"with two-day schools is proposed by j
the state board oi agriculture, whicb
recect'y inaugurated its reform program by discontinuing, the office of
s.pe*i_t en dent of farmers institutes
a. tbe Michigan Agricultural colleg..
Tbougb such aetep has long been in
theminda-.those directing the ex
.ension efforts of M. A. O.; the action
waa hastened by recommendations
from tbe United States department
of agriculture in Washington urging
the more efficient organization of
work among the farmers.
"In the tntxire," an official statement announcing the change declares, "all extension work in tbe
various eonotlee ot the state will be
under the control of the county
agent, and wbere institutes are conducted in those counties having
a.ente, they will be arranged for
under tbe direction of tbe agent.
'•Where possible, two-days schools
will be provided to take the place of
tbe institutes. However, neither
sufficient funds nor men are available
ior scheduling these schools In all
communities where they are needed.
Accordingly wbere the schools can
not be pnt in, the institutes wiil be
continued for two or three years."
The substitution of schools for the
institutes ie announced as an effort
towards complete modernization of
ail agencies tor carrying information
and instruction to the agricultural
communities of tbe state. With tbe
institutes, while origionally they
served the purpose for which thev
had been established, it was found
.bat in many parts of Michigan they
were falling behind tbe times, and in
some instances were suffering from
tbe misguidance of incompetent men.
The renovation ol tbe system will
eliminate individuals ot this type,
though sneb institute leaders and
speakers as bave proved tbeir worth
will ba retained and advanced.

is set for the next summons of boys
for training at Camp Custer. Clare
County eligibles will assemble at
Clare thie time instead of Harrison,
and twenty-one more will join the
ranks of the new army for the defense ol tbeir country.
In addition to the list ol names

the following Uave now been certified to the local board, and from tbe
entire list the required number will
be selected—a meeting for that purpose doubtless being held today.

It is _ real revelation «o see bow
the people of tbis country rally to the
call for financial aid, when ooce they
find out that the object is a worthy
one. And tbe peopie of Clare County
are no exception.
In three enthusiastic meetings held
last Sunday in the interest of the
Y. M. C. A. worx in tbe army, .500
and uver was subscribed without any
hesitation, and memhers of the
county committee were confident
tbat Clare County would esceed its
(ju'ota of .1000, when tbe campaign
end6 Nov. l?th. Reports of liberal
gifts for this cause are coming in
trom all about tbe state.
Pres. Catton of Ben_onia College
List and J. W. Poe were tbe principal
speakers, the latter a Y. M. C. A.
Secretarv from Camp Custer, who '
arrived too late for the morning
23 i meeting at Farwell. No one wbo
beard either could fail to be Impressed by the great importance of
this work among our soldier boys,
and the necessity tbat all should do
tbeir sbare.
Farwell people pledged nearly a
hundred dollars, with more to come
fr<*m personal soliciting, Harrieon
[gave, nearly $150, while Clare exceeded $.00.
At the Tuesday evening meetings
about tbe county, about $31.0 was
pledged, making a total up to Wednesday uf over $900. More work Is
being dune, both in tbe towns and
through the country, and It is likely
that Clare County will wind up the
week witb $1500 pledged—SO'*', more
tban asked.

Nov. _, 1917.
Dear Motber and Sister,
Its about time I was writing to you
again to let you know i am still on
tbe map and coming flne.
How is everything back in Michigan? The weather is somewhat
cooier bere now then it was wben we
first arrived, but the wind blew quite
hard and we bad what is termeo, "A
Texas enow storm" to-day. The
"snow" was merely sand but lt was
blowing through tbe air the same as
snow does on some of the winter days
back in Michigan.
Don't worry if you don't hear from
me for some time for we are going
out on the target range soon and it is
about eighteen miles from here and
I don't know what kind of postal service we will have, bnt I will write as
often as possible.
I am at the "Y" as usual. I don't
know wbat I woull do if it was not
for the army Y. M. C. A. We have
so many good speakers and a"movie"
or a band concert every night except
Friday and Sunday. Friday is letter
writiDg night and there are signs up
on that nigbt which read "Write
motber tonight" or "When did you
write to motber?" Tbey help a fellow to remember tbat there is someone who is thinking about her boy.
There is a campaign going on to
raise money to keep the "Y" going
and you teil the folks back home tbat
If tbey want to do something for the
boys in Uncle Sams Army, tbey can
subscribe some money for the "Y".
Every boy will enjoy it tben as well
as their own and it will help to fill
the vacancy left by bome comforts.
It certainly is a grand organization.
Tbere are several "Y" buildings fcr
its use here in camp and there Is a
piano and a couple of Victrolas in
eacb one.
Oh, mother, ff I never come back
you may rest assured tbat I didn't
turn coward or anything like that.
Every time I think ot the Kaiser,
my blood boils and I wish I was over
there. Speaking about blood boiling,
I've got a boil right on my cheek and
gee, but it burls.
We all got our discharges ont of
tbe National Guard yesterday and we
are now a unit of the regular army-
lam going to bave my picture taken
and send you one for Xmas for I
think that would please you as much
aa anything.
The boyB of our battery hung the
Kaiser Hallowe'en night. 1 helped
too, believe me. We bad a dummy
fixed up as the Kaiser and we all
got some blank cartridges for our
pistols and we tarred and feathered
tbe dummy [Kaiser] and then carried
''him" through camp on a rail, tben
we bong him on the ''sour apple tree"

