THREE MEETINGS
Held  In   Countv,   At   Harrison,
Clare And Farwell.
A* a meeting last week of a few
interested men and women from thia
city and Farwell, the work *-f the
young Men's Cnristian Ass'n was
presented by a state worker from
Grand Rapids, and it was also ar
ranged at that time t • hold meetings
at three points iu the county on Sunday, Jaly 15th, when a representative
will be bere and tell about the w-nrk
of the Y. M. C. A in the present war,
and ask fcr financial aid.
-of The various churches nnd other
organizations are asked to help make
these meetings a success. That at
Harrison wili be held in theforenoon,
doubtless at the regular hour tor
church services
An afternoon meeting wi'.l be held
at Clare, at an hour to be announced
later. In tbe evening tbesatne speaker will talk at Farwell, and doubtless
tbe churches there will make it a
anion meeting in place of tbe'r regular services. Leiiih Wilson. Seyn.our
Andrus, and Frank Fisher were
aeked to head committees at be
three places
Few are familiar with the facts a?
to what the V. M <'. A. is .loin..' for
the soldier boys In war time, even on
tbe firing line ar.d in pri** n eimps.
tbe story being **ue that should especially interest those whose sons
and brothers may shortly be called tu
the service of tbeir country, whether
at home or abroad.
The Choice.
It is better to die fighting for a cause
you know is right
*-g(Than live in ease and riches never
venturing to fight.
Tt is better to be willing to leave home
and friends behind
For a goal that's worth attaining.
than to evil be resigned
Comes a time to everv mortal when
his eoul will have to ch.iose,
Will lie tight to keep bis hni-.ur * r   lie
down and honor lose?
There are just two ways to travel, one
is rough and hard and Ion.*.
And the other bright and   pleasant.
but tbe end of it is  wrong:
Ooe may give you lasting   glory,   y  u
you may sutler, you may die,
Bnt a better world   for   others is  the
joy your blood may buy.
On the road of meek   subnission   you
may iaugh awhiie and sing,
Bnt the ending  of your   journey   wiil
no touch of honor bring.
All that's worth while has been   purchased at a stern and bitterprice,
For the road that leads to glory is the
the road of sacrifice.
Had   men   never   fought     for   honor,
never gone into their graves
Fighting splendidly   for   freedom,  we
Should still be cbaine-J as slaves.
Had   the     heroes   whom   we     honor
chosen ease and comfort when
Wrong   seemed   mighty    and    triumphant,   life    would    hoi duo o  y
for  men.
•ff- ow we'er standing atthe crossroads
it is ours to choose  to-day,
f*ba!i we   stand and   tight   for   honor
or go down the easy way'.-

Eternal Principles
If I could hope without
presumntion that <>nv Humble counsels of mine on this
hallowed anniversary could
be remembered beyond the
hour of their utterance and
reach the ears of my countrymen in future days I
could not omit certainly to
reiterate the solemn obligations which rest on every
citizen of this republic to
cherish and enforce the
great principles of our colonial and Revolutionary
fathers — the principles of
liberty and law, one and
inseparable—the principles
of the constitution and the
Union. — Robert C. Win-
throp.
On   Account   Of  Serious   Delay
In Getting Organized.
Clare Connty bus been slow in
i "doing her bit"   for  the   Red   Cross.
owing ehiefiv to tbe loss of supplies,
; from stat**- headquarters some two
.weeks ago. However, orgaiiizath ns
1 have now lieen formed in most of the
'. townships   and   workers   are   making
a personal canvacs. Some predict
] that when this is over, aim st the tn-
I tire $",000 may be raised.
Clare, Harrison and Farweil have
i of course been carrying tb.* work on
I most rapidly owing to the easy access
to people.     Rut    some   of   tne   towns
| are   doing   valiantly,     Lincoln    Twp.

F. A. Fowler ot Chicago accompanied by a relative, Mrs. Phillips
and chiid arrived from Chicago Tuesday coming to Ludington by boat
and overland the balance of the way.
Mr. Fowler is expected to remain for
a we.'k or two.
Word conies from Detroit of tbe
j death, after a prolonged sickness, of
Rodney Rarnaby, the ten \ear old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Barnaby.
Mrs. Barnaby w.'.s formerly Miss
Bessie DeVogt, a former rt-.ident and
well  known here.
A. E. Mulder and daughter Louise
witb Mrs. Crace Rose, the former's
cousin, started Sunday on a motor
trip to New York for a visit. Miss
Olive Stone accompanied them as far
sa Detroit wbere sbe will visit during
part of a two weeks' vacation.
The wedding march was played by
Mrs. Cross-nan Pratt Miss Alward
was heautitullv gowned in white (Jeor-
gette crepe, her veil being held in
place with a Russian head-dress of
sii.er and pearls She carried a
shower bouquet of bride's roses and
swansonia. Miss Mary McLennan,
tii" maid of honor, wore pink organdie and carried pink r *ses and sweet
peas. Following the ceremony a
buffet luncbton was served. Mr. and
Mrs. Pinnock left this afternoon t r
Detroit where they will be at home
after August 1st af -.>•'' Philadelphia
Avenue east. Miss Alward is a graduate of Olivet college and the Cniver-
aity of Michigan and has been teaching in Detroit for the past two years.
i Many out-of-town guests were pres- I Thi
lent,   including   Mr.   and    Mrs.   A    J
r distilled liquors during tbe
war.    No one we think had any   idea
that the House would pass such a measure by such an   overwhelming    vote
But now the measure has met   with
i strong opp   si'.bin in th" Senate.    Tbit
I is not all based upon  tbe   prohibition
j issue, siime opposing the  measure * n
general principles.    Anxious   for   the
i early passage of   the   measure,   Pres
Wilson requested that the prohibition
feature be extended only   to   distilled
! liquors and notinciude beer and wine.
As this is written,   the   outcome   is
still in doubt.    "".The li iu <r   forces   of
| the country are fighting   desperately
| to save as  much   of   the   business   as
| possible.    Tbey easily read the hand-
: writing on the   wall   and   know   it   is
| oniy a question of a short  time when
their    business    must     cease.        The
j country   will   await   the    issue    with
j deep interest.
