GLARE HIGH WON
First    Courrty    Championship
Game From Harrison.
Manylnew faces will be seen behind the desks in the local schools
next year. Fortunately, we have
been able to retain most of the
efficient high school faculty but the
grades see a loss of seven teachers.
The inability to pay higher wages to
the grade teachers makes it impossible to retain many of the teachers whose' experience and ability
* command higher salaries elsewhere.
Great pains have been taken in tbe
selection of the new teachers who
come highly recommended and it is
confidently expected that the present high Btandard of the schools will
be maintained.
Following is the faculty for next
year:
*Supt., O. h, Poulson.
High School.
*Prin,f Lulu Fisk.
*Languages, Mata Jungnitsh.
*Hist. and Eng.,  Winnifred  Oroel.
Music, Mrs. Mable Smith.
Grades.
8th, Nellie L. Crane.
7feh, Hazel Mater.
6tb, Frank Hampton.
5th, (Not yet supplied.)
*4th', Florence Huffman.
3rd, Christine Tatman.
2nd, Mabel Maxwell.
1st, L, Ernestine Baatz.
* Reelected.
Mrs. Smith, the music teacher
comes here from Albion college
wbere she has been both teaching
and taking work; MiBS Crane comes
from Boyne City; Miss Baatz from
Honor; Miss Tatman lives in the city
and taught very successfully this
year at Ironwood; Misses "Mater and
Maxwell and Mr. Hampton all come
from the grand old town of Grant.
Of the departing teachers, Miss
Dier will teach at Bad Axe; Miss Corey at Alma; Miss McMillan at Mt.
Pleasant; Miss Adgate, Miss Mudge
and Miss Shoecraft are undecided,
Miss Hawkins will not teach but
further saith not.
' Last Friday tbe local high school
won the first .game in the county
championship series from Harrison
by a. score of 6 to 5. The game waB
played on the race track diamond
There and a fair crowd attended.
Wright pitohedmost of the game for
Clare and pitched a strong game.
Harrison had their city pitcher but
he was not a serious puzzle to the
local batters.- The rough Infield
made accurate fielding of ground
balls impossible or there would have
been a little less scoring on each
side. The game was marred too by
errors on the part of each first baseman and by two raw muffs of flys on
the part of Harrison ^fielders. Shortstop Hawkins played a snappy game
for Clare, going once way over between third and left fielder and nabbing 4 fly that would otherwise have
gone for a hit. The playing of the
home team as-,a whole, was -very • encouraging,
Harrison started the scoring, was
overtaken in the fifth, and tied the
score again in their half of the ninth.
In Glare's half of the ninth, Empey,
the first man up, got a hit, took
second on an overthrow of first,
stole third and -scored on a hit by
Josliri.. This legally ended the game
but the umpire had lost track of
either the 'score or the inning and
allowed the game to proceed, Clare
batting all the way around and getting four more scores just to show
what they could do. M
The high school girls and teachers
furnished a'generous amount of rooting, the favorite yell being:
Ching-a-lack-a, ching-a-lack-a, chug-
chug-chug.
You'll go. home on the Harrison
plug.
Tbe score:
Clare 0   0   2   0   111   0**1
Harrison       102001-001
*None out when winning run was
scored.
Batteries:
Clare,' Wright, White and- Joslin.
Harrison, Swantz and Gosine.
Umpires: •
Green, Harrison.
Collins and Hutchins, Olare.
Emma Sophia Nass.
* Miss Nass was bom in Wittenberg,
Germany, June 1G, 1886, and came to
America with her parents in April,
1892, when-a child of six. The family
settled in Grant township where sbe
grew to womanhood and where nearly all her life has been spent. A few
months ago she and a sister went to
Port Huron to work in tbe Harrington hotel where she continued, although in poor health and suffering
much at times. On Saturday last
she was taken suddenly sick while at
her work in the dining-room and
was taken to a hospital where she
died about 8:30 on Monday morning.
