NAME ON EGG.
Reaches Eye Of M»n In Far

johhThmley
A SUCCESS
Northern District Pair In Spite
Of Rain.
Has Novel Experience And Gets
Interesting Letter.
In the early part ot July the Micbigan Creamery Co. made a carload
shipment of eggs to a commission
bouse in England, mention being
made of tbe fact at tbat time in the
Sentinel.
J. D. Hanley, wbo wae tben working for tbis drm, pat his name and
address and the brief message,
"Please write,'1 on an egg in one of
the cases, in a spirit of curiosity as to
whether such a message would elicit
any response. What was his surprise
a few days ago on receiving the
following letter from a "Britisher,"
who had both seen and heeded the
injunction.
13 Garden St.
Tunbridge Wells,
Kent, England.
Mr. Hanley.
Dr Friend,
"Hands across tbe
sea," as we say. 1 bad tbe pleasure
of unpacking the box of eggs containing tbe egg witb your address on it
and the invitation to drop a line to
yon.
I have unpacked a good many eggs
1b my time bat this is the first egg I
have handled with a good old message
to get in touch with the packer.
We are passing through very critical times here in the old country.
We believe we shall gain tbe victory
but not without great sacrifices in
men and money. Of course I don't
know to which side your sympathy
goes, but I know in tbe States you
bave a kindly feeling, by what I read,
for the Allies as we call ourselves.
Being away over the water no doubt
yon bear more than one opinion as to
tbe rights or wrongs of tbe struggle.
Our nation was considered bound in
honor to her treaty in regard to Belgium to resist invasiou, and although
we are not prepared for a war on the
continent, our small army was sent
over to help stem the German legions
pouring into Belgium and France.
It is terrible to read of the awful
carnage, and we see tbe wounded
brought here to this town within 24
hours of receiving their wounds, and
can near the booming of the Dig guus
when it is quiet and the wind in the
right direction.
Again, at night we are iu darkness,
no lighting being allowed, all street
lamps out, and windows bave to
have ail blinds down so as to shut out
or rather shut in the light, because
of the Zeppelins which come over
and drop bombs on this country. We
'are getting onr supplies to tbe United
Kingdom fairly regularly considering
the submarines wbich lurk around
tbe coasts and try to sink our cargo
boats, whicb is bad enough, but
wben it comes to sinking a boat like
the Lasitania we call it murder and
not war.
We are glad to see America protesting against such pirates' work, and
hope the might ot America will aiter
tbe policy of the German submarines.
Qlad to hear American is prosperous.
I have several consins out Seattle
way-bora oat tbere. Don't know
whether shall ever see them. It
costs somewhat to do a trip oat.
Seems as bow tbere is more money
ont tbere than at bome. Will now
close these tew lines, hoping tbis will
nod yon enjoying good health as it
leaves me. I remain,
Yoors truly,
Andrew Hickmott.
Tbe fairs tbis fall have nearly all
boon bard bit by the rains. Those
that succeeded in getting out even
did well. Many were not able to do
even tbat.
A letter trom Pres. Powers ot the
Northern District Fair announces
tbat although the fair was not a
great success financially, in every
other respect it was emphatically
such, tbe exhibits throughout being
better than for any previous year.
.Already plan* are being laid for
next year's fair. The date will be
the same as this year, Sept. 13-16, and
everything will be on a larger scale
than ever.

Edward M. Ferguson.
Edward M. Ferguson, an aged resident ot Vernon City, died on Monday at too home ot Frank Emery
wbere he bad fonnd a congenial
home daring the past two years,
thongh ha was in no way related to
any of th* household. He came to
this oeaaty aome 12 or 14 years ago
aad purchased a small farm in Hatton twp. Five years ago he retorned
to Illinois with a son, coming back
hare two years ago.
Mr. Ferguson was married in early
life hot himself and wife had separated ia later years aad his home waa
broken op. . He is described as a man
of winning personality, always cheerful and optimistic, and liked by all
wbo met him.
Tbe funeral, conducted by Rev.

on Tnesday witb burial in Cherry
Grove He bad reached the advanced
ag« of 66.
KappHnger-Krell.
A very pretty wedding waa solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Carl Kapplinger in Grant Twp. Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 29, when
their daughter Emma P. was united
in marriage with Chris J. Krell, both
of Grant Twp., the ring ceremony
being performed by Rev. C. Waide-
lich of St. John's Lutheran cburch,
under a canopy of ferna, flowers and
wedding bells.
At three o'clock tbe bridal party
descended the stairs to tbe strains of
Marionette's wedding march played
by Miss Marie Bogan,
Tbe bride was beautifully gowned
in white crepe-de-chine and carried
a bouquet of white roses, lillies of
tbe valley and ferns. The groom was
arrired in blue serge. Miss Freda
Krell, sister of the groom, attended
the bride and was gowned in wisteria
crepe and carried a bouquet of pink
roses, carnations and ferns. Tbe
groom was attended by Chas. Kapplinger, brotber of tbe bride.
After tbe ceremony a sumptuous
wedding dinner was served to sixty
guests composed ot relatives and intimate friends. Tbe out of town
guests were Mrs. R. P. Hanford and
son Ear) of Detroit and Miss Elizabeth Lee and Chas. Kapplinger of
Saginaw.
Both young people are well known
and highly respected in thiscommun-
ity and as an expression of regard
many valuable presents were tendered them.
A miscellaneous shower was given
in tbeir honor at the bride's home on
Wednesday evening and many useful
and oeautiful gifts were received.
Tbe young couple wiil at once commence housekeeping on tbe groom's
farm iu Grant. The many friends extend cordial congratulations and
good wishes. X.
The Sentinel joins in congratulations and good wishes.
People are coming to understand
sotborongly the advantages of newspaper advertising for an auction sale
over tbe old plan of posting np bills
alone, tbat it seems unnecessary to
say anything in tbat line, it reaches
a class of buyers tbat tbe bills never
reach (tbe beet class, too) and the
expense is less than posting bills, if
a man's time is worth anything. We
bave advertised a number of sales
for wbich not a bill wan posted and
yet there was a large crowd.
Of course when we speak of newspaper advertising we assume that
tbe paper is one having a large circulation. Tbe Sentinel covers the
field here thoroughly and we stand
ready to guar*o"»« results. No one
can guarantee weather, but that is
tbe only doubtful factor.

