FUNNIEST TEAM
ON SCREEN TO
BE HERE AUG. 16
"Five and Ten Cent Annie"
to be Shown at Princess
Firemen's Field Day.
"Five and Ten Cent Annie," a
.Warner Bros.' production featuring
not only Louise Fazenda, but Clyde
Cook and William Demarest, comes
to the Princess Theatre Firemen's
Field Day, August 16th. Included in
the cast are Gertrude Astor, Douglas
Qerrard, Tom Ricketts and Eddie
Haffner. The slapstick comedy is
based on a story by Leon Zurade.
Charles Condon wrote the scenario
and Roy Del Ruth directed.
Louise Fazenda gives one of her
most mirthfully human impersonations, as Annie, clerk at the five and
ten, an ardent admirer of Elmer Peck,
street cleaner played by Clyde Cook.
The latter unexpectedly fails heir to
his deceased uncle's fortune, 'and
with the cash he also inherits his
uncle's valet, Briggs, played by Dem*
p.rest. Briggs feels that he himself
should have heeli the ■ legatee, and
proceeds to make life a hotfoot tor- j
ment for his timid master, among
other things having him shanghaied,
and this after Elmer has been properly married to the ardent Annie. The
bride follows her husband to sea, donning for the purpose the garb of a
seaman, and it is while on the rolling
deep that the ludicrous complications
arise which are convulsing audiences
everywhere the picture is shown.
"Five and Ten Cent Annie" will be
at the Princess Theatre, August 16th
and will be one of the free attractions
listed by the firemen for that day.

Enjoyable Program.
PICNIC AT WILSON STATE PARK
The Hunting an_ Fishing Club will
hold a basket picnic 'at Wilson State
Park Thursday, August 9th. Beside
the general lines of amusement, fly
arid bait casting contests and water
sports will be scheduled. Wild life

Earlier by several days than hereto
fore the dates of the Northern District Fair at Cadillac have just been
announced. Monday September tenth
will be the opening day although the
attraction features for Monday of Fair
week will be confined to the evening."
Something entirely different in the
way of entertaining their patrons will
be provided by the Fair Management
this year. There will be participants
in the program who have proven successful on the vaudville stage, musical
artists who are worthy of that name
Some of the old time circus .stunts
will not appear on the program but
their places will be taken by free
acts far more expensive and desirable.
The new stock barns are expected
to provide for a largely increased exhibit of fine cattle and the increased
premiums are expected to insure a yet
better showing in all other lines of exhibits.
Further information from time to
time will be given through The Sentinel as to preparation and progress of
the Northern District Fair but enough
is known at this time to insure our
readers that the coming Fair at Cadillac will be 'superior in every vjay to
even the best of previous years.

CURRIE THRESi
RN METHOD:
Two Men Operate Machinery Which Harvests and
Threshes Grain in
Field,
The first combination Harvester
Xhresher to be used in this seetipn of
Jhc sUte was placed in oporation on
die W. E. CuiTie farm southwest oi
Clare Wednesday, and the demonstra
lion was witnessed by a large crowd
of business men and farmers.
Thla machine cuts a ten toot swath,
threshes the grain, separates it ana
delivers it to a grain tank and the
straw is scattered on the field for
fertilizer for future crops.
A tractor is used.for motive power
and only one man 'is necessary to
operate the harvester thresher, thus
the work of harvesting and threshing
the grain is accomplished by two
men.
It is the most modern and complete
machine of its kind built by the International Harvester Company and if
the straw is to be used for bedding
or "other purposes, the carrier can be
removed and the straw may then be
gathered in windrows ■by'a side, de4
livery rake and loaded with a hay
loader, and taken to the barn free
from dust, . .'.—■■■.
Mr. Currie has seventy acres of
wheat, thirty-five acres of barley and
eighty acres of oats this year, but he
expects to greatly increase his wheat
acreage for next year.
This large farm is one of the finest
in this section of the state and it has
always been the policy of the owner
to secure the most up-to-date machinery or equipment. Mr. Currie is anticipating the purchase of a corn harvesting machine this fall.

July 29th heing Jeff Hartman's
birthday Mrs. Hartman and daughter],
Carrie Green decided to have a surprise on Dad and it was truly *a surprise. Friday night, Glen and family
drove in to spend the week end, and
Sunday morning the cars began to
come, everyone just happened home
so they told Dad until Frank Hart-
man and mother, Mrs. Bessie Hart-
man came and brought the birthday
cake, with candles on, then .Dad
could stand it no longer just broke
down, (all were sad for a minute)-
The cake was baked at the Oviatt
bakery at Midland where Frank
works. It stood a foot aud half high
with the seventy candles burning, it
sure was beautiful, and tasted more
so.
The tables were spread on ' the
lawn aud when they called dinner
they marched to the table, Dad and
mother first, then Mr. and Mrs. Claud
Hartman and family, of Houghton U.
P,," Mr. and Mrs. Will Hartman, of
Bay City; Mr. and Mrs. Glen and family, of Pontiac; Mi*, -and Mrs. Roy
Gordon and family, Mil and, Mjb,

