Cleveland—they call her the 6th
city—Cleveland, the 6th city, appears
on tbe stationery of her business
bouse:-.; her tailors stitch it upon the
labels of the ready made suits tbey
send to all corners of the land; ber
bakers stamp it on the products of
their ovens; big shippers stencil it
over packing cases. To day when
you say "6th city" to an American,
be replies "Cleveland." Ask a
Cleveland man the why of Cleveland's rise and be will tell you 'Lake
traffic " Upon tbe Great Lakes there
thrives a commerce that might well
be the envy of any far-reaching ocean.
The freight portion of this traffic
alone reaches tremendous totals In
the navigation months of 1912, over
47 million tons of iron ore and an
even greater toDUage of coal moved
upon the lakes while tbe enormous
total ot 158 million bushels of grain
were received at the port of Buffalo:
and although there are tens of
thousands of sailors on the ocean who
have never heard of Cleveland, the
business of tbat port is comparable
to tbat of Liverpool, one of the greatest and busiest harbors ia the world.
Four ont of five of the great steel
steamships carrying the iron ore and
coal cargoes of the lakes are operating from Cleveland.
There are miles of docks where
tbese big boats load. Here you see a
big steel cradle whicb dumps coal at
ot the rate of 50 tons in two minutes
into the hold of a barge, three hours
to give her ber full load of -rSOO tons.
"That is really not very rapid work,"
tbey say, "last year they put n.000
tons of ore into the Carey in 39
minutes at Superior '' Cleveland
built these ships, in fact she is still
building a large part of tbem, and
builds the largest in 90 days.
Besides the shipping, Cleveland
has also a large automobile industry
and the largest motor truck factory
in the United States. One family
out of every teu owns an auto, but
for the benefit of the other nine, sbe
has a wonderful street car system
with 3 cent fares. In 1913 the city
received an up to date charter, controls her public utilities and many
other good things for the people.
The Civic Center idea originated
here and at a cost of over 20 millions,
she is building beautiful homes for
her city affairs.

The Ladies Union met on Friday
with Mra. Rhoades. At the last
meeting in each month it la customary to have a literary program, aud
on this occasion it was one in honor
of our illustrious First President.
There was a good attendance and a
very interesting time enjoyed.
Mrs. Eldep bad charge of the program which consisted of quotations
from or abont Washington on roll
call, a biographical sfcetcn by Mrs.
Gleason and readings by Mrs.
Beonett, Mrs. Cooley and Mrs.
Sutherland. Patriotic songs also
were not wanting.
At the close refreshments were

Members of the local K. of P. brotherhood not only bad a most enjoyable social time at their meeting last
ThorOdoy evening but received an inspiration from tbe talks tbat were
given wbicb will no doubt go far
toward potting new enthusiasm into
the future work of tbe order.
A Sne luncb was spread In the dining ball abont 9:30, wbere the company repaired after spending an bour
or more in visiting and with cards.
After eating. Wm. H. Caple as toast-
master called on several for responses. Tbe principal speech was mads
by Past Commander Vought of Alma,
who gave a very Interesting account
of the origin of tbe Pythian organization, aod also some examples of its
beneficent workings.
Some fine music was furnished hy
tbe Victrola and also by Prof.   E.   S.
Civilization of today has changed
the conditions and customs of our
fathers, aud ttie future house fuel concerns us all. Wood is yearly getting
less and coal expensive, unpleasant
to handle, and unclean. Modern
homes are demanding a better type of
conveniences, and those that are
labor savers and more sanitary, and
when you look arouud and think,
your mind will revert to gas as the
ideal fuel, lt is cheaper than wood,
and is clean, sanitary, no dust, nc
ashes, no smoke, and savestbehouse-
wifeone half the labor of the kitchen.
The hired girl in many instances in
the home where gas is used can be
dispensed witb.
The citizens of Clare now bave the
opportunity of becoming a more
modern city, without its costing tbe
municipality oneceut. Yoor location
is such, that it is possible for us to
extend our mains to your territory,
and give you all the kitchen fuel you
need for all time, and if permitted to
do so, you will at all times get this
fuel at the same price ae the citizens
of Mt. Pleasant, and when it is reduced in price there it will be reduced in your city, and there will be
no discrimination either in the price
of gas, gas ranges or gas  appliances.
We merely ask the voters of your
city to give us permission to dig in
your streets a small trench 2* feet
deep, along one side of each
street and when dug it will be rilled,
tamped, and left in the same condition as before. Your city ie now too
email for a separate plant, aod permitting us to come in is the only way
you can ever expect to get this modern necessity. It furnishes an industry for vour city wbich employs
labor, furnishes a store aud office,
and distributes quite an amount of
money in your community. It gives
to your people the prestige of having
what larger cities have, and makes
your property more valuable, more
salable, snd more rentabio. It attracts all classes and maintainers of
homes and will make your beautifnl
city a more desirable place to live Id,
and will be a God-send to the over
burdened housewife tor it is largely a
kitchen affair after all. Every business man will be more or less benflt-
ed by this modern enterprise. Yon
are all boosters, and will unonbtedly
vote Yes on April 3rd. If yon do and
give us tbe three fifths vote required,
we will bave gas In your city on cr
before Sept. 1st tbis year, unless
something unforeseen happens.

