GITY SCHOOLS
Will Open Tuesday With Most
Ql Former Teachers,
Monday being a legal holiday, the
schools will not open tail Tuesday.
As we are informed, negotiations for
the basement of the Lutheran church
aire still pending a»a we can make
no announcement concerning some
thingB growing out of that' As w.e
are informed, unless outside room is
secured, few foreign pupils om he
admitted.- '
We deem it - especially fortunate
th*t a large majority of the old
teachers remain. They are acquainted with the pupils and with local
conditions and can do effective work
from the outset. Most of the force,
perhaps all, have received Normal
training and all have had more or
less experience in teaching.
It is to be regretted that sickness
in the family will prevent Mrs.
Mabel Smith, teacher of music and
drawing, from being here at the
opening. Her work was very satisfactory and it is hoped thaf she may
be able to come soon.
Supt. Poulson enters upon his
third year here after a goodly number or years of successful service
elsewhere. Besides his school room
work, Mr. Poulson has given ranch
attention to athletics, arousing a
genuine interest therein among the
pupils. With the cooperation of the
other teathers, he will put on an entertainment course the coming winter. He has labored courageously to
correct vicious outside conditions
and for tbis he deserves the thanks
and sympathy of all, especially parents. He has purchased a home
here and puts in odd moments repairing and improving this.
Miss Lulu Fisk, the efficient principal for the past two years, taught
the 8th Grade for three years previously. Besides being a superior instructor, she is especially strong in
discipline,-something of no little importance in that position.
Miss Winnifred Croel has been
teacher of English and history during the past two years and her work
has been very acceptable, With the
added experience, still better work
will be done next year.
Miss Alta Shimmell is the new
teacher of Latin and German. She
comes highly recommended and will
doubtless prove a worthy successor
to Miss Jungnitch.
Ove Olson is promoted from tbe
grades and will assist in tbe High
School next year.
The grade teachers areas follows:
8tbT Miss Hazel   Mater.
7th, Peter Oman.
6th, Miss Mabel Dyer.
5th, Miss Emma Sifton.
4th, Misa Anita Carr.
3rd, Miss Christine Tatman.
2nd, Miss Mabel Maxwell,
1st, Miss Catherine McConnell.
Winter Coming.
These cool nights would seem to
indicate that we shall have winter
•ometime if not sooner. That seems
to be the opinion of N. P. Geeck and
(Co. when they call attention to storm
doors and windows. They carry a
general line of building material.

STATE TAX
Will
Be   Much   Higher
Auditor General.
Says
According to reports from Lansing,
Auditor General Fuller predicts tbat
the state tax this year will be some
$3,500,000 more than ever before.
The state tax is always higher the
year following the session of tbe
legislature, but the above seems like
a pretty large boost.
Made To Measure.
Perhaps you like your clothes'
made to measure. Wm. H. Bicknell
announces that on Sept. 3 and 4 the
representative of a well known clothing house will be on band to greet
customers with no end of fabrics
from which to choose:, Remember
the dates.
Gone Home.
Reaching almost to the " century
mark, Grandma Sexsmith passed
peacefully away on Wednesday
ftlorniiig. A full sketch of her long
lite will appear next week. The funeral will be held from the Methodist-
church today (Friday) atl:30 oclocfc
Try a liner ifl our information .601*
ama,   It pays to advertise.
Perhaps some of the readers of the
Sentinel have wondered why no mention has appeared in the last two issues of the Sentinel in reference to
the street *<earnival" that held possession of a portion of the streets
last week. If we have any country
subscriber who missed this gr^at entertainment by reason of this omission and he feels an "aching void"
on account thereof* let him not hesitate an Instant to kick if he feels like
it, Tbe Sentinel is not* in the least
afraid of criticism, hut cordially invites it, We shalt be only too glad at
anytime to have our readers point
out any sins of omission or commission. We will promptly recede from
any position we may take the moment we are convinced that we are
wrong. We declined all advertising
of this concern and of course there is
no reason why we should give them
any free advertising. All newspapers
desire legitimate advertising—it is
their chief Bourco of revenue, but
there are some papers which do not
want some kinds of advertising.
We do not believe in these carnivals
but we have no quarrel with those
who differ from us. It is all a question of taste. As Mr. Lincoln was
wont to say, "If one likes that kind
ol thing, of course it is about tbe
kind of thing be would like." Our
notion was derived from a somewhat
extended observation in the past,
During the years we were a "knight
of the grip," we ran up against not
fewer than 25 of these aggregations
in tbis and other ^states. We took
particular pains to ascertain the
sentiment of people respecting them
and it was always the same story.
We are quite sure we can point out
several towns where the council
would be in some danger of being
mobbed should they tolerate such a
thing again. If it had been proposed
to locate any of this aggregation in
front of our office, we certainty
should have protested. As it was, we
have remained silent as we are very
sure some would have insisted that it
was a personal matter.
Neither do we believe in the doctrine that "tbe end justifies the
means." In common with all citizens
we are very proud of our park. We
have mailed many views of this to
friends. We shall ever be ready to
give credit to those who have done
much to make the park possible. If
it were legal for the council to do so
and they should appropriate S500 or
S1C00 for its improvement, .we would
pay our share of the tax without a
kick. But there are other things to
consider. The most valuable asset
of any town are its boys and girls
and we will never knowingly do anything to lower their moral tone, even
for bo laudable a purpose as to improve the park.
We dD not care to devote any space
to this particular carnival. We are
still from Missouri. "If any man
thinks tbe city has received a great
"moral uplift" from tbe past week's
experience, he is certainly entitled to
his opinion, but he must kindly excuse us from expressing any admiration for his judgment. As to the net
amount the park receives, we are not
informed and really it does not matter in our view of the case. The
more that is received the worse the
case stands. Were the park to re-
ceiye S100, that would mean we
judge that something like S600 or S7C6
was taken away. That would pay for
two magnificent courses of lectures
and to onr mind those would be quite
preferable to a carnival.
OAVIS-DOPP REUNION
Held At  Toledo  On    Sunday
August 24th.
.—,..— >
Almost every day we read in the
papers of two brothers meeting who
bad not seen .each other perhaps for
a quarter pf a century or more,
Families become widely scattered
and members rarely see each other.
It is certainly a fine thing to hold
family reunions and it would indeed
be well itthe custom were general.
Ohio has furnished a goodly number of enterprising settlers to Olare
county and amone tbem-* are several
representations of the Davis family.
Last year a few of them met and
formed an organization, laying plans
for an annual reunion. Taking advantage of the excursion to Toledo,
the meeting was held last Sunday at
Walbridge Park in tbat city with an
attendance of 40 or more. There
was no set program, the time being
occupied in visiting and we can well
believe .that the time was all too
short when many had not seen each
other for several years. A sumptuous, picnic dinner added to the
pleasures of tho occasion.
Among those in attendance were
D. N- Davis and family of Arthur, F.
P. Davis and family, Jessie Davis and
George Davis of Sheridan, Finley
Davis aud wife of Delpbos, Ohio;
Mrs. W, M. Toiles and family of Toledo; H. D. Krabill and family and
Wm. Dopp and family of Findley,
Ohio; Wm. Frump and sons of Ithaca
and Mrs. Hattie Lioyd of Oil City,
Penn.
Mrs. Wm. Dopps was elected president of the organization, D. N.
Davis vice president and H. Krabill
secretary—treasurer, Aprogram
committee consisting of Mrs, Toiles,
Mrs. Krabill and F. P. Davis was
chosen, It is designed to meet again
next year when doubtless a much
larger number will be in attendance.

