entry
in Its
Tbe greatest show
Saturday Nov. 29, not with a blare
of trumpets as all expositions are
supposed to open, but with tbe
tie neighs, mooings, bleats
grunts of fat contented horses, cattle,
sheep and bogs, which are ~"
tbe ears of the true
stock.
The 13th show waa pronounced the
best ever held but the 14th surpassed
it, not only in number of entries
which totaled 11,000 individual and
Car lot, but in superior quality and
better finish of the animals on -view.
From Saturday morning until "r~J
neaday afternoon tbe judges
kept busy determining which
should wear the blue ribbon
respective class, and as tbe competition was very keen, this task was
not an easy one.
From the large number of horses
entered in the coach, hackney, pony
and draft classes, it could be seen
that the auto or farm tractor has
not superseded and never can supersede the horse. The grand championship was awarded the entry of
J. Crouch & Son of Lafayette, Indiana, Idelfonse, a beautiful black
Percher on-stallion.
Greatest interest of course centered in the cattle division. Nature
and the guiding hand of man have
combined to produce some wonderful specimens of meat and breeding
animals; and on exhibit here were
several thousand examples of the
result of careful selection, breeding
and feeding. Angus and Herofords
predominated with hundreds of
Shorthorns, Red Poll, Galloways
and a few croBS breeds. The grand
championship of the car lot exhibits
was awarded Eschar and Ryan's
Angus yearlings. Glencarnock Victor II an almost perfect Angus steer
owned by J. T. McGregor of Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, was pronounced the best animal at the show.
This is the second Year in succession
Mr. McGregor's entry has been
awarded tbe grand championship.
It is interesting to note that this
animal was finished far from the
corn belt and had but little if any
corn to make him the finest steer
on exhibition. Michigan farmers
should not, therefore use the excuse
that they cannot produce fine stock
Because they are not in the corn belt.
It was seen too, that packers prefer yearlings or "baby beef" to 2
year olds, and the 3 year olds were
conspicuous by their scarcity.
Berkshires and Duroc Jerseys were
most numerous in the hog department with many fine animals of the
Yorkshire or "bacon breed" and of
the Poland Chinas on exhibit. Grand
championship in car lot entries was!
tendered some Burlington, KansaB,
Berkshires.
The careful and patient flockmas-
ters of England, Canada and the
States showed some hundreds of
fancy sheep. The results of breeding for mutton, for wool and for
both were here seen at their best.
The older breeds, as the Shropshire
Lincoln and Cheviot, were most
numerous but the comparatively
newer breeds, the J&omneys and Ex-
moore Horned sheep are here to
stay. From the number of entries
and their fine quality, sheep breeding
and feeding is certainly on the increase in this country. Grand
Championship in the fed car load
entries was given KnolliD and Finch
Soda Springs, Idaho, land of Shrop-
Dhire lambs.
All in all, the show is no longer,
©s ia its firBt few years, a money
ffiuiMng scheme iot a few brasdere,
bnt ia a valuable school ot instruction iot the practical farmer, proving
tso htm that by case and judgment
in breeding and feeding meat
animals can ba produced at a handsome profit aad that it pays to produce only the beat.

And American Dangers As Seen
By Some.
Some of the clergy of Grand Rapids are discussing the dangers that
seem to them to be threatening the
life of the republic; and the hopeful
thing is that the press of that oity
eeemB tp be in accord with the sentiments tbey advance and endorse
them. Dr. Bishop took up the discussion of anarchy and atheism and
on Thanksgiving day Dr. Wishart of
the Fountain St. Baptist church took
up a similar line of discussionand.de-
picted the fundamental need of leadership againBt materialistic wrongs
which fertilize the fields iu which the
prophets of unrest are working. The
Herald of that city cordially endorses
Dr. Wishart's address and remarks
that "what he says is uncompromisingly true." Among other things
Mr. Wishart says

