Successful Meeting At Harrison
Last Week Thursday.
Probably the threatening weather
of last Thursday was tjo blame for the
fact that the annuYil Tri-State picnic did not come up to its former
records as, to attendance. But in
Other respects it was fully up to the
Btandard, and was a day of genuine
enjoyment to those who did go, and
no doubt next year will see the largest crowd in the history of the association, if conditions are favorable.
Olare furnished its full quota, as the
train carried two well-loaded coaches, which included, however, Beveral
from Ooleman and the adjoining
country. The farmers gathered at
the picnic grounds as soon'.as tbey
arrived. But the Harrison and Pittsburgh bands were on fiand at eleven
O.'alock.stru^'ap patriotic airs, and
escorted the belatiSd remnant to the
scene of activity on the shores of
Budd Lake. Politicians were much
in evidence, but their campaigning
seemed to be of an informal nature,
just one of those hearty hand-shakes
and "WelJ, how are the crops looking, John*?" It was necessary to
change the order of exercises somewhat as neither L. L. Eelley of Far-
well, nor "A. M. Fleischauer of Reed
Oity were able to "be present, though
both were op the program. Mrs.
Jennette O. Ferris of Grand Rapids
gave an able talk on woman suffrage,
While Henry R. MacGillis of Harris-
yille, candidate for state senator,
Who was by accident in the city,
made a short speech which was well
received. Other numbers consisted
of recitations, etc., an excellent military drill by several girls. The after-
- noon closed with a ball game between the Olare and Harrison teams,
which nnfortunately was halted in
the last half of the 9th inning, on account of a - disputed decision, the
score then standing 10 to 8 in fayor
of Olare.     „   ■
Wo regret that there should be any
occasion for making excuses, but it
appears to us that such an incident
denotes a lack of good sportsmanship on the part of. some or all of
those interested. We have.read of
athletes who-took into account the
fallibility of every man, and who put
all their energy into doing their part
well, not  presuming to be   judges
to. But it seems there has been
ce time immemorial a feeling of
intense rivaly between the two
towns, and in the eagerness to win,
one is liable to magnify a decision
seemingly favorable to the opposing
side, and to minimize one favorable
to himself. Without attempting to
say whether the one umpire was
exceedingly unfair, as is claimed by
all of our players, we venture the
hope tbat the two teams will get to-
gether-agaih, and after making sure
that strictly able and fair officials are
chosen, abide ' by the decisions as
becomes sportsmen, not kickers. Of
the game itself, there was good and
bad playing on both sides. Olare
started ont by trying to get a favor*
able answer at the first interview,
getting three scores in the first inn-
lag and four in the second, while
Harrison worked on the plan of the
horse that started out on a slow
walk and finished on a dead run.
Besnit had fine control and the opposing batsmen had poor success in
placing hits. Errors were frequent
and account for more than one score.
For the edification of the stay-at-
homes we print below a detailed
summary of the game. "Notice the
dope:

(JLARE, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 23, 1912.
New Series: Vol. 20, No. 41
"Ultima Veritas.
In the bitter wayes of woe,
Beaten, and tossed about
By the sullen winds, that- blow
From the desolate'shores of doubt.
When the Janchors that faith " had
cast
Are destroyed in the gale, *
I amquietly holding fast
To the things that cannot fail.
I know that right is.right;
That it is not good to lie;
That love is better than Bpite;
And a neighbor than a Bpy.
I know that passion needs
The leash of a noble mind;
I know that generous deeds
Some sure reward will find.      K      \
-Thai the ruler must obey;
That the givers shall increase;
That duty lights,the way
For the beautiful feet of peace,
In the darkest hour of the year,
When the lights have all, gone out,
That courage is better than fear;
That faith is safer than doubt.     '
And fierce though the. friends may
-    fight, *
And long though the angels may hide,
I know that truth and right
Have the universe on their side.
And that somewhere beyond  the
stars
Is a love that is better than fate;
When the night unlocks the bars,
I shall see him and I will wait.

Was A Success.
Our readers do not need to be told
that there is to be submitted' to the
voters this fall the question of striking the word "male" from Sec. 1,
Art. 3, of our State Constitution,
thus giving women the ballot upon
the same terms as men. To advance
the interests of this movement, an
organization has been formed in. this
city that promises to accomplish
gopd work. It waB thought best to
utilize an organization already in existence, hence the Women's Christian Temperance Union will undertake' the work, being assisted by
many others who are not members.
■ Several committees were aggreed
upon, the chairman being selected
and she empowered to select her associates.
The following comprise the preliminary organization:
Chairman of 1st Ward, Mrs. Dr,
Leonard; 2d Ward, Mrs. Graves; 3d
Ward, Mrs. Dier. Chairman of committee on literature, Mrs. Knight; on
newspaper service, Miss Hazel Lane;
on house to house canvass, Mrs.

It is proposed to thoroughly organize the city and conduct a lively
campaign.

