City Schools in Readiness  for
Another Year of Successful Work.
The sound of the school bell next
Monday morning will be welcome
indeed to parents as well as to many
children after the slong vacation.
Supt, Roode says everything is ready
for the year's work and seems expectant of making a record, the
equal of the past year which- admittedly was the most successful in the
history of the school.
Five new teachers appear in the
teaching corps, in first, second, fifth,
eighth grades and high school prin1
cipal. The work is divided as
follows,—J. Q. Roode, superintendent, physics and chemistry, Margaret Cameron of Traverse Oity, English andhistory; Miss Josephine Ward-*
of Charlotte, languages; Geo. Ehrhardt, 8th grade and some high school
work; seventh grade, Miss Harriet
McGraham of Mt. Pleasant; sixth
Miss Myrtle Fulmer of North Bra°d-
ley; fifth Miss Rose Thorborn of Holt;
fourth, Miss Adelaide Arnold of
Mt. Pleasant; third, Miss Cora
Shafer- second, Miss Kate Miller;
first, Miss Florence Wall of Detroit.
No radical changes are proposed.
The work will be* intensified along
the old lines. There were sixty-four
in high school at the close of last
ydar out of seventy-five enrolled during year. With fifteen graduates
last year and 22 8th graders promoted
besides some who will return to resume high school work, will give
probably the highest enrollment yet
reached in the high school. Last
year there were twenty-six nonresident pupils, the largest in the
history of the school, which number
is expected to be increased this year.
The recent census shows 478 persons of school age in the district, a
slight falling off from last year.
One of the good signs is the energy
of purpose of some of the boys and
girls in the high school. A number
there were who practically earned
their way and kept up their school
work last year. Others are making
plans for the same thing this year.
This spirit of self-help is indicative
of right influences among the young
people.
Horsi
Sunday afternoon as Marshal Ding-
man was earing for the horses in
Gnss Adams' livery, lie was kicked to
unconsciousness by a horse which
had been left at the feed barn. Mr.
Dingman is a man np in the 60's and
has been here but a few days, coming from Mt. Pleasant. He was hit
at least seven times on the head, Dr.
F. M. Gray having stitched several
scalp wounds. The skull was cracked over his left eye. The old man
will recover, but will doubtless never
get over the .results of the injuries.
Oscar Bouck returned from the
hospital at Saginaw Monday after
having undergone an operation for
appendicitis. Though his life was
saved, his condition is still somewhat serious.
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Bauder of
Grant spent last week visiting their
daughters in Saginaw.
For Clare  County  Shipped  to
State Fair at Detroit Monday.
The exhibit from Clare county for
the state fair gathered last week, is
in the opinion of the committee,
Messrs. Jackson, Kelley and Hamer,
for much of it three weeks behind4n
development of what it was last year.
That is crops are late owing to the
backward spring and fruit and vegetables are far from maturity. But
even at that the collection is a very
creditable one. Other counties have
the same conditions. The committee
themselves went out into the fields,
and made selections of samples so
that as in the past the exhibit is an
honest one. Most of the townships
are represented in the exhibit, including Hamilton and Franklin in
the northeast and Garfield in the
southwest.
Three thousand pamphlets illustrated with nineteen cuts of barns, farm
homes, etc., are taken for distribution. This'in keeping with what hap
been done for the past three years.
But it contains few new features not
covered before. In fact the reading
matter, nearly all of it, is exactly the
the same as last year. It does seem
that having so well dpne all the rest
the most important part for booming
the county, the pamphlet for advertise
ing the county, should be given more
careful attention instead .of leaving
it until the last few weeks and then
rush the photographer out to make
views at a few near by farms. There
is no reason why for ■% few extra
dollars a systematic effort should not
be made to represent the resources
and possibilities of the county. This
is a matter that, vitally concerns
the county.
The committee have done yeoman
service during the past four years.
Ali honor to them. The exhibit this
year is most creditable. Good will
come to the county whether or no we
win any premiums.    -
Bidpafli Won Haee.

In both races the winners were

ire
to do lout If?
You must decide soon what line of
harness you're going to buy this
coming season. You can do it with
McCambley lihe, and why? because
they are correctly proportioned and
graded with extreme evenness, each
and every stray cut from the right
place in the hide and put in the right
place in our harness to give them
strength. No guess work about it.
They will wear like iron. That's
why we say when in doubt buy of
McCambley and get the benefit of
almost half a century's experience in
making good harness. Our cutters
are not butchers. You will know
that the minute you see any of our
goods and isn't it worth something?
You are buying harness that you
need not make over "when you get
them. I have twenty-five hundred
weight of coats, robes and blankets
just in, I have a nice stock of 5A
horse blankets. John McCambley,

In Memory of Little Dale Freed
Thou art gone, our darling- baby boy;
And oh I   how sad and lone,
How very still and desolate,
Our home since thou art gone.
Oh Dale-, how very hard it seems.
We miss thee everywhere.
When we gather round the board
There's a little empty chair.
We miss the patter of little feet /
And the sound of the baby voice
And the little life that gladdened us
And made our hearts rejoice.
But, Dale, we will not grieve for thee,
But calmly trust our God
Who gave his only son for us,
For us tbe wine press trod.
"I take these little lambs," said he
"And lay them in my breast
Protection they shall find in xne,
In me be ever blest"
It must be sweet in childhood's years
Ere the little feet hath trod,
The paths of sin and -wickedness
That lead away from God
To give the spirit back to him
Who gave it first its breath,
To sweetly fold the little hands
And close the eyes in death.
Death is tho door that opens life
A life of endless bliss,
Where pain nor sickness never came,
A better life than this.
Thou never wilt return to us
But we may go thee
And even dwell at God's right hand
Throughout eternity.
In just a few days or years,
The time we cannot tell,
We'll join thee in that happy home.
Till then dear heart, farewell.
