FARMERS GLUBS.
Strongly
Favor Giving
The Ballot.
Woman
the
jEb common with the Grange
State Association of Farmers' Olubs
favor the ballot tor women. Representative J. TS. MeRride of Shiawassee Oo., president of the association,
says In a circular jnst issued to the
members:
' "The State Association of Farmers'
clubs, by its officers, consider it not
only a duty but a pleasure to ask all
Club< members to use everv rjgbtfnl
means to secure a favorable aotion of
elabs at their meetings preceding
election and also the individual members to get voters to the polls next
month to vote for woman suffrage.
We believe that bb a power" for right-
eonsness in government that woman
suffrage will be effective. There is
no organized opposition te woinan
suffrage except from the liquor interests. This opposition is really complimentary to women and the question is whether the men of Michigan
are ohivalrio or will recognize woman
as an economic factor in citizenship
and moral progress or will rally to
the support of the 'wet' interests."
Vinnie Jane Keith.
Was born in Ashtabula Co., Ohio,
August 6,1876. Her parents eame to
Michigan in the fall of 1877 and she
commenced to attend the Dover
school when only four years of age,
A. J. Doherty being the teacher.
From this school she went to,the
teachers' examination at Farwell in
the fall of 189?^nd received 41 third
grade certificate. She taught seven
terms, one in Gladwin Oo,, giving
good satisfaction. She attended the
Clare High School for about two
years, leaving school to engage in
Christian work with the Crusaders,
finally joining the F. M. church -with
which she labored till the loss of her
health. Ever ready to lend a helping hand and words of hope and encouragement to those in need of help,
she will be missed by many friends.
She departed this life March 20th,
1913, the funeral being held at the
home of her parents in Sheridan on
Saturday, March 22. She leaves to
mourn their loss, the parents, four
sisters and two brothers beside a
wide circle of friends. X
Johnson-Crane.
At the home of the bride's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. John Johnson of 319
W. Maple St., Mt. Pleasant occurred
the marriage of their youngest daughter, Gertrude M., to Mr. John Crane
of Mt. Pleasant, Mar. 24,1913.
The bride -was charmingly gowned
in gray silk poplin and carried
bride's roses. She was attended by
Miss Ruth Powers while Mr. Burt
Andrews acted as best man.
The house was prettily decorated
■with green and carnations while the
arch under which the bridaj party
stood was composed of Easter lillies
and carnations, Elder Cox of the M.
E. church performing the ceremony.
The happy couple will after visiting friends in Owosso make an extended trip to Buffalo and Niagara
Falls and other points. They will
be at home to their many friends at
321 W. Maple St., Mt. Pleasant, after
May 1st,
They were the recipients of many
beautiful gifts which attested the
esteem in which both young people
are held,
The out of town guests were: Mr.
and Mrs. Winchell of Breckenridge
and Mrs. C. A. Welch and daughter
of Saginaw. After the ceremony refreshments were served, covers being
laid for twenty-five.
Field Day.
All teachers in Clare county who
Intend to make any entry on Field
Day.in any of the atheletic events
should notify me at once or" at least
as soon as possible. I hope that
many boys from the rural.'schools
will enter the events. A rural boy
Stands just as good a chance in running, jtfmping, pole-vaulting and
hurdling as any city -boy. Let all
boys take part and help to make tbe
Field Meet a suo_ees. Teacher will
you not tabs hold and try to get
your boys and girls interested?