The body waB brought to this city
and the funeral, conducted by Rev.
Knight, J eld from the Baptist church
on Tuesday last with interment at
Cherry Grove. The funeral was very
largely attended by relatives and
neighbors, She was a member of the
Order of Gleaners and many of them
joined with the friends in paying tbe
last tribute to their former associate.
She leaves, beside her aged parents, /our brothers and three sisters, all of whom were present, and
many relatives and friends. Miss
Nass was very highly respected, and
her early death Ib much to be deplored, • „
KAYKAKEE CLUB
Merry Gathering.
Last Wednesday the reporter
chanced to call at the home of Vance
Warren. Everything looked quiet
and calm from the street-but when
he stepped inside a merry crowd was
found. The West Vernon ladies aid
society Of which Mrs. Warren was a
member during her residence in that
neighborhood, came up and took
dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Warren,
twenty-five sitting down to the table.
It goes without saying" that a very
jolly time was had.

To Be Given Some Boy From
Each County.
The State Fair Managers are very
generously offering something "that
should prove quite an incentive to
the boys over the state. Of course
it will prove a good advertisement
for the Fair, but none the less it
offers a fine opportunity for tbe
boys to see the sights and learn a
great deal along many lines. < To
have all expenses paid and be cared
for and instructed while there, is
something the hoys may well try
hard to secure. As will.be seen by
the plan,, the selection in each county
will be made at the 8th grade examination on May 17, the candidate being tested on 20 -questions prepared
by the Fair Management, tbis . to
count equally with the regular grade
examination. "tAs will be seen below,
the selection is made by the county
commissioner of schools,, the president of the Farmers' Institute society and the master of the Potriona
Grange. In this county therefore it
will be Comr. Aldrich, Pres. Arlington Seeley and Master Robert Hutchinson. The circular sent out by the
Fair officials says:
"The State Fair has decided to
send one boy from each county to the
Fair at Detroit, Sept, 16-21, to give
him instructions while there in stock
judging, soil testing; also, talks on
various agricultural topics, and pay
his expenses.
The selection of tbe boy will be
made by the following committee 'in
each county; county commissioner of
schools, pres. of farmers institute
society and master of Pomona Grange;
The committee will meet to select
tbe boy on June 4, or at the call of
oounty commissioners of schools.
The selection will be made from
the two following examinations,
taken by any boy in the county,
between the ages of 14 and 18:
First—The regular county 8th grade
examination to count SO per cent.
Second—Examination on 20 questions prepared by State Fair management to count 50 per cent.
Second examinations to be taken
by applicants on afternoon of May 17
with regular 8th grade examination.
Second examination questions will
be sent to each commissioner, under
seal about May 6. The boy in the
county, between 14 and 18 having tbe
largest average standing, will be
selected by the above committee.
Any boy in the county between 14
anctlS who wishes to attend the fair
and have expenses paid, must take
both examinations, and committee
will select one boy from this' number.
Bach county commissioner is asked
to send this letter to each teacher, to
be read to her school, and ask each
paper in the county to publish it.   \
This is a fine chance for one bright
boy in each county. The State Fair
management wish to thank in advance the above cpmmitte for selecting the, boy and the county commissioners for giving the examinations ancl marking the papers,"

Old Time Spell Down.
The Olympic Society of the high
School had an old fashioned spelling
down at their meeting last Monday
night. Thirty-five members of, the
society were in line and it took fifty
minutes to dispose of them. Seven
girls who survived the other- spellers-
kept Miss Fisk, the .pronouncer,
going for seyeral minutes and she
finally had to resort to the back of
the book. Curiously; four of the
seven went down on "vicissitude."'
Miss Leila Reynolds was the last to
go down and consequently the first
in honors. Since Monday evening
we have some doubt as to the truth
of the statement that children have
not been taught to spell since the
school days of our fathers and
mothers'.
