Mr. Bryan headed "Write

plores everybody to write Pres. Wilson, to both bis senators and to his
memoirs of Congress, telling all of
tbem tbe people are all against preparedness. Tne tide in favor of this
has passed, Mr. Bryan thinks, but to
make assurances doubly sure
body ebould write.
We bave no doubt Pres. Wilson
expecting a letter from us but
shall not write any. If we were to
do so, we should advise bim to go
ahead witb a preparedness program
and pay no attention to men oi the
Bryan stripe. A man who thinks
that tha way to ward off burglars is
to leive your doors unlocked and advertise to the world tnat you p'osi-
tively keep no firearms, is past reasoning with. The nation which depends for its safety on keeping itself
beneath contempt is in a bad way.
If the present war and the treatment
meted out to China in the past bas
not taught Mr. Bryan anything,
neither would he comprehend though
one rose from the dead.
Mr. Wilson is one year late with
his program. He should bave begun
one year ago, but tben be was inclined to ridicule tbe idea. Re is
certainly an astute politician and
keeps tab on public opinion. Months
ago one of the leading magazines in
this country declared ^that "preparedness" would be the foremost issue
in the next presidential campaign.
The man in this country who has
the clearest vision of tbe mighty
struggle going on across the ocean
and wbo has seen most clearly the
duty of this country, is Theodore
Roosevelt. People may call him a
jingo or what they please, he knows
what he is talking about and he has
tbe conrage of his convictions. The
startling things Mr. Wilson said in
recent address to congress were the
things Mr. Roosevelt proclaimed a
year ago and Mr. Wilson ie only just
now catching up.

A significant instance of what proper methods of farm management can
accomplish is afforded by a certain
500-acre farm in central Michigan.
For 10 years this farm failed to pay
interest on the capital invested. One
year after the owners had been induced to make certain radical
changes the farm paid all the expenses of operation and returned
tbem 5 per cent on an investment of
$60,000. The changes wbich accomplished this financial revolution were
mm follows:
(1) Fonr-borse machinery was substituted for 2-horse
(2) The unprofitable cows in the
dairy herd were weeded out and sold
and the money received for tbem invested In better stock.
(3) A silo was built.
(4) The foreman was allowed, in
addition to bia salary, 10 per cent of
the net income from the farm. The
expenses of operating tbe farm, but
not tbe interest on the capital, were
deducted from the income before the
foreman received his percentage.
It waa thia last suggestion wbicb
met witb tbe most opposition from
tbe owners of the farm, but wben it
was pointed out to them that for
every dollar the foreman got under
such an agreement tbey would get «9

ANNOUNCEMENT
From Central Normal Rural

Last Saturday V, R. Duell and
family who have lived just north of
the corner at Dover7 for a short time,
lost not only their home, bnt considerable furniture and many boose-
hold effects as well, when the place
was consumed by fire.
A fire*had been built in the stove,
and tben Mr. Duell left the house for
a short time. But evidently tbere
was too much beat for the frame
structure to withstand. They are
staying temporarily with her parents
here.
A classified liner in Tbe Clare Sentinel will dispose ot anything you
have to sell.
For the benefit of students who
! were not able to attend school dur-
! ing the fall term, the Central State
| Normal at Mt. Pleasant will offer, in
the Rural School Dept. during the
winter term courses in tbe widest
possible range of subjects. Students
by tbis arrangement may enter on

Publish Thursday Morning
Starting with this week, the Sentinel will be issued on Thursday morning
Instead of Friday morning. This change was rendered necessary partly
from tbe fact that the rural carriers from Clare now leave at 7:30 a. m.
whicb wonld result in a delay of one day to our rural subscribers under the
old plan.
But we aiso believe that the change will be to the mutual advantage of
onr advertisers and of the many Sentinel readers who bave their mail delivered from other post-offices nearby. All tbose on rural routes will now
get the Sentinel on Friday, and will therefore have an opportunity to look
over tbe monthly bargain sales and ether special offerings of tbe Clare
merchants before coming to town the following day. As moat of these
monthly sales start on Saturday, tbe change will mean much to those who
find Clare one ot the best towns in the conntry to trade In.
Advertisers and others who have matter for pnblieaUon should bear this
change in mind, and see that "copy" reaches ns oue day earlier tban before.
Correspondents are requested to see tbat their letters are given to rnral
carriers or pat into the office on Monday without fail, ao tbat we can use
them on Tnesday.