On Friday evening at tbe opening
of the series of meetings that have
tor some time been advertised, a reception for the evangelists waa held
at the Methodist churcu. After the
prelimiaary opening exercises, brief
welcoming addresses were made by
several. •
In behalf of the church and Sunday
school, C. A. Reading extended a welcome, feeling that such would be the
wish of each and every member.
Supt. Hornberger expressed his
pleasure that tbe public schools are
recognized as one of the principal
factors in the uplift of any community. In the past the church and
school were united, but now they are
separated and oftentimes lt ie felt
that their work is too much along
divergent lines. While many people
oppose the reading of the Bible iuthe
schools, he - believes the time wili
come when it will be one of tbe
schools text books. Carl Holbrook
spoke briefly for the Epworth League
and Mies Lulu  Stone  for   the   choir.
Mr Colegrove responded, thanking all for the welbome and he tben
preached a brief sermon from Acts
10:29, pressing tbe question, "I ask
thereforeforwbat Intent ye have sent
for me?" He declared tbat there
conld be a genuine revival here if
only the people desired It with sufficient earnestness.
Prof. Dibble sang two solos and
certainly he Is wortu hearing. He is
laboring to develop a large choir
which wili be uo small factor
in tbe meetings.
Services have been held afternoons
and evenings in accordance with the
prog-am ae published and the interest is steadily increasing.
For genuine "scrappy" basket ball
tbe average person should be fairly
well satisfied with tbe  sample   brand
| that was placed on exhibition at ekat-
Increasing i }nR headquarters last Friday evening.
"Not that there were any   casualties
i—but there was action enough so
that none of the players stood in danger of being taken ont and shot for
going to sleep at hie post. If Clare
harl won, we should have forgotten
that feature; but having lost, we are
constrained to mention that the play
of tbe visitors was rather rough, aud
intentionally so, it seemed. One
player was unusually conspicuous in
tbis regard. (We're a little rusty on
our phrenology, being so long out of
College, but basing our conclusions
on a visual examination of the cranial undulations, we would observe tn
a general way tbat sometimes it is
more expedient to grant the diploma
before senility becomes too pressing
a factor, even if the seat of Intelligence still remains unoccupied.)
The tirst half was satisfactory to
home fans, ending 10 to 8 in ourfavor
and the play being tolerably close.
But things soon looked different in
the second, when Manton seemed to
get ber bearings, 8 baskets being
thrown during that time. The final
tally was 24 to 15, wbich was as good
as we expected, come to think it over
afterwards.

As most of our reades are aware
probably, an act passed at the last
session of onr legislature required
county clerks to place on the calen
dar all old cases that nad not been
definitely disposed of and thus clean
up the records of these cases. This
of course involved an immense a-
mount of work on the part of
county clerks, tbe cases in some
counties running up into the thousands. In this connty the total
number of cases on the February-
calendar is 499.

PROLOGUE.
"I got my copy in the hospitals and camps of France
and England," says Adele
Bleneau (Mrs. Walter Horton
Schoellkopf of Buffalo), the
author of "The Nurse's
Story." In the relation of a
delightful romance there are
introduced thrilling incidents
of the great -war in Europe.
It is plain that the author has
been on the battlefield, right
close tc the firing line.
She started for Europe at
the outbreak of hostilities.
After telling of the rush of
soldiers from England and
France she grips the reader
with her intimacy of the conditions as they exist in the
great European conflagration.
Her descriptions of the field
hospitals, of the wounded soldiers of the different warring
countries as they are brought
in, of exciting motor rides
from one battlefield to another,
all go to hold the interest
throughout The author had
influential friends in the armies
abroad who helped her gather
the material for her story,
It is no exaggeration to state
that no novel of the war yet
written gives a better idea of
actual conditions at the front
than "The Nurse's Story."

how, for no apparent reason, certain

Twenty minutes later, for the place
was only a mile away, tho car came
dashing back, and the drl»*r handed
me  a hastily scrawled  note from father asking me to bring his operating
j case and come immediately.    Without
| losing a moment and hastily gathering
{ np the Instruments, I was oft.    As we
1 sped up the drive father came running
. down  the  broad  stone  steps  to meet
I me.    Taking both my hands In his. he
; said gravely:
"Adele. my patient, 'Dr. Curtis, Is a

j He has an attack of acute append!

