Miss Katy Lou Clay, in declamation, gave a very good resume of the
novel, "Acres of Diamonds." Miss
Betty Harwood, in vigorous style,
gave her oration, and Luther Dicks
reviewed the life of Theodore Roosevelt, from childhood up.
All agreed that the young people
acquitted themselves well.

Mrs. Wilma Briggs, recreation leader,

presented at a later meeting.
■ In the" afternoon Mrs. Russell,
county leader, gave an interesting
talk, which was enjoyed by all.
The next lesson is food for the
farm family. Leaders, Mrs. Hazel
Scudder and Mrs. Agnes Osborne.
And Didl Her Face Get Red?
I am told a story of a kind-hearted
lady who picked up an old man and
gave him a lift in her car. As they
drove along, the traveller, sitting
hunched forward in the back seat,
presented a most threatening picture
in the rear view mirror. The lady,
regretting the indiscretion of having
given him a lift, drove about two
miles and then had a happy thought.
She would drive into the next farmyard and announce that was as far
as she was going. This she did, telling her passenger that she was stopping at a friend's. With a puzzled
look the man alighted from the car
and said "Thank you for the lift,
Madam. You have taken me right
to my door. Do come in."—Elk

The body of Chester Covell, of Tecumseh, was found dead in the home
of his brother-in-law, Vern Anderson, at noon last Friday, with four
bullet wounds near the left side of
his heart, and a revolver near by. The
Anderson's were both employed and
not at home when the shooting occurred. From a note found later, indicated a clear case of suicide. Covell
was 34 years of age and leaves a
widow and a ten year old daughter.
For some time past they have been
residing in a tenant house on one of
the Ford farms east of Tecumseh.—

I REMEMBER WHEN—
I remember when there was a toll
gate at the corner where the Bowen
house now stands. Later it was
moved farther down on the Ypsilanti
road, just beyond the Isbell farm.
There was also another toll gate between that one and Ypsilanti.

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
SPORTS NEWS
Paul Mann, Sports Editor
Last week the Class C schools held
I the annual tournament with North-
jville going to the regional tourna-
! ment. It so happened that Saline
! drew Belleville and was eUminated
the first evening. The Saline team
put up a good fight until the end
and never showed falling off. Belleville came to Ypsilanti with a much
better ball club than they brought
to Saline, with the addition of a
couple' of new men in. the lineup.
The other games also were very interesting. - Romulus lost a very hard
fought battle to Roosevelt while the
high-strung U High team lost to
Northville, who were a bunch of experienced ball handlers. Lincoln also
lost to St. ThorAas.
On the second night Belleville lost
to Roosevelt while St. Thomas was
defeated by Northville. In the finals
Northville defeated Roosevelt and
now they go to the regional tournament March 12, 13 and 14.
There also is a tournament this
week between the classes in school.
Tlie Sophomores defeated the Seniors
in a very close battle and the Juniors
conquered the Freshmen by a rather
lop-sided score. The second night of
the series saw the Sophomores lose
a very close battle to the Juniors,
the score being 20 to 19. The Juniors
now play the pick of the school.
At noon periods a new sport has
been introduced, softball, in the gym.
The classes have their teams organized and tlie games are coming along
nicely, with much enthusiasm.
Why the Boys Leaj£ f<fte Farm
* "*'. *
"Why did you leave the farm, my
lad?
Why did you bolt and leave you dad?
Why did you beat it off to town
And turn your poor old, father down ?
Thinkers of platform, pulpit, press,
Are wallowing in deep distress; .
They seek to know the liiddenxcause
Why farmer boys desert theiirpjpas.''
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES
By Charles Collins, Feature Editor
Says the Farmer Boy
"Well, stranger, since you've been so
frank,
I'll roll aside my hazy bank—
The misty cloud of theories
And tell you where the trouble lies:
I left my dad, his farm, his plow.,
Because my calf became his cow;
I left my dad—'twas wrong of course,
Because my colt became his horse;
I left my dad to sow and reap
Because my lamb became his sheep;
I dropped my hoe and, stuck my fork
Because my pig bee&fcia his pork;
The garden truck that I made grow
Was his to sell and mine to hoe."

the age of 89.
Mr. Jerry was born in England on
May 3, 1846. His wife, Mahala Dell,

and there are no immediate relatives

Mr. Jerry was a very good citizen,
well liked by all who had the pleasure of "his acquaintance, and the world
is better for his having lived so long
and busy a life. The p*ast few years
he has not been able to be up town
much and few will realize for a time
that he is no longer with us.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the Dietiker

Miss Katy Lou Clay, in declamation, gave a very good resume of the novel, "Acres of Diamonds." Miss Betty Harwood, in vigorous style, gave her oration, and Luther Dicks reviewed the life of Theodore Roosevelt, from childhood up. All agreed that the young people acquitted themselves well.

After the lesson was given, Mrs. Wilma Briggs, recreation leader, gave out the parts to a play tor be presented at a later meeting. ■ In the" afternoon Mrs. Russell, county leader, gave an interesting talk, which was enjoyed by all. The next lesson is food for the farm family. Leaders, Mrs. Hazel Scudder and Mrs. Agnes Osborne. And Didl Her Face Get Red? I am told a story of a kind-hearted lady who picked up an old man and gave him a lift in her car. As they drove along, the traveller, sitting hunched forward in the back seat, presented a most threatening picture in the rear view mirror. The lady, regretting the indiscretion of having given him a lift, drove about two miles and then had a happy thought. She would drive into the next farmyard and announce that was as far as she was going. This she did, telling her passenger that she was stopping at a friend's. With a puzzled look the man alighted from the car and said "Thank you for the lift, Madam. You have taken me right to my door. Do come in."—Elk Rapids Progress. Observer Liners sure get results.

The body of Chester Covell, of Tecumseh, was found dead in the home of his brother-in-law, Vern Anderson, at noon last Friday, with four bullet wounds near the left side of his heart, and a revolver near by. The Anderson's were both employed and not at home when the shooting occurred. From a note found later, indicated a clear case of suicide. Covell was 34 years of age and leaves a widow and a ten year old daughter. For some time past they have been residing in a tenant house on one of the Ford farms east of Tecumseh.— Clinton Local.

Later it was moved farther down on the Ypsilanti road, just beyond the Isbell farm. There was also another toll gate between that one and Ypsilanti. Contributed by Mrs. Stella Warner. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES SPORTS NEWS Paul Mann, Sports Editor Last week the Class C schools held I the annual tournament with North- jville going to the regional tourna- ! ment. It so happened that Saline ! drew Belleville and was eUminated the first evening. The Saline team put up a good fight until the end and never showed falling off. Belleville came to Ypsilanti with a much better ball club than they brought to Saline, with the addition of a couple' of new men in. the lineup. The other games also were very interesting. - Romulus lost a very hard fought battle to Roosevelt while the high-strung U High team lost to Northville, who were a bunch of experienced ball handlers. Lincoln also lost to St. ThorAas. On the second night Belleville lost to Roosevelt while St. Thomas was defeated by Northville. In the finals Northville defeated Roosevelt and now they go to the regional tournament March 12, 13 and 14. There also is a tournament this week between the classes in school. Tlie Sophomores defeated the Seniors in a very close battle and the Juniors conquered the Freshmen by a rather lop-sided score. The second night of the series saw the Sophomores lose a very close battle to the Juniors, the score being 20 to 19. The Juniors now play the pick of the school. At noon periods a new sport has been introduced, softball, in the gym. The classes have their teams organized and tlie games are coming along nicely, with much enthusiasm. Why the Boys Leaj£ f |
