The Marlette Leader of March "a
contained the following:
while in Alma recently +. A. KEN
ma of this place. noticed a card in the
hotel. setting forth the statement that
the Methodist mems class of that city,
with an enrolment of 90. was the lar
gest in this part of the state. He
promptly turned the invitation card with
its face to the wall and when asked
for an explanation stated that he didn't
like to see figures abused that way, and
went on to say that the Methodist mems
class of Marlette probably held the ban
ner for this whole section with an en-
rollment of Us and an average attend
ance of Is men. He was excused"
The facts are the card referred to
reads: THE class has membership of
sixty and is the largest in Michigan

County Agricultural Contests.

The County agricultural contests are
to be held under the joint direction of
the county schools, the Young Mems
Christian Association and the Grange
In addition to the above cooperation,
local banks, schools, etc, are conduct
ing local contests, but are using the same
rules so their boys will be eligible tc
compete for the county prizes.
The rules as set forth below are ar
ranged to conform with the other con
tests all over the state and nation. Ii
is very desirable that any contests held
in the county will be conducted along
such lines as TO make their contestants
eligible for other than the local compe-
tition Copies of rules and blanks are
in the hands of school teachers, or may
be secured from the committee.
The rules as given below are simple
and easily understood. The list Of prizes
is very attractive from the standpoint

boys who went to Chicago as we'll as
those who went to Lansing were de-
lighted with the trip. Held under care
full personal supervision. as these trips
were, they make a prize which cannot
be duplicated for the amount which they
are estimated at.
The organizations undertaking the
contests, as well as the boys. are in
debted TO the Ithaca Roller Mills
through ]. B. Crawford. who has agreed
to put up the money for all the prizes
for beans. This is splendid tribute to
the firms interest in the bean industry,
and the boys of the county.
The exhibits in the fall will be made
a two-day affair, and speakers of prom
inence will be secured. Ultimately this

INTERESTING RELICS
Recently Added to the II. c. Moore
Prehistoric Collection

II. c. Moore added many interesting
specimens to his prehistoric collection
OF relics during the past few weeks
l.. z. Garfield presented him with a
copper celt which he found some thirty
years ago. one-half mile north OF For
est HILL j. Bauer gave him a long
copper knife which he picked mp TWEEN
ty-hve years ago near Forest Hill Wal
ter Mallory and Mrs. William Shong
both living near Elwell presented him
with a copper arrow head or spear.
These copper specimens are pre-lndian,
because it has been proven that the In
dams in this part Of America did not
understand the use of copper. A. w
Rock. one flint KNIT Lester Mclean
gave him a yellow flint knife which
he found four and halt miles east OF
ST. Louis while working i'll the beets
several years ago. Mrs. Bonbright of
Clinton county brought several fine ar
row heads John Could one SHINING
stone. Ed Ewing picked up a steel
knife of curious shape on the River
Raisen. which place was the scene of a
famous Indian massacre. George Shar-
rar brought from Oklahoma one stone
and one steel tomahawk and ten excel
lent arrow heads and gave them to Mr.
Moore James Sweeney and Frank Abb
bott presented him with pipe each,
which are in fine condition. Russell
Number of near Bedding found stone
axe and brought that to Mr.. Moore.
Jim Giles, of near Elm Hall one flint
spear Clifton Rockwell of Seville a
spear. l.. Lambright, one mile north of
Alma brought collection of more than
twenty-five pieces. one very perfect blue
flint arrow head. broken into two pieces.
and which matched so perfectly that the
crack could hardly be noticed when
they were glued together, and the re-
markable fact about the two pieces was
that they were found more than two
years apart in the same field, one was
ploughed up two years later than the
other, and one very small triangular
point which was used to fasten on the
end of an arrow shaft remained in the
the body of victim when the shaft was
pulled out by the marksman, one yell
low flint knife and the rest common
flint arrow heads. and geological speci
mems. Mr.. Moore received many more
pieces too numerous to mention which
added to his curious collection of pre-
historic and pre-lndian, arrow heads
drills. knives. skinning stones, hammers.
axes. celts, pipes. pestles. amulets. cere-
monals, tubes, etc. the nomenclature
is weak and inefficient on most OF these
relics a<d ii is hard to describe them
without showing them. He has many
discoidals. gorgcts and pendants and
many things which are the result of
many years collecting The beauty of
MI Moore's collection is that he >does
not collect through dealers but knows
the personal history OF his specimens
getting them from the original finder
Many people have inquired the value
of Mr. Moore's collection and that can
not be estimated because the value Of a
relic might he said TO be regulated by
what a person will pay for it. Never
theless a collection OF that kind while
having no intrinsic value is so valuable
60 its collector that no money could buy