Canning tablets at Anderson's.
Clara Amelia Turbush, daughter of
Hibbard-N. and Mary Loomis, was
born in Susquehanna county, Penn.,
March 13,1872. When she was quite
young, her parents moves to Isabella
Co., Mich., where she grew to womanhood. On the 19th day of December, 1894, she was united in marriage
to George Turbush and their married
life has been spent on the farm in
Vernon.
She passed to the Great Beyond
Aug. 14,1912, at the early age of 40
years and 5 months, leaving to mourn
their loss her husband and five children, three boys and two girls, and a
wide circle of" friends and relatives.
She was a kind and affectionate wife,
a fond and loving mother, a friend
to all. Earth is poorer, Heaven is
richer because her life is ended here
and begun Over There.
The funeral, -conducted by Rev.
Knight, was held at the Baptist
chureh~on Friday, Aug. 16,"*"with interment at Cherry Grove. A very
large number attended the last sad
rites, attesting the warm place this
most estimable woman held in the,
hearts of her friends and neighbors.
School districts of tbis vicinity
may secure the use of an excellent
library of fifty well selected books by
paying the freight and cartage
charges from Lansing and return,
Educators throughout the country
recognize that proper books of fiction, history, science and government, compose the most essential
equipment for the school room and
the state of Michigan is willing to
help the school districts in tbis mat'
tier. Those in charge of the state
library have arranged to make the
splendid resources of that institution
available for the people of the entire
state instead of merely the residents
of Lansing.
The traveling libraries, as they are
called, will be sent to any school
district or other organization in the
Btate upon tbe filing of an application with the state librarian, Mrs.
Mary O. Spencer, Lansing, Michigan
and the fulfillment of the library requirements, which involves no expense, except the payment of freight
and cartage charges. The libraries
may be kept from three to six months
then returned and a new assortment
of books seoured.
The libraries are made up to suit
the needs* of the organization securing it. Those suitable for schools
are made up of books particularly
adapted to young people and the
fiction is of the best literature. The
formation of the habit of reading the
right kind of 'literature is the most
vital part of a pupil's education and
so the state makes. it possible for
every school to give its pupils the
opportunity of forming that habit.

A GAME STRUGGLE.
Lack of space this week forbids
any extended mention of the entertainment at the Congregational
church on Tuesday evening. Everything passed off very creditably and
all who participated did well. We
understand that the gross receipts
were about S30. The ladies of the
Union are to be congratulated upon
this success. We suspect that Rev.
Kennedy is entitled to no little credit
in the matter.

- Defeated at Shepherd..
One of the attractions at the two-
day celebration at Shepherd Tuesday
and Wednesday was tbe series of
two ball games between the teams of
Olare and Ithaca. Our, "joys., put up
a hard fight both timtes, but were
somewhat, outclassed, being beaten
by scores of 6-0 and 5-0. Jones who
pitched in the first allowed no hits
up to the eighth inning. Errors,
however were frequent, and Ithaca
had the better of several close plays.
Two 2-baggers and a home run at
tbis stage of the disease made the
chances look slim. White pitched
on Wednesday striking out eight
men, and giving only five hits. But
in spite of a changed line-up", a few
misplays helped to put the balance
on the wrong side of the ledger.
The boys were accorded good treat-,
ment, both games being good clean
exhibitions of the favorite national
pastime.

VOTES FOR WOMEN.
Lansing, Mich., August 17.—The
woman suffrage committee of the
State Grange, of which Miss Ida
Chittenden of this city is chairman,
and which has. headquarters in Lansing, is carrying on a Vigorous and
well organized campaign in the interest of suffrage for wemen. There are
already 360 grangers, representing all
but six* counties of the state, organized and working for woman suffrage, and it is believed that at the
present rate every one of the 900
granges of the state will be organized
and working by September 15.
Immediately after the state Grange
subscribed to carry on work for
woman suffrage and the committee
was appointed, the committee started to organize the granges, distribute
literature and prepare lists of taxes
paid by women of the Btate. This
last phase has demanded the greatest amount of work. Up to the present time they have secured records
from 56 counties, showing that 86,685
women pay taxes amounting to $23,-
155.266.42 on property assessed at
over $160,000,000.
ILLUSTRATED LECTURE
At Congregational  Church
Monday [Evening.
On
On Monday evening next, there
will be a lecture at the* above place
illustrated by stereopticon views
showing the character, productions,
scenery and development of northeastern Michigan. This will be of
interest to all,,' especially farmers.
Readers of the Sentinel have been
frequently-remindedpf the efforts the
Northeastern Michigan Development
Bureau is making to advertise this
section of the state- with the limited
resources at its disposal. .It has recently been running an "advertising
train" in other states, showing
samples of the productions at -this
section and in various ways seeking
to interest tho people of those states.
Yery likely we shall learn in this
lecture much concerning this work
and various other matters of interest.
The' entertainment is entirely free.
Farmers are especially urged to bs
present.
Card of Thanks,
go far as words «an express it, we
wish to thank all our friends and
neighbors for their sympathy and
great* kindness in our recent deep
bereavement. Especially do we
thank the choir for the* music and the
Gleaners for the beautiful flowers.
. Geo. Turbush and~*Family.
In California the women have cer
tainly taken hold of politics in dead
earnest-since they have been granted
the right of suffrage. Several elec-
tions "have been held in the state and
in all of them the women have shown
themselves quite aB capable of using
the ballot as the men. Indeed, it
may be said that they have shown
greater interest in political affairs
than the men.—J, S, Wilson, Mayor,
