CLARE, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 26, 1913
New Series: Vol. 22 No* T
The Basket Ball season opened
last Friday evening with added glory
to our arms, as Napoleon would say.
In other words, it was a successful
opening, both as to score and attendance.
The new building of fche Michigan
Produce Co. which Is to be used for
the present, at least, makes a fine
place for this game, only |about two-
thirds of its length being required
for the players, while the balance is
reserved for the spectators. And
spectators there were in abundance,
numbering not far from two hundred
doubtless,. This iB an encoumging
feature, as the attendance last year
was rather limited, especially in the
early part of the season, the game
being, however,- comparatively new
new in Olare,
Enthusiasm was displayed on every
excusable occasion. Horns and
other noise-making devices supplemented tbe human vocal organs in
effective fashion. And the home
folks had good- cause to feel cheerful,
as the lads, and lasses too, romped
away with the first money in what
looked like championship style.
The "scrubs" had a preliminary
bout with the 0. J. 0. team while the
slow end of the crowd was arriving,
. the former winning 14 to 8.- Tben
the girls came on for their first half,
and here it was soon evident that the
•visitors were outclassed, as they were
tmable to locate the basket on their
t&w trials, while 16 was- the count for
v Olare. The boys also showed their
calibre by outplaying their opponents on almost every move.
In justice to the athletes from
Evart, it should be explained that
this is their first year of basket ball,
po we are informed, and the lack of
experience no doubt explains largely
their failure to make it an even con-
teat. .They certainly did not lack in
fighting qualities, and were in the
game from first minute to last.
The second halves looked much
better for the losing teams, the boys
in particular seeming to solve the
•'question of how to get hold of the
A '* ball successfully. The final scores
and the home lineup follow.

Christmas Carol.
This is the happy Ohristmas-tide,
a. When all'tbe world with joy should
sing;
This iB the day the Christ was born
Who is our Savior, Lord and King.
We hear the story o'er and o'er,
The same old song year after year;
Yet 'tis sweetest of all tbe lore
That ever mortal man may hear.
How the great wise men of the East
Saw the Star o'er Judea's plain;
There in the manger found the babe
Who o'er Heaven and earth should
reignr
Yes, this thought is ever new,
Hearts that are warm with love re-
. peat,
Hail! all hail! unto Him who reigns
Hail! while we sing the carol sweet.
This is a song for ricb and poor,
Old and young, for happy and sad;
All may join in one long"swpet strain
Making the whole wide world be
glad.
—Mrs. Frank Lamoreaux.
CHRISTMAS EXERCISES
Held in
Our Public
On Friday.
Schools
REBEKAHS CELEBRATE
With Christmas Tree Last Tuesday Evening.
As the members of the Rebekah
lodge gathered in their hall Tuesday
night, they were surprised to find
that Santa Olaus has been there first
and had left a fine Christmas tree
decorated in fine style and loaded
with gifts, such as sacks of pop corn,
post cards, candy and the like.
All of those present were remembered with a present of some kind.
A program was also given consisting
of songs, recitations and readings.
Naturally, a most enjoyable time was
the result of tbe gathering.
Business Change.
We regret that we were unable to
set the school items of last week In
which announcement was made of
exeroises to be held.. One of these
announcements was striking and
perhaps out of the usual order. It
stated that each pupil of the seventh
grade was going to give some other
pupil a Ohristmas present. Certainly
that was a fine idea and' worthy of
commendation.
Exercises appropriate to the season
were in the High School and most of
the grades on Friday afternoon before closing for the holidays; The
1st and 2nd gradeunited in their exercises, as did the 4th and 6th, each
having 'a Ohristmas tree. The 3d
grade also had a tree with the due
appearance of Santa. The 5th grade
had a Ohristmas party with recitations and refreshments.
In the High School the Literary
Society entertained with music and
recitations several of the latter manifesting a high order of talent. Al-
vera Hains of Hatton, a little deaf
and dumb girl eight years of age,
was present and gave a reoitatlon in
the deaf and dumb alphabet that
attracted much attention and was
favorably commented on. Pupils
from the 3d grade came before tbe
High School and played "Little Jack
Horner," acquitting themselves most
creditably.