"I hato strikes and sabotage, but I
also hate monopoly arid watered
stocks, he declared. I hate violence,
but I bate also legal trickery and selfish indifference to social misery. I
hate thelirreligion of some social reformers, but I hate also the coldblooded, dogmatic religion tbat substitutes pious phrases for social gospel.
When we consider the wealth and
social power of the christian citizens
of New York, can we escape the conclusion tbat these same citizens are
to blame for allowing the disgraceful
reign of crime and graft to exist in
that city? It is equally true of Ohicago and San Francisco. A rotten
political ring could not rule any
American city if the churches and
Christian business men were determined to establish and maintain a
pure and just government.
Every time a burning factory' destroys the lives of poor working girls
because through bribery'the building
laws were evaded, the enemies of
capital are increased. The wrecks
on the New York and New Haven
Railroad and the revelations of the
financial operations connected with
that system convince people that life
has been sacrificed on the altar "of
greed. That fosters anarchism.
Every year multitudes go to an untimely grave from preventable diseases. Every year little children
are ruined in body and soul through
factory work. Every year there is
the shameful record of municipal
graft exposures. Every year the
burden of the world's war
debts grows heavier and heavier. There are improvements to be
set over against these evils, nevertheless, it is these evils to a large
extent unnecessary, that give birth
to lawless agitation and reckless hatred of the social order. That is the
point to remember.
So, while it it is a costly mistake
for social reformers to line up against
God it is an equal, if not greater mistake, for those who profess to believe
in God to live on a sordid, materialistic plane, even though it be a plane
of fashionable existence. A religious
parasite, who never lifts his hand to
make his city a nobler, better city,
who never denounces a Bocial wrong,
or fights a single unselfish battle, is
a graver peril to our social peace
than an avowed rebel against the
social order."
loyalty, faith and love
treasures of the soul, the symbols of eternal youth. Something to eat, drink and wear is
worth while, but something to
give, a smile, a thank you, a
good morning, a hearty
shake, is worth more
hungry soul.
When the Christ spirit shall
reign in tbe hearts of men, the
kingdom of heaven will have
come. We need to be born-
again this Christmas and at
every other Christmas that
shall come to us, born into an
appreciation of love's solution
of all human problems.
Let all the children of men
rejoice in the .matchless gift to
the world of this day.

Doris G. Capen.
At the home of his grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. H, B. Tingley, where
his mother resides, Doris died on
Sunday last, December 7th, from
appendicitis. He -was sick but a
comparatively short time- and his
death is of course a great shock to
all.
The funeral, conducted by Rev. Lyford, was held from the house on
Tuesday, the body being taken to
Shepherd for burial. A large number of'sympathizing frfends accompanied the relatives to the depot on
their departure.
A movement is on foot to secure a
condensary here and the project
seems quite likely to succeed, as we
are informed. Aldermen Lamoreaux
and Hubel are working actively to
secure this enterprise and they will
be glad to meet any farmers and explain the matter in detail. They are
in communication with Bert Parsons
of New York, an old friend of Aid.
Lamoreaux and who is vice president
of the company operating several
such factories. As we understand it,
Mr. ParBons is favorably impressed
with the outlook for such an enterprise here and will certainly establish one if the requiste conditions are
complied with. There must be
pledged the milk from 5000 cows
within a radius of 8 miles, and to
secure the pledge of these is one of
the necessary perliminary steps.
Suitable blanks have been prepared
and. will be placed at the various business places for the convenience of
farmers.
As we are informed the building of
the Olare furnace Co. can be had for
this purpose. The factory would employ about 30 men and 20 women
about the factory, saying nothing
about men and teams engaged in
.hauling milk.
It is claimed that the profits to
farmers are considerably more than
in the production of cream. The
price paid for milk during the winter
is SI 80 per 100 and a test of 3 is all
that Is demanded. Whether the condensary at Howell has been one of
the causes for tbe extensive breeding
of Holsteins, or rather the greater
number of these cattle tended to
bring the condensary, we do not
know. Ab a sample of how the matter works, we are informed that one
man there started three years ago
with 7 heifers Costing Sl25 apiece.
Last spring he had 18 registered cows
and 16 heifers for wtiion be had been
offered S2000.

