We have heretofore made no mention of tbe organization that is now
being extended over the county, [.referring to wait until u hnd it" work

with L. K. Davy >*s president, J. L.
Littlefli-ld of Farweil and A V. Light
of Harrison vice pres., C. A. Readinu
secretary, L C. Hulbert financial
secretary, Jobn Lansing treasurer,
and an executive committee of 1H
lociieii in various parts of tbe county, ihe names of the oftir-r-re above
given, wcli krown acd substantial
citizens, are a guarantee that, the organ izati. n means business. It is not
designed as a temporary organization

began to gather fur the  performance
The audiyi.ee was oot as large a
before, but metrbere.i fully three

church. Most of t .lose present seemed tohe from outside of town, ard th'-y
evidently received the ple.y with fully
as much enjoyment as did the home
folks. Nothing happened to mar the
work of the actors and actresses, tne
performance b, ini* given with tbe
same good effect ss cm the previous
evening. Some additional local hits
were w<*aved into the story by several
of the players

With Mrs. Waller.
ATTENDANCE
Small     But    Very     interesting
Meeting.
The Study Club met on Tuesday at
the home of Mrs. 0 H. Waller with
only about half the members present.
However a very interesting and profitable meeting was held.
On ?oll call tbe members gave
aome facta concerning the educational institutions of tbe Central States,
tbose of our own state of course receiving tbe largest share of attention.
Mra. Hornberger read a paper on "A
Trip on tbe Great Lakes" aod Mrs
Roe one on "Two Kival Cities-Cleveland and Detroit. Tbese papers will
appear later in tbe Sentinel.
Miss DuncansoD favored the Clnbby
reciting one of James Wbitcom Riley's poems and responded to an
enoorc. Tne session ended by all
singing America.
And it got old Jonathan ail het up,
An' he took bis foot from hia knee.
An' he got to tbinkin' and thinkin'
hard,
Worryin' how it would be,
An' wonderin' wbat in Sam Hill he'd
do
If some pesky enemy
With all them dreadnoughts and submarines
Came, a-rippin' across the sea.
An'be thought of, the army be wished
be bad,
An' be reckoned up bis uavy.
"1 gaess I've set here long enough,
I'll bave tc git busy," sez 'ee.
But the last   I   saw   be   was  a setlin'
tbere yit
An' strokin' bis long goatee.
It ain't no time to be settin' round,
I kin tell ye—no siree.
He better be   gittin'   u*p   oat   o'   that
cheer
An' git outdoors and see,
An' d„ his chorea an' fix things up
The way they oughter be.
He might be helpin'them  cousins   o'
hisn
To fight fer liberty,
An' be might git In a few licks bisself

Anyhow,  I   wish   he'd   qnit   jingiin'

regardingsmoking in garages. Smoking is a very dangerous practice in a
garage under any and all circumstances and must be strictly prohibited. A lighted cigar or cigaret or a
spark from a pipe in a garage where
many gallons of gasoline are stored
in machines may cause the loss of
human lives and thousands of dollars
of valuable property. The proprietor
of each and every garage in Michigan
should at once post "NO SMOKING"
signs in and about tbe building and
should eject customer or employee
violating the regulation.

TPON a 'wild and lonely coast
^    A lighthouse sent afar
To mariners its friendly beam,
And o'er it blazed a star.
Tiie lighthouse fell into the sea,
But still supremely bright
The steadfast star remained to guide
The sailors in the night.
•CO names of lesser glory burn
^   O'er Time's resistless tides,
Then topple and are swept away,
But Washington's abides.
It shines above a stormy world
Immutable as Fate,
The bright immortal star by which
We steer the ship of state.