There will be a vacation of one
week only, work being resumed
again on the 29th.
No Hoodoo Here.
It Pays *Ta Advertise.
A, 0. Derby in running an ad in
the Sentinel,'calling attention to the
good things the *'Kandy Kitchen"
has to offer, The ad says; among
other things "jfanoy boxes of Candy
all ready to send" This little feature caught the eagle eye of Tom
Michael over } In Canada and now
some of that candy, along with other
good things, hfts gone into the country to gladden' the hearts of some
relatives here^ By the way, Tom
seems to have turned merchant and
is running tbe store for the Lake
Superior Paper Uo.
ID. £. C. 11.
FARMERS' JHST1TUTE
Will Be Held in Clare January
' 19th and 20th.
Our readers will note from their
advertisement which appears in another page that the firm White and
Son succeeds E. A. White in the jewelry and optical business. We mentioned a few weeks ago the return of
Oarl White- from Detroit where he
had been with one of the large jewelry houses. He now joins his father
in the same work, and will no doubt
assume a large Bhare of the responsibility for its success as time goes
by.

Something That Will Inierest
All Farmers.
There are people wbo think that
the number 13 is in some way fatalistic and no good can possibly come
out of it. However, Fred Hubel
seems to think it has been all right
with him for once at least. On the
13th instant a hen that bad "stolen"
her nest appeared with 13 fine chickens. Rather late in tbe season but
perhaps they will be the first layers
in the spring.
JANUARY CLEARANCE SALE.
Begins Next Saturday
nell Store.
At Bick-
Robert Wilson of Vernon believes
in knowing about what his cows are
doing all the time in the way of getting the balance on the right side of
the ledger. He has the figures along
this line running back several years.
The results of many of the "cow testing associations" have been to show
that not a few cows do not pay tbeir
keeping.
Mr. Wilson started in Jan. 1 last
with seven cows but one farrow cow
was sold in August. With these his
receipts for cream sold from January
1 to Dec. 20 were S398.60, besides butter and milk for a family of three.
This is but a trifle less than 857 per
cow, assuming that the entire seven
remained throughout, whereas there
were only six cows during about one
third of the time. This would seem
to be an exceedingly fine showing
and we shall be glad to hear from
the man whocan"go one better."
These cows were fed no grain during the summer, the pasture, however, being excellent. In tbe winter
the roughage has been hay, corn
stalks and bean pods and the grain
corn, oats and bran. He has no silo.
Mr. Wilson seems to think that Ed
Hanley, manager for the Mich.
Creamery Oo., is "onto his job"
when it comes to testing cream as
the test did not vary more than one
point during the year.
Auction.
On Wednesday next, Deo. 31, Ash-
er Knight will have an auction sale
at his residence one mile sonth and
three miles eaBt of Olare. He offers
live stock, farm tools in good condition, and quite a quantity of fodder.
It is an afternoon sale and lunoh will
be furnished those from h distance.
John Beadle will be auctioneer. See
ad on another page.
Miss Rath Seeley oame.from Tomahawk, Wis.* where she is teaching
and Miss Orlotta from Big Rapids
where she is attending the Ferris Institute to Bpend the holidays with
their parents, Mt. and Mrs* James
Seeley of Vernon.
There is no complaint from the
big Wm. H. Bicknell store as to lack
of business these days. Although
this firm used a lull page in each of
our holiday editions to tell the people what they could find in the various departments, two pages have
been required this week to give the
details of the January Clearance
Sale which begins Saturday Dec. 27,
and lastB all through January.
This sale has come to be a regular
feature of the Bicknell store, as
stocks are not allowed to hold over
from one winter to another. Considering the exceptionally mild winter whioh we have had thus far, no
doubt some unusually good bargains
will go to those who take prompt advantage of this January sale. Look
over the offerings.
Grange Social.
On Monday evening next, December 29th, Grant Grange will elect officers and have a general social time, i
Every member is requested to be|
present. Bring well filled baskets.'
Harry Andrews of Lowell is the
guest of Miss Ethel Oudney tbis
week. Miss Winifred Thayer of Midland and Robert Weidman of Mt.
