John" JNortJi®n, <of 'Glare, .the loltiest
Past Master present, gave some inter
esting reminiscences of the early
days, and told of the first meeting
"held at ihe srihBQl :honse when
seventeen applications for membership were obtained, State Master
Olmstead was ipresent at this meeting and gave them the privilege vof
securing additional applications before the charter Tvas closed.
When the charter was finally is
sued, there were .eighty members and
nearly one hundred dollars in the
treasury, and these enthusiastic
grangers "began snaking 'plans for the
building 'oi a hall.
Mr. Northon told of the struggles
and various ways in which money was
raised, to purchase materials for the
building, most of the work being donated .by the -members, and in the
summer of 1904, the hall which was
erected son a site donated by Charles
Northon, the -first Master, was dedicated by State. Master Horton.
Mrs. Charles Durnin read extracts
from the records of the organization,
and spoke of the excellent work which
had heen accomplished in the community through the lecture program
and -other activities.
Mrs. Walter White read rietters co'f-
greeting from Edith M. Brewer of
Florida and Mr. and Mrs. Lamoreaux
ol California.
George Roxburg of Reed City,
Master of She State Grange delivered
an address in which he said that anniversary was commemoration, and
this event was in the nature of .a
memorial lor the men and women
Who worked together in this grange
for these twenty-five years.
He commended the members for'
celebrating this occasion, as he said
it all makes ifor 'better fellowship and
spirit.
Mr. Roxburg said: "The Grange is
an organization tor the discovery of
talent. The Grange has developed
men and women as statesmen and
leaders in important movements."
"There are tbwenty-eight million
people on the farms of America and
if these were organized, we could get
what we need in :the way of legislation."
In discussing the problem of the
farmer, who since the war has faced
the fact of high wages and increased
cost of machinery and the low price
of farm products, Mr. Roxburg said:
It appears on the face of things
that the only salvation for the farmer
is to hold on and keep from bankruptcy, if possible, until enough starve
from the farm, or move to the city, to
enable those who are left to make profit by the adjustment of the general
law of economics."
He reminded the people of the old
Grange doctrine, which was to buy
when they could afford or had the
money, and stated that he believed it
would be necessary for America to get
back to that doctrine.
Mr. Roxburg depreciated the suggestive movies, literature, songs,
vulgar dances and things that lead
young people astray. He regretted
the lack of discipline in the modern
home.
Mr. W. F. Taylor, of Shelby, who
is a member of the State Grange Executive Committee, and was the first
deputy to visit Mt, Vernon Grange
after the charter was issued, delivered
a brilliant and scholarly address.
He said: "We cannot expect law
or instiuttions to do our tasks, for no
good thing has come to the world that
has not been worked out by a human
mind, soul or hand."
He said that no. matter what might
come or happen in his life, he would
not allow his faith in God and the
ultimate triumph Of the good to be
shipwrecked.        v j
In speaking to the young people,- he
said: "Give your best, ahd direct that
best, so it Will serve the needs of the

piano solo and responded to an encore, after whsich >the names of the
deceased charter ^members were read
and the audience sang, "The Beautiful
River of time."
G. C. Leibrand,'Of Bay City, who
was the first secretary of the Mt. Vernon Grange, and who spent the greater part of his ;life in Vernon township, told some interesting stories of
early pioneer life.
Mr. Leibrand endorsed the work of
the Grange and said that the selfishness of the :»eople was the cause of
most disputes which makes work for
the courts and lawyers, and gave as
the remedy,.a closer fellowship which
conies from organizations like the
Grange where understanding and
good feeling is promoted.
Mr. Taylor, who conducted singing
schools in .Barry county many years

John C. Ketchum in his classes, sang
the solo, "The Sweetest Story Ever

Work is Best" by Van Dyke.
It was a notable occasion for this
real, live Grange, and will do much to
advance and promote its work and interest in the Suture.

