SOHOOL OFFICERS
M MEETING
In Clare Wednesday Nov. 2.
Half The Rural Districts
Represented.
STATE SUPTWRIGHT
Conducts   Meeting   And   Tells
Officers About Their Rights
And Duties.
SURPRISE COMING
Watch  for Next   Week's Contest Announcement.
The legislature at the last session
provided for an annual meeting of
taehool officers at the call of the
«ohool commissioner, the purpose
being "consultation, advice and instruction." The law provides that
directors must attend such meetings
-while the other members of the
board may. This includes city
schools as well as rural. IS accordance with law a meeting was beld
last week Wednesday at the City
Hall conducted by State Supr..
"Wright. Onjy" one half of the 68
rural districts was represented. Tbe
townships of Franklin, Haye*, Hamilton and Sheridan failed to have a
single officer present. Others had
from 1 to 5, Hatton- being the only
town fully represented. P. A.
Bennett appeared for Glare, no one
showing up for Harrison.
' The meeting was quite informal,
the evident purpose of Supt. Wright
being to draw officers out and ascertain just where they needed instruction. From the stream of questions
from all sides it was evident that all
came seeking light. The looseness
With which business is transacted in
many districts was illustrated by
Mr. Wright; and officers warned that
they must obey the plain mandates
of the law. He expects at the next
session of the legislature to secure
some law that will better equalize
the burdens of school maintainattce.
When one district has sufficient primary money on hand to pay teachers
for 22 years, and another can barely
maintain school the time demanded
by law, something seems wrong.
Such meetings must certainly be
production of much good. As officers are paid for their attendance,
there would seem to be no reason
-why a larger number should not
avail themselves of such an opportunity for learning more concerning
their duties.
When the Sentinel started site
great contest for subscribers we did
not tell all about what was coming
later*, as we wish to Bpring some
pleasant surprise from time to time.
One of these was our announcement
two weeks ago of the watches and
other valuable presents to be given
away tomorrow. Next week we
will tell all about how this third
period contest came  out.
Next week apd every few weeks
until the end we shall have something entirely new and surprising to
offer. Get yonr work in shape so
that as soon as the Sentinel comes,
out next week you can get buBy
without any delay and earn some of
the handsome prizes offered. Some
one will get them, why not get your
share? Ootoe in or write us for a
Receipt book so you can be ready to
start out the minute you have read
tbe offer, or even before that, because we guarantee they will be
worth your best effort. The presents
are getting better all the while.
Jusd think! Three weeks ago one
of the girls got a handsome turquoise set gold ring for only about
two honrs' work. Many another
gi_l could have done as well. Some
of the girls are getting subscriptions
fr,om right in the-"neighborhood of
other contestants, simply by asking
for them.' Some girls are at or near
the top because tbey are working
hard, but no harder than any one
of them could, if they realized, fully
what a magnificent piano is at the
end of the struggle. We learned
recently that one of the best vote
getters of the oontest was way
over in the edge of Gladwin county
soliciting. Any girl that would make
a careful and thorough canvass right
here in Olare could go from the
bottom clear to the top in three
weeks in the piano contest, as well
as earn a number of tbe fine special
prizes. Why' not you? We'll help
you get started. There are enough
families within ten miles of Glare
not taking any paper to give a girl
50,000 votes. Wby not go after
them?   We'll   tell you where some
of them are.