Pleasant came for the party Tuesday
evening, being her guests also.
Mr. and Mrs. G. Terwilliger attended the graduation exercises of
the Oentral Normal School last Friday, where their daughter, Miss
Bernice, completed a teacher's
course. She has accepted a position
in the BohOols at Soottvllle, and will

Let ub turn lor a ■ moment to the
Physical Education Department of
our Union.
This, if, better understood, will be
better appreciated as an important
link in the chain of effort to rid the
nation from the curse of drink.
As a society' we come into being
under the stress of a great conviction
of doty, not alone to reclaim the inebriate, bnt alsb to spare if possible
coming generations from the blight
of a relentless appetite for alcohol.
For this reasob, those departments
which moBt intimately concern alcohol in its varied relations to the individual and the State, seem of paramount importance; while some other
departments, snch as Physical Education, not directly connected with
the cause of intemperance fail to be
granted merited place in this great
reform.
To thinking educators who are inclined toward^this philanthrophy this
department does appeal as foundation work in establishing an upright
and efficient nation.
The Scientific Temperanoe Instruction laws in all the states and under
tbe Federal Government represent a
great work of tbe W. 0. T. U. This
influence for good in the life of the
child will never be fully estimated.
In the majority of cases it will result in voluntary total abstinence, as
the outcome of intelligent, conscientious judgment, through education
where such does not result, tbe state
wilt at least haVe discharged its duty
In preventing disaster through ignorance. . '
We can easily understand why the
liquor forces have so strenuously
opposed these' temperance education
laws. The continuance of this
nefarious - business depends upon
teaching the yonng to drink. What
is Physical Education? Many varying answers haye been given by
specialists but perhaps the most comprehensive is: "Development .and
training of tbe nervous system,''
which must be at the helm in all
mental and physical efficiency. Promoting the well being of the body
through exercise is following an established law of nature. This W. 0.
T. U. department indorses no speoiai
system. It only advocates foundation principles ^n which all systems
and methods must build. When
laws are secured, the matter of
methods will be left with educators
and specialists. This training in
the public schools is not competitive
athletics for the chosen few. It
means body education alike for
every boy or girl, to whom physical
equiptment is vitally and equally
essential. This phase of work was
addsd to the national roster of departments in 1890, at the Atlanta,
Ga., Convention. The object of this
department is "to secure laws in the
various states making this instruction compulsory in all schools Under
publio control. X
We announce With pleasure the
receipt of an outline program from
State Superintendent Taft for our
annual session of the Farmers' Institute. According to present plans
the Institute will be held January
19th and 20th in the basement of the
Congregational ohprcb. The evening session on Monday the 19th will
be held in the auditorium of the
same church.
The field which the program covers
is a large one, suoh important phases
of farming as: Oontageous Diseases
of Live Stock, Fruit Culture, Alfalfa
Culture, Taxes and Taxation, Cooperative Marketing of Crops, The
Home Dairy, Soil and its Care, Commercial Fertilizer and Chickens will
be spoken on.
Prof. Henderson of Ann Arbor has
been secured as our principal speaker for the evening session. His subject is "Boys" an interesting subject
at all times, one which the" boys
themselves will want to hear, one
which theigirls will undoubtly be interested in, and as it is a wise parent that knows his son, the parents
will want to hear Mr. Henderson. All signs point to a successful
meeting. Tell your friends to attend,
come yourself. Something interesting for everyone and everyone welcome.
Watch this space for further notes
next week.

FATAL ACCIDENT
Floyd Gerrin Drawn Into Clover Huller.
Received From California
Ranch,
As many know, perhaps, several
parties here have each a tract of land
in California upon Which an orange
grove is being developed. This land
is in Tulare Co., about 240 miles distant from both San Francisco and
Los Angeles. A. S. Rhoades, who
has a ten acre tract, has just received from there a box of oranges,
picked from trees three years old.
We have had the pleasure of testing
a liberal sample and they are very
fine indeed.
