Passing the Ei&hth Grade Will
No Longer Exempt Pupils.
Every^child inthe"State of Michigan under the age of sixteen must be
in school or regularly employed,
-Without regard to whether or not he
9V ahe has passed the eighth grade,
according to an amendment of tbe
compulsory .school law,', which Governor W. N. Ferris has recently approved. Heretofore those children
•who had passed the eighth grade,
satisfactorily were exempt from the
provisions of the law regardless A of
their age.
Beginning 'with August 15, any child
claiming exemption on account of
having passed the eighth grade must
aecnre'a work permit from the county commissioner of schools or from
the graded school superintendent and
must be regularly employed at some
lawful work if physically able to do
so. This law, it is expected, will
have a decided tendency to keep
boys and girls in school for a longer
period and an increase in high school
enrollment ia assured.

he was making satisfactory progress
toward recovery and without any
premonition of hia nearness to the
em}, Mr. Pelton suddenly expired.

Decoration Day and at first gave
little promise of recovery; but later
rallied and gave .every indication
of regaining his wonted health.       •>
Mr. Pelton was born in Qenessee

months and 2 days old at the time of

A   Proclamation   By  the Governor.
■   i -. i r~- t
We believe that the Americafj flag is the
most beautiful and most significant of all the flags of
all the.na.tions of the earth. June 14, 1913, is the.
136th birthday of our flag. The story of the stars
and stripes is the story of a great and v mighty people. It symbolizes "life, liberty, and the pursuit of
human happiness," the fundamental elements of a
great brotherhood. Let the people of Michigan on
Saturday, June 14, display this sacred emblem on
all state, municipal and school buildings; let American citizens conduct such exercises as will encourage our youth to love and reverence. the flag and
what it symbolizes.
Mary O'Donnell was horn

country when about 15 years

BURGLARS AGAIN ,
v   * ■
Wilson-Davy Co.'s Store Broken
Into Sunday Night.
Burglars have given us a rest here
»ow for several -weeks, in fact it
began to look as though the Petoakey
bloodhound would not be needed
here again. However, Sunday night
or very early Monday morning they
proceeded,to remove the large pane
of glass in one of the rear doors of
the Wilson-Davy Btore, then reaching
through.it was an easy matter to unbar the door and effect an entrance.
The safe appearing to promise the
most plunder, entrance thereto was
attempted through the the nitroglycerine route, but being alarmed
or for some otbpr reason the job was
given up.* , "Apparently from pure
ousBedness they smashed the combination, rendering it necessary to
obtain the service of an expert from
Gladwin to open the safe. The, contents were of course undisturbed nor
was anything taken from the store so
far as can be determined. A coat of
of the hobo pattern was found in the
rear of the store, generously left as a
momento of the visit. No trace of
the thieves as yet.-
Monster "Bee" Builds 260 ^Miles
In One Day.
Talk about co-operation! The people of northeastern Michigan along
the Huron shore are certainly entitled, sot only to the cake but to
the entire bakery tbis time. Think
of building 260 miles of road in one
day and some of it over country that
bad been the dread of travelers.
For some time the papers have been
telling ua of what theBe people intended to do on June 9th, but the
most enthusiastic £ould hardly have
expected such a magnificent resnlt.
Everybody helped. The men of tbe
citieB went out enmasse to join with
the farmers, some of them starting
at 4 a! m. without any breakfast.
The farmers' wives prepared dinner
for all who came and they came by
autoloads. The mayor of the city
was no better than a hod carrier that
day.
From Bay Oity to Mackinac,
through the counties of Bay, Arenac,
Ogemaw, Iosco, Alcona, Alpena,
Presque Isle and Cheboygan, this
wonderfully produced piece of road
extends. What were almost impassable B&ndy roads are now said to be
good clay roads with gravel top
dressing. If such a result as this can
be accomplished, would it not be
well to have .Borne more "bees"
around the state?
FEW TO FORFEIT
• Therefore, I, Woodbridge N. Ferris Governor of Michigan, do issue this proclamation and enthusiastically urge the observance of Saturday, the
fourteenth of June, 1913, as Flag Day.

united in marriage to Raymond McDonnell. To this union '12 children
were born and ten of this large Dumber have grown to manhood and
womanhood and still survive.
Coming to Vernon in Isabella Co.,
some 27 years ago, the family resided there, several of the older children making for themselves homes
near by, A few years ago the father
and mother, with some Of the younger children came to this city where
they have since resided and where
the mother died on Saturday, May 31.
The funeral, conducted by Father
McAllister, assisted by Father Le-
Fever of Cadillac, was held at St
Henry's church in Vernon on Wednesday June 4. Two of the children
made the long journey from the
Pacific coast and thus all this large
band of children were gathered to
join in this last sad tribute to their
departed mother. Who can tell of
the labors and sacrifices of 4, mother
who has reared such a family of
children and how much the world is
indebted to her for such a life.
Ab June 8th was the day fixed by
both orders for memorial services,
the Odd   Fellows   and Knights   of
William Frary.
William Frary who bad been a resident here for some six years died of
cancer last week and was buried
from the Congregational church on
Sunday afternoon. His wife died of
the same dread disease three years
ago. Three brothers and two sisters
survive, all of whom attended the
funeral save tbe one brother who
lives in Colorado.

Who
Less Than 200 Districts Will Lose
Primary Apportionment.
Only 180 school districts representing 40 counties in tbe state of Miohi-
igaii will foreit their primary apportionment this year because they have
too large a surplus on hand. Last
year 495 districts, representing 53
counties, did not participate. The
difference is due largely to the fact
'that in districts where only one
' teacher had, been previously employed despite a large enrollment of
pupils, the board has wisely secured
two or more teachers in order to reduce the surplus so that the district
should Share in the apportionment.
In this way school conditions have
been improved by the« change governing the apportionment.

Why Have Wrinkles?
Having been cured of various ailments and acquired a beautiful complexion, Dairy Commissioner Helme
seems determined- now to rid himself
of the ugly wrinkles which will ordinarily persist in coming as the years
go by. Noticing that some "beauty
specialist," a class getting quite numerous now, had discovered an infallible specific, a very Bimple "home
remedy" that conld be purchased at
any drug store, in short "Saxolite-,"
be purchased an ounce of this wonderful remedy at the vory lpw price
of 75 cents and the chemist proceeded to dissect it. 40 per cent Epsom
salts and 60 per cent alum. This
ounce makes a whole half pint of the
precious' remedy, being diluted with
witch hazel. Whether the alum
"puckers" up tbe skin so as to cause
the wrinkles to disappear, is not explained. The commissioner figures
out that 20 cents worth of ingredient would make $24,00 worth of
"Saxolite." Great ia humbuggery.
How foolish for anyone to have
wrinkles.

Put up thy sword!    Its   glittering
blade
Will never right the wrongs of men
Too long have nations sought its aid,
And perished since the world began.    • _
Put up thy sword!   It yields no argument,
And settles naught of earth's
rest; '
In bloody rust its force is spent,
And leaves itB scars  on lands

Pnt np thy   sword!    For they

The   flword   must perish    by the

Soon others, stronger, caught by tbe

Ofblood, will bring  th' oppressor

Pat up thy sword!   Let reason  rule,
For men are men the whole world
'round;
We learn no lessons in the school
Of hate, and heal no hurtful wound.
Put uy thy sword!   'Tis better far
To win by love and suffering;
Love lives and reigns when cruel war
In blood and dust lies weltering.