fertility of the farm can be

laat consideration would seem .to be

moved with his people to the farm in
Vernon where the greater part of bis
life was spent
In July John received injuries
which made it necessary for an operation to be performed on his hip.
Accompanied by his brothers, he entered a Saginaw hospital to have this
done, but the shock was too great,
at 6:18 Friday evening, November
28, 1913, he passed away.
For months a sufferer, he never
murmured. With his cheerful, happy
disposition, he bore his burden, trying to the last to make it seem easy
to those who loved him and grieved
at his condition. A dislocated hip
made him a cripple and it was bis
last wish that it should be replaced,
The funeral was held Dec. 2nd from
Saintf Henry's church, Vernon, of
which he was a lifelong member.
He was laid to rest beside his father
and sisters in Mt. Calvary cemetery,
Mt. Pleasant. The large funeral and
beautiful floral offerings attested the

held.
Besides a mother, deceased is survived by three brothers, Frank, Harper and James at home and a sister,

Never before, seemingly, have sueb1
preparations been made by the mor^
chants of Clare for taking care of
Holiday trade as this year, Goods
have been arriving for weeks and
are now unpacked ready for inspection. The show windows are rapidly
taking on their Christmas decorations. "Clerks and employers alike
are beginning to imbibe tbe Holiday
'spirit, as the time of greatest joy
and good cheer approaches. ; \
Elaborate decorations, ib keeping
with the season, are being arranged
in all tbe larger stores, and these
alone are worth coming some distance to see. The Wilson-Davy Co.
store presents a very attractive appearance, four pure white pillars,
surmounted with a network design of
the same color, have been grouped
along the ledge at the right as one
enters, and holly is twined in delicate
natural lines over all. Between" the
pillars, fabrics of various colors present a delightful contrast, and in the
centre appears a "Merry Christmas
and Happv New Year" greeting to
all visitors. The decorations here
are in charge of Grover Pierce, the
regular trimmer.
At the Wm. H. Bicknell store an
adaptation of Italian garden architecture has "been made for interior
exhibit?, an elaborate floral display
adding to its beauty and effectiveness. A massive double arch appears
at the entrance, a lattice-work design
of green trimmed with great poin-
zattia sprays, and with clusters '.of
holly vines trailing up the outer
edges, giving it tbe appearance of a
veritable garden of loveliness,, A
series of pergolas lead up the centre
aisle, each having a lattice canopy
containing a pot of palms and' showers of poinsettias;. The posts at either side are capped with atriangular
design holdjng an Old English lamp
at each end. The work was done by
Ralph Thompson, who looks after
tbat feature of tbe business. The
use of the poitisettia, the state floWer
of California, is most appropriate at
this time, the season which sees it in
full bloom in its na-ive home.
At numerous otb«r stores, pretty
displays have been made, toys and
good things for the children being in
evidence everywhere. Ubiquitous,
Santa himself appears atone or two
places.
Those who wish to purchase Holi-
dsv gifts for friends or relatives at a
distance will not be disappointed, as
the stores are overflowing with articles especially convenient for mailing, and with the parcel post mips in
effect, the cost of sending ordinary
packages a limited distance is almost
nothing. If your purchase is to be
sent through the mails, it is is well to
ask the clerk from whom you buy,
that it be wrapped extra Becurely3
Then write with ink the name and
address of the person for whom it is
intended, also your own name an.d
address with the word "From," and
Uncle Sain will tell you how much
postage it requires. Parcels should
be mailed several days before Christ*
mas to avoid the final rush. Handsome tags or stickers can be secured
containing the words "Not to be
opened until Christmas."