There is an electric line passing
through this tract of land so that
transportation facilities will be all
right. Under ordinary conditions
the orange tree is a long-lived affair,
a century even not measuring its
span. It rather looks as if these men
may have a fine investment out there.
If troubled with headache or in
need of glasses consult J* Leahy,
the optometrist, when he comes December 29-30 as he is prepared to fit
any eyes that can be fitted. adv
Mrs. W. T. Weir went to Montrose Wednesday to spend Ohristmas
with her mother and sister. She waB
joined at Coleman by her daughter
Mrs. J. F. Thompson and children.
Mrs. Richard Deeter, of Omaha,
Neb., who was formerly Miss Ethel
Wells, was the guest of Miss Emma

Exhibits On Street Thursday
And Friday.
A .sad and shocking accident occurred at tbe Rexroth farm four miles
south of this city On Monday forenoon by which Floyd Gerrin lost his
life. He was one of the crew with O.
W. Martin's clover huller and had
climbed on tbe machine to adjust a
belt, said to be an impossible thing'in
the way he attempted it. In some
way he slipped and one foot was
drawninto the cylinder, the foot and
leg being ground up half way to the
knee, besides other injuries. A telephone message brought Dr. Sanford
and Dr. Mussell to the scene, they arriving indeed before the unfortunate
man was extricated from the machine. Nothing could be done "for
him, however, death coming in a few
minutes. He was conscious all the
tim'e and seemed to sufler little, the
shock seeming to destroy all sense of
feeling.
We are informed that Mr. Gerrin
was about 30 years of age and bas a
wife and one child. The family were
living with the widowed mother in
northwest Vernon and are left with
little means of support. We are informed that the funeral will be beld
today (Friday) but cannot give details now.

Michigan Development Bureau, a cut
of which was shown in the Sentinel
some weeks ago and which has been'
showing in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
for tbe past four months, was in this
city on Thursday and Friday of last
week. The exhibit is on an auto and
is so arranged as to make quite a
fine show. It was in charge of A. M.
Welch of Ionia who has a large
stock ranch in Iosco Oo. Mr. Welch
is an enthusiast on the importance
of northeastern Michigan as a grazing country and gave some striking
figures showing gains made by stock
running through the season oh these
lands. ■"■ "• - ■•
The trip of oyer 3000 miles had
been made without a mishap and the
auto bad never once' failed to go
through, though oftentimes through

McKinley School.
One who was present informs the
Sentinel that very interesting exercises were held at the McKinley
School in Southeast Grant on Tuesday evening. Santa was there all
right and tbe exercises throughout
very creditable to teacher and pupils.
The teacher, Miss Belle Sutton,
seems to be satisfying her patrons
in full measure. By the way, she has
walked from this city to the school,
something over two miles, all the
year this far, so she seems to be getting plenty of exercise.
A Great Success.
The Christmas party given 4n the-
new auditorium of the Michigan Produce Co. Tnesday evening under the
auspices of the Masonic Lodge was a
very pleasant affair, and was enjoyed
by Bixty couples, several of whom
were visitors from outside points.
The hall was handsomely decorated
in keeping with the Christmas . season. The Grand March*, which Started shortly before nine o'clock, was
led by the officers of the lodge and

'-'&' Official Paper ©(the City and County Esfcattlished 18^8 mmmmmmaammmmmmmmmm WIN TWO GAMES, Boys And Girls Both Triumph Over Evart Teams. Circulation Greater Than AHOther CIare% County Papers Combined. CLARE, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 26, 1913 New Series: Vol. 22 No* T The Basket Ball season opened last Friday evening with added glory to our arms, as Napoleon would say. In other words, it was a successful opening, both as to score and attendance. The new building of fche Michigan Produce Co. which Is to be used for the present, at least, makes a fine place for this game, only about two- thirds of its length being required for the players, while the balance is reserved for the spectators. And spectators there were in abundance, numbering not far from two hundred doubtless,. This iB an encoumging feature, as the attendance last year was rather limited, especially in the early part of the season, the game being, however,- comparatively new new in Olare, Enthusiasm was displayed on every excusable occasion. Horns and other noise-making devices supplemented tbe human vocal organs in effective fashion. And the home folks had good- cause to feel cheerful, as the lads, and lasses too, romped away with the first money in what looked like championship style. The "scrubs" had a preliminary bout with the 0. J. 0. team while the slow end of the crowd was arriving, . the former winning 14 to 8.- Tben the girls came on for their first half, and here it was soon evident that the •visitors were outclassed, as they were tmable to locate the basket on their t&w trials, while 16 was- the count for v Olare. The boys also showed their calibre by outplaying their opponents on almost every move. In justice to the athletes from Evart, it should be explained that this is their first year of basket ball, po we are informed, and the lack of experience no doubt explains largely their failure to make it an even con- teat. .They certainly did not lack in fighting qualities, and were in the game from first minute to last. The second halves looked much better for the losing teams, the boys in particular seeming to solve the •'question of how to get hold of the A '* ball successfully. The final scores and the home lineup follow. GIHLS' GAME. Clare High School, 23. Evart, 2. Rose Stanley, Georgia Hood, Forwards. Ruth Ryan, Jumping Center. Bessie Henderson, Side Center.

