The eighth grade jS wreathed in
smiles these days, but that is not "the
better half" of It as good marks were
easy to get Monday.
"Tbe Sparker" of the engine temporarily failing to act gave three of
the lower grades two hours' vacation
Monday morning.

In dealing with the problem of truancy Chicago has established a parental school in which there are already
forty young boys. The plat on which
the building stands, con tains sixty
acres. The school is under tbe control of the Chicago board of education
.and is a part of the city school system.
The pupils and teachers live in the
building. Habitual truants and in-
corrigibles, not criminals, are sent to
this school if in the opinion of Judge
Tutbill, before whom such cases come.
it is adyisible. The majority of truants are due to bad influencesof which
parents know nothing until too lace.
Some cases show how utterly parental
borne discipline was lacking. A certain hour on Friday is the day set
aside for tbe hearing of such cases and
the day has already become known
among the boys as black Friday. Parents may visit the school at any time
during the day but many of these
children have no parents nor anyone
to take interest in them.
"War by machinery" in South Africa
was discussed in the high school Monday morning.
Miss Snider visited the different
grades Tuesday.
The third year Latin class began tbe
the study of Ovid and the ninth grade
^Tennyson's Elaine.

Joseph B. Hall.
Tuesday morning death came to
Joseph B. Hall, an old gentleman
eighty five years cf age.
Deceased was born in Mt. .Rose, Pennsylvania, October 30th, 1816, and after
residing in New York several years,
came to Clare twenty six years ago'. His
wife having died several years ago, he
leaves four sons and daughters: Dora
J. Brown of Sheridan; Mrs. P. Ackley
of Clare; S. E. Hall of Beaverton: and
H. C. Hall of Shoran, Pennsylvania,
the latter being in attendance at the
funeral.
The funeral was conducted from the
Baptist church this morning, Rev. A.
P. McDonald of Mt. Pleasant officiating, and the remains interred in
Cheery Grove cemetery. Mr. Hall
lived several years more than three
score and ten, and his falling off is but
the natural course of man, though the
sympathy of their friends is with
those who mourn.

payment for printing By-laws for our
tent, K. O. T. M. The job was very
nicely done and the boys were well
pleased."

EXCHANGE GLEANINGS.
Born city folks are disposed to poke
fun at the country boy. Some of them
mean no harm, bub others really feel
that there is an odium, or at least a
commonness about being born and
raised in the country. The country
school house iB taken as positive evidence of ignorance and stupidity.
Whec tne facts are brought out and
arraved in their proper order the
country boy becomes a different sort of
a fellow altogether. He often stands
at the lead of the yarious professions,
and leads the procession, on almost
every occasion, and in fact bears off
the honors of the great struggle for
the surviyal of the fittest. In every
community you will And that the leading citizens are men who secured their
start on the farm.—Ex.
"We'd like to be a barber," says the
Hillsdale sage, "neither mail order
houses, nor department stores nor city
printing offices nor trusts nor combines
can compete with the barber, and no
drougth or hot winds or Hessian flies
can keep the people's whiskers from
growing." ■

The Creamery Project.
1 find a fine and prosperous country
south and east of Olaie. The farmers
who have three to five cows and upwards almost invariably say they will
patronize the Switzer Creamery and
some of those who are sending to Mt.
Pleasant whose business home is Clare
have signified their intention of sending to Olare.
The Mt. Pleasant patrons seem very
enthusiastic over the value to them
of the creamery business and say they
believe the creamery men do fair
business but the creamery manager
intimates that there are those who
will kick no matter how well they do
for them and seem to do it on the
principle that if they keep kicking
they will get a little better terms but
this he said is not the case and would
sooner such would quiet as the business is arduous enough without so
much kicking, but on the whole their
patronage is very satisfactory. Being
asked how 1 was netting along I told
him that I had a most gratifying reception and hope to fairly well compete with them. Mr. Redfleld gave
me much cheer by expressing great
Confidence in my success largely because of the good farming country
around Clare and also because stock
could be raised so well with the
creamery system.     Respy. Yours,
E. SwiTZffiR.'
