The April number of "Northeastern Michigan," published by the
Northeastern Michigan Development
Bureau, is devoted  to  Clare county.
In many explanatory articles it
sett forth tbe advantages and
possibiiitiee of "Tbe Bulls'-Eye County ot Lower Michigan," the name
need by Clare county boosters in advertising their county. Tbere is in
the magazine a story dealing with the
community as a whole which is profusely illustrated with views of farm
scenes, homes, elevators, live stock,
dairy buildings, market delivering,
couuty buildings and summer resort
scenes, pictures of fields of hay, oats,
corn, beans, wbeat, and rye. One
view shows a wagou train of twelve
wagons and teams which are hauling
wheat from one farm to market at
Clare, another shows a street scene
in the city of Clare on a trading day,
tbe curbs being lined for blocks with
conveyances belonging to farmers
wbo bave come to town to get supplies and sell tbeir produce
Within the boundaries of Clare
connty are several large farms owned
by men of Michigan aud Illinois.
Clare county was selected by these
men after mucb investigation and
they have supplied the development
bureau with letters stating why they
purcbased farming and grazing land
io that particular connty.
Under the caption "Ranch Owner
Explains Reason for Selecting Clare
County" ie the following excerpt from
a letter written to the bureau by C.
A. Kieman, associated with the Clay-
Robinson Company, live stock commission merchants at Chicago, explaining his reasons for selecting
northern Michigan and Clare county
for bis ranching operations:
"I purchased land in Clare county,
Michigan, flrst of all because 1 considered it very low priced for land
tbat would produce the grass that this
northern Michigan land will do. I
bave ran several thousand sheep on
my land every year for the last eignt
or nine years, and each year the
grass gets better, due considerably
on account of the sheep grazing on
tbe land.
'This land is not only good grazing
land, but when stumped and cleaned
up makes good farming iand, I have,
in all, abou: 1,-24C acres, about 200
acres of which I have stumped and
cleaned up, and at the present time I
have about 140 acres of clover ana alfalfa. The balance cf the land I ust-
entirely for grazing sheep.
' I consider it a tiond investment
for any man who wants to pureha-e.
land to get hold of some cf this low
priced land, u = iiig a part of it for
farming purposes and the balance for
grazing."
H. K. Collins. f Chicago, states
ender tbe caption ''.Selects Clare
County, Because :"
"Having been rair-ed on a farm. I
had an inclination to own o p!ace of
such size, so located ani of such
ititial cost as would enable me to >m-
prove and develop it, from time to
time, so it would make me a fair
location fur business, for a home and
a money earrir.t: preposition and at
the same time, during its development, would represent a profit iu the
advance of the property.''
Four pages are devoted to signed
letters from tbe township supervisors of Ciare county in which tbey set
forth the advantages of their respective communities.

Lansing, Mich., May 26.—Dennis
E. Alward, secretary of tbe Michigan
senate, is flrst, last aud all the time a
Republican.
If there is anything he is as proud
of as he is of his wife aud his farm in
Clare county, it is his Republicanism.
Anything that savors of the Democratic party palls on Denny's nerves.
Wedn«3Sday Mrs. M. B. Ferry, curator of the state historical museum,
appeared in Alwards's ofllce and requested the loan of a targe easel be
bad there. Sbe said she wanted to
use It in the senate chamber for part
of tbe decorations for tbe annual
meeting of tbe Michigan Pioneer and
Historical society. Of course, Denny
wonld lend it; anything to belp out
the Historical society.
Wednesday afternoon Denny's
curiosity got tbe better ot him. He
beard some of the music as it was
wafted from tbe senate chamber into
bis private offlce and be got to thinking about his easel. He wondered
wbat they needed,tbat for and sallied
forth to see.
In a moment he came back with
his face crimson. He found tbey bad
used bis easle as a resting place for a
campaign picture of Woodrow Wilson.

The decorations in connection with
the closing days of scboo! bave been
in perfect harmony witb nature. Tne
brilliaut green of the grass and trees
and tbe iruit trees all in bloom have
been reflected in tbe class colors-
green and white—among which the
dainty lined dresses oi the senior
girls appeared like (lowers.
The juniors deserve great credit
for their skill in decorating and entertaining. The banquet for the seniors was held last Friday evening at
the school bouse wbich was beautifully decorated. Tbe tables were in
the form of a hollow square, sophomore girls and boys serving the four
course menu from the inside the
square. Covers were laid for 50,
gueets being seniors, parents of tbe
seniors, teachers and members of the
school board and their wives who
inarched to tbeir places, Mrs. Lamb
presiding at tbe piano, Mr. Littlefield
being tbe man on the job to give the
invocation. After the appetizing
meDu was served came the important
part of tbe program.
First number was music by Mrs.
Lamb, tben Rozell Brooks ir. well
chosen words introduced toastmaster
Dietrich Masten who tilled th- otrice
like a veteran. His stock of witty-
stories an4l his "poise'' were quite
remarkable. He. fittingly introduced
the "toasters" wbo, one and all, responded without break or hesitation.
Walter Clock with "Class of 1916",
Bernice Fordyce "Why?", Miss
Thompson responded to -'Must Anything", Supt. Cbappeii fo "Preparedness"', Prin. Miss Phelps to "What's
tbe Cae'?", Mr. Eidt tc "What are
you good for'", Junior Edith Sey-

