IG RESULTS
Being Secured Through Our
Information Column,
STEWllTiOWINB
Farmers   Jwst    Beginning   To
Realize Its Value.
We are glad to know that our gen*
mt&X information column, which
appears each week on the last page
Of the Sentinel, is coming to bft recognised as one of the most .important parts of tbe paper.
There is no way, we believe, in which
snob big results oan be secured for
■o little, outlay. Not only can live
atock, farm machinery, tools, household goods, and miscellaneous small
articles of all kinds be readily bought
or sold when listed in this column,
but real estate of all kinds is continually changing hands as the result of
being advertised there. No stronger
proof is needed that such a plan pays
than the fact that more farms and
city property are being listed now
than ever before.
An information column can be successful only in a paper ot large circulation, such as the Sentinel enjoys,
as a "want" of any kind is almost
certain to be of' interest to several
persons at least, out of the large
number of subscribers, A paper of
small <jireulation can be of only limited value to au advertiser on this
account.
The rates for this column are five
cents per line, payable in advance.
But in order to do any share in mak-
ingtbis column of still greater service
we will accept liners by telephone
from rural subscribers only, payment
to be made in every case witbln
thirty days. Most of our farmer
friends come to town on Saturday,
and find it convenient to call at tho
Sentinel  Office  then,
Liners can be received up to Thursday forenoon for the issue of tbat
week.
There ought to be enough of these
pouring in to fill two columns each
week.

done
I believe in speakingikindly
Unto every one I meet,
I believe in cheering winners
'Cause it makes their victories
sweet.
But I keep my loudest praises
Fojr the youngster at his post
Who is trying hard to conquer,
He's the chap who needs 'em
most,
I believe in giving credit
To the chap who is on top
And I boost tbe" man who's
things.
But I much prefer to stop
By the wayside where  a   youngster
Is engaged in conflict grim
Just to boost the work he's doing,
For it means so much to him,
I'm not eager for the limelight
Of a brother who's arrived;
Though I would not stint my praising
Of the way in which he's £strived;
I would rathe? seek the shadows
Where an unknown toiler stays
Fighting bard to make a record
And encourage hitn with praise.
You may spend your cheers on winners
Laud the victors if you will,
But I'll cheer the manly youngsters
Who are struggling up the hili.
I'm for those upon the up-grade •
Not for thdse who now may coast;
For the boys who still are trying
Need our cheerful words the  most.

TEMPERENGE ADDRESS
At the Congregational Church
Last Week Interesting.
The address of Wm. A. Brubaker
at the Congregational church on
Thursday evening of last weak
was attended by only a very moderate sized audience. It was worthy
of a much better one. He threw
upon the screen a considerable number of tables Bhowing some rather
Startlingfacts in the great increase of
consumption of alcoholic beverages
and about an even increase in crime
and insanity. He concludes tnat Dr.
Kellogg as quite rignt in declaring
tbat should tbe matter go on at tbe
same ratio for SOO years, we would be
a nation of lunatics.
Mr. Brubaker, contends that the
•nly solution of the problem is to
stop the manufacture of alcoholic
beverages and that can only be accomplished by a party specially
pledged to that object, the usnal
argument of the political prohibition*
1st. He insisted that we have no
"dry" territory because liquor can
be shipped in. It seems to us that
this is an exceedingly unfair way of
putting the matter. Any man of
ordinary intelligence knows that
conditions are a thousandfold better
in the dry counties than those cursed
with the open saloon. It would be
about as sensible to insist that there
was no honesty or morality in a certain community because every ono
*Was not honest and moral.
The lecture closed with a brief bis-
tory'of the Panama Canal, accompanied toy a considerable number of
Views of the various features of this
great ehterprise.

