We piay two concerts a day besidea

time is quite fully occupied and I do
not rind as mucn time fur writing

I never was healthier in my life and
I can't help but feel that this is the
my life and
anything. I
hope you are both In the beat of
health and that you are not. worrying
about me.
I see Don Canfield often and Frank
Jackson is quartered in a college
right next to the theatre where 1 am.
I just wish it were possible for you
co be with me and see this wonderful country. It is very old and every
thing is old-faBbioned, but it is all
very beautiful. Tbe city water is not
very good for drinking purpose but
near here tbere are many of the old
fashi ned chain and hncket wells
from wbicb we can draw the finest
water I ever drank.
Last evening at supper I met one
of my old room-mates who went to
the Normal. I haven't seen nor
heard of him for four years. It was
a great meeting. You can't imagine
wbat a feeling it is to meet an old
friend over here, tie just cams yesterday and is going away in a few
daya. but bis quarters are just a few
miles from bere.
We get very good meals, have a
good place to sleep anri am getting
tbe sort of education that no scbool
can give, and 1 hope to return before
a year perhaps to tei! you all about it.

Time.
The Liberty Loan meeting at tbe'
Methodist church un Mouday evening was a success. Our "Libprty
Band' grown into goodly proportions
en t his occasion, furnished some fine
music and several good addresses
were delivered.
Rev. Davis presided and introduced
Mra. Mills of Grand Rapids wbo
spuke earnestly io an appeal for all
to dc tbeir doty in this crisis.
Mr Piatt of Detroit devoted his
speech mostly to giving figures, giving some facts new to all perhaps.
Tbe money called for bv tbis loan, he
said, has already been spent, having
been borrowed of tbe banks under
toe plan iu vogue for some time and
this was needed lo repay tbese loans.
So far there have oeen only 800 bond
buyers in this county while there
sbouid be 1600.
Mr. Hippler, a natiye born 'ier-
man, made a most interesting address. He knows German methods
thoroughly and warned against any
idea of a peace in tbe immediate future The present German government must be utterly crushed before
tbat can come.
Mr. T»tman followed with a few
remarks, announcing tbe trebling of
bis suoscriptioo. and soon S2,000 was
subscribed.

Anna Franziska Ott nee Rose was
born iu Germany May 30tb., 1869. In
1887, she witn her mother and one
sister came to this country to join
her father and brotber who bad come
to America a few years be'ore. Sbe
was united in marriage to Jobn Ott

short flvt* weeks preceded ber in

deatb could not part tbem long.
Husband, two daughters, one sister.*
fatber and mother preceded her in
deatb. She reached the age of 49
years, 4 months and II days. A loving mother, a good sister and kind
neighbor, always willing to belp in
sickness or ctber needs.
She leaves to mourn ber departure
3 daughters, 2 sons, 1 daughter-in-law.
1 grandson, 1 sister and 1 brotber,
aiso a host of relatives and friend",
Funeral services were conducted at
tbe Ott ecbool house Sunday afternoon by Rev. Cbarles Kleinbart, assisted by Rev, Stocky of Detroit.
Her dear body was laid at rest in tbe
family burying ground to await the
blest Resurrection morn.
When tbs blessed golden morning
breaks forever,
And the eartblife witb its shadows
passed away,
Witb enraptured vision she will gaze
in wonder,
On tbe glories of tbe everlasting
day.