Interesting Items from  Correspondent at County Capital,
NO MORE DAD CREAM
New Law In Reference Thereto
Now In Force.
A new law went into effect August
15th compelling all cream stations in
the state of Michigan to refuse to buy
over ripe, bad flavored or lumpy
cream.
Any cream found by the State
Dairy and Food Inspectors, to be in
their estimation unfit for the manufacture of food products, will be condemned and labeled With a red tag,
and any creamery found using con-
demmed cream will be subject to a
heavy fine. Therefore, the creameries in this state will necessarily cooperate in this movement, and by so
doing will be able to manufacture a
much higher grade of butter than
heretofore and will be able to pay
more for their raw material-
As the above law is being rigidly
enforced, and Dairy and Food Inspectors are making frequent arid
thorough inspections, it is believed
that any fair minded person having
Cream for sale, will deliver the same
before it reaches an undesirable age.
The Grand Bapids and Indiana R.

GREATEST EVER.
Michigan
Bean   Crop
This Year.
To   Be
„ According to predictions made by
the manager of the Saginaw Milling
Company's elevator who has been
investigating the matter, the bean
crop in this state is likely to be 30
per cent greater than last year and
considerably greater than ever before. The normal crop is about
5,000,000 bushels and it is thought
that it may be 8,000,000 bushels this
year.
Tbe hot weather has hastened the
ripening and it is thought new beans
will appear on^ the market in the
course of two weeks.

N. A. Perry of Gilmore has made
862.65 from one acre of cucumbers

expectation is that as much more

of cucumbers pay anything like tbis?
BACK FROM ALBERTA.
Chris Nass Is Spending a Few
Days Here.
v On Saturday Chris Nass returned
from far away Alberta, called here
by some business matters. He will
be here a short time, visiting also in
Upper Michigan before returning.
Mr. Nass does not seem to be specially "struck" on the great Canadian country and we suspect will be
a resident of Michigan before many
years. He has taken a homestead
but tbat does not mean he is likely
to make it a home for any extended
period. He has well drilling machinery and is sinking wells which
pays him better than carpenter work,
though that commands 85.00 per day.
The water anywhere near the surface is strongly alkali, so that wells
must be sunk to a considerable depth
to get water fife to drink. A well
usually costs from $400 to S500.
He says the Canadians are all praying for the passage of the Underwood tarrifl bill. Without giving up
anything, they expect to secure all
the advanges they would have obtained by President Taft's reciprocity
scheme under which they would
have been obliged to give something
in return.
RECOVERS HIS REASON
And   Concludes   Phil Sheridan
Sized It Up Right.
There comes to us from Saginaw a
brief note from one who but recently

Shakespeare:
"After twenty years of  residence in
Clare,
We thought too long we had lived
there;
So we moved out to Texas,
Where the insects did vex us,
So we simply return back to Clare."
Oan any body guess who this repentant pilgrim is?
