•Very Light Vote in Clare and
Isabella Counties.
Only about twenty per cent of the
voters turned .out Tuesday to vote under the new primary election law. In
fact the vote was about the sameas at
usual caucuses In Olare there were
ninety-eight votes cast and practically everybody voted in favor of the
new law, In Hatton ten votes were
cast; in Vernon sixty-eierht; in Sheridan 41; in Arthur 23; in Grant 56 In
other townships the vote w.as in the
same proportion,
The delegates elected will meet in
county convention for the respective
counties at Harrison and Mt. Pleasant, the republicans next Monday and
the democrats next Tuesday. Delegates are about the same as those usually-chosen at caucuses, Full list of
delegates next week.
enafurizeti Alcohol.
Editors Sentinel.—Our Mt. Yernon
Grange has taken an active interest in
the law for admitting denaturized
alcohol free of duty and I suppose we
were practically all pleased because of
its enactment. However, I discovered a few days ago that one of the reputed leaders, who but a little while
ago favored the then proposed law, is
engaging in his customary stunt of
kicking against it. According to him
we farmers will'now have to work
from three o'clock In the morning
till twelve o'clock at night to raise
stuff enough to keep the alcohol
business going.
Such senseless nonsense! To think
that because denaturized alcohol is to
be admitted free of duty and made
available for engines, etc , as a competitor against gasoline, now fourteen
cents a gallon, will entail burdens on
the farmer passes my comprehension.
Will some of our grange leaders please
explain, and when they make their
explanation will they kindly tell us
why this change of attitude? When
the bill was first talked of they were
all for it. 2fow that a republican
congress has passed it, why thischange
of heart?
Yours for Consistency,
Wm. Duncan.

Things change. Away back in the
years It was anything but fashionable
In most communities for teachers to
trip the toe fantastic. But now it
transpires that this accomplishment
is a part of a Normal school education,
At least there was a brilliant assemblage of elegantly gowned young ladies
and gentlemen and their guests including some from Michigan's oldest
Normal at YpsiJanti, at the fourth
annual ball of a Greek letter society

Several ot the Normal faculty graced
the occasion with their presence as
spectators.
117,000 POUNOS WOOL.
Valuable   Product Marketed at
frbm 25 to 30 Cents a Pound.
The bulk of the wool of this vicinity has been marketed, bringing to
our farmers the sum of some $30,000
and more, On the whole the wool
market has pot been as good as last
year but the product Is some 20000
pounds more. Information at hand is
to the effect that very little money
has'been made by the wpol buyers
this year as the competition has been
keen, the margins close and market
sagging.
Approximate figures gleaned show
75,000 pounds marketed at Olare, 30,000
at Rosebush and 12,000 at Farweli.
In addition to this some was purchased by outside buyers. In Clare the
following have been in wool business:
Burch & Wyman Grain Co., Wolsey
& High, W. Lee and Geo. Shunk.

It is now promised that the new
county solid rurual free delivery will
go into effect about July 1st. The recommendations of Inspector Roberts
are being overhauled, The new inspector at work in the county held a
conference of postmasters last week.
A reduction of five carriers from the
number previously planned is in order.
Consequently all the other routes are
to be rearranged and that is the work
the new inspector is doing. It is
figured that cutting out these five
carriers and abolishing certain star
routes where carriers can cover the
ground, about 35000 per year will be
saved.

SAVED FROM DROWNING.
Ten Year Old Glen Schoonover
Rescued by his Playmates.
Last Saturday a number of boys
were in swimming at the deep hole
just below the Callam & Cornwall
electric plant dam northeast of the
city when Glen, the son of Aid. and
Mrs. Clinton "Schoonover, got beyond
his depth. He could paddle around in
the water, like many other boys, but
in his struggle to get to safety at
once got so excited that he forgot all
about the art of swimming and went
to the bottom more than once. His
companions, however, hastened to
the rescue and Frank Jackson and
Gordon Johnson each got pulled down
below the surface but finally through
the efforts of these two with Edward
James and Will Hawkins, the boy
was taken out of the water in an insensible condition, Applying some of
their school acquired knowledge of
how to resuscitate a person in such a
case, the boys in a short time
brought their patient to and it was a
happy father and mother at the
Schoonover home that evening that
rejoiced in knowing their boy preserved to them.
Mr. and Mrs. Schoonover desire the
Sentinel to express their appreciation of the boys' bravery in saving
from drowQing their son, Glen.
The lesson, to? oft repeated, is one
to be heeded by boys, warning those
who cannot in reality swim, not to go
beyond their depth.
