that will be the ultimate result, but

October session of tLe board of supervisors of Clare county.
Tbeir regular fall meeting which

Ingersoll On Love.
The following beautiful tribute to
woman's love and devotion is from
the pen of Robert G. Ingersoll: "The
one thing in this world that is constant, the one window in wbicb light
forever burns, the one star wbich
darkness cannot quench, is woman's
love. It rises to the greatest height;
it sinks to tbe lowest depth; it forgives the most cruel injuries. It ie
perennial of life and grows in any
climate: neither coldness nor neglect,
harshness nor cruelty can extinguish
it. A woman's love is the perfume
of the heart. This is the real love
tbat wrought miracles in art; that
gives music all tbe way from tbe
cradle song to the symphony tbat
bears fhe soul away on wings of fire;
a love that is greater than power,
sweeter than life, and stronger than
death."

thousands in a flock, moving to and '

the spectacle would be inspiring indeed. And wben we recall th
regard in which tine " worthless land' I
of Clare county was held only a few
years ago, wbere now a thriving industry has developed, tbe wonder is
still greater.
These sheep come from two different ranches, part being berded on
tbe Bingham land and part on the
Cole ranch, tbe latter operated by
Calkins and Augsbury. As we understand it, all are in charge of W.

Mrs. Fred Hubel gave in bonor of
their sister Mrs. Thos. Perry of

wearing gay costumes, and iast but
not least came the ghost witb jaek-o-

playing parlor games, singing, and
with instrumental music. Cigars,

Best of all was a step dance by little

No one need be told that tbe coon-
try about Clare ie developing into a
wonderful dairy section. One has
only .to notice the hundreds of cans
of cream that are shipped out to appreciate that fact. Perhaps the
cbickeus do not attract so mucb attention, but few trains leave without
several crates of tbem. Otber
branches of poultry do not seem to
be receiving any special attention
and tbe duck and goose farms are
yet to come.
We are not informed as to the
i amount of poultry other buyers are
; receiving but tbe business of the
Produce Co. along tbat
line made it necessary for tbem to
construct an enclosure for handling
the chickens till a car load is on
hand. Of course one sees here a
great variety of breeds and tbe
"mongrel" is always in evidence.
The Barred Rocks or crosses of that
breed perhaps predominate.
The company expect to ship ont
today for New York City a car load
of 16,000 pounds. Of course these go
in a poultry car built for tbat special
purpose. Tbe prices paid farmers
are nine and ten cents, being about
one cent bigber tban a year ago. In
tbe near future as tb*e weather gets
colder the poultry will be dressed
bere aod shipped in tbat form.

A Personal Appeal To You
The Sentinel has for several years back made
it a practice to send out notices promptly to those
whose subscriptions have just expired, calling their attention to that fact, and inviting them to renew for
another year.
Many of our rural subscribers have no doubt
received these notices from the Sentinel through the
spring and summer, but were not able to spare the
money at that time. To any such, and others who
may owe for subscriptions at this time, we appeal for
prompt payment of what is due. Most of you have
money coming in at this season of the year, and there
are surely few but what can spare $1.00 for their
home newspaper.
We believe you will appreciate the honest effort that] is being made to give the people of Clare
and Northern Isabella counties * a good newspaper,
and that you will respond readily to this call for assistance.

The following beautiful tribute to woman's love and devotion is from the pen of Robert G. Ingersoll: "The one thing in this world that is constant, the one window in wbicb light forever burns, the one star wbich darkness cannot quench, is woman's love. It rises to the greatest height; it sinks to tbe lowest depth; it forgives the most cruel injuries. It ie perennial of life and grows in any climate: neither coldness nor neglect, harshness nor cruelty can extinguish it. A woman's love is the perfume of the heart. This is the real love tbat wrought miracles in art; that gives music all tbe way from tbe cradle song to the symphony tbat bears fhe soul away on wings of fire; a love that is greater than power, sweeter than life, and stronger than death."

After an impressive devotional service, many ladies responded roll call by giving their experience in earning one dollar. These varied from selling Dutch cheese, baking j and painting to selling watered buttermilk, and some e\ en hinted at stealing the money. The sum of j eighteen dollars was raised witb tbe j promise of more aggressive work to i wipe out the church debt.

