One of tbose pleasant meetings
which help the peooie of neighboring eommanities to become better acquainted with each otner and with
tbeir common needs, was beld at the
Gleaner Hall nt Lake last Eriday
evening.
Tbe subject wae good roads—one
that bas interested nearly every one
in tbat vicinity for years—and it
looks as though prompt action will
now be taken to nave the work done
that should bave been done long before, the connecting of the village of
Lake witb the fine stretch of country
lying to the south, in Isaoella Co.,
by a fine gravelled road.
The meeting was well attended in
spite of threatening weather, and

friends and relatives.
After a brief service on Friday
morning, conducted by Rev. Lyford,
the remains were shipped to Carey,

families, accompanying. Tbe funeral
services Saturday afternoon were

SPELLING CONTEST
cnivereities to show us bow to classify onr knowledge. He ea.ne to
congratulate tbe ciass rather tban tc
advise tbem. Advice is like medicine,
very easy to give but bard to take
and one eannot always tell just what
result it will produce.
Success in life is oftentimes hindered by tbe fear tbat we will not
succeed. Future dangers are not
likely to be any greater tban tbose
now at band. Life is full of joy and
we should not worry. We pass
tbrongb bnt once We cannot travel
it on a pass and we get no return
trip ticket. Success is not something to be attained in tbe future, it
is a matter for today. Tbe question
should not be Will I succeed? but
Am I making a success? We should
ever remember that success does not
depend on tbe place we occupy, bnt
on bow we fill the place. Few ever
admit their limitations. We never
solve our own problem till we bave
solved pretty nearly every otber
problem.
Statistics show that so •; of tbose
engaged in mercantile pursuits fail,
tbe failure being due to lack of adap-
tibility or to inattention. Many people cannot comprehend tbat tbe
world is moving. Let no one bug tbe
delusion tbat he can succeed without
progress. The world haa three classes of people, the Wills, the Won'ts
and tbe Can'ts. The first accomplish everything, the second nothing
and tbe third never try. Napoleon
knew no Alps when tbey stood in his
way. Galilleo could use a straw to
develop the telescope and Bunyan
produced bis "Pilgrim's Progress"
wbile confined in a filthy jail.
Tbe schools are teaching tbe dignity of manual labor. We sometimes
forget tbat poverty ia no handicap
wbile riches arc quite likely to be.
Lincoln's success was due in no
■mall measure to tbe fact tbat he
knew poverty and could sympathize
witb tbe poor. It is ali right to wish
for success bat we should do it with
oar coat off and sleeves rolled up.
Some think tbat tbey most accomplish something wonderful in order
to succeel. Let as never forget tbe
value of little things.
We should not be ashamed of oar
The spelling contest this year re-
suits in giving first prize to Lydia
Reynolds of the West Grant school,

figures to show the cost of sucb road
per mile, tie total amount of road
now built, and what the various
counties have contributed toward
this work. He emphasized tbe fact
that those districts in which no mileage is constructed have to pay a :
share of the cost of improving tbe ;
roads in otn^r parts of the state.
On account of rain, Mr. Neilson
had been unable to see the road running south from Lake and could not
therefore give an estimate as to tbe
coBt of grading and gravelling the
three or four miles under consideration. Fred Williams and B. B. Stevens, both prominent tinners, also
spoke, the latter calling attention to
tne fact tbat many residents of Cold-
wate Twp. were ready to contribute
liberally. One property owner of
that vicinity, who holds a responsible position at Pontiac, has offered
$1,000 toward the work.
A committee consisting of F. H.
Stanley. H. Sanborn and Bert Scoet
for Garfield and B. B. Stevens A. R.
Letson and Edrnond Scbultz of Cold-
water Twp. was appointed to look
after the matter further. It is hoped
tbat all will now puil together and
make the proposed improvement a
certainty.
One of the pleasant features of tbe

BLOW COMBINATION
The wind plays queer pranks st
times and this is what it did on Friday of last week wb«n in two -local- '
ities it demonstrated how quickly ■
property may be destroyed oy its I
power.
W. E. Currie is erecting on his ;
farm in Vernon, southwest of this
city, a large barn to replace one
burned some two years ago. It is a
"plank frame" 5fixl06, the frame all
of yellow pine. The frame was up,
tbe siding and ratters on, wben the
cyclone struck it about 5 o'clock on
Friday. It leveled the entire fram6,
breaking up some of the lumber of
course. It also blew do.vn a shed
used for tbe storing of machinery
and lifted a large silo partly off its
foundation. It was moving from
south to north and tbe sphere of its
operations only a short distance.
At about the same hour another
cyclone struck the barn of Wm. Gorr
just across tbe line in
literally demolished it,
fragments being carried a long distance. A large proportion of bis orchard was also uprooted.
A number of fruit and shade trees
on the farm of Fabian Hinkle was
blown down. We have beard of no
further damage done. Of course Mr.
Currie will go rlgbt on with the
work of building bis barn. Whether
he or Mr. Gorr had cvclone insurance we are not informed.

