VETERANS RETURN
Loud In Praises Of Good Time
On Gettysburg Trip.
The air is  full  of farewells  to  the
dying,
And mournings for the dead;
The heart of Rachel, for her children
crying,
Will not be comforted.
Let us be patient.   These severe afflictions
Not from the ground^ arise,
But often times celestial benedictions
Assume this dark disguise. _
We see but dimly through the mists
and vapors;
Amid these earthly damps
What seem to  us  but sad, funereal
tapers
May be heaven's distant lamps.
There is no Death (   What seems so
id transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call Death.
She is-fcot dead,—the child of our affection—
But gone unto tbat school
Where she no longer needs our poor
protection.
And Christ himself doth rule.
In that great cloister's stillness and
seclusion,
By guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sin's
pollution.
She lives, whom we call dead.
Day after day we think what she is
doing
It those bright realms of air;
Year after  year,   her  tender  steps
pursuing,
Behold her grown more fair.
Not ae a child shall we again behold
her;
For when with raptures  wild
In our embraces we again enfold ber.,
She will not be a child;
But a fair maiden, in ber Father's
mansion,
Clothed with celestial grace;
And beautiful with all the soul's expansion
Shall we behold her face.
—Longfellow.
Round About Us.
AH AMBITION PRODUCER.
Commissioner Helme Discovers
Hookworm Remedy.
8. P. Dowd of this city who served
in the 1st Mich, cavalry in tbe Civil
war has told us something of the interesting trip to Gettysburg and of
tbe inspiring scenes witnessed on
that famous battlefield. Mr. Dowd's
regiment made a part of tbe famous
Ouster brigade and during the battle
was on the extreme right flunk of
the Union army, opposing the Confederate cavalry force of Stuart.
The Michigan Veterans gathered at
Detroit, going from there to Cleveland over the Lake Shore, thence to
Oonnelsville, Penn., over the Erie,
tbeu by the West Maryland, a comparatively new road, to Gettysburg
which they reached about S p. m, on
Sunday, June 2§. The camp was in
the valley between Cemetery and
Seminary ridges, tbe Union and Confederate oamps being at the base of
the ridge occupied by each during
the battle. The tents, cots, etc. were
provided by the Federal government
while the state of Pennsylvania furnished, tbe rations and Mr. Dowd
says they were of the best. When
feasting on the ice cream and other
delicacies the old soldiers, especially
the confederates, must have thought
of the great contrast between such
fare and that served to them 50 years
ago,
Perhaps no scene on this occasion
was more impressive than the mock
repetion of Pickett's charge np Seminary ridge. One confederate, Wm.
H. Turpin of the 63d Va, wearing the
same old gray suit be did 60 years
ago and his feet wrapped up in pieces
of blanket, as he was than shoeless.
How can one help but admire the
valor of a man who could march into the jaws of death under such circumstances.
Mr. Dowd says that while the Confederates dislike to admit that they
were beaten in the great conflict,
still they are thoroughly glad now
tbat such was tbe fact. They realize
what an awful curse slavery was to
them and that the coming of Northern capital and enterprise into tbe
South since the war has been a most
potent factor in that section's development.
As one of the happy results of this
reunion, it seems probable that tbe
two sections will unite, in the building of a monument of peace, a monument that will stand as a symbol of
American valor, manhood and brotherhood,
PeFry F. Powers of the Cadillac

The annual school meeting on
Monday evening was not as -largely
attended aa its seeming importance
would warrant. However, there was
one innovation, four ladies being
in attendance. Certainly the mothers are as much interested in tbe
schools as the fathers, and generally
tbey are more so, and it would be
wall if these meetings had their presence and counsel. Many seemed
to think that the question of providing additional room for school work
would come up for discussion and
perhaps some perliminary action,
but Such was not the case. Of course
everyone realizes that the matter
can not long be delayed but must be
met in the very near future.
The meeting was called to order
by President Perry and Secretary
Reading read the report of the last
annual meeting which report was
approved. The secretary then read
the report of the board for tbe year
ending July 1, 1913, and tbis was,
after some discussion, on motion of
John A. Jackson, accepted and its
recommendations concurred in. The
general report of receipts and expenses follows and shows that the
funds-are entirely exhausted, indeed
that there is a small overdraft.

Mr. Helme seems to have been
looking around of late to discover
something that will relieve that tired
feeling incident to hookworm or
Borne similar affliction. Naturally
he thought tbe problem solved when
he saw the picture of a man who had
jumped four feet high as a result of
taking a box of Keliogg's "Sanitone
Wafers," tbe "greatest nerve vital-
izer ever known" as the ad modestly
claimed. The wafers cost only S1.00
per box and five boxes would do the
job for any one. A box was ordered
and the analysis of the state chemist
showed that each wafer contains
5X grains of Chromium Sulphate, a
4-5ths green pigment used by paint
ers, grain of a derivative of coal tar
and X grainoi Red pepper.
Commissioner Helme concludes
tbat if other people desire to paint
themselves red and green inside in
order to develop ambition of course
they can do so, but he will continue
at the same Old pace.

