or
and
Once to every man or nation comes
the moment to decide.
Itf tjbe strife of truth with falsehood,
tor the good or evil side;
Sorno'great cause, God's new Messiah, offering each the bloom
blight.
Parts the goats upon the- left,
the sheep upon the right,
And   the choice   goes   on   forever
'twist   that darknesB  and that
•light.
Careless seems the great Avenger;
history's pages but record
One death grapple in tbe darkness
'twist old systems and the Word;
Truth    forever    on   the    scaffold,
wrong forever  on the throne-
Yet that sbaffold sways the future,
and, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth "God within the' shadow,
keeping watch above his own.
Than to side with truth is noble when
we share her wretched crust.
Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and 'tis proserous to be just,
Then it is tbe brave man .chooses
While the coward stands aside,
Doubting in bis abject spirit, till
his Lord is crucified,
And the multitude make virtue of
the faith tbey had denied.
For humanity sweeps onward; where
today the martyr stands,
On the morrow croupbes Judas with
the silver in his hands;
Far in front the cross stands ready,
-    and the crackling fagotB burn,
"While the hooting mob of yesterday
in silent awe return
To glean up the scattered ashes in-
•    to history's golden urn.
New occasions   teach new'  duties;
time" makes  ancient   good   uncouth;
They must upward still and onward,
Who   would keep   abreast with
truth; ♦
Lo, before ns gleam the camp fires 1
"We^ourselvea must pilgrims be.
Launch   our   Mayflower   and_ steer
boldly   through   the   desperate
winter sea.
Nor attempt the future's portal with
the past'e-blood rusted key.

At the 9th annual meeting of the
Michigan Egg, Butter, and Poultry
Shippers Association, held in Detroit
on the 12th inst, action was taken
that will certainly concern farraersr
and to this their* attention is carefully directed. It is claimed by this
association that the methods employed in the past in the handling of
eggs have not been the correct ones,
and a change to remedy this, in a
measure at least, is to go into, effect
June 1st of this' year. This meeting,
was quite largely attended and the
following resolution was adopted:
''Resolved, that we, the undersigned
egg shippers, hereby agree that from
and after June 1st, 1912, we will buy
all eggs 'loss,off,' said 'loss off' to include all rots, spots, blood rings and
leakers." Dealers throughout tbe
state are to be solicited, and it is confidently believed that most of them
will fall into line ac the appointed
time. Dairy and Food Commissioner
Dame is to be asked to have cards
add circulars printed and mailed to
every merchant in the state, the
association bearing the expense.
Buyers are expected to send out
circulars to their patrons explaining
tbe proper marketing pf eggs.
The meeting was addressed by C.
L. Opperman, representing the Department of Agriculture at Washington, who will be in charge of the
work for the government throughout
the state this year. "Two things we
must do," he said, "is to get tbe
farmers educated to the point where
they find it pays to market their eggs
as quickly as possible after they are
laid,'and next to get them to'eithevkill
off or separate their cockerels from
their laying hens as soon as they are
through hatching." The great quest-
on of the meeting was, how to improve the quality of the Michigan
egg from the producer to the consumer.
The cost of living is very high, and
the prices paid by consumers warrant them in'demanding of the producers tbat tbe products from the
farm be delivered in good condition.
We understand that the state
authorities propose to cooperate with
buyers in a similar way in the matter
of cream.
As illustrating a point in the above,
we are informed that a person in this
city- purchased a quantity o/ supposedly fresh eggs from a grocer and
nine of them in succession were
broken before one was found tbat
had not been boiled. Whether the
producer resorted to tin's method to
keep tbe eggs "fresh" or whether,
considering tbe high price of fuel,
he thought, boiled eggs might be
more acceptable tq the consumer, we
are not informed. Perhaps "a new
breed of hens has been developed
that lays boiled eggs.

MAYOR ADAMS
Placed At Head Of Both Tickets
But Chooses Democratic.
■ Last fall the ladies of the Altar Society sold tickets for a drawing to>
determine who should become -, the
owner of a fine center piece tbey
'were offering. The drawing, took
place at the Mussell drug store on-
Friday evening and. ticket No. 46
held by Mrs. Mulcbay of Cleveland
was the lucky one.
Some weeks ago through tbe press
a series of mysterious questions were
propounded to the citizens of this
city, among which was the following: "What is an advertising party?"
The question suggested something
new and strange and expectation
was on tiptoe to find out just what it
might be. Well, we know now.
Anyone who chanced to drop into
one ofthe stores in tbe Dunwoodie
block on Friday or Saturday had bis
curiosity gratified. A catalogue
house, department store, school for
salesmen, first class orchestra and
we know not what else, # all condensed in oue. Tbe visitor was immediately confronted with a most
alarming array of salesmen,. salesladies and sales children, armed with
packages, cans, bottles and no, one
knows what else. Any man who
valued bis life made haste to purchase. And he received good goods
and the worth of his money too, bo
he had "no kick coming.)y Everyone escaped with his life so far as
we have heard and no one has complained that he did not get the worth
of his money in goods and amusement. It was certainly a hummer.
We do not. know who was commander in chief in this enterprise, though
we suspect Landlord Phelps may
know something about it. At any
rate it was a great success. The net
proceeds tip to date are 8104.38 with
quite a stock of goods still left. The
3tars are certainly to be congratula-
ed on their success. Tbey shine all
right.

