Albert J» McKinnon,
After an illness of three years,
Albert J. McKinnon passed quietly
away at his borne on west Seventh
Street Thursday, August 14 1913.
The deceased was bom October 9,
1862, in Halton county, Province of
Ontario, Canada, and came to this
country in 1890.
Iu 1884.be was united in marriage
with Misa Jennie Rowe of Vernon.
To this union was born one son, Dan
J. Mrs. McKinnon died in 1888 and
AugUBt 20, 1892 he married Miss
Martha Johnson of Rosebush. One
son, Kyle, was born to them.
For many years Mr. McKinnon was
a salesman for Farfand & Voty
Organ Co. and Gbase-Haokley-Car-
UslePfano Co, He was connected
for some time with the grocery firms
of. Pierce & McKinnon and Brown
& McKinnon, later taking over the
entire business, For the past few
years be baa managed his farm in
Vernon but was forced to sell this
and remove to Olare on account of
fast failing health.

Who Wouldn't?
With
We learn that the picnic held at
Alwood's grove on Wednesday was
the most largely attended of any in
the history of the organization. An
extended program of music, short
speeches and; recitations was carried
out. Two ball games were pulled off.
The Dover band ably assisted in tne
entertainment.
Mrs. Lottie J. Smith
Holds a Very Successful Meeting
On Monday.
Mrs. Wm. Murphy and F. Weatherhead were called away suddenly"'
last Saturday on account ot tbe serious illness ot tbeir father, H. W.
Hughes, who is receiving medical
treatment at Ann Arbor.
Wm. Hill is home from Flint, iH
with pneumonia.
Miss Young of Clare was the guest
of Miss Pauline Wyman the first of
the week.
Though threatening rain in the
morning, Monday proved to be a
very pleasant day for the farmers'
picnic. The attendance was very
fair^as we are informed, and the program ap published ably carried out.
The Rosebush quartette is strictly all
right and was liberally encored. Mr.
Irish recited in his inimitable style
and responded to an encore. A. P.
McDonald in his address of welcome
and Holmes Kennedy in response
justly exalted the farmer's calling,
and the farm as the foundation of all
prosperity
The address of Mr. Slocum as we
are informed. was largely a plea for
better cooperation on the part of
farmers and a protest against the alleged undue share of their profits
taken by the "middlemen".
Inventions have worked a complete revolution in every department
of life. Grave problems confront the
country and tanners must be prepared to help solve them. In the
opinion of Mr. Slocum farmers should
own their own elevators and handle
the large share of the farm products.
- Everyone was sohooked on Sunday
last to hear of the sudden death of
Mrs. Smith. While tbey may have
realized that she was naturally frail
yet they had no idea that she was so
near death's door,
Lottie J, Sober was born at Glen-
dora, Micb,, Feb. 5, 1888. Later the
family moved to Hartford from whose
High School she graduated, later attending the County Normal to fit herself for teaching, She taught two
terms and then became the wife of
AdelbertN. Smith Dec. 26,1911. In
may, 1912, she came with her father
to this'city her husband having proceeded her as an employer of the
Clare Oo. Savings Bank. She was a
member of tbe Rebekabs and Eastern
Stars and took an active interest in
society and church work here, more
indeed, pwhaps, than ber frail body
warranted.
Tho funeral was beld at Hartford
on Thursday and she was buried beside her motber. She is survived by
the father, one sister residing in
Oklahoma,"two brothers,'one living
ia Chicago the other in Three Rivers,
all of whom were at the funeral.
Mrs. Smith's sweet, womanly ways
bad erdeared ber to all whom she
met and she leaves a large, circle of
friends here who will sincerely regret her early dpath and whose sincere sympathy will be with tbe bereaved husband, father and family.
We have sometimes thought that a
man could accomplish moat any task
if he had the proper incentive. Ditto ball teams*
Others.have evidently shared the
same opinion, as the following account Confirms. The Stone School
at Saginaw has as principal, Emery
McLaughlin who received Mb. school*
ing here and at the Mt. Pleasant
Normal. The. school boasts a ba.se
ball team, of course, and there is
some rivalry for the grammar /school
championship of Saginaw.
What reward was tbis team to receive if they landed the pennant?
Nothing less than a watermelon feed
at the expense of the principal.
Of course they played off the series'
for the sake of formality and the
fetid is about to be' consummated,
But aB for a contest among the vari'
ous teams, there was in- reality no
contest, The championship was won
when Emery took down his hook on
psychology and dug out the receipt
referred to.

