Supt. Roode has purchased for the
schools a series of valuable pictures
which the school board has ordered
framed and they Will take their place
in the various rooms as fitting reminder of the man who for many
years has been longest at the head of.
the schools. They are selections
from what the critics term real art
and will be a nucleus for others of
similar art value as helping create
the best possible school environment.
This seems to be glare's0 most
memorable school year, the graduating cjass being the largest in the
history of the school. Indications
too are that when school assembles
in September the high school will
have passed the 100 mark, showing
rapid growth of the educational Idea
in our midst.

Offers $10.00 Reward for
Evidence to Comvic** for
Turatag in Same,
In a few dayo there have been • two
falsa aiarniG' turned In to the fire department? one from Seventh street
and another from McEwan and
Fourth sQtreet crossing. The city
offers G10 reward for evidence to con-
viot such miscreant. A. R. Oanfield,
chief of the fire department, speaks'
out plainly thus:
"The repeated turning in of false
alarms-of fire, has made It necessary
to adopt severe measures to stop the
practice. The simple breaking of the
glass in the boxes by accident will
not cause an alarm, as the lever
must be pulled hefore the bell will
strike. It is therefore evident that
the alarms turned in without cause
have been malicious, and I shall
cause the arrest of tho fittest person
apprehended. It is not only expensive for the city but disastrous to the
maintainance of discipline in the
department, and must be stopped."
' CURE LIQUOR SALES
Record from  Friday to Friday
Shows Increasing Thirst.
The record below shows increase of
liquor sales. Few people, however,
seem to go to more than one drug
store. These 107 sales are small- in
comparison, not half enough to keep
one saloon, but they show demand
for liquor:

happened along at that time, where

Party of 48 Business Men Spend
an Hour in the City, One of
45 Mich. Towns Visited.
On a special train of four Pullmans
48 Olevelanders representing some 75
million dollars of annual business
came up the Ann Arbor railroad yesterday stopping at Mt. Pleasant,
Olare and Farwell.
A committee of 12 business men
appointed by Mayor Mulder was at
the depot to meet these gentlemen
from the hustling city of the southern
extremity of the Great Lakes. They
were escorted around town, visiting
the various lines of business in which
they have special interest and expressing commendation for Clare's
stores and general appearance.
Nearly all of the party are young
men, evidently in the prime of ambitious manhood, and representing a
large amount capital, show in this
practical way their desire to expand
their home city of Cleveland. A neat
little booklet giving the itenery of
the trip starting from Cleveland Sunday night to their return tomorrow
evening gives an inkling of enterprise with one or two Views of many
points visited including two of Clare.
EIGHTH GRADE EXERCISES.
Educational Inspirations Held at
paisley School House, Maple
Grove and Colonville. u
The state eighth grade graduating
exercises held at the Balsley school
house Friday evening were an inspiration, especially to the pupils in the
grades below the , eighth. Rev.
Joseph Switzer gave the invocation,
Miss Ellen McNamara rendered two
violin solos with organ accompaniment by Miss Agnes Hawlfy, Mies
Ellen McNamary rendered a most
pleasing reading, Rev. Quinton
Walker gave an inspiring address,
Rev, Joseph Switzer presented diplomas to George A. Arndt, Ina Balsley
Wilhelmina Fischer, and B. Fischer
pronounced the benediction, ipsa
Inez McOoHum, the teacher, is a
rural Normalite and her teaching has
been, most effective. As a whole the
exercises were of a high order.
The exercises given at'the Maple
Grove school Friday evening were a
combination of school program and
class day exereies. Our Maple Grove
correspondent gives a very creditable
write-up in another column of this
issue,
The Colonville, Eagle and Pratt
schools united in holdinglhejr exercises at the Colonville church Wednesday evening, Mrs, W. F. Olute
rendered a piano solo, Rev. Quinton
Walker gave the invocation, Norris
Elden sang a solo, Miss Ethel Oudney beautifully rendered a vocal solo-,
"Dreaming of Sweet Lilies of the
Valley." Prin. Ohas. T. Grawn, the
speaker of the evening was introduced by Oomr. E. G. Welch. Mr.
Grawn's 25 or 30 years experience in
teaching has given him a ripe experience, and his address was so forceful as to* be indelibly impressed up
the minds of the crowded house
which was in attendance. He didn't
shoot over the heads of his audience;
he shot straight at their hearts, ami
hit the mark. R. V. Rule, the Colonville teacher, presented the diplomas
in a few well chosen remarks. Alice
Roe, Rex Carrier and Glenn Strouse
of Colonville, Ralph E. Teall of the
Eagle and Fern E. Stanley and Ivah
Johnson Of the Pratt school were the
candidates who received diplomas.
As a whole the exercises were most
inspiring and helpful, and the influence upon the school boys and girls
will be most helpful.

SENATOR EUGENE FOSTER
is provided for who shall have control of all state lands, all present
forestry commission matters, stream
protection, forest fires protection,
forest reserve and forest, interests.
Provision is made for investigating,
present state lands, appraising an€ ,
selling such lands as  "can Jbe used
for agricultural purposes and it may
cause such lands as   are   unfit for
agricultural purposes to be used for
forestry reserve purposes"—no less-
than 200,000 acres to be set aside for
forestry reserve at any time.    They
also "have power to provide that all -
homestead applications shall contain
a provision which will make it a part
of the contract with the state that a ■
certain number of acres of each forty '
acres homesteaded shall be set aside
for an   individual    forest   reserve.'
Said commission may also   require
the commissioner of tbe state land
office to work in conjunction with the'
board of supervisors of the several
counties of the state for the purpose
of disposing of state lands suitable
for agricultural purposes to settlers
either by homestead entry or otherwise."   Lands along water courses •■
shall contain a clause reserving the
rights of ingress and egress* across '
them.   In sale of state lands same
shall be at county seats whenever
practicable.   After ten days following such sale the county treasurer of
the county in question shall be furnished a list of all unsold lands and
appraised price and similar report of- •
lands sold each month.     These reports shall be at the treasurer's' officei
where the public may have free access to them.
All of the above provisions are in-
the main from the standpoint of the
affected districts and will give
reasonable opportunity to work out
practical foiestry from the standpoint of north Michigan herself.
Clare county has but four percent of
state land and is not affected to any
great extent but this reasonable law
is ample evidence of how' effectively
Senator Foster has safeguarded the
interests of his constituents of the
Twenty-eighth districts.
