born of English parentage in Ontario
in 1840 and died in this city after a
lingering illness. Oct, 31, 1917. In 1870
at Boomer, Michigan she became tbe
wife of Melvin W. Tucker who was in
tbe mercantile business at that place.
Later they moved to Loomis wbere
Mr. Tucker engaged in similar business and in whicb be saved a moderate coa_pet_ncy.
About tbree years ago tbey came to
this city to enjoy the rest they bad
earned, purchasing a residence on E.
Forth St. Dntortinately death soon
after called Mr. Tucker and the wife,
whose bealth was none too good, has
been in a more or less precarious condition ever since. Death came to b_r
relief with the close of October and
the long struggle was over.
Tbe funeral was beld at tbe home

Tbe teachers and pupils of tbe
High School, also a few citizens,
have enjoyed a rare treat this week
in a series of three addresses given
at the High Scbool room on Tuesday
and Wednesday by Geo. R. Catton,
fur many years a teacher at Kalkaska
and of late President of Benzonia
Academy. He is not a stranger bere,
coming occasionally to preach at tbe
Congregational churcb.
Mr.||Catton is a most interesting
speaker and this series of lectures is
most timely just now. He is delivering them before schools over tbe
state and in order to make tbe eeries
very low, be delivers all within a
brief time, thus saving expenses. It
is to be regretted that tbese could
not have been held evenings so there
might bave beeo a large attendance.
Mr. Catton takes up bis subject
under tbree heads: 1. The Underlying Causes of the War. 2. Tbe
Characteristics and Policies of the
Kaiser. 3. The Probable Outcome
of the War. In fntnre issues we
shall endeaver to bring to our readers a glimpse of this matter as be

extracts from a letter written hy
Frank Mitchell to Mr. and Mrs. Bert
Teall.
Waco, Texss, Oct. 16, 19...
Dear Aunt and Cncle: —
I received your letter to day and I
was surprised to get it. lt interested
me very mnch and am glad to write
you all the news of aBoidier's life that
I can You don't know bow 1 enjoy
life now. I am sure glad tbat I joined
the army, I don't know bow I could
have bettered my position and Texas
sure is the place tor me. It is just
nice and warm and tbe nights are
icold. We 6le_p on cots. The foundation is about lb feet square with
floor and 5 foot side wall. It Is
sided up with boards about 3 feet
high and witb two feet open all the
way around. Tbe canvas is placed
on a frame above tbe 5 foot side wall,
so we have plentv of air and room.
We have electric lights. The straw
ticks are not quite like spring beds,
but we don't mind it.
We are drilling about IX to 8 hours
a day. We have shower baths and
we are furnished onr laundry soap.
We get all our clothes, grnb to eat
and $30 a month.
The street car line ta a.out one-
half mile from bere, so we can g_
down town pretty eaay. There are
aome of tbe prettiest towns In tbe
Cnited States in Texas. Tbere is
one 22 story building in Waco and
aome of the parks are the prettiest
1 ever saw.
From yonr loving nephew,
Fred Mitchell.
Because of tbe tact tbat Michigan
bas always occupied a place in .be
forefront ot tbe lumbering industry,
and bas always been known for its Intrepid lumber jacks and forest workers., Uncle Sam ia looking to tbia state
for a big quota of volunteers tor the
new forest regiment. Prof. A. K.
Oblttenden, bead of tbe department
of foreetry tor the Michigan Agricultural college has been informed. Professor Chittenden has been assigned
to the task ot finding recruits for tbe
organization from among Michigan's
army of trained foresters, and he accordingly ls asking wbo would be volunteer, to write to bim.
"Michigan still has a large number
of lumbermen, millwrights, sawmill
men, lumberjacks, motorcycle men,
and tree cutters," said Professor
Chittenden, "and th-.se are tbe men
Uncle Sam wants.
"The new forest regiment, for
wbich these volnnteere are desired,
will be known as the SOth engineers,
and it will work witb tbe U. S. army
in France, getting ont its necessary
timber supplies. The regiment will
be made np of 10 battalions of 3 companies of 250 men eacb. Tbie will
make tbe total number of men in tbe
regiment 7,500 Two battalions have
already been filled op. Men are now
needed for the remaining eight."