From the large number of horses entered in the coach, hackney, pony and draft classes, it could be seen that the auto or farm tractor has not superseded and never can supersede the horse. The grand championship was awarded the entry of J. Crouch & Son of Lafayette, Indiana, Idelfonse, a beautiful black Percher on-stallion. Greatest interest of course centered in the cattle division. Nature and the guiding hand of man have combined to produce some wonderful specimens of meat and breeding animals; and on exhibit here were several thousand examples of the result of careful selection, breeding and feeding. Angus and Herofords predominated with hundreds of Shorthorns, Red Poll, Galloways and a few croBS breeds. The grand championship of the car lot exhibits was awarded Eschar and Ryan's Angus yearlings. Glencarnock Victor II an almost perfect Angus steer owned by J. T. McGregor of Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, was pronounced the best animal at the show. This is the second Year in succession Mr. McGregor's entry has been awarded tbe grand championship. It is interesting to note that this animal was finished far from the corn belt and had but little if any corn to make him the finest steer on exhibition. Michigan farmers should not, therefore use the excuse that they cannot produce fine stock Because they are not in the corn belt. It was seen too, that packers prefer yearlings or "baby beef" to 2 year olds, and the 3 year olds were conspicuous by their scarcity. Berkshires and Duroc Jerseys were most numerous in the hog department with many fine animals of the Yorkshire or "bacon breed" and of the Poland Chinas on exhibit. Grand championship in car lot entries was! tendered some Burlington, KansaB, Berkshires. The careful and patient flockmas- ters of England, Canada and the States showed some hundreds of fancy sheep. The results of breeding for mutton, for wool and for both were here seen at their best. The older breeds, as the Shropshire Lincoln and Cheviot, were most numerous but the comparatively newer breeds, the J&omneys and Ex- moore Horned sheep are here to stay. From the number of entries and their fine quality, sheep breeding and feeding is certainly on the increase in this country. Grand Championship in the fed car load entries was given KnolliD and Finch Soda Springs, Idaho, land of Shrop- Dhire lambs. All in all, the show is no longer, ©s ia its firBt few years, a money ffiuiMng scheme iot a few brasdere, bnt ia a valuable school ot instruction iot the practical farmer, proving tso htm that by case and judgment in breeding and feeding meat animals can ba produced at a handsome profit aad that it pays to produce only the beat.

Some of the clergy of Grand Rapids are discussing the dangers that seem to them to be threatening the life of the republic; and the hopeful thing is that the press of that oity eeemB tp be in accord with the sentiments tbey advance and endorse them. Dr. Bishop took up the discussion of anarchy and atheism and on Thanksgiving day Dr. Wishart of the Fountain St. Baptist church took up a similar line of discussionand.de- picted the fundamental need of leadership againBt materialistic wrongs which fertilize the fields iu which the prophets of unrest are working. The Herald of that city cordially endorses Dr. Wishart's address and remarks that "what he says is uncompromisingly true." Among other things Mr. Wishart says 1 Christmas Greeting. % Of all the days we long for, * birthdays, wedding days, gala // days, one day looms up brighter er and more glorious than 'all the others—Christmas. This is the*day that makes sweet music in the hearts of children, in the hearts of youth, in service. It is a day of gladness made beautiful in giving.

We have now a a new set of books which increases our library to a total number of about one-hundred and forty-seven volumes. Merle Wilt, Blake Marlin and Fred Wahl were visitors Monday afternoon. The Grammar room entertained the primary room Tuesday morning. Miss Elizabeth Marlin has been absent several days on account of the serious illness of her uncle. The pupils neither absent or tardy during the fall term are: Eddie Reid Edna Roe, Deborah Marlin, Verna FroBt, Otis Leichte, Marjorie Lansing and Beulah Lamphere, Percentage of attendance in primary room for fall term is eighty-eight plus, in grammar room eighty-six plus. The pupils having the highest average standing for fall term in each of the grades are the following: 5th grade, Adolph Herrmann; 6th grade Marjorie Lansing; 7th grade, Blanche Roe; 8th grade, Mildred Marlin.

