FARMERS CLUB
HOLDS MEETING

The spring meeting OF the Pro-
gressive Farmers club was held June 6,
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. David Nc
Cam. About 40 including invited
guests, were present. At the noon hour
most excellent dinner was served;
especially noticeable were numerous
plates OF superb Jonathan apples.
These apples raised by the host, were
kept in cold storage in Chicago, and
shipped back especially for the club
meeting. After dinner some two. hours
we're spent inspecting the orchards
The Mccain apples have more than a
local reputation and the extra quality OF
the crops produced from these orchards
are good illustration of what modern
scientific methods, coupled with skill
and industry can do with Michigan
apple trees.
The meeting ended with an informal
program Short speeches were made
by f.. II. Harvey, Mr. Shank and by
some Of the club members, interspersed
with singing and with selections on the
piano by Mrs. Barnes. The latter were a
treat aud worthy oi special mention.
Aside from the club members there
we're present as invited guests, Mr.. and
Mrs. f.. H.Harvey, Mr.. and Mrs. Shank,
Mrs. and Miss Barnes, Miss Anna Hood
Miss Lena Richard and Miss Lila
Thayer.

CANNOT SERVE
ON TWO BOARDS

Members of the township board can
not legally serve on school boards, &C
cording to an opinion of the attorney
general who holds that the two offices
are Incompatible. This ruling effects
quite a lumber of districts in this
county and throughout the state. 1t is
a rule of law that when a person accepts
an office which is incompatible with the
one he already holds, he automatically
vacates his first Office by the acceptance
of the second II person, for example,
should be elected as a member OF a
school board, and later should be
elected to an Office that would place
him on the township board, his office on
the school board is vacant and the mem.
bers of the school board should i'm
mediately fill the vacancy.
The township board is composed OF
the supervisor, clerk and two justices
of peace, whose terms OF office expires
first. None OF these men can legally
serve on a school board nor can the
to nship treasurer serve as school
treasurer as those two offices are like
wise incompatible.

Hardly a Benefit to the Race.

A young New England student has
succeeded in developing live caterpil-
lars by means of sulphuric acid. The
scientists are excited over the feat,
but the country at large will not be
wildly enthusiastic over the prospect
OF being able to multiply caterpillars
at will, and may even be clamoring
for laws to prevent ambitious young
scientists from increasing by scien.

FOLDED THEIR TENTS.

The carnival has come and gone.
The wild, weird music of the fish horn,
the dulcet tones of the megaphone and
the balahooing of the bankers are
hushed and the fakirs have folded their

The shows were like an egg shell, all
on the outside.
The merry go-round did a fine bust

MAORI GETS BRAVERY MEDAL
Australian Prisoner Rewarded for Saw
Ing tho Life Of Trooper Who Had
Arrested Him.

For the first time since it's institu-
ton says the London Daily Graphic,
the Albert medal has been awarded to
q Maori for gallantry in saving life,
and the circumstances connected with
this heroic act are so extraordinary
that they are worth giving in full.
The recipient of the medal is an
aboriginal native of the Roper River,
Australia, named Neighbour, and the
story Of his brave act is given In the
London Gazette In the notice announc-
ing that the king has conferred the
medal upon him.
On February /, 1911. Neighbour,
who had been placed under arrest, vas
being conveyed to the Roper River
police station by a trooper OF the po-
lice force named Johns. The Wilton
river, which was found to be In full
food, had to be crossed, and Johns,
who was on horseback, and was hold
ing in his hand the neck chain by
which Neighbour was secured, set the
prisoner to swim in front Of him, while
he followed
The horse got into difficulties in
mid-stream, and before the trooper
could clear himself he was kicked In
the face by the animal and carried off
by the current. Neighbour, instead of
using the opportunity of making his
escape, went to Johns assistance and
brought him ashore with great diff.
Guilty and at the risk Of his own life.

WOMAN CONFESSES
SHE STOLE BROOCH
WHEN TEMPTED
Pleading Weakness Pretty Mrs.
Pearl Spence Arraigned, but
Sentence Suspended.

On the plea that she got into debt
without her husbands knowledge and
that the temptation TO steal under these
circumstances became too strong to re-
stst. Mrs. Pearl Spence, a very pretty
young woman, escaped punishment
after pleading guilty to grand larceny
in the court Of General Sessions to-day.
Judge Grain a.Yowed her to go under a
suspended sentence.
Mrs. Spence lives at No. 10 West
One Hundred and Eightieth street She
is a niece of Olive Redpath. the actress,
who in private life Is Mrs. Olive Branch
Demiel. and lives at No. 272 West
N!netieth street.
On Jan. % last Mrs. Demiel gave a
reception at her apartment. Mrs.
Spence was one Of the guests and was
the last to leave. Mrs. Demiel missed
diamond and pearl brooch valued at
$3.50 after the departure OF her niece
and hurried to Mrs. Spence's home.
Mrs. Spence was not at home. She
did not come home for several days
and was finally located in a furnished
room In West Fifteenth street. She
had pawned the brooch and her arrest
followed. From afiidavlts submitted to
the Court to-day It appears that Mrs.
Spence had exceeded her allowance. She
had purchased a valuable coat and told
her husband 1t was worth considerably
less than she had obligated herself to
pay. Debts harassed her until she was
desperate.
ON the day she succumbed to tempta-
ton the brooch was In easy reach on
a dresser. She was alone In the room.
After she had become thief she was
afraid to go home and lived In terror
until she was found by the police. Res
titution has been made and tho Court
assumed that she has been sufficiently
punished.