ENFORCED CLEAN-UP
COMMENDED IN STATE
Corn Borer   Regulatory   Forces
Engaged in Compulsory Work
in  Town   and   Country   to
P.rotect    Farmers     Who
Have Complied    With
Control Measures.
Enforced clean-up of corn lane in
the country and corn patches in and
about cities and villages throughout
the corn borer infested area is progressing rapidly, acording to C. O.
Larrabee, supervisor of corn borer
control work in the state. The Government will afford complete protection to farmers who have cleaned up
their premises in an effort to control
the pest.
County corn borer supervisors have
been furnished with notices to serve
on owners of property who have made
no attempt to comply with regulations.
Two days after the papers are served,
the regulatory forces have the authority to enter upon the premises and enforce the cleari-up. The cost of such
enforced clean-up will be assessed-
against the owner of the property and
collected on the same basis as taxes
according to existing state legislation.
Forces of men and trucks known as
"scavenger crews" are at work in
cities and villages disposing of corn
debris remaining in home gardens, and
in subdivisions plats, Government
crews with plows and tractors, are
busily engaged cleaning up farms in
the country.
No attempt will be made to molest
those who are seriously engaged in
cleaning up their premises. Larrabee
advises that they go ahead and complete their jobs. He anticipates that
very little Work of an enforced nature
will have to ,be done, as compared to
the whole, as indications, are that
over 90 per cent of the clean-up work
in the state will be done voluatartiyv

Gladwin Last Frida/y
fTwd"high school baseball teams
'who won every game this season, met
on the Gladwin diamond last Friday,
and when the game ended, Clare had
another Victory to their credit, while
Gladwin had gone down to defeat by
the score of five to three.
The Gladwin .boys garnered eight
hits while Clare secured seven, but
the hits made by Clare were timely
ones, while the Gladwin hits were
scattered aud did not count for much!
Cluley and Stanley were on the rubber for Clare, and both proved effective in the tight places of the game
Enthusiastic baseball fans who
have watched high school games for'
years, state that Clare has as good a
team this year as the local school has
ever produced.
The game with Coleman Tuesday
was'postponed on account of rain and
will be scheduled later. The boys
played at Reed City yesterday, but the
game was not finished before the
Sentinel went to press.

Serious Injury to Organs.
Melvin Stevens, the fifteen year old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Stevens,
accidently shot himself in the abdomen while cleaning a small revolver
in a shed at the rear of his home last
Saturday afternoon.
Dr. B. J. Sanford was called and advised that the lad be taken to a hospital where an X-ray could be taken
to locate the bullet.
Mr. Stevens and Harvey Erter took
the lad to Bay City, and the examination and X-ray revealed the fact that
none of the vital organs had been injured, and the bullet had lodged between the ribs.
The surgeons decided that an operation would not be necessary, and
the lad is recovering from the wound
and expects to be home today!

AND JESSE BECOMES
AN EXPERT PITCHER
It has been rumored that - Jesse
Hampton, recently visited his brother
Burnie, of Harrison, who is an expert
at horse shoe pitching, and there was
given some instructions in. the fine
points of this fascinating game.
At any rate, Jesse has become a
very enthusiastic follower of the
sport, and it was largely through his
efforts that a court has been laid ouT
on the lot, oh east fourth street just
west of Howlett's plumbing shop.
Mectric lights have been placed0 over
the court and games are played there
night arid day.
A club is to be formed and officers
elected, aud tournaments with 'the
clubs at Harrison and other nearby
towns and coumunities will be held
during the summer.
ATTY. SCHNITZLER
TALKS IN BEHALF OF
CRIPPLED CHILDREN
Speaker States  That   Michigan
Alone Has 12,000 Crippled
Children.
"Crippled children do not want or
need sympathy. It is encouragement they need, for every crippled
child has developed an inferiority
comflex, as they have seen other children run, play and do * the things
which they cannot do." *
This -was the statement made by
Attorney Joseph Schnitzier, of Mt.
Pleasant, in his address at the Clare
high school auditorium, Monday evening, his subject being: "The
Psychology of the Crippled Child."    .
The meeting was held under , the
auspices of the Clare Chamber of
Commerce, and was called to order
by President, T. Carl Holbrook, who
introduced B. N. Mercer, chairman of
the committee recently appointed in
charge of this work, as chairman of
the meeting.
The audience were entertained with
several selections by the Farwell
orchestra, under the direction "of Mrs.
Madge Lamb. This excellent musical
organization' very generously donated
their services for this occasion.
Mr. Mercer introduced Mr. Schnitzier, who is eminently fitted to speak
on the subject of the Crippled Child,
as he has been fighting a bone' disease since he was ten years of age and
has submitted to sixteen major surgical operations and lost both legs and
one arm.
But with all this suffering and affliction, he Jias worked his way
through high school, and the Detroit
College of Law, and now has a lucrative law practice in Mt. Pleasant, and
is able to contribute to the support of
his aged parents.
Wednesday Mr. Schnitzier started
for Ostend, Belgium, where he will
represent the Mt, Pleasant Rotary
rlub as a delegate to the International
Rotary convention. Before returning
home, he will tour Ger~iany, France,
Belgium and Italy.
Mr. Schnitzier stated that there are
twelve thousand crippled children in
Michigan, and while the state has
made provision for the treatment of
theRe cases, yet the great difficulty
has been to discover them, as many
parents through ignorance feel the
shame of having a crippled child. The
speaker said that much of this work
of discovering the crippled children in
the several communities, and making
arrangements for tbeir treatment, had
been done by luncheon clubs, such as
Rotary, but this had become too great
a tazli, and because smaller cities,
towns and rural communities had no
luncheon clubs, it was thought best
to organize a chapter in each county.
He said that at least three-fourths
of the disease which are .the cause of
persons becoming crippled could be
?ured if treated intelligently and in
time.
Mr. .Schnitzier said that in helping
the crippled child, a person was not
only doing a service for the unfortunate, but i'-r society as well, as every
crippled person who became self-supporting, ceased to be a cripple, even
though they continued to be physical-
'y handicapped.
At the close of the address, an opportunity Via given for those present
-o become members .of the Clare
bounty Chapter for crippled children,
arid fifty applications were signed.
Mr. B. N. Mercer was elected pres-
.uent o; Jie chapter and given author-
ty to r.»mo the officers and directors,
md th? complete list wiil be printed
n the bentinel next week.