And Entertainment to be Given
By Herrick Schools.
An agricultural exhibit and school
fair will be held at tbe Herrick
school house Friday afternoon and
evening, September 26,* under the
management of the teachers and
pupils of tbe school. Those living
in the district are especially invited
to send fruit, grain, vegetables,
flowers, canned goods, etc., but exhibits from any one out side of the
district will be gladly received,
Besides the exhibit there will be
some side attractions by the children
to add to the interest of the occasion.
If possible good music will be furnished. ,
There will be no admission fee,
but ice cream, pop corn and other
knick-knacks will be sold, tbe proceeds to go toward buying a compound microscope for the science
work in. the ninth grade. AU exhibits should be at the school house
by noon if possible.
The teachers of the Herrick school
are entitled to much credit for this
attempt and we trust th© people of
the district will give them the most
cordial support. The* law now ra:
quires the teaching of agriculture in
schools, and this exhibit is right in
line with this idea. We trust the
attempt may be a great success as
we feel sure it will be.

Lightning Strikes Farmhouse.
During the severe, electrical storm
which passed through here Sunday
evening the farmhouse of W. J,
Holmes of Clare but occupied now by
Mr. and Mrs, Cbas. Harding was
struck by lightning and badly
wrecked. The lightning entered by
the way of the chimney and spread
over the entire house, there being
only one room in which it did no
damage. ■ The roof was partially torn
off, chimney demolished, rafters
splintered, plaster torn off in a great
many places and things were torn np
in general. Fortunately the occupants were but slightly shocked.—
Greenwood correspondent of Cleaver.
„   - Sheriff Sale.
Owing chiefly to the fact t|iat the
farmers of this vicinity were Tight in
the midst of their bean harvest,
with other, fall work coming close
behind, the attendance at; the three
day race meeting last week was not
as large as expected, Some were
present from Farweli, Bosebush and
Mt. Pleasant, fcnfc the country people,
who go to make up the bulk of such
a crowd on ordinary occasions, were
conspicnonsly absent.
Thfl track was in good condition,
and quite a collection of fast horses
was on hand, but even the several
close finishes lacked that touch of
hushed excitement which is always
present when the stand ia packed,
and the fences crowded with people.
We are informed that the meet was
about an even thing financially, but
what move may be made to use the
grounds for this purpose another
season remains to be seen. The situation loolss rather unpromising at
best.
Probably the most interesting event
was the Novelty Race on Thursday,
which was won by Paul Nass with
ease, the nearest competitor being
almost distanced.
Many were disappointed at not
seeing Clare Boy, Mayor Cola's fast
grey horse in action, lameness making it necessary for him to be drawn
from the races in which he was entered.

A ball game between Clare and
Wise was staered Friday forenoon af
10:00 o'clock, but on account of the
short notice, and from the fact that
races came soon after dinner, only a
handful of people were present.
The score of 15 to 2 in favor of
Wise indicates tbat there was something wrong, and there was. In fact,
each player seemed to fear that he
would be cheated out ot his place in
the error column. So when tbe bail
came his way, he promptly dropped
it or stood mute and let the ball roll
under or over him. Hutehins started
the game and was hit quite liberally.
White, who took his place, was
treated almost as shabbily by the
farmers. Wright, a visiting brother,
consented to twirl the last two* in-
nings, and prevented more of the
terrible slaughter.
The Isabella Co. fair had over 1400
paid admissions. Mayor Deuel announces that a plan is under consideration of assessing each member
810.00 to erect buildings, etc.
As an illustration of the unusual
havoc lightning has wrought this
season, officials ' of the Clinton*
Gratiot Mutual Insurance Co. announce an assessment of $4.20 per
SlOOO. The greatest loss by lightning
in the two counties in any one year
heretofore bas been 7 buildings,
While this ytar 25 barn& and one
house have been burnt, besides hundred of minor losses from injuries to
buildings and stock killed.
According to tbe patrol employed
by the Micb. Hardwood Mannfac*
turers Association, Wexford Oo. has
Still 30,000 acres of standing timber.
Enough is owned by Cadillac parties
to keep mills there running for 20
years. This patrol visits the timber
every day during the dry season, to
guard against forest fires.

