np to G133.
Tho committee seem very confident tbat •with proper time to have
arranged exhibits, selecting out material lor the special entries for prem-
piums, they would have won a number raore of awards. *'Would have
Cleaned up if we had time" are the
words of one of the committee. One
of the judges suggested that. entries
should have been made for more
specials. The delay of the exhibit in
transit of course greatly hampered
the committee. The exhibit as arranged in a very limited time did not
do itself justice ,but when critically
examined measured np on merit.
In quality of wheat and some other
grains and in general meric of many
varieties of potatoes the county's
products ranked especially well, all
of which is most gratifying. The
winnings last year amounted to S138,
and tbis year 8133, which considering the handicap of this year is most
creditable to the county as it now is.

With 'out most iaBne tho Sentinel
beglna a Dtory to dopicfc the wonderful development of onr country along
the lina of invention. It is a story
written months before the incident
of tho sinking ship Republic and the
wiraleoQ raeasoge brought ships! to
the rescue and yet pretty faithfully
tells o similar incident with love as a
strong motive for it.
Tho Sentinel's stories portray some
phase of American'life. Justas''The
Man from Mississippi" pictured the
struggle in the U. S. senate and "The
Man from Home" the worthless nobility of Europe on the trail of American girls for their money so this new
story, uVia Wireless" vividly sets
forth our .wonderful advance in the
realm of science and invention.

Foi* some of our country schools there has been altogether too much air-
too good ventilation. But the pure air problem and proper heating Is a
vital one to our country schools. Who has not been toasted on one side
and frozen on the other in school? Too many also have spent too many
hours in school of 50 or 60 with the air pretty thick from being breathed
over a good many times.
Statistics Bhow that a very large per cent of tuberculosis is in the country—starting no doubt from colds due to wet feet and breathing poor air in
school.
But attention is now being given, to good air for the country school.
The diagram below represents one of the plans for heating and ventilating
a single room school.   It is the Jewell system.   As shown the  heater is to

Need of The Farm Lot Forestry All Over
Central Michigan.
At a meeting of the state Public
Domain commission, of which our"
townsman, A. J. Doherty, is chairman held last week first steps were
taken to formulate a general policy
of re- farestration.
In the first place it was agreed
that the forest reserves should be
located in counties ' north of the
Oseeo]a-01&r6-G'adw'n tier of counties. In the next place the principle
was laid down not to attempt to
establish large reserves in any of the
counties but Bimply to plant enough
young trees to furnish an object lesson to people and also furnish seedlings to individual land owners to
start beds of their, own, a general
plan approved by the state agricultural college authorities. It is alleged'
that under existing conditions with
the money available it is not now
practical to handle as big reserves
as are two of those already established 6x12 miles and another 6x6 miles.
It will be remembered that W. O.
Cornwell planted a goodly number of
seedlings on some of his land north
east of the city and he is well pleased with the progress made, the very
dry season last year killing only a
small-per cent of them. The fact is
this locality, needs attention to have
forestry. There are too tew home
wood lots, J. F, Tatman on a recent visit to Indiana was greatly impressed with their increased attention to the wood lot as compared with
this locality. The county here is bare
compared with south Michigan and
Indiana. Few seem to pay attention
to preservation of trees. Our climate
needs more trees, For beautiflng
the landscape too there should be
more trees. As a matter of finance
also there is need for the future to
give heed to the wood lot crop of
timber. There ought to be scores of
acres of wood lots in every township,
good shade trees around the farm
home yard and trees along the road
side. All of this cannot be achieved
at once for this is comparatively new
country, but there is need of intelligent action along the line of home
forestry.
State land has temporarily been
withdrawn from the market by the
commission pending the selection of
110,000 to 120, 000 rcres for the forest
reserve.
Fred Welch'and  Leonard Freeman of Fenton Purchase Two   '
Seqtions of Clare County  Land,
A deal was completed this week
by'which Fred Welch and Leonard
Freeman of Fenton become owners
of section 31 Hatton and 36 Lincoln,
purchased from Joseph Hudson and
Jas. McKay. Messrs. Hudson and
McKay took the first steps to develop tbis land, fencing it aad using
it for grazing. Of the new owners
one is in the farm produce business
and. tbe other president ot the teuton State Savings Bank.
They propose to stump and develop 100 acres near the siding' on
the Harrisn branch right away with
the purpose of establishing a stock
farm, .
• Mr, Welch said to the Sentinel in
Clare yesterday that he is very confident that Michigan is to be one of
the greatest dairy and fruit states
and of course reasons for increased
land values.

TiiaSirl From ilieU. S.'A.
"The Girl From U. S. A.,» at the
Park theater, made its first appearance Monday afternoon. The show
was attended by a large audience
both afternoon and night. The plot
is all about the adventures of "Jack,"
an American girl, and Richard Weston, a foreign correspondent of a
press association. They travel from
France to a Turkish harem, from Turkey to a Chinese palace in seeking to
save Jack's best friend, "Vivienne,"
whom the villains are trying to destroy.
David Nowlin, as Dick Weston, is a
most clever actor. His humor won
six or seven encores. Madyne Shsn-
hon as "Jack," is chic and winning.
She and Mr. Nowlin offered fetching
musical . humor when they sang
"Hypnotize Her."
Fred C. Reynalds, ns the Turkish
ambassabor to France« a perfect type
of villain, and Miss Carrie LeMoyne,
a villaineas, aro both good. They
succeedsd in producing hisses because of the unpopularity of their
roles.

"Jack's" beat Mend, and John
McN&mara as Lieut. Lindy, win the
favor of the audience with the • coagT

ALFALFA EXPERIMENTS.
Good Results Reported on At-
ward, Hudson -and Klemm
Farms North of Chy*
On the D. B. Alward farm in Grant,,
the Joseph Hudson- farm at Dovesr
and the Kleman ranch in Hatton experiments in growing alfalfa this*
season have proved so Batisfactory-
that in each case more will bo sown*,
next season.
Mr. Alward had a little leBa than,
an acre sown last year. This year'
the first cutting gave two tons and
the second one ton bnt at thai it;
is not well seeded. The crop, be*
says, needs especially good preparation of the land before planting as
it is for a number of years and not a,
mere yearly crop. It needs to be oa
land not flooded at any time during:-
the year. He regards it as the bay-
crop for productiveness.
On the Kl&man ranch,   says   S~
Milan in charge there, three acres. 9
were sowed this season to alfalfa a^id
from the first cutting three tons were=
realized.
Mr, Hudson has several little plate,
of alfalfa, about two acres ia  all,
which he says pretty much keep 50*
hogs.   He is increasing the area.

Our county of Olare has been and

Times are getting awful good itt
this county. A person can hardly