The Amendments    -
Five amendments are to be submitted to the people this spring- We be*
lieye this unfortunate as regards at
least three ot them, They are certainly matters of importance and the
time is entirely inadequate for voter's
to properly consider them. Slot one in
a hundred will feel at all sure tbatt his
vote will be in accordance With the
(Conclusions of a fuller consideration.
We think it would be far better if the
vote on these three had been deferred
till the next election. The great importance of these amendments lead
us to briefly summarize tbeir provisions and to this we earnestly call the
attention of our readers.
1. • The amendment to Art. 3, Sec. 1,
strikes out the word "male" where it
occurs. In short it confers npon
Women the same privileges as men
have.to tbe ballot. All are familiar
with this and nothing more need be
aaid. - We believe it should be adopted overwhelmingly.
2. Art, 10, Sec. 14, of our constitution reads as follows: *
"The.State shall hot be a party
to, nor be interested in any work
of   internal   improvement,   nor
engage In carrying on any such
' work, except in the improvement
of, or aiding in the improvement
of the public wagon roads, in the
reforestation and protection   of
lands owned by the State - and in.
tbe expenditure of grants to the
State of land or other property."
It is proposed to amend this section by addding the words:   "The
legislature may provide for the relief,
insuring or pensioning of members of
the fire department."   There is nothing complicated  about thia  matter
and all can vote intelligently.   The
work of the fireman is  always  dangerous and we incline' to think that
the people will feel like dealing fairiy
here.   It will be observed that the
adoption of this amendment does not
insure a pension to firemen.   It simply gives the legislature authority to
so legislate.
3. See 1. of Art, 17 provides that
proposals for amendments may originate in either branch of the legislature. Of course this is the usual way
and is the case with all the amendments this spring. Sec. 2 now confers upon tbe electors the right to
initiate amendments and tbe question
is to extend this right. Now it requires a petition from 20% of tbe^vot-
>rn and tbe signatures must be obtained at the regular registration or
polling places under the supervision
of the board whose members mustcer-
fcify to the signatures and that the
signers are electors, It is proposed
to amend thia making the number
10& and the signatures may be obtained by circulating petitions, the
affidavit of the ones circulating the
petitions being conclusive as to the
signatures. As the section now
stands, the legislature by a .majority
vote may veto tbe action of the people or may submit a substitute or
alternate amerdment. It is proposed
o take away thia power, • Tbe a-
mendment petitioned for must be submitted and, if approved by a majority
voting, becomes a part of the constitution.
4. Sections 1 and 10 of Art. 5 provide that the legislative power shall
be vested in a senate and house of
representatives, and that all legislation shall be by bill. QIt is proposed
to amend these provisions to accord
With the declaration that "the people
reserve to themselves the power to
propose legislative measures, resolutions and laws; to enact or reject
the same at the polls independently
of the legislature; to approve or reject at the polls any act passed by
the •legislature,-except acts making
appropriations for state institutions
and to meet deficiencies in state
funds."
"The flrst power reserved by the
people is the initiative." If at least
8% oi the voters petition for a certain
measure, filing the same with the
secretary of the state at "least 10
days before the commencement of
any session, that official shall transact the same to the legislature as
it convenes and the same must be
either enacted or rejected without
amendment   within    |orty     days*

the aged mother had made h#r home
with the daughter. Mrs, Vandewarker, and 'there the end came
peacefully. The funeral, conducted
by Rev. Irwin, was held at the Herrick church with interment at
Cherry Grove. J'You can say that she

A Vision Of the Future^
"     '.   'I '■!
(AUreafeiuiyaon.)
For I dipt into the future, far as hu-
man eye could see,
Saw the vision of the world, and all';
tbe wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce*
argosies df magic, sails,
Pilots of purple twilight, dropping:
down their costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shonti»gr
and there rained a ghastly dew
From the n'ation's airy navies grappling in tbe central blue;
Far along the world-wide whisper ot
the south wind rushing warm,
With the standards of the peoples
plunging thro' the thunderstorm;
Till the war-drum throbbed no longer
"and tbe battle-flags were furled
In the Parliament of man, the Federation ot the world.
There the common sense of most sb«»
bold a fretful realm in awe,
And tbe kindly earth shall slumber,
lapt in universal law,®
For I doubt not thro' the ages one
unceasing purpose runs,
And the thoughts of men are widened
with the process of the suns.

Voters of Hatton must decide for
themselves, but they will pardon outsiders for feeling a great interest in
their decision* The outcome will
mean much to other sections. The
people of Hatton have the reputation