An unofficial report of Germany's
acceptance of Pres. Wileon'a "14
points " with request fur armistice j noticed
was flashed over the wires ou Saturday evening aud many people seemed
to think tbat tbe end of tbe was is
close at band. Clare bad another
celebration over tbe event, consisting of bonfire' music and speeches.
We cannot give details as we did
not witness it:
Let no one be deceived by tbis move
ot Germany. It is simply a tric-x to
gain time. To our mind tbe granting of an armistice at thie time wculd
be a calamity. If Germany conld
secure tbis ^sbe would be perfectly
willing t o discuss Mr. Wilson's
"Fourteen Points," tbe "Five Points
of Calvinism" or anything else while
she moved ber aimies hack to a new
line acd digs in. Tbe way to end the
war quickly and save life is to push
forward ceaselessly, giving tbe Germans do time to prepare a new position.
All wil! be glad that Pres. Wilson
promptly rejected any proposition for
a talkfesl and oailed tbe attention of
those in authority in Germany to the
f ict tbat proposals of peace come
with a poor grace from a nation violating all the laws of civilized warfare.
The world has bad enough of the
treachery and dnplicity of tbe
"Potsdam gang" and sbouid not be
deceived by any new form in wbich
it may appear.

Three auctions are noticed tbia
week and to these we call tbe attention of our readers.
WABBBB ALWOOD.
Mr. Alwood bas a sale Oct. 2*2 near

He offers a good iot of stock, some
tools, grain and fodder. Thos.

JOHN H. MARTIN.
Mr. Martin wbo lives near the cemetery in this city has sold hie farm
and wiil bave a sale Oct. 30. Full
particulars next week.
Rev. Josepb A. Green of Mt. Pleasant delivered a fine address at the
Congregational church on "Sunday
evening and yet it was a difficult one
to summarize. Mr. GreeD was evidently tired and did not follow a line
of thought as closely as be otherwise
would. For a man seriously, earnest
ly to attempt anything aud utterly
fail is one of tbe greatest tragedies
of life. He believes very earnesty in
a practical religion and has little use
for ancient dogmas. He feels perfectly sure tbat bis life during tbe
week will influence bie congregation
mucb more tban bis sermon on Snn
day. It ia utterly impossible for any
one to be happy acd selfish at the
same "time. Tbe war is working
wonderful changes in tbe life and
thought of the people, and a new and
better conception of religion is likely
to result.

John K. Martin who lives near

from here in tbe near latere Tbey
expect to spend the winter in Detroit
and locate permanently somewhere
in tbe eoutb part of the state. Tbe
departure of tbese worthy people will
be deeply regretted.
the agreeable part of a country, I
have seen some very quaint castles.
Those that were occupied bv the old
historic knights that we read of and
read of wben we we/e in school.
There is one thing tbat Is very!
striking here and tbat is the miW i
and miles of the stone fences tbat i
encircle tbe old castles that enclose
tbe grounds and helped in those days
to keep off the enemy.
To get up to a great height and
look out on tbe surrounding country
it is very pretty. But to get down to
the level it >s not eo striking.
You must bear in mind that I am
not speaking of one particular place
but of the wbole I have seen tte
greatest part of Ireland from north [
to soutb. I have been thru England
and Wales. England is fairly pretty
and I tbink tbat is tbe prettiest of
tbe two. It is far more advanced,
but there are reasons fer it being eo.
Which I think we are ail familiar
with
I see by the paper that some of tbe
otber young men in the County bave
also joined tbe Navy wbich is the

It would eef m as if ail the people
for miles around were here on Wed-
nfroday morning to see the ''Exhibit
Train." We say nothing now of the
exhibits as something else is more
important. Of course the chief purpose of ti'.in train is ta boom the Liberty Loan and it certainly seems to
b;> doing effective work along tbat
line. Ever-* soldier after relating
bin personal experiences, ended with
an appeal for the loan as something
vitally necessary to the winniDg of
the war.
Postmaster Jackson introduced
Dixon ('. Williams of Chicago, wbo
spoke of various features of the exhibit and then of the great question
that snonld bf> absorbing our attention. He introduced two-American
soldiers who had been wounded, one
of them badly gassed. Botb told of
their experiences and both plead for
tbe Loan. Two French soldiers, one
of them a descendant cf Lata ette,
were enthusiastically greeted. Both
wore many" decorations for acts cf
bravery. One of them speaks good
English and declared that nothing
will end the war but the utter defeat
of Germany.
Wtn. Rainey Bennett cf Chicago
was-t'ie l«(*t spi-aker and he made an
impassioned pli=a for th© Loan. Germany is watcblDg us and nothing will
so discourage her as the success of
this loan. More depends on ite success
tban most folks realize and »e must
not let it fail.
ELSIE SLATER
Seriously Sick At St Paul Minn.