A delightful meeting of the Clare
Study Club was beld Tuesday after
noon at the bome of Mrs. J. H. Roe.
After a balf bour spent in conversation and Red Cross knitting, the
President, Mrs. E. H. Waller,
took tbe chair and a short business
session was held.
Mrs. Anderson then favored tbe
Club by singing "Loves own sweet
song", which was much appreciated.
Miss Nelle Jackson hy request sang
in a very able manner and responded
to an encore. Mrs. E. A. White
tben gave an interesting sketch of
tbe composer, Steven C. Foster,
then sang tbe "Suannee Kiv_>r"
witb the Club ladies joining in the
chorus by request.
The paper of the day was tbe Spanish conquest of Peru and waB bandied very nicely ty short sketches
from nearly all tbe ladies present
and called out very iuteresting die
cussions. The subject was summed
up in an able manner by Mrs. Kirk-
bride
The Club adjourned tu meec in two
weeks with Mrs. S. C. Kirkbride.

Germany split upinto many divisions,

"Zollern" means tax and Hoben-Zoil-

The substitution of schools for the institutes ie announced as an effort towards complete modernization of ail agencies tor carrying information and instruction to the agricultural communities of tbe state.

It is _ real revelation «o see bow the people of tbis country rally to the call for financial aid, when ooce they find out that the object is a worthy one. And tbe peopie of Clare County are no exception. In three enthusiastic meetings held last Sunday in the interest of the Y. M. C. A. worx in tbe army, .500 and uver was subscribed without any hesitation, and memhers of the county committee were confident tbat Clare County would esceed its (ju'ota of .1000, when tbe campaign end6 Nov. l?th. Reports of liberal gifts for this cause are coming in trom all about tbe state. Pres. Catton of Ben_onia College List and J. W. Poe were tbe principal speakers, the latter a Y. M. C. A. Secretarv from Camp Custer, who ' arrived too late for the morning 23 i meeting at Farwell. No one wbo beard either could fail to be Impressed by the great importance of this work among our soldier boys, and the necessity tbat all should do tbeir sbare. Farwell people pledged nearly a hundred dollars, with more to come fr<*m personal soliciting, Harrieon [gave, nearly $150, while Clare exceeded $.00. At the Tuesday evening meetings about tbe county, about $31.0 was pledged, making a total up to Wednesday uf over $900. More work Is being dune, both in tbe towns and through the country, and It is likely that Clare County will wind up the week witb $1500 pledged—SO'*', more tban asked.

How is everything back in Michigan? The weather is somewhat cooier bere now then it was wben we first arrived, but the wind blew quite hard and we bad what is termeo, "A Texas enow storm" to-day. The "snow" was merely sand but lt was blowing through tbe air the same as snow does on some of the winter days back in Michigan. Don't worry if you don't hear from me for some time for we are going out on the target range soon and it is about eighteen miles from here and I don't know what kind of postal service we will have, bnt I will write as often as possible. I am at the "Y" as usual. I don't know wbat I woull do if it was not for the army Y. M. C. A. We have so many good speakers and a"movie" or a band concert every night except Friday and Sunday. Friday is letter writiDg night and there are signs up on that nigbt which read "Write motber tonight" or "When did you write to motber?" Tbey help a fellow to remember tbat there is someone who is thinking about her boy. There is a campaign going on to raise money to keep the "Y" going and you teil the folks back home tbat If tbey want to do something for the boys in Uncle Sams Army, tbey can subscribe some money for the "Y". Every boy will enjoy it tben as well as their own and it will help to fill the vacancy left by bome comforts. It certainly is a grand organization. Tbere are several "Y" buildings fcr its use here in camp and there Is a piano and a couple of Victrolas in eacb one. Oh, mother, ff I never come back you may rest assured tbat I didn't turn coward or anything like that. Every time I think ot the Kaiser, my blood boils and I wish I was over there. Speaking about blood boiling, I've got a boil right on my cheek and gee, but it burls. We all got our discharges ont of tbe National Guard yesterday and we are now a unit of the regular army- lam going to bave my picture taken and send you one for Xmas for I think that would please you as much aa anything. The boyB of our battery hung the Kaiser Hallowe'en night. 1 helped too, believe me. We bad a dummy fixed up as the Kaiser and we all got some blank cartridges for our pistols and we tarred and feathered tbe dummy [Kaiser] and then carried ''him" through camp on a rail, tben we bong him on the ''sour apple tree" wbile the band played body" and th_n eacb seven rounds tht "K-i-er.
