Junior Banquet to Seniors and
Teachers Inaugurates the
Closing Festivites of the
School Year,
Seniors in Turn Banquet the Juniors at
the Home of Mrs. D. E. Ahvard,
The month of roses and sweet girl
graduates was fittingly welcomed
when the junior banquet to the
seniors last Thursday evening was
continued over to the wee small hours
of the first of June. The classic
spirit was again resurrected and will
continue to be manifest, though not
incarnated in mortar board and gown,
till the sheep skins are presented the
six seniors on Commencement day
June 22d.
The banquet was held at the home
of Mrs. J. D. Allen on Seventh street
east and was worthy of the class of
'07. The rooms were beautiful creations with class colors and plants
and flowers in lceepiog with the occasion. Above a window in the music
room was the seinor motto, "Per
Asper ad Astera" and in this room
and in the dining room senior colors
of white and green in smilax and
carnations were skilfully woven in
the effect. In the reception room
and on the veranda the junior colors
were modestly draped while hidden
in a quiet corner was the delightful
punch bowl.
A three course luncheon was served
and with President Geo, Erhardt as
toastmaster a number of toasts were
responded to including "Gray Hair,"
"The Senator's Wire," and "The
Boys.." The guests included the six
senidrsand the entire corps of teachers.
The class of '07 number twelve but
prefer to have their names surpressed
till next year when by the addition of
one member from Harrison „they expect to be the lucky thirteen.
The festivity was further continued
when Tuesday evening the seniors
banqueted the juniors and hierli school
teachers at tbe home of Miss Hazel
Alward.
On the beautiful lawn the tables
were spread and there in the charm
ing June evening with Japanese lanterns and class colors and flowers here
and there telling of the occasion, the
guests sat down to the repast and
there too in merry mood the juniors
and teachers toasted the '06's with
President Harold Clark doiDg the
honors as toastma-ter. The evening
was a most auspicious one, a fitting
complement to the other event of
similar character.
One incident of the evening is deplored by many. Under some pretext
the senior toastmester was called
away and kidnapped by a number of
fellows. He put up such a stiff Qght
that his new suit of clothes was soiled
not a little, but after an hour he returned and took his place as toast
master. Evidently it was expected
to take him away without a struggle
and eo it didn't, all turn out just as
designed. But in general it is the
sentiment of the community thai
Clare wants no aping of University
fracases by the young people of our
high school.
Two Bears in One Trap.
About two weeks ago, John T. Lau-
don caught another large black bear
in a trap up near Lake George, and
when he came away set the trap
again, and Clarence Bailey who has
charge of the Estee farm was to
watch it. For the first few days
nothing happened, but on going to
the trap one morning last week Mr.
Bailey found two bears in it, one a
large fellow about five years old, the
other a young one about 15 months
old. The two had been caught by a
rear foot and had dragged the trap
about 80 rods, the young bear being
dead, killed by the old one, but both
still fast in the trap. Mr. Bailey soon
dispatched the old bear, and brought
the two down to Shepherd. The two
bears had evidently started to enter
the A shaped log enclosure at the
entrance to which the large steel trap
was set, the bait being placed just
beyond; just why they didn't spring
the trap with their fore feet, as they
entered the enclosure is a mystery,
but they didn't, one being caught by
the right and the other by the left
hind foot.—Mt. Pleasant Courier.
TwesifTwere Confirmed.
At the confirmation services at the
St. Henry's church in Vernon last
Thursday, in charge of Bishop
Richter of Grand Rapids, about
500 people witnessed twenty children
and young people pledge themselves
to the church. Many were the visitors and numerous were the teaaas,
almost everywhere, Mt. Pleasanb,
Clare, Harrison, Coleman and Midland
were represented among the guests.
The ladies Of the church served dinner on the lawn, The day was a
memorable one for the parishoners of
St. Henry's church and Rev. Fr.
O'Conneil.	
When the oaby talks it is time to give
Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea,
It's the greatest baby medicine
known to loving mothers. It makes
them eat, sleep and grow. 35 cents,

It's up to the People to Exercise
their Right under the Prim-
.   ary Election.
The new primary election law goes
into actual effect .next Tuesday when
those who have complied with the enrollment requirement have the opportunity of voting on a number of propositions. In Clare and Isabella
counties the following question will
be voted on:
1. Shall governor and lieutenant
governor in the future be nominated
by direct vote?
2. The nomination of republican
candidates for governor andlieutenant
governor and the nomination-of a
democrat candidate for governor.
3. Shall republicans in the future
nominate candidate for Congress by
direct vote? <
4. The election of delegates to
county conventions.
This election will be conducted in
the same manner and by the same
officers as the regular April and November elections, It has been said
that the people are not at all interested in making nominations and that
chere will be about the same vote
next Tuesday as those who usually
turn out to caucuses. There has been
a very nearly full enrollment of republicans in Clare and Isabella while
the democrats also have a very respectable percentage of their voters
enrolled. It remains for the people
to assert their interest in making
nominations by participating in the
primaries next Tuesday.

Second   Important   Meeting   at
Duncan's Hall next Wednesday Evening.
The moyement now on to build up
the labor employing Intersts of the
city finds a unarainous sentiment in
its favor among all classes. The
meeting at Duncan's hall, mentioned
last week, brought out fully two-
hundred citizens representative of the
various interests of the city, and the
discussions showed many of our leading citizens deep In the study of the
problem. Two particular ideas found
expression:
Mayor Benner put forth the plan of
raising $10,000 by subscriptions, nob
more than thirty per cent of which to
be paid in during any one year. The
subscribers to this fund would incorporate and elect directors to whom
would be given power to determine
bonuses for a given industry, etc.
Such was the general plan put forth.
O. W. Perry, however, raised the
question of whether it is better to
give bonuses to get some establishment to move to Olare or to build up
industries by concerted effort right
in our midst.
Mayor Benner was chairman and
Dr. F. R. Gray secretary. A commi-
tee, J. A. Jackson, S. C. Kirkbrlde
and J. W. Calkins, was appointed to
solicit subscriptions, to report at the
next meeting. This committee will
have something to say at the next
Wednesday evening meeting and
everybody at all interested in Olare
and her future should be there.

Big Sale of Glare Go, Lands.
The big list of lands now running

minimum value. Such lands, on
which prices are nob offered at least
as much as the appriser's figures,
will not be sold but many afterwards
be sold privately. These lands have
been open to priyate sale, some of
them for two or three years, eyer
since they were, under act of the
legislature, withdrawn from the delinquent tax list and deeded over to
the state.
There are differences of Opinion as
to what, is the best to be done with
these lands but at least it is an advantage that they are withdrawn from
the expensive delinquent tax list and
with titles cleared up are now offered
to the general public for sale. There
is no good reason why residents of the
county should nob post themselves on
the value Of these lands and buy the
many valuable areas.