TEACHERS' MEETINGS.
Oomm'r Aldrich Announces For
August 29 and 30.
The attention of teachers is called
to tbe announcement of Commissioner Aldrich in tbis issue. Such meetings cannot fail to be of great interest and value to all. As Will be
seen by the topics announced for discussion, they are alt live ones and
full of practical interest. No teacher
can afford to miss such meetings.
Tbis year the fair will last five days
and tbe grounds will also be lighted
by electricity, so that on three of tbe
five daysjthere will be special evening features. On these evenings
Edna Larado's sensational flights
through flame and a grand display of
firs works wiil be the chief attraction.
The highest priced attraction this
year willfbe the two aeroplane flights
each day with thrilling parachute
dropB from the aeroplane while at an
extreme height in tbe air. There
will also be many new attractions.
The poultry exhibit will be more
complete than ever and tbe stock department of the Michigan Agricultural college will be represented as
usnal with their best stock.
The Northern District Fair at Cadillac is more than a county fair. It
ranks now with the fairs at Detroit
Grand Rapids and duplicates their
star attractions.
The dates this year are September
15,16, 17,18 and 19.
The Boston Bloomers
Next week Thursday tbe people of
Olare and vicinity will have an opportunity to see the favorite National

name, and is made up of first class
players.
The boyS on the Oity team promise
to put np the fight of their lives rather than be downed by the weaker sex
and a big crowd will doubtless be on
hand at Recreation Park to see the
fun.  Popular prices prevail.

Entertained Last Friday By Mrs.

to find.it a great treat to get out into

tastes. Several auto loads of ladies
wended, their way last Friday to the
hospitable home of Mr, and Mrs,
Joseph Hudson. We understand
that the epecial occasion was Mrs.
Hudson's birthday. It had been
planned to enjoy the picnic dinner in
the woods, but the threatening rain
caused the use'Of the house porch instead. However* that served the
purpose all right and no one came
away hungry. We presume air rej
gret that Mrs. Hudson does not have
a birthday oftener than once a year.

Was It Useless?
, Last week at a late hqnr we received om ot the jonsr drain notices appearing in this jsaue, with direction*.
to run in that isane. ItJ beoame-.-
necessary to pnt tbe whole force pV
that. When too late to put up any'
thing else, this order was countermanded, Thfs^will explain the absence of any oommenta on the examination held at the City|Hall*on UoA-
diy.
Nine men who it is alleged wero»
drunk on tbe proceeding Saturday
evening were subpoenaed under a,
statute designed to; acertain tho-
source whence the intoxicat-
i n g liquor was obtained. Ono-
claimed to iMve broughtj his from-
Toledo, *a second imported his fronv
Saginaw, all the rest obtained it by
tne prescription route, though ope
admitted tbat he fouijd (?) * a bottl© ,
in.the hay mow which supplemented
what he already had,
Tbe excuses offered for seeking a
prescription varied from "feeling-,
bad" to sun stroke. Two of the
seven declared tbat the doctor made
an examination as to their condition^
one declared tbat it was not necessary, one that no examination whatever was made and three were nofc
questioned at all on tbat point.
Now we have no idea of publishing:
the names of these men. No possible*
good could come from that and tbe
only motive we have in publishing^
anytbipg^eoncerning the matter te
tbe hope that some good may be*
done. And we are not thinking primarily of these men but of some saeSi
fathers, mothers and wives Who ares>
looking on into the future and wondering'; What will the harvest be?'3
It certainly does not need very much*
of a prophet to foretell what it ia.
likely to be. When a yonng man tikes*
the witness stand somewhat with ther
air of a hero to tell a story fcbao
should crimson his face with shame*
one realizes how far along the de~
.   ., p    , grading road  he has traveled.   Yet
of Alma arrived W8 W0Qld have  on]y t£e broadeBfe
charity for these men. Perhaps only
God knows how hard some of them
are struggling to break the chain*
tbat are dragging tbem down. Tbe
medical profession which should be>
tbeir friend is evidently made the
convenient means of dragging them
further down.
We do not agree with  those  who*
may think this examination useless*.
If any have not been  satisfied   bere-
to-fore of the utter humbuggery of
much of this  perscription  business,
eertainly this should have convinced
them.   If it did not, then they wou)65
not be convinced "though one rose
from the dead."   If any man thinks,
he believes tbat one can go to a doctor and simply tell bim that he "feels=
bad" and without  any  examination-
whatever receive a perscription for a
pint of whiskey with which he immediately proceeds to got drunk, if any
man we say thinks he believes snete
a  prescription   was   given   in  gooti>
faith fur medical purposes, ha should^
certainly have the profounriest sort;
of respect  for  the   little  boy  who-
thinks the  story of "Jack and the-
Bean   Stalk"   a veritable fact.    The
whole performance'does not rise to»
the dignity of a respectable farce,,,
and we are still firmly of the opinion
that no intellegent jury would need'
more than three   minutes   to  determine that fact.   There are very few*
people who do not  feel  bad  sometime, and the  patient or physicians
who has.not discovered that getting;
drunk is not the proper remedy tar ifc
has not progressed very far.
It is quite evident that our lasb.
legislature made a serious mistake ia
not radically amending the law relative to prescriptions. It needs no-
argument to show how sadly this ia
nteeded and that little oan be hoped;
in certain directions till this is dime*