Hartman, of Midland; Mr. and Mr»
A. J. Freed, Mrs. William Hilborn and
two grandchildren, Mrs. Bessie Hartman, Carrie Pervorse, all of Clare
and Mack Alwood, of Battle Creek.
When all were seated Nina Freed,
and Carrie Pervorse sang. A
"Dear Dad how we love you,
We're happy today,
Just to know you are with us, it
makes us feel gay,
O, we.thinkhow you've foiled here
for seventy- long years, .
You and mother have reared usy
thru heartaches and tears,
O your thots have been on us: both
early and late,
So we've come' here today just tc*
help celebrate.,
You've loved us and kissed us when
our hearts they were sad,
O, how we love you, Mother and
Dad."
Composed by Carrie Pervorse.
The chicken and every thing that
makes up a big feast, and the birthday cake in the center, all lit up, It
surely had to been seen to know how
lovely the table looked.
Then, of course, a nice looking
bunch of people like we were around
it surely added to it.
At five-thirty eight water melons
were cut and placed on the table on
trays and ten gallons of ice cream
was brought on. We nardly were able
to get in the cars and some didn't,
they just had to stay a few days with
Mother and Dad. It truly was the
end of a perfect day. Here is hoping
Dad lives seventy more years.. There
was only one of the children that
could not be there, Pearl Hartman, of
Grand Rapids, he was sure missed. ■
It was indeed a surprise when Claud
and family drove in as he had sent
word he couldn't possibly come. Mr.
Hartman received many useful and
beautiful presents among them was a
five dollar gold piece from Bessie
Hartman.
"One of the lucky ones." .
It has again been called, to: my attention that boys -hav. been swimming
in the Tobacco- river without bathing
suits. Of course this conditions -cannot be tolerated in the least, Therefore, from now on boys bathing in
the river without swimming suits or
trunks, will be taken before proper
authorities,for attention.
This notice Is given the boys in the
feeling that it will be sufficient to
stop the practice .mentioned above.'

"Five and Ten Cent Annie" a .Warner Bros.' production featuring not only Louise Fazenda, but Clyde Cook and William Demarest, comes to the Princess Theatre Firemen's Field Day, August 16th. Included in the cast are Gertrude Astor, Douglas Qerrard, Tom Ricketts and Eddie Haffner. The slapstick comedy is based on a story by Leon Zurade. Charles Condon wrote the scenario and Roy Del Ruth directed. Louise Fazenda gives one of her most mirthfully human impersonations, as Annie, clerk at the five and ten, an ardent admirer of Elmer Peck, street cleaner played by Clyde Cook. The latter unexpectedly fails heir to his deceased uncle's fortune, 'and with the cash he also inherits his uncle's valet, Briggs, played by Dem* p.rest. Briggs feels that he himself should have heeli the ■ legatee, and proceeds to make life a hotfoot tor- j ment for his timid master, among other things having him shanghaied, and this after Elmer has been properly married to the ardent Annie. The bride follows her husband to sea, donning for the purpose the garb of a seaman, and it is while on the rolling deep that the ludicrous complications arise which are convulsing audiences everywhere the picture is shown. "Five and Ten Cent Annie" will be at the Princess Theatre, August 16th and will be one of the free attractions listed by the firemen for that day.

CURRIE THRESi RN METHOD: Two Men Operate Machinery Which Harvests and Threshes Grain in Field, The first combination Harvester Xhresher to be used in this seetipn of Jhc sUte was placed in oporation on die W. E. CuiTie farm southwest oi Clare Wednesday, and the demonstra lion was witnessed by a large crowd of business men and farmers. Thla machine cuts a ten toot swath, threshes the grain, separates it ana delivers it to a grain tank and the straw is scattered on the field for fertilizer for future crops. A tractor is used.for motive power and only one man 'is necessary to operate the harvester thresher, thus the work of harvesting and threshing the grain is accomplished by two men. It is the most modern and complete machine of its kind built by the International Harvester Company and if the straw is to be used for bedding or "other purposes, the carrier can be removed and the straw may then be gathered in windrows ■by'a side, de4 livery rake and loaded with a hay loader, and taken to the barn free from dust, . .'.—■■■. Mr. Currie has seventy acres of wheat, thirty-five acres of barley and eighty acres of oats this year, but he expects to greatly increase his wheat acreage for next year. This large farm is one of the finest in this section of the state and it has always been the policy of the owner to secure the most up-to-date machinery or equipment. Mr. Currie is anticipating the purchase of a corn harvesting machine this fall.

Composed by Carrie Pervorse. The chicken and every thing that makes up a big feast, and the birthday cake in the center, all lit up, It surely had to been seen to know how lovely the table looked. Then, of course, a nice looking bunch of people like we were around it surely added to it. At five-thirty eight water melons were cut and placed on the table on trays and ten gallons of ice cream was brought on. We nardly were able to get in the cars and some didn't, they just had to stay a few days with Mother and Dad. It truly was the end of a perfect day. Here is hoping Dad lives seventy more years.. There was only one of the children that could not be there, Pearl Hartman, of Grand Rapids, he was sure missed. ■ It was indeed a surprise when Claud and family drove in as he had sent word he couldn't possibly come.