Some goods seem more attractive

For one must use a shining bait to

But if you really knew wbich side

You'd do your trading here at

You'd find their poods are honest and

So why not patronize your friends

do you suppose tbey care
A jitney for tbe little burg, or even

Toward building roads, supporting

No more than do tbe peddlers witb

Their only interest in you is quite
pecuniary,
With your dollar in their pocket
you can go to—Tipperary.
Just think of this next time before

And give prosperity a chance to

more heavily.
Now on top of all tbis comes tbe
information that the Federal government bas prohibited tbe sale of
Michigan beans forcanningpurposes.
It is claimed that beans affected witb
anthracnose lose none of their nutritive value and are entirely healthful.
In view of tbis it would seem that
this prohibition is quite unjust and
uncalled for.
It is reported now tbat Gov. Ferris,
Dairy and Food Com. Helme and
Pres Orr of the State Jobbers' Association will take the matter up witb
the Federal authorities and seek to

Farwell H. S. Whitewashed
Last Friday afternoon the High

met at the old ball ground for a ball
game.
The contest soon proved to be
rather one-elded, the visiting team
•bowing a lack of practice . whicb
prevented their patting np much of
a defense. Stevens, the pitcher, did
fairly good work, bnt the fielders
had a habit of dropping tbe ball or
heaving it at some distant object.
Tbe Glare team, on the otber band,
exhibited quite a little class, whaling
the ball at frequent Intervals and

regularly. The score was 7 to 0, tbe
game being called in the seventh

Our nation was considered bound in honor to her treaty in regard to Belgium to resist invasiou, and although we are not prepared for a war on the continent, our small army was sent over to help stem the German legions pouring into Belgium and France. It is terrible to read of the awful carnage, and we see tbe wounded brought here to this town within 24 hours of receiving their wounds, and can near the booming of the Dig guus when it is quiet and the wind in the right direction. Again, at night we are iu darkness, no lighting being allowed, all street lamps out, and windows bave to have ail blinds down so as to shut out or rather shut in the light, because of the Zeppelins which come over and drop bombs on this country. We 'are getting onr supplies to tbe United Kingdom fairly regularly considering the submarines wbich lurk around tbe coasts and try to sink our cargo boats, whicb is bad enough, but wben it comes to sinking a boat like the Lasitania we call it murder and not war. We are glad to see America protesting against such pirates' work, and hope the might ot America will aiter tbe policy of the German submarines. Qlad to hear American is prosperous.

The Sentinel joins in congratulations and good wishes. People are coming to understand sotborongly the advantages of newspaper advertising for an auction sale over tbe old plan of posting np bills alone, tbat it seems unnecessary to say anything in tbat line, it reaches a class of buyers tbat tbe bills never reach (tbe beet class, too) and the expense is less than posting bills, if a man's time is worth anything. We bave advertised a number of sales for wbich not a bill wan posted and yet there was a large crowd. Of course when we speak of newspaper advertising we assume that tbe paper is one having a large circulation. Tbe Sentinel covers the field here thoroughly and we stand ready to guar*o"»« results. No one can guarantee weather, but that is tbe only doubtful factor. Mrs. Henry Trumbull.

Complications have now arisen tbat threaten to seriously bit tbe farmers of this state. Michigan produces about 75^ of all the beans raised in tbe country and in a cumber of counties they constitute the chief cash crop.

At the first, one overcoat, several sweaters, underclothing and a few otber things possibly, alt comprising a fairly good outfit for winter were carried away. Harris & Hirt lost a few dollars in change from their till, about 3 jack knives and perhaps a little other small stuff, though it is bard to determine just what. A few Quite a few pieces of property about town bave lately changed j bands, and there seems to be a con- stantly increasing demand for houses, 1 both to buy and to rent.

Jones, of the Clare City Mills, has a millwright from Owosso at work in his mill this week, having repairs made and getting machinery in shape for grinding buckwheat this season.

Blight and anthracnose whicb are something of comparatively modern origin, at least in this state, are wet weather diseases and the excessive rains have caused these diseases to do more than the usual amount of course tbe labor been greatly increased and the beans will pick much more heavily. Now on top of all tbis comes tbe information that the Federal government bas prohibited tbe sale of Michigan beans forcanningpurposes. It is claimed that beans affected witb anthracnose lose none of their nutritive value and are entirely healthful. In view of tbis it would seem that this prohibition is quite unjust and uncalled for. It is reported now tbat Gov. Ferris, Dairy and Food Com. Helme and Pres Orr of the State Jobbers' Association will take the matter up witb the Federal authorities and seek to bave the ban lifted, in whole or in part. Michigan's bean crop runs from 5,000,000 to 7,000,000 busbels annually and tbere is an unusually large acreage tbis ysar. summer by N. F. Geeck & Co.

Whitewashed Last Friday afternoon the High School teams of Clare and Farwell met at the old ball ground for a ball game. The contest soon proved to be rather one-elded, the visiting team •bowing a lack of practice . whicb prevented their patting np much of a defense.
