CONGRESSMAN LOUD fatauccideht
Declares That We Need A
Much Larger Navy.
OLD OPPOSITION
"Will Fade Away In The Light Of
Recent Events.
Evidently Congressman Loud takes
no stock in the Bryan propaganda
tbat the proper way to ward off
burglars is to leave your bouse
unlocked and burn up all your
weapons. In an interview in the
Bay City Tribune he declares em-
Mrs. Jacob Hess Falls To Her
Death.
From Our BouebusU Correspondent)
On Tuesday of last week Mrs. Jacob Hess of Isabella Twp. met with
her death in a peculiar and unlooked
for way. She had gone to the barn
in search of eggs and in some way
fell through a hole used to put down
straw, falling eight, feet upon a c-e
ment floor. She was found by a
daughter about one hour afterward
and lived but a couple of hours after being removed to the house.
She was born in F.rie Co., X. Y.,
and was 59 years of age. She had
been married 3< years and had lived

and expresses the opinion that the I in Isabella Co. 26 years, most of that
opposition that has regularly appear- I time in Lincoln Twp.. comin
ed when tbis matter has been con
sidered will largely disappear in tbe
light of recent developments. He
says in part:
•'I am greatly satisfied and pleased
in the fact that President Wilson
feels disposed to advocate tbe building of an adequate naval defense.
I believe the whole nation is moving
that way. It is a matter in which
most of those interested wiil agree
that the United States needs an
adequate navy or no navy at all.
"For several years, wben tbe Republican party was in pow.er, it was
an accepted policj to authorize the
building each year of two additional
battleships of the largest tonnage
and tbe most powerful armaments,
bnt when the majority of tbe representatives became Democrats there
was a tendency to economize in
national expenditures by cutting
down tbe naval building program.
"So from two new ships a year we
are now authorizing the construction
of one. The general board of the
navy for some time past has advocated 48 battleship as the foundation for
our naval strength, but in the face of
conditions which have developed
since the war began in Europe it is
probable that the board will revise
tbis estimate. On July 1, 1914, the
United States had *± battleships built
or in the course of construction.

"Because of ber great colonial interests, which she must guard.
Great Britain's reliance for her defence and existence has been upon
her navy. While I do not beiiev*

FINE OPENER
On The Farwell Lecture Course
Thursday Night.
The success of the lecture and entertainment course at Farwell seems
to oe assured. Their opening number was given last Thursday evening
before a crowd which filled the hall
to capacity, and everyone seemed to
be more than satisfied
Tbe Regniers—a man and his wife-
furnished tbe program, wbich consisted of vocal and instrumental music and impersonations. At all of
these both excelled and the applause
with whicb almost every number was
greeted, was very generous. In costume and dialect singing, he was especially amusing, whiie in several of
these the singing was of quite a high
order. Her voice was also pleasing,
and tbe accompaniments were handled faultlessly.
Mrs. T. U. Fulier introduced the
company, calling attention to the
second number wbich comes on Nov.
19. Quite a number of Clare people
attended, and all seemed highly
pleased with the entertainment.
Nivison-Hampton.
Beau growers have been sending
out bear stories in regard to tbe bean
crop all through the summer and
fall. But if all parts of the state
come forward with as gsod records
as are produced by some parts of
Clare and Isabella counties, the
story may not be quite so bad as at
first claimed.
Clarence Beers, who is located on
Sec. 27 in Wise township threshed
last week, getting about 556 bushels
from 20 acres. "Five acres of this,
however, was unusually good, producing ISO bushels, or at tbe rate of
36 bushels to the acre. While it ia
hard to determine just how much
tare the buyers wili exact, yet tbe
beans seem to be quite clean and
free from spots.
John D. Carey at tbe east end of
Vernon township sold hia 1915 beans
to the Clare Elevator Co. tbis week
receiving a check of $2010.80 for
them. He had an acreage of 24, so
that bis yield was about 26 bushels to
the acre, giving Wise township first
prise in the contest so far. About
5 pounds was the toll on this lot
wben picked.
If any of our Clare county farmers
can excell these records as we presume thev can in some quarters, we
should be glad to make the facts
known. .

