New heroes rise above the toiling throng,
And daily tome resplendent into view,
To pass again, remembered by a few,
And leave one form in bold relief and strong
That higher looms as ages niarch along—
One name that lingers in the memory, too---
And singers thru all time shall raise the song
And keep it swelling loud and ringing true!
Lp, where the feet of Lincoln passed, the earth
Is sacred—Where he sleeps we set a shrine!
O, to have pressed his hand! That had sufficed
To make my children wonder at my

Hath jeared the greatest martyr after

Public is Urged  to Attend

View   Exhibits   and
Hear R. V. Gunn
The Clare Chapter, No, 110, of the
Future Farmers of America has announced February 13th as the data
for their Second Annual Mid-Winter
Fair. This second fair promises to be
a much larger one than the one of
last year. The entry list has been
enlarged and a few premiums added.
The boys are busy polishing up theii)
entries and grading and selecting
them. Several first prizes of a dollai;
look mighty good to them and there
will be plenty of rivalry. Besides,
there is a champion ribbon for the
one who makes the greatest number
of points besides a dollar extra.
The fair is of three parts—the first
for the Clare boys when they exhibit
their grains, potatoes, etc., for which
they receive cash prizes. The second
part is that of judging and seed identification. . The boys from nearbv
Future Farmer Chapters have been
invited to participate in the. judging
of common grains, beans, potatoes and
the identification of various seeds.
Representatives From Clare,   This is a sort of preliminary before
Junior Farmers Week in May at
which all boys are expected to do
some judging. Then in the afternoon
the boys put on their.,.own program.
Each visiting chapter is asked to present something of interest that will
take about 10 to 15 minutes.
(Continuea oh Page Ten)
The hea\iest snowfall of the season
began here Monday evening and by
daybreak Tuesday we found ourselves
heavy blanketed. Pedestrains found
it difficult to stay On foot as a heavy
bed of ice lie beneath the new fallen
snow. Motorists needed a "shove"
through drifts and at parking places.
The County Road Commission was
out early'with "their large plows on
the highways and the city plow cared for the sidewalks. A crew of local
men were bu'sy Wednesday and
Thursday removing ' the banks, of
snow from our main 'thoroughfare.
Wednesday was an ideal day with
oodles of sunshine but-did not decrease the snow to' any extend.
Thursday morning again found the/
thermometer below the mero mark so
it looks as if we will be draped in
white for several days.
