J, H. Martin the thrashing machine
man, interested by the D, E. Alward
artiole in these columns on our * farm
resources, discovered significant facts
amplying the claims of-, farm wealth
But a few years aj-'u Mr. Martin
owned the only clover huller in the
territory where now there are seven.
But evea this year, dry season as it
was, he has thrashed close to 1000
bushels of clover seed. But clover is
only a atnall part of the crop. &Io
looking over his threshing accounts

$810 80 for threshing. Here aTe^the

ISABELLA HAPPENINGS.
Events and Incidents in the
Agriculture County,
Rev. Mr. Seipp, the M. E. minister
at Leaton, is a hustler. Since September he has raised $800 and with
funds now available the new church
will be veneered with cement blocks
and the interior fittingly completed.
Mb. Pleasant rejoices that Gorham
Bros, plant remains with them without requiring* the $10,000 bonus. But
those who'bad paid in as their share
tor this bonus are said to be, for the
most part, not sorry to get their share

Isabella Pomona Meeting.
The meeting of the Isabella Pomona
Grange with Riverside Grange at
Weidman, December 5th was nob as
well attended as usual owiDg to tbe
roads. Nevertheless the program was
carried out and the day proved both
prodtable and Z entertain'ing* The
question of "Good citizenship vs.
extreme partesanship in politics" waa
quite throughly debated. - After
discussing the scbool book question a
resolution waa passed, recommending
school districts to adopt ths free text
book plan, In bhe evening Supt. J. T,
Northern of Farweli gave an address
on the subject, "The Influence of the
Grange" which was well recived. The
members o* Riverside Grange are
worthy of much praise for their contributions to the success of the meeting. The election of officers was postponed until the next meeting which
will be with Mb. Vernon Grange io
the latter part of January.
Successful Meeting.
The farmers' club meeting at the
Perry farm with Mr. and Mrs. Phin-
isey was just delightful. John did
his best out of doors and the hostess
exceeded herself in the house. The
questions were discussed, many taking part, but we were sorry that O.
H. Sutherland and C. W. Perry could
not be present. Dinner was a big
feature. Mr. Irish of the city was
out at tbe noon hour. Bub he always
pays his way and sa recited a thrilling episode which was done in Ms
own best way and brought down the
house. Mrs, Thurston read to us and
Mrs. D. Allen's ta'k though short was
to the point. Miss Bessie Stoyrecited*
■beautifully, "If you chew just swallow
the juice." It pleased bhe anti-
tobacco section,. " Contributed.

In the Detroit Free Press contest

that the truancy law authorities are
gradually tightening np on the lines.
Several hundred more children than
two years ago are now in the schools

Option Question.
A convention of Isabella county

hanish thirst parlors from the county
fairly started.
Petitions presenb from fifteen precincts showed. 1308 signers, Tbe
necessary number Is 1315, but there
are four precincts to bear from, The
leaders of ihe movement, therefore,
are confident that when, the board of
supervisors meets early in January
they will have more than enough to
meet the demands ot the local option
law, Meanwhile Clare County board
or supervisors will.act on their county
petitions before that time and the decision will perchance have some bearing.

operation, known as tracheotomy
was performed by Dr. J. A. Reeder,
assisted by Dr. T. H. Maynard, of this

artiflcal resparation. The photo was
taken fi ve d ay s after tbe op iration and
the tube through which she breathed
Is shown in the neck. She made rapid
and complete recovery and the wound
in the neck is closed again. This is
regarded as an fiqusual case. "It's

it is right and proper that bhe man behind the plow should be considered at

tbe members of this organization to

this one thought what ought I, as an
individual tocontribute to the general
Interest at club meetings, and if not
on the program what shall I do, is important. Let iae tell you. Just coh
s'der yourself as the very one tb ably
discuss the question before the club.
Think of it, work at it, get something

H, Martin States Facts Showing Great Agricultural • Growth. J, H. Martin the thrashing machine man, interested by the D, E. Alward artiole in these columns on our * farm resources, discovered significant facts amplying the claims of-, farm wealth But a few years aj-'u Mr. Martin owned the only clover huller in the territory where now there are seven. But evea this year, dry season as it was, he has thrashed close to 1000 bushels of clover seed. But clover is only a atnall part of the crop. &Io looking over his threshing accounts fOr the past season he found that ten Olare oounty farmers alone paid him $810 80 for threshing. Here aTe^the men and accounts: Wm. Hilborn $100 00 Ed. Saul 97 50 George Shunk • 92.00 D. Carrier - 79 00 Wm, Becker 62,00 Alfred Rod well 5i00 James Saul 82 00 L.

Since September he has raised $800 and with funds now available the new church will be veneered with cement blocks and the interior fittingly completed. Mb. Pleasant rejoices that Gorham Bros, plant remains with them without requiring* the $10,000 bonus. But those who'bad paid in as their share tor this bonus are said to be, for the most part, not sorry to get their share bade.

The annual These figures are cUieflyfrom smaller farms and represent the threshing for ten of Mr. Martin's employers A number of other thrashers operating in the same terriiory have the same facts to narrate. Mr, Mirtm asserts tbat he has not infrequently thrash-' ed good wheat, flay bushels to the acre, from Clare county stump lands Isabella Pomona Meeting. The meeting of the Isabella Pomona Grange with Riverside Grange at Weidman, December 5th was nob as well attended as usual owiDg to tbe roads. Nevertheless the program was carried out and the day proved both prodtable and Z entertain'ing* The question of "Good citizenship vs. extreme partesanship in politics" waa quite throughly debated. - After discussing the scbool book question a resolution waa passed, recommending school districts to adopt ths free text book plan, In bhe evening Supt. J. T, Northern of Farweli gave an address on the subject, "The Influence of the Grange" which was well recived. The members o* Riverside Grange are worthy of much praise for their contributions to the success of the meeting. The election of officers was postponed until the next meeting which will be with Mb. Vernon Grange io the latter part of January. Successful Meeting. The farmers' club meeting at the Perry farm with Mr. and Mrs. Phin- isey was just delightful. John did his best out of doors and the hostess exceeded herself in the house. The questions were discussed, many taking part, but we were sorry that O. H. Sutherland and C. W. Perry could not be present. Dinner was a big feature. Mr. Irish of the city was out at tbe noon hour. Bub he always pays his way and sa recited a thrilling episode which was done in Ms own best way and brought down the house. Mrs, Thurston read to us and Mrs. D. Allen's ta'k though short was to the point. Miss Bessie Stoyrecited* ■beautifully, "If you chew just swallow the juice." It pleased bhe anti- tobacco section,. " Contributed. Miss Alina 1mm a Candidate In the Detroit Free Press contest for a free trip to Cuba appears the name of Miss Alina* daughter of J F Tatman of this city, as one of the candidates for the eleventh district.

She leaves a husband. Her death illustrates that the Indian is not proof against bbe complicated diseases of civilzation, The impression is gaining ground that the truancy law authorities are gradually tightening np on the lines. Several hundred more children than two years ago are now in the schools of the county. So quickly has the grpwth in numbers come that no one believes Jt due to rapid increase of children in the ouunty.

Already twenty-six have had their official heads taken off. The latest victims are from Leaton* Gilmore, Wise and Brinton. Eleven remain but bf these only Rosebush, Shepherd, Mt.