When all'tbe world with joy should sing; This iB the day the Christ was born Who is our Savior, Lord and King. We hear the story o'er and o'er, The same old song year after year; Yet 'tis sweetest of all tbe lore That ever mortal man may hear. How the great wise men of the East Saw the Star o'er Judea's plain; There in the manger found the babe Who o'er Heaven and earth should reignr Yes, this thought is ever new, Hearts that are warm with love re- . peat, Hail! all hail! unto Him who reigns Hail! while we sing the carol sweet. This is a song for ricb and poor, Old and young, for happy and sad; All may join in one long"swpet strain Making the whole wide world be glad. —Mrs. Frank Lamoreaux. CHRISTMAS EXERCISES Held in Our Public On Friday. Schools REBEKAHS CELEBRATE With Christmas Tree Last Tuesday Evening. As the members of the Rebekah lodge gathered in their hall Tuesday night, they were surprised to find that Santa Olaus has been there first and had left a fine Christmas tree decorated in fine style and loaded with gifts, such as sacks of pop corn, post cards, candy and the like. All of those present were remembered with a present of some kind. A program was also given consisting of songs, recitations and readings. Naturally, a most enjoyable time was the result of tbe gathering. Business Change. We regret that we were unable to set the school items of last week In which announcement was made of exeroises to be held.. One of these announcements was striking and perhaps out of the usual order. It stated that each pupil of the seventh grade was going to give some other pupil a Ohristmas present. Certainly that was a fine idea and' worthy of commendation. Exercises appropriate to the season were in the High School and most of the grades on Friday afternoon before closing for the holidays; The 1st and 2nd gradeunited in their exercises, as did the 4th and 6th, each having 'a Ohristmas tree. The 3d grade also had a tree with the due appearance of Santa. The 5th grade had a Ohristmas party with recitations and refreshments. In the High School the Literary Society entertained with music and recitations several of the latter manifesting a high order of talent. Al- vera Hains of Hatton, a little deaf and dumb girl eight years of age, was present and gave a reoitatlon in the deaf and dumb alphabet that attracted much attention and was favorably commented on. Pupils from the 3d grade came before tbe High School and played "Little Jack Horner" acquitting themselves most creditably. There will be a vacation of one week only, work being resumed again on the 29th. No Hoodoo Here. It Pays *Ta Advertise. A, 0.

