NOW jNJFFECT
Changes   Lately   Announced
In Mai! Routes.
Does Clare  Need   Saloons?
LOOMIS OFFICE
To   Be   Taken   Up  Entirely   Is
Latest Report.
Last Wednesday, Nov. 18, the new
regulations of the postoffiee department went into effect as applying to
local territory, one mail route being
taken off, and numerous changes being made in the country served by
tbe other six. All carriers throughout the country are having their
rbntee lengthened, and it is planned
that this will take care of all families cat off by the pulling off of some
routes.
Well-founded report now has it
that the Loomis postoffiee wil! be
discontinued about Dec. 1, people in
that locality being served from this
office. In that case, still further
changes will no doubt be made in
our routes two and fonr. Postmaster Jackson bas promised to give us
full particulars as to Just tbe territory served by each rcute, as soon
as this report can be officially confirmed, probably next week.
Of course many of our subscribers
wili now get their mail from a different office. By next week we expect
to get information which will enable
us to send your Sentinel out properly
without special notice from each individual subscriber as to the change
in hia address. If you fail to receive
your copy promptly, however, after
this week, kindly notify us by letter
or otherwise.

Abstract  of  sermon   by    M   C.  Davie»   at
Congregational Church Nov. 14)
Text, Proverbs 23:31-32
Undoubtedly the subject of temperance in ail things has been brought to
our minds many times during our
lives, but I am sure tbat tbe subject
of temperance in regard to drink bas j
been made plain to us innumerable
times, for the preachers bave denounced it from tue pulpit, orators
have upbraided it from the pablic
platform and politicans bave fought
it in congress and legislature. From
the text we can surmise that tbe old
ancients had to fight against liquor,
although possibly not so much as we.
Ae Clare is unfortunate enough to
be listed among tbe wet towns of
Micbigan, I am led to ask the question, "Does Clare need any saloons?:'
Can it not exist without them? Evidently not for I understand that you
have two licensed liquor houses here.
Perhaps you say: "Why is Clare
unfortunate? Do they not attract
people from the neighboring towns
to our city, tbus not only helping the
saloon keeper but all of tbe otber
lines of business in town, for a man
will not come five or 6ix miles to get
booze alone?" "Besides," vou say,
"do we not all benefit bybavingtbese
institutions in our midst? More
money is brought into our town thus
making us more wealthy. And again
our taxes are being made considerably lighter by having the saloon."
This is an old but futile argument
which is constantly being put up by
the retreating liquor men. They
say: "Why you must have saloons
in Clare, for look how we keep your
taxes down." Is that so? Listen.
Bellingharn, Wash., became dry ir.
1914 and before that \ear was ended
the tax had dropped from 37 mills to
3-j mills. Kansas, a prohibition state,
is the only state in the Union whicb
is free from debt. It has but one
pauper to every 2900 citizens. S7
counties without any insane, 37 poor
houses empty and 65 counties without a single prisoner, and yet the
liquor men have tbe audacity to tell
us that wo cannot live without tbeir
aid. Again, three years ago the
United State received S .50,00f).OOO as
revenue from the liquor men of thi =
country. Our working men paid to
tbe saloons 82,000,000.000 and spent
* 1.200,000,000 in tines and cost*
through booze, thus making a total
of $3,200,000,OOOpaidoutandonly $350,-
000.0O0 received back. That means
that the whisKey business cost ns
$2,850,000,000 in solid gold and
wbat bave we to show. And
listen. In tbat same year this
country spent $6,000,000,000 for the
insane, paupers, criminals and other
destitute people and 82 per cent of
the criminals and 75 percent of the
paupers were whiskey ma4e. Allow
me to use one more fact to prove
tbat a community does not profit by
having a saloon. Do you know tbat
tbe earnings of the average saloon
keeper in tbe U. S. is S870O and out of
that be paid S520 for taxes, etc., leaving $7,180 as tbe dealers' toll, wbich
in the last analysis is paid by the
starving wives, besotted husbands,
blasted careen, wreck, ruin, despaic
and deatb. Doe* it pay to bave two
boose joints in Glare?
The saloon ia tbe breeder of ail
crime and villianies. I go to a family in Glare which ia broken and in
misery and ask, "Wbat caused this?"
I am told "Drink." I go to a once
thriving business man on tbe •treat

Sarah Elizabeth Cookson, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Milo Cookson, was
born near Blnffton, Ohio, Nov. 14,
1861, and died at her home near Clare
Nov. 10, 1915, age 53 years, 11 months
and 25 days.