Farm Barn Burns.
Lewis Hales of Vernou bad tbe misfortune to lose a barn by fire on Tuesday morning. Tbe origin of tbe fire
is a mystery. He was awakened
about 4 a. m. by tbe crackling of the
fire and managed to save the borees
acd harness but cotbing-else so far
bad tbe fire progressed. Tbe barn
contained some 12 tons of bay, 9 acres
of beans, 200 bushels of oats, a manure spreader, cutter and some otber
tools. By bard work the granary only 60 feet away was saved.
Tbe barn was insured for 9600.
There was also some insurance on
contents, bow mucb we have not
learned.
Our readers will remember au interesting letter we publiehed eome
time ago from Miss Elsie Slater, describing her work as nurse in the
military hospital at St Paul. Sbe expected to go overseas about Oct. 1st
but Sunday her father, Louis Slater
j o f Sheridan Twp., received a tei**- '
I gram tbat sbe was seriously ill with
pneumonia. On Monday there came
another that she was improviog. We
bave heard notbing further, and
truet the anxioue parents may soon
know tbat tbeir daughter ie out of
danger.
WILLIAM DINGMAN
Seriously Sick At Gamp Custer
With Pneumonia.
'The Beast Of Berlin.
On Monday Pean Dunley left for
Camp Custer in response to a telegram announcing tbat Mr. William
Dingman, a Clare Co. soldier boy is
serlousiy sick with pneumonia. Mr.
Dingman had for a number cf years
made bis home witb Mr. Dnnlay and
waa witb bim in the store at Elm
Grove. He went out with tbe first
contingent from tbis county. Whether be bad tbe Spaniab Influenza prior
to pneumonia, Mr. Dunlay does not
know.
Tbe story of bow one man, tbtr
Kaiser. tried to rule tbe world, will
be told in tbe great spectacle, Tbe
Raieer, the Beast of Berlin, which
shows at tbe Princess Theatre on
Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 21 aud 22,
matinees and evening.
By a trick of circumstanses tbe
weal of mankind was placed for a
moment in the band of an arrant egoist, tyrant, madman—William of
Hohenzoiiern. The greatest crime in>
all history was perpetrated tbat ONE
man might find for HIMSELF aplace
in the sun.
All the great characters of the war
period—Kings, generals, Raiser,

MORE HELP
Were it not tbat tbe Liberty Loan

this week, we would like to devote a
column to tbe unique plan used to

suspect tbere were very few people
in tbe city wbo were net there. Tbey
bad an opportunity to see the school
at work under unueual conditions,
perhaps now tbey will be encouraged
to eee tbem under normal conditions.
We shall revert to this matter again.

An unofficial report of Germany's acceptance of Pres. Wileon'a "14 points " with request fur armistice j noticed was flashed over the wires ou Saturday evening aud many people seemed to think tbat tbe end of tbe was is close at band. Clare bad another celebration over tbe event, consisting of bonfire' music and speeches. We cannot give details as we did not witness it: Let no one be deceived by tbis move ot Germany. It is simply a tric-x to gain time. To our mind tbe granting of an armistice at thie time wculd be a calamity. If Germany conld secure tbis ^sbe would be perfectly willing t o discuss Mr. Wilson's "Fourteen Points" tbe "Five Points of Calvinism" or anything else while she moved ber aimies hack to a new line acd digs in. Tbe way to end the war quickly and save life is to push forward ceaselessly, giving tbe Germans do time to prepare a new position. All wil! be glad that Pres. Wilson promptly rejected any proposition for a talkfesl and oailed tbe attention of those in authority in Germany to the f ict tbat proposals of peace come with a poor grace from a nation violating all the laws of civilized warfare. The world has bad enough of the treachery and dnplicity of tbe "Potsdam gang" and sbouid not be deceived by any new form in wbich it may appear. Wexford, Ireland. •» September, 9th 5918.