ID. £. C. 11. FARMERS' JHST1TUTE Will Be Held in Clare January ' 19th and 20th. Our readers will note from their advertisement which appears in another page that the firm White and Son succeeds E. A. White in the jewelry and optical business. We mentioned a few weeks ago the return of Oarl White- from Detroit where he had been with one of the large jewelry houses. He now joins his father in the same work, and will no doubt assume a large Bhare of the responsibility for its success as time goes by. aIood record Something That Will Inierest All Farmers. There are people wbo think that the number 13 is in some way fatalistic and no good can possibly come out of it. However, Fred Hubel seems to think it has been all right with him for once at least. On the 13th instant a hen that bad "stolen" her nest appeared with 13 fine chickens. Rather late in tbe season but perhaps they will be the first layers in the spring. JANUARY CLEARANCE SALE. Begins Next Saturday nell Store. At Bick- Robert Wilson of Vernon believes in knowing about what his cows are doing all the time in the way of getting the balance on the right side of the ledger. He has the figures along this line running back several years. The results of many of the "cow testing associations" have been to show that not a few cows do not pay tbeir keeping. Mr. Wilson started in Jan. 1 last with seven cows but one farrow cow was sold in August. With these his receipts for cream sold from January 1 to Dec. 20 were S398.60, besides butter and milk for a family of three. This is but a trifle less than 857 per cow, assuming that the entire seven remained throughout, whereas there were only six cows during about one third of the time. This would seem to be an exceedingly fine showing and we shall be glad to hear from the man whocan"go one better." These cows were fed no grain during the summer, the pasture, however, being excellent. In tbe winter the roughage has been hay, corn stalks and bean pods and the grain corn, oats and bran. He has no silo. Mr. Wilson seems to think that Ed Hanley, manager for the Mich. Creamery Oo., is "onto his job" when it comes to testing cream as the test did not vary more than one point during the year. Auction. On Wednesday next, Deo. 31, Ash- er Knight will have an auction sale at his residence one mile sonth and three miles eaBt of Olare. He offers live stock, farm tools in good condition, and quite a quantity of fodder. It is an afternoon sale and lunoh will be furnished those from h distance. John Beadle will be auctioneer. See ad on another page. Miss Rath Seeley oame.from Tomahawk, Wis.* where she is teaching and Miss Orlotta from Big Rapids where she is attending the Ferris Institute to Bpend the holidays with their parents, Mt. and Mrs* James Seeley of Vernon. There is no complaint from the big Wm. H. Bicknell store as to lack of business these days. Although this firm used a lull page in each of our holiday editions to tell the people what they could find in the various departments, two pages have been required this week to give the details of the January Clearance Sale which begins Saturday Dec. 27, and lastB all through January. This sale has come to be a regular feature of the Bicknell store, as stocks are not allowed to hold over from one winter to another. Considering the exceptionally mild winter whioh we have had thus far, no doubt some unusually good bargains will go to those who take prompt advantage of this January sale. Look over the offerings. Grange Social. On Monday evening next, December 29th, Grant Grange will elect officers and have a general social time, i Every member is requested to be present. Bring well filled baskets.' Harry Andrews of Lowell is the guest of Miss Ethel Oudney tbis week. Miss Winifred Thayer of Midland and Robert Weidman of Mt. Pleasant came for the party Tuesday evening, being her guests also. Mr. and Mrs. G. Terwilliger attended the graduation exercises of the Oentral Normal School last Friday, where their daughter, Miss Bernice, completed a teacher's course. She has accepted a position in the BohOols at Soottvllle, and will begin work the first of the year. The first step toward freedom and independence IS economy. The starting point of economy is the first NICKEL, DIME or DOLLAB that Is saved as a nucleus around whioh the whole future may be built. Get one of onr Security savings banks; they help you save.