"I hato strikes and sabotage, but I also hate monopoly arid watered stocks, he declared. I hate violence, but I bate also legal trickery and selfish indifference to social misery. I hate thelirreligion of some social reformers, but I hate also the coldblooded, dogmatic religion tbat substitutes pious phrases for social gospel. When we consider the wealth and social power of the christian citizens of New York, can we escape the conclusion tbat these same citizens are to blame for allowing the disgraceful reign of crime and graft to exist in that city? It is equally true of Ohicago and San Francisco. A rotten political ring could not rule any American city if the churches and Christian business men were determined to establish and maintain a pure and just government. Every time a burning factory' destroys the lives of poor working girls because through bribery'the building laws were evaded, the enemies of capital are increased. The wrecks on the New York and New Haven Railroad and the revelations of the financial operations connected with that system convince people that life has been sacrificed on the altar "of greed. That fosters anarchism. Every year multitudes go to an untimely grave from preventable diseases. Every year little children are ruined in body and soul through factory work. Every year there is the shameful record of municipal graft exposures. Every year the burden of the world's war debts grows heavier and heavier. There are improvements to be set over against these evils, nevertheless, it is these evils to a large extent unnecessary, that give birth to lawless agitation and reckless hatred of the social order. That is the point to remember. So, while it it is a costly mistake for social reformers to line up against God it is an equal, if not greater mistake, for those who profess to believe in God to live on a sordid, materialistic plane, even though it be a plane of fashionable existence. A religious parasite, who never lifts his hand to make his city a nobler, better city, who never denounces a Bocial wrong, or fights a single unselfish battle, is a graver peril to our social peace than an avowed rebel against the social order." loyalty, faith and love treasures of the soul, the symbols of eternal youth. Something to eat, drink and wear is worth while, but something to give, a smile, a thank you, a good morning, a hearty shake, is worth more hungry soul. When the Christ spirit shall reign in tbe hearts of men, the kingdom of heaven will have come. We need to be born- again this Christmas and at every other Christmas that shall come to us, born into an appreciation of love's solution of all human problems. Let all the children of men rejoice in the .matchless gift to the world of this day.

At the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. H, B. Tingley, where his mother resides, Doris died on Sunday last, December 7th, from appendicitis. He -was sick but a comparatively short time- and his death is of course a great shock to all. The funeral, conducted by Rev. Lyford, was held from the house on Tuesday, the body being taken to Shepherd for burial. A large number of'sympathizing frfends accompanied the relatives to the depot on their departure. A movement is on foot to secure a condensary here and the project seems quite likely to succeed, as we are informed. Aldermen Lamoreaux and Hubel are working actively to secure this enterprise and they will be glad to meet any farmers and explain the matter in detail. They are in communication with Bert Parsons of New York, an old friend of Aid. Lamoreaux and who is vice president of the company operating several such factories. As we understand it, Mr. ParBons is favorably impressed with the outlook for such an enterprise here and will certainly establish one if the requiste conditions are complied with. There must be pledged the milk from 5000 cows within a radius of 8 miles, and to secure the pledge of these is one of the necessary perliminary steps. Suitable blanks have been prepared and. will be placed at the various business places for the convenience of farmers. As we are informed the building of the Olare furnace Co. can be had for this purpose. The factory would employ about 30 men and 20 women about the factory, saying nothing about men and teams engaged in .hauling milk. It is claimed that the profits to farmers are considerably more than in the production of cream. The price paid for milk during the winter is SI 80 per 100 and a test of 3 is all that Is demanded. Whether the condensary at Howell has been one of the causes for tbe extensive breeding of Holsteins, or rather the greater number of these cattle tended to bring the condensary, we do not know. Ab a sample of how the matter works, we are informed that one man there started three years ago with 7 heifers Costing Sl25 apiece. Last spring he had 18 registered cows and 16 heifers for wtiion be had been offered S2000.