The attempt to buglarize the safe
of the Farmers' Independent Produce
Co. Wednesday night, following the
robbery at Sanford tbe night before
when the postoffice was broken into
and about $500 in money and stamps
taken, makes it look as though a
gang was doing some nigbt work in
this vicinity.

clue to the identity of the criminals,

She can truly say One of tbose pleasant meetings which help the peooie of neighboring eommanities to become better acquainted with each otner and with tbeir common needs, was beld at the Gleaner Hall nt Lake last Eriday evening. Tbe subject wae good roads—one that bas interested nearly every one in tbat vicinity for years—and it looks as though prompt action will now be taken to nave the work done that should bave been done long before, the connecting of the village of Lake witb the fine stretch of country lying to the south, in Isaoella Co., by a fine gravelled road. The meeting was well attended in spite of threatening weather, and Merlan and Metbvan, of Clare Co.

About 0 o'clock she suddenly fell with apoplexy dy- about twelve o'clock. The news of her deatb came as a great shock to friends and relatives. After a brief service on Friday morning, conducted by Rev. Lyford, the remains were shipped to Carey, O., the husband and sons, with their families, accompanying. Tbe funeral services Saturday afternoon were conduced at St. Paul's church by Rev. W. A. Bailey, of Findiay, O., who had previously conducted services for ber mother and one brother.

Advice is like medicine, very easy to give but bard to take and one eannot always tell just what result it will produce. Success in life is oftentimes hindered by tbe fear tbat we will not succeed. Future dangers are not likely to be any greater tban tbose now at band. Life is full of joy and we should not worry. We pass tbrongb bnt once We cannot travel it on a pass and we get no return trip ticket. Success is not something to be attained in tbe future, it is a matter for today. Tbe question should not be Will I succeed? but Am I making a success? We should ever remember that success does not depend on tbe place we occupy, bnt on bow we fill the place. Few ever admit their limitations. We never solve our own problem till we bave solved pretty nearly every otber problem. Statistics show that so •; of tbose engaged in mercantile pursuits fail, tbe failure being due to lack of adap- tibility or to inattention. Many people cannot comprehend tbat tbe world is moving. Let no one bug tbe delusion tbat he can succeed without progress. The world haa three classes of people, the Wills, the Won'ts and tbe Can'ts. The first accomplish everything, the second nothing and tbe third never try. Napoleon knew no Alps when tbey stood in his way. Galilleo could use a straw to develop the telescope and Bunyan produced bis "Pilgrim's Progress" wbile confined in a filthy jail. Tbe schools are teaching tbe dignity of manual labor. We sometimes forget tbat poverty ia no handicap wbile riches arc quite likely to be. Lincoln's success was due in no ■mall measure to tbe fact tbat he knew poverty and could sympathize witb tbe poor. It is ali right to wish for success bat we should do it with oar coat off and sleeves rolled up. Some think tbat tbey most accomplish something wonderful in order to succeel. Let as never forget tbe value of little things. We should not be ashamed of oar The spelling contest this year re- suits in giving first prize to Lydia Reynolds of the West Grant school, Miss Ena Hatch teacher. This leaves her still the champion speller as sbe won first prize iast year. The second prize goes to Flossie Keysor of the Silver scbooi, Hamilton township, Miss Cora Looker teacber, while the third is won by Ruby Court of tbe Herrick, Mrs. Minerva Richmond teacher. Tbe test was the spelling of 200 words from Hunt's Progressive speller, a text book used in the rural schools. Heard On The Phone. "Hello. Is this the Senlinel office?" "Yes." "Dont run that liner any more." "What liner is that, madam?" "Tbat liner we had in last week about wanting men to work" "Did you find a man? "Yes, we found a lot of them. Got more than we need now.