Two Markets Now.
P. La*-f__tr'ea_x, who bought tbe
Fourth St. meat market a short time
ago, has sold bia stock to Allen&Manee
snd closed up abop last Satnrday.
Whether tbis ahop will be reopened
in the near future is doubtful, No
doubt two are enougb for a town of
tbis site.
Miss Mary Lynch was born ln
Canada, coming to Vernon when a
small child with her parents. Sbe
was tbe only girl in a family of nine
boys and her untimely death is felt
very keenly by them.
Being always a very delicate girl,
Mary went to visit a brotber in
Superior, Wisconsin. The change
benefited ber health bo mucb that
she decided to remain there and
secured employment in a store wbere
she rendered faithful and efficient
service for over three years until her
marriage in August, 1910.
It waa while employed in tbe store
tbat she became acquainted witb her
husband, Alexander McDonald of
Montreal, Canada, a man of aterling
qualities, to whom we extend our
deepest sympathy.
Since her marriage she lived in
Orion, Wash., and Kellogg, Idaho.
Two boys James Alexander six years
old and Jobn Josepb twenty months
old are left without a motber's tender
care. Pneumonia waa the cause of
ber deatb, being ot short dnration.
He hnsband brought her body bere
for burial, making the long sad
journey alone, arriving Thursday
afternoon. A large number of
vehicles met the body in Clare and
escorted it to the bome of ber
parents, Mr. and Mra. Wm. Lynch,
where the casket was covered and
surrounded by a profusion of beautiful flowers, among tbem a huge cross
of white and pink roses, a beautiful
wreath of chrysanthemums and
several pretty sprays. Many spiritual
bouquets from relatives and friends
were in evidence.
The funeral occurred from St.
Henry's cbnrcb Saturday morning,
conducted by Rev. J. J. McAUiater,
wbo in a beautiful sermon paid a
fitting tribute to tbe dear departed
one. Tbe fnneral procession was a
very large one showing the esteem in
which she waa held by those among
wbom ahe grew from infaney to
womanhood.
Besides her husband and two
cbildren ice is survived by her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lynch,
seven brothers, John ot Rosebush,
Edward of Ht.blng, Minnesota,
William of Georgia, James of Mt.
Pleasant, Augustine of New York,
David at Camp Custer and Frank at
home. Two brothers, Bernard and
Charles, preceded her to the better
land. We extend our heartfelt
sympathy to tbe sorrowing parent*
and brothers. X
No. one wbo is interested in tbe welfare of tbe boya who bave Left tbeir
homes to take up tbe life of soldiers
need now to be told about the good
work that tbe Y. M. C. A. Is doing in
camp. Every letter written back
bome by tbe boys themselves tells
wbat the "Y" means to tbem. Without tbe "Y" buildings, camp life
would become almost unbearable.
Witb tbem, tbe monotony is forgotten in the entertainment and recreation they provide.
Bnt it takes money to provide these
things, and the Y. M. C. A. depends
entirely on popular subscription to
raise tbis. It was therefore necessary to make a new call for funds and

Miss Mary Lynch was born ln Canada, coming to Vernon when a small child with her parents. Sbe was tbe only girl in a family of nine boys and her untimely death is felt very keenly by them. Being always a very delicate girl, Mary went to visit a brotber in Superior, Wisconsin. The change benefited ber health bo mucb that she decided to remain there and secured employment in a store wbere she rendered faithful and efficient service for over three years until her marriage in August, 1910. It waa while employed in tbe store tbat she became acquainted witb her husband, Alexander McDonald of Montreal, Canada, a man of aterling qualities, to whom we extend our deepest sympathy. Since her marriage she lived in Orion, Wash., and Kellogg, Idaho. Two boys James Alexander six years old and Jobn Josepb twenty months old are left without a motber's tender care. Pneumonia waa the cause of ber deatb, being ot short dnration. He hnsband brought her body bere for burial, making the long sad journey alone, arriving Thursday afternoon. A large number of vehicles met the body in Clare and escorted it to the bome of ber parents, Mr. and Mra. Wm. Lynch, where the casket was covered and surrounded by a profusion of beautiful flowers, among tbem a huge cross of white and pink roses, a beautiful wreath of chrysanthemums and several pretty sprays. Many spiritual bouquets from relatives and friends were in evidence. The funeral occurred from St. Henry's cbnrcb Saturday morning, conducted by Rev. J. J. McAUiater, wbo in a beautiful sermon paid a fitting tribute to tbe dear departed one. Tbe fnneral procession was a very large one showing the esteem in which she waa held by those among wbom ahe grew from infaney to womanhood. Besides her husband and two cbildren ice is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lynch, seven brothers, John ot Rosebush, Edward of Ht.blng, Minnesota, William of Georgia, James of Mt. Pleasant, Augustine of New York, David at Camp Custer and Frank at home. Two brothers, Bernard and Charles, preceded her to the better land. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to tbe sorrowing parent* and brothers. X No. one wbo is interested in tbe welfare of tbe boya who bave Left tbeir homes to take up tbe life of soldiers need now to be told about the good work that tbe Y. M. C. A. Is doing in camp. Every letter written back bome by tbe boys themselves tells wbat the "Y" means to tbem. Without tbe "Y" buildings, camp life would become almost unbearable. Witb tbem, tbe monotony is forgotten in the entertainment and recreation they provide. Bnt it takes money to provide these things, and the Y. M. C. A. depends entirely on popular subscription to raise tbis. It was therefore necessary to make a new call for funds and Nov, 11-18 has been .fixed as tbe date for a campaign to raise $35,000,000 in this country. The flrst gun was fired in this county Tuesday wben a Mr. McConnell from Gsand Rapids, lately returned from camp at Waco, Texas, where he served as Y. M. C.