Mr. Martin wbo lives near the cemetery in this city has sold hie farm and wiil bave a sale Oct. 30. Full particulars next week. Rev. Josepb A. Green of Mt. Pleasant delivered a fine address at the Congregational church on "Sunday evening and yet it was a difficult one to summarize. Mr. GreeD was evidently tired and did not follow a line of thought as closely as be otherwise would. For a man seriously, earnest ly to attempt anything aud utterly fail is one of tbe greatest tragedies of life. He believes very earnesty in a practical religion and has little use for ancient dogmas. He feels perfectly sure tbat bis life during tbe week will influence bie congregation mucb more tban bis sermon on Snn day. It ia utterly impossible for any one to be happy acd selfish at the same "time. Tbe war is working wonderful changes in tbe life and thought of the people, and a new and better conception of religion is likely to result.

Tbe departure of tbese worthy people will be deeply regretted. the agreeable part of a country, I have seen some very quaint castles. Those that were occupied bv the old historic knights that we read of and read of wben we we/e in school. There is one thing tbat Is very! striking here and tbat is the miW i and miles of the stone fences tbat i encircle tbe old castles that enclose tbe grounds and helped in those days to keep off the enemy. To get up to a great height and look out on tbe surrounding country it is very pretty. But to get down to the level it >s not eo striking. You must bear in mind that I am not speaking of one particular place but of the wbole I have seen tte greatest part of Ireland from north [ to soutb. I have been thru England and Wales. England is fairly pretty and I tbink tbat is tbe prettiest of tbe two. It is far more advanced, but there are reasons fer it being eo. Which I think we are ail familiar with I see by the paper that some of tbe otber young men in the County bave also joined tbe Navy wbich is the beet branch of the service. All success to tbem.

' It would eef m as if ail the people for miles around were here on Wed- nfroday morning to see the ''Exhibit Train." We say nothing now of the exhibits as something else is more important. Of course the chief purpose of ti'.in train is ta boom the Liberty Loan and it certainly seems to b;> doing effective work along tbat line. Ever-* soldier after relating bin personal experiences, ended with an appeal for the loan as something vitally necessary to the winniDg of the war. Postmaster Jackson introduced Dixon ('. Williams of Chicago, wbo spoke of various features of the exhibit and then of the great question that snonld bf> absorbing our attention. He introduced two-American soldiers who had been wounded, one of them badly gassed. Botb told of their experiences and both plead for tbe Loan. Two French soldiers, one of them a descendant cf Lata ette, were enthusiastically greeted. Both wore many" decorations for acts cf bravery. One of them speaks good English and declared that nothing will end the war but the utter defeat of Germany. Wtn. Rainey Bennett cf Chicago was-t'ie l«(*t spi-aker and he made an impassioned pli=a for th© Loan. Germany is watcblDg us and nothing will so discourage her as the success of this loan. More depends on ite success tban most folks realize and »e must not let it fail. ELSIE SLATER Seriously Sick At St Paul Minn. Was Improving. Farm Barn Burns. Lewis Hales of Vernou bad tbe misfortune to lose a barn by fire on Tuesday morning. Tbe origin of tbe fire is a mystery. He was awakened about 4 a. m. by tbe crackling of the fire and managed to save the borees acd harness but cotbing-else so far bad tbe fire progressed. Tbe barn contained some 12 tons of bay, 9 acres of beans, 200 bushels of oats, a manure spreader, cutter and some otber tools. By bard work the granary only 60 feet away was saved. Tbe barn was insured for 9600. There was also some insurance on contents, bow mucb we have not learned.
