Clare Dealers are 0. K, for
Most Part,.
"'The Wise Farmers' club meetingab
Av. Quinton Walker's inClare Tuesday gave- free expression to the opin-
ioKthatOlftre merchants, generally
apeaMng, are reasonable in their
prices and fair in the .treatment of
captojnatB aud that it is, for mutual
benefit of country and town that m.
much business m "possible be done,
here rather than through catalogue:
houses, Tbe catalogues have proved
a good check on local dealers cutting
oat unreasonable prices" but the reason for out of town buying has disappeared except in a few cases, it
was unreasonable prices in the past
that brought out of town buying.
There is still an occasional merchant
that needs watching.
farmers most emphatically agreed
that they are glad to see Olare grow,
for With its growth their land all increases in value. Clare compares
very favorable with surrounding
towns in prices of local-merchants.

President—P, M, Loomis.    >

sympathy.

Temple saloonists are doing all in
their power'to- get liquor into tbis
county and every day or two the Ann
Arbor unloads a bunch of drunks at
this station. The railroad company
disobeys the laws in taking them a-
bosrd at Temple, the saloonist disobey the laws in taking them up and
the Olare county officials are negligent in their duty in allowing ouch
•wholesale violations. Those who are
responsible for this, ring the bell for
their own |nnera.l every time the acts
occur. Jt is sueh disregard that made
loe.il option possible in Michigan and
it Is a continuance of the practice by
such ^lootsists as those at Temple
that will bring: statewide prohibition.

COUNTED §r WA&WlCKm.
The Countess of Warwick, who, with her husband, the Earl of Warwick,
is coming to America, Is prominently identified with the woman suffrage
movement in Europe, and is regarded as a strong ally of the radical element
In England, with leanings to Socialism. It is said that her object in coming
to the United States will be to study labor conditions, a subject in which she
is keenly Interested. ■
But
in due time somehow" it became advisable to utilize Citizen Tatman's
experience and 'phone message fairly entreated him to go to the rescue.
He went and didn't consult his supervisor either. Now it is in order
for the "third ward supervisor boss"
as he enjoys being called, to treat. .

The right reverend Quinton Walker hath both won and lost a championship during his two months residence in Clare.   His moving into the
Methodist parsonage was simultaneous with  the first falling leaves of
autumn.   Scarcely was the home settled when valiantly he seized a rake
and in due time had removed every
last dead leaf from church and parsonage lawn.    Next morn   ruthless
winds had again carpeted  the same
spots witb still more beautifully dead
leaves from neighbors' lawns.    Undismayed again he repeated the raking.   Thus the contest went on. between the preacher and Boreos, the
god "of the  winds.    True he ocea^

The Worrell Who Lets A  Man
Own HSs Soul is Blessed.
The woman who understands the
art of letting a man alone is a wise,
woman, says Anne Rittenhodse ia
The Designer for December. She
treats him as a rational being, with
equal rights to work out his own life*
as "she has. If she thinks he i&wsrong^
she persuades him into another way
wifh more subtle art than many kings*
use in coercing a prime minister.
If he wishes to walk alone in the
afternoon or evening, hammering oub
some scheme in his own mind, or refreshing himself by solitude, apart
from things that make him think, she
is acquiscent. And, mind you, she
does not acquiesce moodily, with a
question, spoken or unspoken, as to*
what she has done that be does not
care for her company. She cheerfully nods her perfect understanding:
of his wishes and desires. She, toov
often wants to be-alone, although sh»
may love this man more than all the
other things in the world combined,
and he has always let her be when,
the mood was upon her.
To s^m it all up in a phrase that
Americans understand: she treats
him as though she were another man.
There are moments for love, emotion and sentiment, but she understands that there are thousands of
other moments when two humans,
who must be together most of tbe
time, must treat each other as if the;"*"-
were of the same sex.