The Baccalaureate service was held
in the Cong'l church which was very
tastefully decorated for tbe occasion
by the juniors. Rev. Holden conducted the service, assisted by Rev.
Dawe, tbe essential thought of the
sermon being 'Growth in Grace and
Knowledge." Music was furnished
by a union of tbe members of the two
choirs and the church being filled to

BEAUTIFUL DAY
And Large   Number  of   People
In Attendance.
"Breathes tbere a man with   aoul   so

Who never to himself bath said,
Tbis is my own, my native iand,
While   wandering   from   a  foreign
strand?
If sueb tbere be, go mark him well.
For him oo minstrel raptures swell;
High though bis title, proud his name.
Boundless bis wealth   as wish  can

Despite bis riches, power and pelf,
Tbe wretch, concentered ail in self,
Despised shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To  tbe vile  dust  from   whence   he
sprung,
Unwept, nnbonored and unsung."
So siaid the orator of tbe day acd
the spirit of tbese troublous days
would seem to respond amen.
Tuesday was a most beautiful day
and tbe attendance upon tbe exercises perhaps the largest ever seen
here. The program aa arranged went
off without a hitch. The Boy 8couts
and the Camp Fire girlB followed the
Veterans and behind them came the
pupilB of the school, accompanied by
the teachers, the band leading all
Arriving at the cemetery, the program was at once begun.
After music by the band ami a song
by the- pupils, led by Miss Giimore,
Rev. Large offered - prayer and then
the Veterans proceeiied with their
Ritualietic work beside their monument upon whicb they had placed
their annual wreath. Another song
by the pupils and then Pres. Tatman
briefly introduced the speaker, Hon.
Geo. L. Lusk, who gave one of the
best addresses ever given here on
such an occasion. Mr. Lusk has a
good voice and speaks in an earnest,
emphatic manner. No one we think
could take any exception to anything
be said and the entire address
breathed of patriotism. He expressed
his pleasure at seeing the pupils present drinking in the spirit oi the occasion and thus fitting themselves to carry on the
work when the Veterans have passed
off tbe stage. This could be but a
little way in the future. In the past
year 500 bad answered tbe summons
in tbis state. Days like this should
be truly memorial days when we
should strive to come to a more definite appreciation of our country and
the. sacrifices made by many in the
pa$t that we may now enjoy the
privileges we do.
Sherman said that "war is hell"
acf! no man can picture the misery
and sutl'ering it entails. All uur-.vara
have been endertaken to right some
wrong. Tue Civil war was a righteous one, y et it cost much in blood
and treasure. Our own state did its
full share in this contest. Statistics
gathered in ls6> showed that there
were ic,0u0 ifoen liable tp military-
duty in the state, and 90.000 enlisted,
lt">,0u0 of whom never returned. One
never visits any of the national cemeteries without being struck by the
large number of bead.-tones marked
"unKnown".
It tbia country is to endure, we
must emulate the spirit of Lincoln as
embodied in that immortal Gettysburg address. That we highly resolve tuat a g jvernment of the peopie
by the people and tor Hie people shall
not ptrisb from fbe earth.
Mr. Lusk closed by quoting the
closing part or Longfellow's "Building of the Ship."
Thou, toe, sail on, O Ship of State!
Sail on, O Cnion, strong and great:
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on tby fate!
We know wbat Master laid thy   keel,
What Workmen wrought thy ribs   of
steel,
Wbo made each mast, and   sail,   and
rope.
What   anvils   rang,   wbat   hammers
beat,
ln what a forge and what a heat
Were shaped the anchors of tby hope!
Fear   not  each   sudden   sound    and
shock,
'Tis of the wave and net the rock;
'Tis but the flapping of the sail.
And not a rent made by tbo gala!
In spite of rocK and   tempest's  roar,
ln apite of false lights on tbe  shore,
Sail on, nor tear to breast the sea:
Our hearts, our  hopes,  are  all witb
thee,
Onr hearts, our hopes, our prayers,
oor tears,
Our faith triumphant o'er our  fears,
Are all with thee,—are all witn  thee.

appropriate.

choir led tbe singing and gave one
fine anthem-.— Rev. Bennett offered
prayer and Rev. Allen read the

Rev. Large took as his text for the
Memorial address II Timothy 4-7.
He expressed bia pleasure at tbe
opportunity to address the Veterans

Mr. McKinley was Dorn in Fulton
Co., Ohio, Oct. 3, 1831, and al! the
earlier part of his life was spent in
this state. From here he eniisted
and served a short term in the Civil
war. Here some 57 years ago he
was united in marriage to Miss Martha Coulter who preceded him in
death by several years.
Some 3") years ago he came to
Gratiot county whicb was his home
till about 11 years ago when he came
to Clare which has since been his
home. He has been in feeble health
for some time and death came on
May 24th. Relatives had tenderly-

which Paul wrote this letter to
Timothy. Like Paul, the soldiers of
tbe Civil war can say that they "have
fought a good tight." Tbey fought
to preserve tbe Cnion and to give
freedom a new meaning in this

put forth, this country would have
been rent in twain and slavery given