July
Crop    Report    Indicates
Poorest In Years,
On tbe Move.
The report of«tbe secretary of state
issued July 1st shows tbat the wheat
crop tbis year is likely to yield tbe
lightest of any in years, the estimate
for the state being only about 14%
bushels per acre. Taking the estimated number of acres in the state
as 770,586, gives the probable wheat
Crop as a little over II million
bushels.
The late spring and drouth during
the early summer leaves all spring
crops far behind an average, though
all are now coming rapidly forward.
The indications are that there will be
about a half crop of fruit of all kinds.
Implement dealers are kept hustling these days to supply the farmers
with tools and farm machinery. L.
H. Thompson, the Fourth St. implement man, has had three and four
men busy tor some time setting up
mowers, binders, rakes, etc. and getting them ready for delivery. He
has also worked np a fine trade in
separators as a result of the series of
Ads. ran in the Sentinel by the makers of the United States cream separator, and at one time last week had
several orders ahead) but was unable
to find a man to deliver them.        '

Mrs. A. J. Olute has as her guest
this week Mrs. Harriet Trujillo,
daughter of Geo. D. Edmonds of
Deerfield township, Isabella Co., an
old'resident of that county. Mrs.
Trujillo has resided in Mexico for a
number of years, has traveled extensively there, speaks Spanish like
a Castillian and is thoroughly conversant with conditions in that Country during tbe past few years, Her
hUBband, Oarlos Trujillo, was a native of the country and was chief of
police in the city of Mexico dnring
tbe Madeiro rejime. Mrs. T. left
that country last October and her
husband was assassinated, or perhaps killed by a stray bullet, early in
March. Probably the manner of bis
death will never be known.
Porfirio Diaz ruled Mezico for 33
years and preserved peace and order.
He ruled with an iron hand but it
was necessary and the only way
with the people over whom he ruled.
The Madeiro revolution was instigated and financed largely by outside
interests which were seeking concessions which Pres, Diaz refused to
grant. Tbe mining, railroad and
many other interests are controlled
by foreigners, largely English and
American, and these interests would
selfishly embroil this country in war
witb Mexico'for their own advancement. The guerrilla warfare carried
on in northern Mexico is by the
Indians and is solely for plunder.
Madeiro made great promises of
what he would do for the Peon class
and failure and utter inability to
carry out these promises caused his
downfall. He was undoubtedly
killed in the palace and the story
told of the killing on the way to the
prison a fabrication.
An election for president will be
held in October. Huerta, the "Provisional President" will not be eligible
as a candidate. Felix Diaz, nephew
of the former president, possesses
many of the attributes of his illustrious uncle and would probably stand
the best chance of restoring the
country to an orderly condition.
Mrs. Trujillo feels that it would be
a most deplorable thing for this
country to be drawn into a war with
Mexico. The Mexicans generally
have a hatred of foreigners and an
invasion would unite them. For an
army to march to the city of Mexico
now would be quite a different affair
from what it was in 1846. She has
large property interests in Mexico,
but can only wait the restoration of
peace, and order before returning
there.

SHIPPING LIQUOR
Into Dry Territory to be More
Difficult Afier August IS.
For years people have commented
on the absurdity and injustice of tbe •
Federal government issuing licenses
to persons in states where the liquor
traffic had been outlawed by tha
state. Following tbe passage of the
Webb bill by congress, our own legislature enacted into law a bill introduced by Representative Pray of
Eaton Oo. which will go into effect
August 15 and would seem to promise
tbe accomplishment of some good..
The first section provides that if any
person (other than a druggist) pays
tbe United States internal revenue
tax, it shall constitute prima facie
evidence that it is with intent*to violate the law of the state or municipality.       v
No longer can goods be shipped
in "perfectly plain packages " The
package mast contain the name and
address of both consignor and consignee; kind and quantity of liquor
therein contained and a statement
that such liquors are for personal
and family use of the consignee or
for medicinal, mechanical, chemical
scientific ot sacramental purposes.
Any consignee receiving a package
containing liquors upon which appears a statement known by him to
be false, or any person consigning or
shipping package under similar conditions, is liable to a fine of $500 and
costs and imprisonment for a term
of six months, so it would seem,
there is some encouragement for
people to tell the-truth.
All railroad, express and transportation companies must keep at each
local office a separate book and must
enter immediately statements of the
amount and kind of liquor received,
name and address of both consignor'
and consignee, the purpose for
which such liquor is to be used as
stated on tbe package, date of receipt and delivery and to whom delivered. The person receiving the
package must sign his name in the
book. No person (other than a
druggist) can store any liquor in any
place other than his private residence and any violation of this
makes the goods contraband and
liable to the .search and seizure laws
of tbe Btate.
Any agent or company which neglects or fails to comply with above
requirements is liable to the penalties above mentioned. This record
book is open to the public during
business hours and shall be admissible as evidence in any court in
this state.
For the, second and any snbsse-
quent offense, a person Violating the
provisions of this act is liable to'":*
fine of $1000 and imprisonment' at
Ionia for a term of two years. It is
said that' express companies ' and
railroads are inquiring of the stftV
authorities concerning, the provisions of this law and evidently propose to take no chances on its violation.
The people of Clare should not
lack for entertainments The Sutherland Stock Co. is hiijed tot every
evening nekt weekf and is evidently
a company of hustlers, judging by
the wW they are posting the tov?n.
