For about a year and a balf the bureau of Education at Washington has
been engaged in a nation-wide inves
titration into the facilities provided
for tne education of immigrants. It
has recently begun to establish standards in subject matter and methods
of instruction. Circulars and news
letters describing tbe most effective
methods are issued, together with information regarding the most advanced facilities offered by private
institutions and school authorities.
A special department of the Bureau,
under tbe direction of Dr. H. H.
Wheaton, is given over entirely to
this work of helping to educate the
foreign born for American citizenship.
The Bureau not only deals directly
with the problem from national
pointa, bnt cooperates In various
ways with state and local agencies.
Especial emphasis is placed on the
teaching of English as the fundamental requisite in the making of a citi-
aen, for there are nearlyjthree million
foreign-born whites, ten years of age
and over, in this country who are unable to speak English. Inability to
apeak the language of tbe country ie
not only a bar to citizenship but a
barrier to anccesain busineaa. Moreover, it haa been found tbat accidents in factories and work rooms
have often been directly due to tbe
workman's inability to understand
orders given in the English language.
By cooperation with the commissioner of Immigration, the namesof immigrant children of school age are obtained from the lists of arriving
steamships. Tbese names are sent
to school authorities in the districts
whither the children are bound, so
that the little prospective citizen*
may be promptly searched out and
brought into tbe schools. To attract
tbe adult a poster 20x30 inches in size
is printed in red, white and blue with
the boldly printed title "America
First.1' Tbese posters are being displayed in 25,000 cf the principal post
offices, as well as in schools and industrial establishments throughout
tbe country.
Tbe Bureau of Education aiso
gives advice and assistance to local
educational departments as to tbe
manner of conducting schools for
immigrants. In a nnmber of cities
there la close and belpful cooperation
between the courts of naturalization
and tbe evening schools in this work
Tbe courses usually inclnda lessons
in oivics, talks by public officials,
lawyers, jndges, trips to tbe city ball,
the court honse and otber public
buildings.
Wben such courses are conducted,
there is asnaily a public reception at
the close, on which occasion tbe new

states is practically gone wtnie in
western Washington only seven per
cent bas been cleared. It must be
a great sight to see the loggers "falling" a 200 foot tree and a 70 foot log
plunge through the underbrush like a
mad boar. The principal varieties of
trees are fir, cedar, hemlock, spruce
and yellow pine. Lumber and
shingles constitute nearlv one half of
the state's manufacture and will probably continue sueb for many years
to come. During the past ten years
Washington has led all tbe other
states in these products witb a yearly
output of 4,000,000,000 feet of lumber
and two-thirds of all tbe shingles
made in tbe United States.
The catching and preparing fish
for food is an important source of
wealth to tbe state of Washington.
The lakes abound in fish of many
kinds bnt these are not a source of
commercial revenue. Practically tbe
entire commercial ontpnt is of salt

more than all tbe rest put together.

There is a strong possibility, according to one wbo is actively working on the matter, that tbe people of
Loomis will again have a post office
of their own.
A petition signed by a lar^e number
of people of that vicinity was presented to Cong. Loud of this district
some little time ago, who in turn
took it np with tbe department at
Washington. Advice has been
received to tbe effect tbat if tbe
service is proved to be inaquate, tbe
former arrangement will be restored.
Figures are now being prepared to
show wbat number are inconvenienced by tbe present plan, to wbat
extent, etc.
Inasmuch as residents of tbe
village and some others now get
tbeir mail one day late at best there
seems to be some cause for complaint.