On last week Friday evening J. L.

The evening was pleasantly spent in
games, music, etc. The "mysterious

have caused no little amusement.

The Republicans held their city
and ward caucuses Tuesday evening
and the Democrats Wednesday evening. Mayor Adams (an enrolled** Republican) was named by both parties
to head their ticket, but as his name
can of course appear on only one, he
chooses tbe Democratic, thus leaving
the Republicans without any candidate. We understand that tbe city
committee is not likely to fill this
vacancy as of course they have
authority to do. In general good
men are named on both tickets and
partylines are not likely to be very
rigidly maintained. The "personal
equation" will doubtless decide most
of the contest. The following is the
Republican ticket:
Mayor, W. L Adams; clerk, Wm.
Hitchcock: treasurer, Jno. R. Goodman. It took seven ballots tb decide
the mayoralty contest, Wtn. H.
Caple leading on several' ballots.
Herschel Halstead was a strong candidate for clerk, but withdrew after
the 3d ballot. One vote settled the
treasurership. •
A city committee consisting of one
from each ward was named -as follows; 1st ward, J. S. Biefcneli; 2nd
ward, O. W. Brown5 3rd ward, L. E.
Davy. "
In tbe several ward caucuses the
following nominations were made:
FIRST WARD
Supervisor, Frank Forbes.
Alderman, Jas. B. Bicknell.
Constable, John Forbes
"■"*  SECOND WARD
Supervisor, Saunders A. Gleason
Alderman, Dr. J. B. Roe
Constable, Wm. J. Dwyer
THIRD  WARD

Delegates to tbe county convention

In the Democratic convention
greater unanimity of sentiment
seemed to prevail, at least it took
only one ballot on each condidate
and that was cast by the Clerk under
unanimous instructions. Mayor
Adams and Clerk Rogers were renominated and Harry P. Hubel
chosen for treasurer. Ward nominations were made as follows:

OLYMPIC SOCIETY
Debate on Woman Suffrage Won
By Affirmative.
Not content to let a live question
like woman suffrage be decided by
tbe state legislature and tbe brick
hurling English ( suffragettes, the
Olympia Society of tbe high school
threshed out the question last Monday evening. The two young ladies
taking part were both on the negative. Great ScoUl Are we going to
force this thing on the women? Mrs.
Parkhurst and Mrs. Huntley Russell,
of pourse, excepted.
The affirmative maintained by
John Empey, Percy Wilspn and
Kyle McKinnon, argued that absence
of woman suffrage was taxation with
out representation, which phrase-
means much to Americans. That
women have succeeded in professions along side of men and have
successfully organized and conduct-,
ed great organizations like the Beet
Cross and W. O. T..O. It is a little
ridiculous when the negro, f£esbr
from slavery is given the ballot
which is denied to the author off
Uncle Tom's Cabin, And that the;
argument that women are already
efficiently represented by their male-
protectors has no application to tha
army of working women who have
no such representation,
The negative was' supported by-
Ward Waller, Hallie Kump and
Anna Geroux. The argument was;
based* mainly upon the proposition
that the function of the woman i&
essentially, a domestic one, and anything taking woman's energy and
attention- from the home is ill advised. Such activities as those of
politics must detract from her purely
feminine qualities, wherein lies heir
strength. And women, if they voted,
would necessarily vote the same as
their husbands or else to tbe contrary. If they voted the same the
result would be relatively tbe same
as at present; if she voted otherwise
it must inevitably cause more or lesk
dissension in tbe home—ore alternative being useless, the other vicious..
If any reasonable proportion of the-
women feel about it as Miss Kamp
Great  Success.

Wilson school house, No. 4 Vernon,

A Record Breaker.
Tbe auction sale of C. Roe Huffman was a record breaker. The day
was ideal and tbe largest crowd ever known to assemble at a sale was
there at 9 A.M. an"1 until 5 P.M. D,
Ward,the famous auctioneer, assisted
by Geo. Easier, sold things with great
rapidity, and it took young Huffman
to get things to them. -Everything
sold well. There were about 600 present and oyer $3000 worth of property was disposed of.
- Young Huffman is an enterprising,
man and we are glad to see him
make good. While we are sorry to-
lose him from our commnnity, we
know tbe place where he goes will
get a good neighbor.
He says anyone wishing to have a
good sale should secure tbe serviced
of Dave Ward and Geo. Easier and
advertise in the Clare Sentinel. and:
Farwell Sun. I also wish to say that
the ladies at the house need com-'
mendation for the excellent lunch
which was so .generously served * to-."
tbe large number. But the Huffman*
were equal to the' occasion.