ECHOES FROM THE WEST.
We are in receipt of a folder, "Pictorial Map of Hood River Valley,
Ore., from Chas. S. Lee, of that city,
formerly of Clare, it shows an airplane view of the valley and surrounding mountains looking south from the
Columbia river and 'Mt. Hood with it
elevation of 11,225 feet. The folder
relates many of the beauties to be
seen by rail or as tourists, showing a
crevasse on the snow fields of' Mt.
Hood and a party climbing same with
norses. The photos showing the sport
of tobaggan slides on Mt. Hood, -the
fishing, golf links, and bathing
beaches, the fine dairy farms, and
the cherry orchards. The lumber industry ranks second to fruit which
acreage is. valued 'from §500 to $750.
Mr. Lee also marks the map showing
his location, which does not appear
to be far from the depot, where all
are assured a warm welcome when
sightseeing in his state.
To convince us and our readers of
the speed and service Uncle Sam
gives us, H. M. Davis sent us a post
card by air mail from Ponca, Oklahoma, which was in our hands twenty-
eight hours after entering the -post
office of that city. He states that this
city has 17,000 population, has more
money,   fine   homes,   wealthy   people,
MISS LAILA WILSON
DESCRIBES TRIP
Writer States,, A hat This is
Truly an Age of Speed to
See So Much in So *
Short a Time.
The following article, which was
written by Miss Laila Wilson, briefly
describes the ten day trip taken by
herself and Mrs. Wilma Achard April
15th and will be of interest to a large
number of their friends and our readers:
A trip in the East in April has many
advantages. One can see the progress of spring can be comfortably
dressed and miss all the summer
crowds. New York* had .one day of
88 degree's temperature which was
the hottest April day ever recorded.
This hot day, of course, ended with a
thunder storm which seemed like a
valley storm with high canyons c;a all
sides' to 'echo the thunder. Aside
from carrying an umbrella the one
day in N. Y., we had beautiful -weather the entire ten days.
Boarding the Baltimore and Ohio at
Detroit, we found only four other young
women to make up our party. One
was the railroad representative who
had charge of all tickets and baggage
and who had scheduled all busses to
meet us at the various stops for side
trips. In all we had three nights on
the sleeper, tvi nights each at hotels
in Washington and New York City
and one night at the new Warwick in
Philadelphia. Our daylight hours
were full of sight-seeing, our evenings
spent at the theatres, while service,
meals and accommodations were so
Well arranged that there was plenty
of time for rest.
The first stop was at Harper's
Ferry. Three states (Maryland,,Virginia, West Virginia) and- two rivers
(Potomac and Shenandoah) meet here
and together with the- Blue Ridge
mountains and the resulting vallies it
makes a panorama of beautiful scenery. We could have reached Washington in time for church but perfer-
red to spend the two hours after
breakfast here to see John Brown's
Fort and other reminders of Civil
War days.
Like Washington, we crossed the
Deleware and the city named fpr him
captivated us. It is famed for its
many trees, for its circles and star-
pointed parks. With its many large
white buildings and monuments, it
sparkles with cleanliness. The magnolia trees were in bloom and the
later Japanese Cherry trees Called
the double blossoms were beautiful
but it was too late for the wonderful
better streets and buildings than any