This, if, better understood, will be better appreciated as an important link in the chain of effort to rid the nation from the curse of drink. As a society' we come into being under the stress of a great conviction of doty, not alone to reclaim the inebriate, bnt alsb to spare if possible coming generations from the blight of a relentless appetite for alcohol. For this reasob, those departments which moBt intimately concern alcohol in its varied relations to the individual and the State, seem of paramount importance; while some other departments, snch as Physical Education, not directly connected with the cause of intemperance fail to be granted merited place in this great reform. To thinking educators who are inclined toward^this philanthrophy this department does appeal as foundation work in establishing an upright and efficient nation. The Scientific Temperanoe Instruction laws in all the states and under tbe Federal Government represent a great work of tbe W. 0. T. U. This influence for good in the life of the child will never be fully estimated. In the majority of cases it will result in voluntary total abstinence, as the outcome of intelligent, conscientious judgment, through education where such does not result, tbe state wilt at least haVe discharged its duty In preventing disaster through ignorance. . ' We can easily understand why the liquor forces have so strenuously opposed these' temperance education laws. The continuance of this nefarious - business depends upon teaching the yonng to drink. What is Physical Education? Many varying answers haye been given by specialists but perhaps the most comprehensive is: "Development .and training of tbe nervous system,'' which must be at the helm in all mental and physical efficiency. Promoting the well being of the body through exercise is following an established law of nature. This W. 0. T. U. department indorses no speoiai system. It only advocates foundation principles ^n which all systems and methods must build. When laws are secured, the matter of methods will be left with educators and specialists. This training in the public schools is not competitive athletics for the chosen few. It means body education alike for every boy or girl, to whom physical equiptment is vitally and equally essential. This phase of work was addsd to the national roster of departments in 1890, at the Atlanta, Ga., Convention. The object of this department is "to secure laws in the various states making this instruction compulsory in all schools Under publio control. X We announce With pleasure the receipt of an outline program from State Superintendent Taft for our annual session of the Farmers' Institute. According to present plans the Institute will be held January 19th and 20th in the basement of the Congregational ohprcb. The evening session on Monday the 19th will be held in the auditorium of the same church. The field which the program covers is a large one, suoh important phases of farming as: Oontageous Diseases of Live Stock, Fruit Culture, Alfalfa Culture, Taxes and Taxation, Cooperative Marketing of Crops, The Home Dairy, Soil and its Care, Commercial Fertilizer and Chickens will be spoken on. Prof. Henderson of Ann Arbor has been secured as our principal speaker for the evening session. His subject is "Boys" an interesting subject at all times, one which the" boys themselves will want to hear, one which theigirls will undoubtly be interested in, and as it is a wise parent that knows his son, the parents will want to hear Mr. Henderson. All signs point to a successful meeting. Tell your friends to attend, come yourself. Something interesting for everyone and everyone welcome. Watch this space for further notes next week. W. H. Kennedy, Pres.

FATAL ACCIDENT Floyd Gerrin Drawn Into Clover Huller. Received From California Ranch, As many know, perhaps, several parties here have each a tract of land in California upon Which an orange grove is being developed. This land is in Tulare Co., about 240 miles distant from both San Francisco and Los Angeles. A. S. Rhoades, who has a ten acre tract, has just received from there a box of oranges, picked from trees three years old. We have had the pleasure of testing a liberal sample and they are very fine indeed. There is an electric line passing through this tract of land so that transportation facilities will be all right. Under ordinary conditions the orange tree is a long-lived affair, a century even not measuring its span. It rather looks as if these men may have a fine investment out there. If troubled with headache or in need of glasses consult J* Leahy, the optometrist, when he comes December 29-30 as he is prepared to fit any eyes that can be fitted. adv Mrs. W. T. Weir went to Montrose Wednesday to spend Ohristmas with her mother and sister. She waB joined at Coleman by her daughter Mrs. J. F. Thompson and children. Mrs. Richard Deeter, of Omaha, Neb., who was formerly Miss Ethel Wells, was the guest of Miss Emma Niemeyer over Sunday, and s~ent part of the week with friends i i tt.e country. ti. E, BUREAU Exhibits On Street Thursday And Friday. A .sad and shocking accident occurred at tbe Rexroth farm four miles south of this city On Monday forenoon by which Floyd Gerrin lost his life. He was one of the crew with O. W. Martin's clover huller and had climbed on tbe machine to adjust a belt, said to be an impossible thing'in the way he attempted it. In some way he slipped and one foot was drawninto the cylinder, the foot and leg being ground up half way to the knee, besides other injuries. A telephone message brought Dr. Sanford and Dr. Mussell to the scene, they arriving indeed before the unfortunate man was extricated from the machine. Nothing could be done "for him, however, death coming in a few minutes. He was conscious all the tim'e and seemed to sufler little, the shock seeming to destroy all sense of feeling. We are informed that Mr. Gerrin was about 30 years of age and bas a wife and one child. The family were living with the widowed mother in northwest Vernon and are left with little means of support. We are informed that the funeral will be beld today (Friday) but cannot give details now. SUNDAY SCHOOL * Officers And Plans of Work . In County.