Last Friday evening at the home of tbe class treasurer, Miss Lulu Stone, tbe seniors and others were very pleasantly entertained. The rooms were fittingly decorated and the nature of the games brought forth the ghostly figures to an amazing extent. Fortune telling, a roast and some excellent games were the evening's features, after wbich ail departed for tbe spooky journey homeward. The Senior Debating society met last Wednesday evening. Tbe familiar phrase "Woman's Rights" was the subject for argument. The freshmen and sophomores let no opportunity for recreation pass them lately as may be seen by the number of roasts and parties beid for their entertainment. A very fine program was enjoyed by tbe high scbool scholars last Tuesday morning. The faculty gave interesting talks on the doings at tbe State Teachers' Association wbicb was beld last week. Hurrah!

Oct. 28, a miscellaneous shower was given sheep, hundreds and sometimes j ftjr thousands in a flock, moving to and ' from the ranches north of Clare, so tbe sight of tbis number would not bo an unusual one. But to a Strang-; Clare also Dale r-l er, one not familiar with ranch life, the spectacle would be inspiring indeed. And wben we recall th regard in which tine " worthless land' I of Clare county was held only a few years ago, wbere now a thriving industry has developed, tbe wonder is still greater. These sheep come from two different ranches, part being berded on tbe Bingham land and part on the Cole ranch, tbe latter operated by Calkins and Augsbury.

Perry of Boyne City. Tbe guests assembled wearing gay costumes, and iast but not least came the ghost witb jaek-o- lantern. The evening was spent in playing parlor games, singing, and with instrumental music. Cigars, candy and bananas were enjoyed. Best of all was a step dance by little Dale Randell. At the close of tbe fun lunch was served. A Guest. Nov (From Tbe Clare County Press 5, !H80. It was almost a clean sweep in this . county. They say that those fellows up in the north woods are voting for Andrew Mack yet. Charlie Druyer's camp west of this village is getting out about 50,000 feet of timber a day, and the "boss" has just closed another 3,000,000 ft. contract. He's liable to have all he can do for a few days to come. It ie currently reported that a prominent greenbacker of Clare, wbo waged a new hat that twenty-five No one need be told that tbe coon- try about Clare ie developing into a wonderful dairy section. One has only .to notice the hundreds of cans of cream that are shipped out to appreciate that fact. Perhaps the cbickeus do not attract so mucb attention, but few trains leave without several crates of tbem. Otber branches of poultry do not seem to be receiving any special attention and tbe duck and goose farms are yet to come. We are not informed as to the i amount of poultry other buyers are ; receiving but tbe business of the Produce Co. along tbat line made it necessary for tbem to construct an enclosure for handling the chickens till a car load is on hand. Of course one sees here a great variety of breeds and tbe "mongrel" is always in evidence. The Barred Rocks or crosses of that breed perhaps predominate. The company expect to ship ont today for New York City a car load of 16,000 pounds. Of course these go in a poultry car built for tbat special purpose. Tbe prices paid farmers are nine and ten cents, being about one cent bigber tban a year ago. In tbe near future as tb*e weather gets colder the poultry will be dressed bere aod shipped in tbat form. The L.B.B.C. Halloween Party. The members of the Liberty Bell Bird Club had a delightful little Halloween party at tbe bome of Helen Canfield Tuesday evening.

A Personal Appeal To You The Sentinel has for several years back made it a practice to send out notices promptly to those whose subscriptions have just expired, calling their attention to that fact, and inviting them to renew for another year. Many of our rural subscribers have no doubt received these notices from the Sentinel through the spring and summer, but were not able to spare the money at that time. To any such, and others who may owe for subscriptions at this time, we appeal for prompt payment of what is due. Most of you have money coming in at this season of the year, and there are surely few but what can spare $1.00 for their home newspaper. We believe you will appreciate the honest effort that] is being made to give the people of Clare and Northern Isabella counties * a good newspaper, and that you will respond readily to this call for assistance.