BATTLE OF THE BALLOTS.
RESULTS IN
GLARE COUNTY
Republican     Make     Clean
Sweep in Spite of Stren-
uons  Opposition,.
VOTE ON SHERIFF CLOSE
Normal'  Republican    Vote   in
Clare ' County    increased
Nine Percent.
Elsewhere in this issue we present
a summary of the results of Tuesday's election in Michigan ' at large
and ia the various states. This matter was stereotyped Wednesday be,-
fore the later returns came in, and
should be read with these corrections: Osborn's plurality is nearer
46,000 than 52,000. Diekama, republican candidate for congress in the
fifth Mich gan district, is defeated
for reelection, as well as Denby of
the first. Also, the congress will be
democratic^with a strong working
margin. .
The results in Olare county from a
republican point of view is more satisfactory. It is s matter of gratification to local G. O- P. enthusiast that
in the face of republican losses elsewhere the party not only has held its
own and gave every state* and county
candidate a majority, but has actually gainexi 9 percent over  the   party
WHO WILL GET
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT
The publishers of the Sentinel are
in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Frank
P. Gray of Los Angeles, sister of E.
G. Welch and Mrs. E. A. White of
Glare, and'ehe herself a resident and
teacher here several years'. Besides
enclosing a renewal of subscription
for herself and casting 403 votes for
one of the young ladies in our piano
contest, she wrote very entertainingly of the Olare colony in Los Angeles
and of her own work.
While Mrs. Gray did not give us
permission to use any of her letter
we are sure she will pardon us for
quoting a few things from it that will
interest many of her friends here."
She writes: "Mr. and Mrs. • Bal-
linger [that is Frank, of course, were
over in their new auto Sunday. vMrs*
Pratt of Clare and sonj Farnham,
were here last week. We have quite
a Glare.colony here now. Alton
Burnham and family and Mr. Brodie,
and Mr. and Mrs. J. Scbi'ling live a
short car ride from tbe city, and
there are many more I could mention.
She also says, "I recently completed the Normal Teachers' Bible
Course of Study (a two year course)
and received my diploma. At the
annual election I was one of the
board df directors and have all press
correspondence to look after. I find
my previous newspaper work most
helpful. It takes time and influence
to get acquainted through the press
of a city of this size, 350,000."
Mrs. IGray also mentions many
other activities in which she is engaged, from which it lVeasy to see
that she is making herself very useful in her western home.
Tax Receipts
The Sentinel will be prepared to
furnish township treasurers with
tax receipts neatly bound and at a
reasonable price. Send us your
order soon.
Remember the closing out sale of
the Olare Hardware Go's, stock beginning November 16.
Why Eat Turkey at   Home.
Come and eat turkey with qs' for
60c, by leaving your name at the
Calkins House office by Monday,,
Nov. 21. 52-2
vote two years ago, a presidential
year at that. We figure it this way.
The total vote on secretary of state
Tuesday was-**7o % the total vote of
1908. As his plurality two years ago,
was 600, this year it should be 70% of
tbat or 420, As a-matter of fact it is
459, or a proportionate increase of
9%. '        ■
Osborn ran behind his ticket about
250 votes. A reference to the footings of the table presented herewith
will show bow the other candidates
fared, - and where they gained and
l0«t.
The contest oh' sheriff was particularly keen, there being several forces
at work to cut down  Sunday's vote.
In the table herewith presented
the stars indicate estimated vote.
Where no figures appear there were
no votes.
Dodds for Congress from this district will have about 10,000 majority.
Foster's majority for the state
senate will be several thousands.
Oummins will have about 1200 votes
over Dana for representative. '
In Isabella county tbe republicans
were successful, except that Samp
son for sheriff won over Bailey by
about 100 votes, and Keen beat out
Bowlader for clerk by about the
same margin. Isabella gave He-
man,s a plurality of about 200,
Thompson, democrat, elected mayor of Detroit, republicans getting the
other offices.
Northon for state representative
of Isabella made a fine run, but normal majority too much to over come.

MISS ALLEN NOW LEADS.
Next Week We Spring a
Offer,   Get   Ready
For It.
New
You will see by tho vote published below that Tuesday's state election was not the only, surprise of the
week. Do you note the change in
position of some of the contestants?
Last week through an oversight a
few of the papers were printed before
it was discovered that tbe contest
vote ba<H not been corrected .for 'the
week. "Perhaps you get hold^ of one
Of the patiere printed before the correct voteVas inserted. So all may
know* *ju8t\how matters were last
week and have a chance to compare
with this week we are printing the
vote for both weeks.
Notice that Miss Allen has moved
up into first place by a small margin.
Miss Wilson is close up to Miss
Keebler. Miss Weatherhead has
moved ahead of Miss LaPierre. Miss
Bradt has moved up to 6th place
from 8th. Other girls have advanced
some, and two new contestants have
got enough votes to get into our
special list.
Tomorrow evening we distribute a
lot more prizes to those who have
been bringing in. money on subscription. There are two 'handsome
watches besides jewel boxes and
rings. We do not know who will
get these, and we are just as much
interested and curious as any one
else. In tbe first place, quite a bit
of money will come in between the
publication of the vote below and 6
o'clock tomorrow night. Also, one
can not tell much by tbe way the
vote is in the paper as to who will
get the prizes, for the vote in the
paper represents money paid at the
office or sent by mail by subscribers
and credited to the girls on request,
while the special prizes are only for
money brought in personally by the
girls or by otbers working for the
prizes. That is, "if a subscriber
brings it in himself it counts on the
votes for the piano, but not on the
special prizes for some one else.
So it happens that some of the
girls in the piano contest are surprised at the number of votes added
to their record each week and wonder where tbey come from. These
votes are simply from some good
friends of theirs that vote them at
this office or send the money and
votes by mail. Some persons are
working for the special prizes lor
themselves and giving their piano
votes to one of the girls in the contest.
This  was  the  vote  at 4 o'clock
Thursday, Nov. 3rd.

Last Tuesday while working with *
a threshing crew at the farm of Al-
bert House west and south of Rosebush, Felix Lockwood   met with a
most   serious   accident,   something
that will render him a cripple for
life and nearly resulted fatally. f It -'
seems that in'some way one foot was
caught.in the feeder beater of the,,
-machine and tbe leg drawn in, liter?
ally, stripping tbe calf away:   ThoM
preaent   corded tbe leg to prevent
his bleeding to death till Dr. Johnson of -Rosebush   could reach   tho :
scene.
The leg was bound np and accom- *
panied by   his brother,    Dan,  and'*'
James Thrasher, he  was hurried to
the   hospital   at Ann   Arbor.   The"
latest report states that he is  comfortable and gives promise of recov-.
ery.   Mr.   Lockwood_ is just in tho*'
prime of life and naturally a healthy
man, bub of course was -Cary  much
weakened by the great loss of blood.