He emphasized tbe fact that those districts in which no mileage is constructed have to pay a : share of the cost of improving tbe ; roads in otn^r parts of the state. On account of rain, Mr. Neilson had been unable to see the road running south from Lake and could not therefore give an estimate as to tbe coBt of grading and gravelling the three or four miles under consideration. Fred Williams and B. B. Stevens, both prominent tinners, also spoke, the latter calling attention to tne fact tbat many residents of Cold- wate Twp. were ready to contribute liberally. One property owner of that vicinity, who holds a responsible position at Pontiac, has offered $1,000 toward the work. A committee consisting of F. H. Stanley. H. Sanborn and Bert Scoet for Garfield and B. B. Stevens A. R. Letson and Edrnond Scbultz of Cold- water Twp. was appointed to look after the matter further. It is hoped tbat all will now puil together and make the proposed improvement a certainty.

At noon a reception was tendered them at the home of the bride's parents near the Grant Town Hall. This was attended by a large number and many useful and valuable gifts left as reminder* of the occasion. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Wentworth of Grant. She graduated from tbe Clare High School in 1913 and has taught most of the time since.

THIEVES m TOWN Break Into Farmers Produce Building. BLOW COMBINATION The wind plays queer pranks st times and this is what it did on Friday of last week wb«n in two -local- ' ities it demonstrated how quickly ■ property may be destroyed oy its I power. W. E. Currie is erecting on his ; farm in Vernon, southwest of this city, a large barn to replace one burned some two years ago. It is a "plank frame" 5fixl06, the frame all of yellow pine. The frame was up, tbe siding and ratters on, wben the cyclone struck it about 5 o'clock on Friday. It leveled the entire fram6, breaking up some of the lumber of course. It also blew do.vn a shed used for tbe storing of machinery and lifted a large silo partly off its foundation. It was moving from south to north and tbe sphere of its operations only a short distance. At about the same hour another cyclone struck the barn of Wm. Gorr just across tbe line in literally demolished it, fragments being carried a long distance. A large proportion of bis orchard was also uprooted. A number of fruit and shade trees on the farm of Fabian Hinkle was blown down. We have beard of no further damage done. Of course Mr. Currie will go rlgbt on with the work of building bis barn. Whether he or Mr. Gorr had cvclone insurance we are not informed. Gilmore and j wishes of their many friends in whicb some of the I the Sentinel cordially joins. WINS THE HONOR. Car! Williams of Garfield Goes To State Fair. Off Safe But Fail To Open Nothing Taken. h The attempt to buglarize the safe of the Farmers' Independent Produce Co. Wednesday night, following the robbery at Sanford tbe night before when the postoffice was broken into and about $500 in money and stamps taken, makes it look as though a gang was doing some nigbt work in this vicinity. As we go to press, tbere is little clue to the identity of the criminals, Dut it is probable two or more were interested in this attempt. Several tools were stolen from a section house, to whicb tbey seem to bave session by the Gleaner ladies, eral songs were also rendered.

A small charge of some explosive seems to have been piaced in tbe lock and touched off. Tbe combination was blown off, bnt door beld. No doubt lack of time prevented farther work. Deputy-sheriff Ward was at work on the case early, and the blood bound of W. J. Dwyer trailed tbe scent to tbe P. M. repair shop, wbere a velocipede was evidently stolen, escape being made iu this way. As little or no money is ever kept by tbe produce people at tbeir building, it looks tbe work of novice in trying to effect a robbery tbere. ancestors nor yet too proud.

Allen pronounced tbe benediction and another school year became a thine of the paat. - At the regular meeting of the common council Monday evening, Wm. Lange, fire chief, asked for a raise in the wages of the firemen, and the request was granted, making their pay tl.00 for the first hour. 50c for the second hour and 25c for each hour thereafter Authority was given to the board of cemetery trustees and tbe city attorney to take steps to have Cherry Grove Cemetery repiatted according to the plan recently outiined in the Sentinel.

Card Of Thanks. ROAD BEE NEXT WEEK Tuesday and Wednesday Set For Work At East End. The time has been set for starting the job of grading and gravelling the road east from Fourth street to the city limits, and it is expected that the farms in Grant and Vernon Twps. east of town will be almost deserted for a day or two while tbeir owners join witb the city in improving this bad stretch ot ro.id. Street Commissioner Cbrk, who understands this wortc thoroughly, will toe manager, and a line stretch of street may be looked for when tbe work is finished. It may be necessary to put in a day or two more the following week in order to get over tbe whole distance. Daniel Sunday and family desire to express tbeir heartfelt thanks for tbe many acts of kindness and helpfulness of friends and neighbors during the siekness and death of Susanna Sanday, their beloved wife and mother.