From Herrick Corespondent
On Thursday evening of last week
a surprise was neatly carried out on
Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Blystone when
nearly sixty of their friends marched
in with lunch basket in one band and
present in the other. The evening
was a little chilly, but a beautiful
moonlight made it very pleasant for
the young people and they improved
it by having a variet} of amusements
out of doors. A fine lunch aud coffee were served at 10:30 and soon after the crowd began to disperse,
leaving behind them many beautiful
and useful presents with best wishes
for tne happy young couple in their
beautiful home.

The mere presence of these bacteria does not necessarily produce
disease. A normal, temperate life,

She was found by a daughter about one hour afterward and lived but a couple of hours after being removed to the house. She was born in F.rie Co., X. Y., and was 59 years of age. She had been married 3< years and had lived NORMAL YIELD Of Beans Reported In Two Localities.

He says in part: •'I am greatly satisfied and pleased in the fact that President Wilson feels disposed to advocate tbe building of an adequate naval defense. I believe the whole nation is moving that way. It is a matter in which most of those interested wiil agree that the United States needs an adequate navy or no navy at all. "For several years, wben tbe Republican party was in pow.er, it was an accepted policj to authorize the building each year of two additional battleships of the largest tonnage and tbe most powerful armaments, bnt when the majority of tbe representatives became Democrats there was a tendency to economize in national expenditures by cutting down tbe naval building program. "So from two new ships a year we are now authorizing the construction of one. The general board of the navy for some time past has advocated 48 battleship as the foundation for our naval strength, but in the face of conditions which have developed since the war began in Europe it is probable that the board will revise tbis estimate. On July 1, 1914, the United States had *± battleships built or in the course of construction. Great Britain bad 76 and Germany -10. "Because of ber great colonial interests, which she must guard.

The success of the lecture and entertainment course at Farwell seems to oe assured. Their opening number was given last Thursday evening before a crowd which filled the hall to capacity, and everyone seemed to be more than satisfied Tbe Regniers—a man and his wife- furnished tbe program, wbich consisted of vocal and instrumental music and impersonations. At all of these both excelled and the applause with whicb almost every number was greeted, was very generous. In costume and dialect singing, he was especially amusing, whiie in several of these the singing was of quite a high order. Her voice was also pleasing, and tbe accompaniments were handled faultlessly. Mrs. T. U. Fulier introduced the company, calling attention to the second number wbich comes on Nov. 19. Quite a number of Clare people attended, and all seemed highly pleased with the entertainment. Nivison-Hampton. Beau growers have been sending out bear stories in regard to tbe bean crop all through the summer and fall. But if all parts of the state come forward with as gsod records as are produced by some parts of Clare and Isabella counties, the story may not be quite so bad as at first claimed. Clarence Beers, who is located on Sec. 27 in Wise township threshed last week, getting about 556 bushels from 20 acres. "Five acres of this, however, was unusually good, producing ISO bushels, or at tbe rate of 36 bushels to the acre. While it ia hard to determine just how much tare the buyers wili exact, yet tbe beans seem to be quite clean and free from spots. John D. Carey at tbe east end of Vernon township sold hia 1915 beans to the Clare Elevator Co. tbis week receiving a check of $2010.80 for them. He had an acreage of 24, so that bis yield was about 26 bushels to the acre, giving Wise township first prise in the contest so far. About 5 pounds was the toll on this lot wben picked. If any of our Clare county farmers can excell these records as we presume thev can in some quarters, we should be glad to make the facts known. .

The mere presence of these bacteria does not necessarily produce disease. A normal, temperate life, free alike from the gluttony of idleness or overwork, the sound mind in the sound body, a cheerful environment, these form the ground in which bacteria take no root.

Mr. Walters is in only moderate circumstances and the loss falls heavily upon tbe family. The board of supervisors of Wex- Loses f°ra county last week elected Supt.