With every- 1S Vv'f Mr. Bryan headed "Write Now, Write Often'' in wbicb plores everybody to write Pres. Wilson, to both bis senators and to his memoirs of Congress, telling all of tbem tbe people are all against preparedness. Tne tide in favor of this has passed, Mr. Bryan thinks, but to make assurances doubly sure body ebould write. We bave no doubt Pres. Wilson expecting a letter from us but shall not write any. If we were to do so, we should advise bim to go ahead witb a preparedness program and pay no attention to men oi the Bryan stripe. A man who thinks that tha way to ward off burglars is to leive your doors unlocked and advertise to the world tnat you p'osi- tively keep no firearms, is past reasoning with. The nation which depends for its safety on keeping itself beneath contempt is in a bad way. If the present war and the treatment meted out to China in the past bas not taught Mr. Bryan anything, neither would he comprehend though one rose from the dead. Mr. Wilson is one year late with his program. He should bave begun one year ago, but tben be was inclined to ridicule tbe idea. Re is certainly an astute politician and keeps tab on public opinion. Months ago one of the leading magazines in this country declared ^that "preparedness" would be the foremost issue in the next presidential campaign. The man in this country who has the clearest vision of tbe mighty struggle going on across the ocean and wbo has seen most clearly the duty of this country, is Theodore Roosevelt. People may call him a jingo or what they please, he knows what he is talking about and he has tbe conrage of his convictions. The startling things Mr. Wilson said in recent address to congress were the things Mr. Roosevelt proclaimed a year ago and Mr. Wilson ie only just now catching up. rail gathering, called for sickness in his own family. They are Mrs. John Bodkins and Mrs. David Teal of Sberidan township, Mrs. Allen Gerow of this city, Mrs. Archie Richmond of Mortlatch, Sask, and the sons, A. C. of Nelsonville, Ohio, and Will of Grant township. Mrs. Hampton became a member of the Methodist church in early life but ill health for a number of years had prevented attendance upon church services. She was universally respected and much loved by all who knew her. The funeral, conducted by Rev Frank Bates, will be held from the home this (Thursday) afternoon with burial in Cherry Grove. Fast as the rolling seasons bring The hour of fate to those we love, Each pearl that leaves the broken string Is set in Friendship's crown above. As narrower grows the earthly chain, Tbe circle widens in the sky; These are our treasures that remain, But those are stars that beam on high. FARMERS' One Farm That Was Made To Pay. But evidently enthueiasm among our bean growers is not at a very j high pitch, as not enough put in] their appearance to accomplish any- j thing. Mr. Dawson is considering I tb« advisability of notifying Prof, j McBride, head of tbe state organiza- \ tion, acd he may come bere lor a meeting later. David M. Phipps. David M. Phipps died at bis home j in Giimore Township, Isabella Co., j Saturday, Dec. I8«.h. at the age of "6 I years, 3 months and 1"> days. Mr. Phipps was born near Rich- j mond, Indiana, where he resided until the outbreak of the Civil War when he entisted ia the 101st Indiana Infantry. In the tall of 1865 he moved with his father and brother and five sisters into Giimore Twp., Isabella Co., where he resided until the day of his death. He waa married to Mary Elizabeth Waddington, Jan. lBt, 1884. To this union five children were born, three daughters and two sons, two of which died in infancy.

For 10 years this farm failed to pay interest on the capital invested. One year after the owners had been induced to make certain radical changes the farm paid all the expenses of operation and returned tbem 5 per cent on an investment of $60,000. The changes wbich accomplished this financial revolution were mm follows: (1) Fonr-borse machinery was substituted for 2-horse (2) The unprofitable cows in the dairy herd were weeded out and sold and the money received for tbem invested In better stock. (3) A silo was built. (4) The foreman was allowed, in addition to bia salary, 10 per cent of the net income from the farm. The expenses of operating tbe farm, but not tbe interest on the capital, were deducted from the income before the foreman received his percentage. It waa thia last suggestion wbicb met witb tbe most opposition from tbe owners of the farm, but wben it was pointed out to them that for every dollar the foreman got under such an agreement tbey would get «9 they yielded. —U. 8.

Home Burns At Dover. Common Council Doings. Not much of importance beyond tbe auditing of a few bills was done by tbe Council at its regular meeting Monday evening. The question of wbat to do with tramps and hoboes was brought up. It was finally agreed to turn over to the county poor commissioner alt such persons, unless they are in a crippled or helpiess condition, when tbe city wili give tbem temporary aid. A "gentleman" from Shiawassee Co., who, by a fortunate coincidence was present at the meeting, helped to solve some of tne more intricate legal phases of tbis question. How much to charge for peddling and selling on tbe streets or from house to house was again discussed, but no action taken. ANNOUNCEMENT From Central Normal Rural School Department. Last Saturday V, R. Duell and family who have lived just north of the corner at Dover7 for a short time, lost not only their home, bnt considerable furniture and many boose- hold effects as well, when the place was consumed by fire. A fire*had been built in the stove, and tben Mr. Duell left the house for a short time. But evidently tbere was too much beat for the frame structure to withstand.

Ward. v V ■ Publish Thursday Morning Starting with this week, the Sentinel will be issued on Thursday morning Instead of Friday morning. This change was rendered necessary partly from tbe fact that the rural carriers from Clare now leave at 7:30 a. m. whicb wonld result in a delay of one day to our rural subscribers under the old plan. But we aiso believe that the change will be to the mutual advantage of onr advertisers and of the many Sentinel readers who bave their mail delivered from other post-offices nearby. All tbose on rural routes will now get the Sentinel on Friday, and will therefore have an opportunity to look over tbe monthly bargain sales and ether special offerings of tbe Clare merchants before coming to town the following day. As moat of these monthly sales start on Saturday, tbe change will mean much to those who find Clare one ot the best towns in the conntry to trade In. Advertisers and others who have matter for pnblieaUon should bear this change in mind, and see that "copy" reaches ns oue day earlier tban before. Correspondents are requested to see tbat their letters are given to rnral carriers or pat into the office on Monday without fail, ao tbat we can use them on Tnesday. / 9 an m |