Accompanied by his brothers, he entered a Saginaw hospital to have this done, but the shock was too great, at 6:18 Friday evening, November 28, 1913, he passed away. For months a sufferer, he never murmured. With his cheerful, happy disposition, he bore his burden, trying to the last to make it seem easy to those who loved him and grieved at his condition. A dislocated hip made him a cripple and it was bis last wish that it should be replaced, The funeral was held Dec. 2nd from Saintf Henry's church, Vernon, of which he was a lifelong member. He was laid to rest beside his father and sisters in Mt. Calvary cemetery, Mt. Pleasant. The large funeral and beautiful floral offerings attested the high regard in which deceased was held.

The class in second year German has completed the reading of "Die Braune Erica" and is now writing dramatizations of the sceues of action. The Cicero class have, finished the second oration against Cataline. The beginning Latin class is taking up the formation of the perfect tense. The Chemistry class made ammonia Wednesday. You should have seen them weep. Thursday the class will study Jhe oxides of nitrogen and make nitric acid. Chemistry is an interesting subject, eBpecialy for the girls. Irene Allen finds that hot glass burns. Gertrude Howard has found a new test for Ammonia gas—breathe deeply of it. The eighth grade have nearly completed the History of United States. This will give them plenty of time for reviews before the beginning of the second semester. Several interesting letters have beer^received, by some of the pupils of the eighth grade, from Helen LaPierre who recently went with her parents to California. The children in the second grade are preparing star booklets for Christmas for their language work. The first and second grades will unite with their Christmas exercises next Friday afternoon Dec. 19, 1913 Invitations will be made and written by the children and taken to the parents. • Basket ball practice commences Friday evening in Davis' hew building on Fourth Street. The Glee Club, composed of the Seventh and Eighth grade girls of the Clare Hign School, met at Mrs. Smith's. An enjoyable fime.is re ported by all Never before, seemingly, have sueb1 preparations been made by the mor^ chants of Clare for taking care of Holiday trade as this year, Goods have been arriving for weeks and are now unpacked ready for inspection. The show windows are rapidly taking on their Christmas decorations. "Clerks and employers alike are beginning to imbibe tbe Holiday 'spirit, as the time of greatest joy and good cheer approaches. ; \ Elaborate decorations, ib keeping with the season, are being arranged in all tbe larger stores, and these alone are worth coming some distance to see. The Wilson-Davy Co. store presents a very attractive appearance, four pure white pillars, surmounted with a network design of the same color, have been grouped along the ledge at the right as one enters, and holly is twined in delicate natural lines over all. Between" the pillars, fabrics of various colors present a delightful contrast, and in the centre appears a "Merry Christmas and Happv New Year" greeting to all visitors. The decorations here are in charge of Grover Pierce, the regular trimmer. At the Wm. H. Bicknell store an adaptation of Italian garden architecture has "been made for interior exhibit?, an elaborate floral display adding to its beauty and effectiveness. A massive double arch appears at the entrance, a lattice-work design of green trimmed with great poin- zattia sprays, and with clusters '.of holly vines trailing up the outer edges, giving it tbe appearance of a veritable garden of loveliness,, A series of pergolas lead up the centre aisle, each having a lattice canopy containing a pot of palms and' showers of poinsettias;. The posts at either side are capped with atriangular design holdjng an Old English lamp at each end. The work was done by Ralph Thompson, who looks after tbat feature of tbe business. The use of the poitisettia, the state floWer of California, is most appropriate at this time, the season which sees it in full bloom in its na-ive home. At numerous otb«r stores, pretty displays have been made, toys and good things for the children being in evidence everywhere. Ubiquitous, Santa himself appears atone or two places. Those who wish to purchase Holi- dsv gifts for friends or relatives at a distance will not be disappointed, as the stores are overflowing with articles especially convenient for mailing, and with the parcel post mips in effect, the cost of sending ordinary packages a limited distance is almost nothing. If your purchase is to be sent through the mails, it is is well to ask the clerk from whom you buy, that it be wrapped extra Becurely3 Then write with ink the name and address of the person for whom it is intended, also your own name an.d address with the word "From" and Uncle Sain will tell you how much postage it requires.