Those who are holding auction
sales tbis fall are fortunate in having
unusually fine weather, and tbe
weather prophet seems to think tbat
this is likely to continue throughout
the month. We call attention this
week to three sales, all of tbem offering lists that are well worth attention.
W. N.  Younglove.
Mr. Younglove's sale takes place
today and the full list appeared last
week. He offers some good stock
and farm tools. The sale is >£-mile
north cf tbe McKinley scbool bouse
and begins at 12:30 sharp. John
Beadle is auctioneer.
Wm. G. Kaul.
On another page will be   found  the
complete   list   offered by Mr. Kaul al
his sale Ii miles east   of  Elm   Crove
store in Sberidan.      As   will   be seen, !
it is a very large  sale   and   begins   at i
9:30   sharp.      The   large   offering   is j
sure   to   attract   a   biu;   crowd.    Free j
luncb   will be served.      John   Beadle j
is auctioneer and J. R. Herrick clerk. I
Jarvis Mott.
On Friday, Nov. 26, Mr. Mott will
bave a sale 4 miles west and '.,-mile
south of Beaverton. The farm is
rented and everything must positively be Bold. He offers quite a ict
of live stock including a fine matched j
team and a number of cows, some
soon to be fresb. Farm tools, grain
and fodder are also to be sold. Sale j
begins at 10 a. m. and free lunch wili
be eervee John Beadle is auctioneer.    See ad on another page,
Mavis-Wood.
Lena Mae, to Howard F. Rathburn of
Gilmore.     They  were   attended    by
Pansy Phillips and Alvin Wood,   and
a   friend  of   the    bride.    Miss    Mae,
At  bach   pontioes of   Saginaw  acted  as  maid   And
of honor.
Tbelma Glass a littie neice, and
Richard Murphy of Saginaw, a little;
nephew of tbe bride, acted as flower
girl and ring bearer, tbe former
carrying a basket of beautiful white
chrysanthemums, while the ring
bearer bore a large white chrysanthemum witb the ring nestling in its
petals. Tbe ceremony was performed by S. L. Randell of the Diciple
Church.
The bride wore a beautiful gown of
GOOD   ATTENDANCE
Much    Interest    Manifest
Generally.
Last Sunday being designated as
"World's Temperance Sunday" several of our churches made the idea
prominent in sermon or Sunday
School program or both. Very likely considerable good was done by
calling attention to various phases
of the matter.
At the   Congregational   church   M.
C. Davies,   a  student   in   Alma  College, gave what seems  to  him  some
white crepe de   chene and   carried   a I reasons why Clare needs no saloons.
Mr. Davies is only a boy of 18 yeara
but he seems to have some very pronounced views on the subject. In
another column we give an abstract
covering perhaps one half of his address, all that our space will allow.
Tbe Sunday school lesson furtherem-
phasized the general idea.
At the M E. church Rev. Large in
elaborating his topic "Men Wranted"
spoke at some length on the gains
that have been made along temperance lines and the great need of men
who are ready fearlessly to stand for
the right in the great contest now
| impending in this county and this
Tonisbt, Nov. 19th, the >econa I state. The Sunday school carried
number of tbe lecture course at Far- ! out a special temperance program
will be given, Clarence Locke Miiler ; consisting of music, recitations and
delivering hi8 lecture on Tolstoy— readings. The attendance was near-

boquet of white chrysanthemums,
and smilax. The many relatives ot
the couple presented tbem with a
number of handsome gifts, and after
the ceremony tbey were treated to a
bounteous dinner. Tbey will remain