We have received from Fred Stanley at Danbury Texas,, a letter tbat
we would gladly publish entire but
find it necessary to condense. Mr.
Stanley says he has reason to believe
that reports have reached here that
be is anxious to sell bis interests
there at any old price and that such
is not the fact at all. . They like the
country very much. The climate is
fine, 98 degrees being thte highest
temperature and that tempered by a
nice breeze from tbe Gulf. . As to
winter, 1% cords of wood sufficed for
the last one and that be thinks is
better than shoveling snow and
carrying wood and cOal here.
Mr. Stanley says he has his winter
garden planted, beans, radishes,
lettuce, peasr potatoes, etc., and all
are looking fine. People coming
there must remember tbat tbe country is new and not expect conditions
such as are found in an old country.
Five years ago there was less than
ten acres in cultivation near Danbury. This year there is Bome 1500
and be predicts -that next year there
will be 5000 acres. Two of the most
profitable crops are figs and strawberries. FigB sell at S4 per hundred,
cotton 13 cents a pound and oorn 75
cents a bushel.
Mr. Stanley feels sure that anyone
afflicted with asthma or rheumatism
will fiDd the climate unexcelled and
that he will gladly answer any questions.

Many of our people have been delighted with the nonsense which appears in jbbe Detroit and other dailr
papers under the name of Roy £.
Moulton. Bnt if anyone bas gained-
the idea that he writes nothing bnt
foolishness let him read the following poem from bis pen,

And he was wondrous wise;     .
He knew just how   and   when   and
Where »     . '
To go to advertise.       »
He didn't seek the country fence    ,
And cover it witb signs
To tempt the sturd v rurajiie
By telling of his lines,
He didn't scatter dodgers 'round, "
The bind that blow away
Before the folks have time to read
What he desired to say.
He went to see the editor
And bought a Jot of space,
His ad went to the women folks
And that's the proper place.

(Paper Read at tbe Mother's Meeting
of W. 0- T. U. at Clare, Mich., September 12, 1913.)
It is unfortunate in tbis day and
age th. t women generally do not
more thoroughly understand the objects collectively of the W. C. T. IT.
Most of us I think imagine it Ib
purely a temperance movement, and
were that the only object it would be
worth at least a small portion of any
good woman'stime and thought; bnt
while in times' past, th& W. C. T. U.
has made great strides toward putting down tbe liquor traffic and does
still, yet that is only one of many departments in onr work.
We believe that God created both
man and woman in his own image
and therefore we believe in one
standard of purity for both, and ja
the equal right to hold opinions* and
to express them with equal freedom.
Education is one of onr prime objects, not alone in the three R'e,
"Readin, Ritin and Rithmetic" but
we believe a child's education should
and does begin before birth, and
whether this be for good or ill, depends very mnoh upon the character
and environments of tbe motber.
How important then that the mothers
of our land be well educated along all
reasonable practical lines of living.
It is a very common saying with us
Americans that wherever we find a
great man, we also find tbat man's
mother to be a wonderful woman or
words to that effect.
Carlyle once said of his mother.—
"My motber did me invalualuable
services She taught me less indeed
by word than by act and daily reverent attitude her own simple version
of the Christian faith."
We hear a great deal about environment until it seems to go in at
one ear and out at the other, as the
phrase runs, yet there'B no getting
round the fact that environment has
more to do, than much teaching,
with the lives and characters of
many children who eventually become a part of our great commonwealth and have a very material
hand in the shaping and changing of
our state and nation,
There are so many lines along
which we might direct our thoughts,
did time permit, regarding tbe -retention of mother and child in the general education of the latter, that it
almost seems each thought in turn ie
crowded out by the next one coming
after. 4
If we have children in onr care, we
believe it is onr absolute duty to do
onr.very best by them and that nothing less will he accepted aa reasonable service by the Heavenly Fathep,
and to whom else should we look for
approbation?