Do you feel equal tovhelplng meT'
Perhaps I felt father's reputation
was at stake; perhaps there was no
time for an attack of nerves. In any
event I said to him In a tone which
must have carried conviction:
"Don't be afraid, father. I'll try not
to fail you."
As we entered Dr. Curtis' room u
moment later he called out, "Doctor,
lt has Just occurred to me that you
must have ru your house an o[*eratin;_'

"I have, of course," father inter
rnpted. divining his thoughts, "but. Dr
Curtis, you know as well as I how
dangerous It is to move- a patient un
der such circumstances."
"Oh, yes, I know all about that." he
broke in. with an attempt at a laugh.
"But I em the patient in this case, and
I prefer to take my chances In an antiseptic operating room, even though
I have to be shaken Op a bit to get
there."
Seeing no approving response in father's face. Dr. Curtis went on with
the rare smile which many people say
is balf his assets. "Unless you mind

The next day two nurses cams up
from New Orleans. Except for changing the dressings and a perfunctory
taking of temperature there was very
Uttle for them to do.
At Dr. Curtis' request I passed many
hours of the day in his room. He seemingly never tired of hearing my "Ca-
Jun" stories, as the peasant tales of
Louisiana are called, and laughed at
my little anecdotes of how Jean Bap-
tiate would say: "Yolsln, you 6ee my
sow, push him home slow for me, yes."
On other day3 we read French or
German. He found constant amusement in my south German accent, for
that was the kind mademoiselle had
taught me.
the burglar, tbe thief and the thug,
it fires the brain of tbe prostitute and
tbe panderei. It feedo and inflames
tbe passions of the weak-minded aDd
tbe degenerate.
I have tried an army of *"0,000 human derelicts, most of whom were
booze-soaked. Witb faces red aDd
bloated, with e>es dull and languid,
witb bodies weak and wasted, with
clothing foul and ragged, this vast
army is forever marching witb unsteady step to tbe graves of the
drunkard acd tbe pauper or to tbe
prison and workhouse.
I bave looked into the tear-stained
faces of a stii! larger army of fathers
and mothers, brothers and sisters,
wives and husbands, as they have
pleaded for the miserable wrecks tbat
booze has made. 1 have seen with
this army teu thousand pale-faced,
hollow-cheeked, ragged, hungry and
starving children, cursed by booze.
I bave observed tbat every bandit
crew tbat goes forth to murder starts
from a saloon; that every panderer
haa his rendezous io a grogshop; that
every den of thieves makes its victims drunk before it robs them; tbat
every bouse of prostitution has its
baf or is in partnership with booze;
that every gambling den either is in
a saloon or sustains a close relationship with one; that the pickpocket
"trust" is housed in a saloon; tbat
the "pay-off joint" for tbe crook and
the crooked policeman is in a saloon;
that the professional bondsmen and
character witnesses for thieves and
holdup men are saloon-keepers or
bartenders.
Rooze has caused 200,000 divorces
in the United States in the last twenty
years, and adds 25,000 more to this
number every year. It divides more
homes, fills more jails and empties
more churches than all other influences combined.
Judges, legislators, mayors, governors and even presidents sit dumb or
quail in tbe presence ot tbis monster,
which enters millions of homes and
leaves them desolate.
I bave witnessed daily its ravages
after it bad spent its*wild fury npon
the helpless bodies of women and
cbiidren, or after it had reaped for a
nigbt, in tbe public dance, its harvest
of virtue, now dead forever. I bave
observed tbat tbe last man to be employed and tbe first to be discharged
is a victim of booze.
Booze never built a park, a playground, a scbool or a cburcb, but is
tbe enemy of tbem all.
War may be hell, but where it slays
its thousands booze destroys its tens
of thousands.
the Agriculture college by men who
bave actually bad experience is bringing out some real facts.
"Much   of   the   disadvantages    ascribed     to     northern     Michigan     is
economic and in no   way  relates  entirely to   soil conditions.     The lumber interests predominated,   and   tbe
early farming was a side issue.      Tbo
light soils were planted to potatoes, a
crop  easily   grown   amid   new    land
conditions, and  of  superior   quality.
The season of l«14   produced   an   enormous crop and the price was so   as
to have made the crop a   loss   to   the
fartE*r.    Tne season of 19'6   tbe  potatoes all over the state were  blighted, and the northern Michigan farmer has but few to sell.      In   tbis   way
tbere bave bsen two seasons of  crop
losses in tbat section.    The history of
all new countries Is   tbat  some  crop
must be seized on as   a sort  of  first
aid  for  living  expenses.     In    some
senses tbe problems of this section is
like that of the southern states, largely dependent on cash   crops and  exorbitant interest rates!     Tbe   cheapness of land is offset by the   clearness
of capital  to  use  in   farming   enterprises,   which   discourages   initiative
in buying stock   and   hiring   help   to
clear and drain land   to  build  barns.
silos, etc.
"Tbe disparity of capital to
population is seen in the fact that
these northern counties receive more
money from ths primary school fund
than they pay in taxes, a fact that nobody begrudkes, but illustrates the
added ourdeti of these communities
in other matters of taxation. Not
only tbe people themselves feel this,
but it is mirrored in tbe complaintsof
the P. M. & A. A., railways, which
traverse these counties, in their passenger traffic based on a uniform rata
for tbe state.
