and minnows, and from force of a habit acquired during kid days, a small can of fish worms, they Avere soon sitting in a boat Avaiting for the Avily pike. The moments slowly dragged into hours and nothing had happened, until "Chick" said: "I think I'll try a fish Avorm for bait" and in a short time they had twelve perch, Avhich together tipped the scales at twelve pounds and three ounces, and they could have had four other fish, but "Chick" told "Woody" that there Avas no more rodm on * the stringer, so "Woody" did not land the last four fish he caught. To prove their story, and not be obliged to furnish any of the staff of the Sentinel Avith a part of their catch, the boys called photographer Sternaman to take a picture of the flsh, and this photo is on display in their respective places of business.