Mr. and Mrs. Feighner came to

wolves howling around everywhere.
About 34 years ago they moved to
Clare wbere her husband died. Since
that time,, she has lived with her
children. LaQrippe and old age were
the cause of ber death.
Her mind bas been failing for some
time but it was alwayaclear in prayer
around the family altar. We think
she is at rest with God.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. S. W. Large at tbe Free Methodist cburcb in Clare and sbe was
laid to rest in Cherry Grove cemetery

Archie R. Ouderkirk was born July

age of 14 years, 6 months, 9 daye.
He was one of a family of 10 cbiidren
of wbom all are living bnt one brother. Four brothers and tour sisters
witb tbe father and motber mourn

coming a great shock to bis many
friends and relatives, he being sick

What was intended to be a snprise
to their friends here, the only
miscalculation being the publishing
of the marriage license last Thursday, was the marriage tbe following
day of Miss Faye Thompson to Mr.
William J. Stephenson.
When ber scbool was over last
Friday, tbe young couple drove to
Alma where they were married at the
M. E. parsonage by the Rev. Brown-
low, bis sister acting witb her husband as witnesses. Tbe following
day was spent with hie family at St.
Louis, and the return trip made on
Snnday.
Mr. Stephenson will continue witb

been employed for the past year.
The bride will continue ber work at
tbe McKinley Scbool until the year is

SPLIT AT REED CITY
Friday Night Where Boys Charge
Rough Tactics.
Both basket ball teams were at
Reed City laet Friday evening, tbe
girls winning by tbe very satisfactory
score of 25 to 8, while the boys were
obliged to accept defeat in the ratio
of 46 to 18.
The hall there is very small, and
makes playing awkward for teams
accustomed to a roomy auditorium.
The boys were also considerably outweighed, and so much roughness
characterized their opponents' play
tbat one man was finally ruled out,
tbe game being halted while a protest
was argued. On threat of having
tbeir expense money beld up, the
game was continned with tbe same
line up. Bet the play was mnch
cleaner, as the number of points
made after that time bv the Clare
boye indicated. A return game will
be played here on Mar. 3rd. and it is
hoped that more gentlemanly conduct will mark the visitors play at
that time.
Tomorrow night a game is to be
staged here with the girls' team from
St. Louis. The boys make the trip to
that town.
(Later.—On account of sickness it
has been necessary to change the
two game just mentioned, and tbe
Mt. Pleasant high school teams will
come here for a double header tomorrow night.)

FARMERS' MUTUAL
Elects
Company
Officers.
The Farmers' Mutual Insurance
Co. held its meeting to elect officers
at Reed Oity yesterday. Evidently
the members felt tbat it was a wise
thing to let well enongh alone so all
tbe members whose terms expired
were re-elected without a contest.
Those elected were L. W. Sunday,
pres,; 8. A. Johnson, sec.; Wm.
Adams, treasurer. Jas. Wbite of Osceola Oo. and Frank Holoombof Lake
Oo were re-elected ss directors.
The Ladies Union met last Friday
at the Congregational church parlors
for its annual meeting. A sumptuous
dinner was served at noon to a few,
many of the members being sick. In
tbe afternoon the following officers
were elected: President, Mrs. C. H.
-Sutherland: vice pres., Mrs, W. H.
Elden; secretary, Mrs. Fred Smalley:
treasurer, Mrs. S. A- Gleason; asst.
sect., Mrs. F. C. Faik. Mrs. Rhoades

Mrs. Shumway of flower committee.
On account of sickness no report ot

He was taken prisoner at Miles Run j

h6 continued the same line of business till about 1895. He then came
to Loomis and opened a general
store which be conducted with great
success till about six years ago.
July 7, 1870, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Lizzie Butcher wbo all
tbe years bas been a very efficient
helpmeet. They have no children
and in recent years ber health bas
not been good. Something over a
year ago they purchased a residence
on 4th St. and moved to this city,
but tbe condition of tbe wife's health
had kept tbem from mingling much
with tbe people.
Mr. Tucker contracted a bard coid
which rapidly developed into pneumonia and death came on Tuesday
forenoon. The funeral, conducted
by Rev. Frank Bates, was held at tbe
heme on Thursday afternoon and the
casket deposited in the vault at Cherry Grove cemetery. In the spring it
will be taken to the oid home at
Sumner for buriai.
Mr. Tucker's soldier life and natural temperament made hLm intensely patriotic. He bad erected a flag
staff at his residence and "Old Glory" was seen tbere   very   frequently.
He leaves tbree brothers, J. S. of
Sumner, Melvin of Coleman and
Bird J. of Ithaca, beside many other
relatives and a host of warm friends.
