The State Military Board at their last
meeting issued general order for the
mastering into the State Militia OF East
Jordan's Independent Military Com
pany. This will take place at the Arm
ory in this city on the evening of Wed
nesday, July 14th. General John p.
Kirk, chief of staff, and Colonel Rogers,
quarter master general, will be the
state officers present.
The officers and members of our
military company are putting forth
every effort to have everything in
readiness for this occasion, and there
will be few companies in the state that
will have the record OF ability and ex-
perience at the time of their entry into
state service that East Jordan's com

While there has been some doubts as
to just what position in the State Militia
our company would receive, the genef-

fantry.
The general order also DEGREES that

instruction in rifle practice on July l6-
II. AS the company will inquestion-
ably take part in the annual encamp-
ment at Grayling, this opportunity for a
two-days practice will better able our
company to make presentable show

Fortunate is the woman who is too
busy to have that kind of tongue.
Even after a man sees where he
made a mistake he keeps right on max
ing more.
So arrange your affairs that when a
bill collector calls you won't need to in
vite him to call again.
A gossipy woman is bad enough, but
when gossipy man enters the game,

STANDARD SCHOOL
AT ADVANCE
No. |. fri, Eveline Twp.

The honor of being the first Standard
School fn Charlevoix County goes to
the Advance school in Eveline Town
ship.
The people of this district have
awakened to the fact that pleasant
surroundings are as necessary for the
proper development of growing boys
and girls as for the production of milk
in the dairy herd.
The teacher, Mr.. Ernest Peaslee,
started the movement and was ably
seconded by the Ladies Improvement
Society and during the year they raised
and expended over 5000 aside from
what the board expended. They have
a new organ, a drinking fountain, a
ventilating system, splendid library,
new adjustable seats, plenty of good
slate blackboards, five extra windows
with splendid blinds for controlling the
light and other necessary equipments.
The grounds have been plowed and
will be cultivated and seeded this sum-
mer.
They were ready for inspection in
April, but Mr.. Otwell of the State De-
partment was unable to get sooner
on account of the size of the territory
he has to cover.
On Tuesday, June 22nd, the people
of the neighborhood to the number of
about rs met at the school house and
the teacher took charge of the meeting
after one of the niftiest picnic dinners
that the writer has been privileged to
partake of.
A literary program was given by the
pupils of the school and was appreciat-
ed by all present.
1t was the writer's pleasure to present
in behalf Of the Department OF Public
Instruction, beautiful Standard Plate
which was then placed in its proper
place on the building.
Two other schools in the County have
been passed as standard and plates
will be presented this week.
There are Nos. and fri, Chandler
Twp.
No. 1, Bay, No. 4, Hayes, Nos. 3 and
4, Hudson and No. 5, Melrose have
also been mentioned by the Depart
ment as being within easy reach of the
standard list and it only remains for
some of the patrons of these districts
to get busy and express willingness
to expend very little money in repairs
and equipment to put them on the list.
The Advance school required lot of
improvements and the expenditure Of
quite sum of money but it has been
long time since have seen prouder
bunch of people than those assembled
and the picnic on the 22nd.
To Mr.. Peaslee, more than to any
other particular individual, belongs the
credit.
He directed all Of the work and did
goodly portion of 1t himself for he is
workman as well as a teacher.
The Three Bell school has secured
the services of Mr.. Peaslee for next
year and they are planning to make
that school standard. Let the good
work 90 on.
Respectfully submitted,
j. II. MILFORD.

The lions and the bears are turned
into a large circular wire cage and
in this the performances are given

is made to lie down and another is

this there is much done that one or
dinarily sees at a circus, hut finally
the ponderous beast crouelies. upon
the trainer and seems about to crush
him when only the head of the man
remains visible. There is a sigh of
relief when the animal raises himself
and it shows that the elephant has
merely been covering the trainer and
has never touched him.
These three animal acts are amaz-
ing and stamp the show as one of the
best, even in comparison with the
great circuses that have been given
here. The trained seals, however, add

Riggs Denies Story

Interviews with Marshal l.. T. Erwin, published in Fairbanks and Outside announced that Thomas Riggs, Jr., of the Alaskan Engineering commission, had an ambition of becoming the dem- ocratic national committeeman in Alas ka. It has also been inferred that he would later become a candidate for delegate to congress. But after his ar. rival here last week, Mir. Riggs denied these ambitions.
 It seems from the way MT. Riggs has talked since his return here, that poli- tics are far from his mind, at least at present, and that his present ambition is limited to getting for Alaska a good railroad, to be built by the government. When asked about his reported politi- cal ambitions, Mr. Riggs took it all as a joke, and was considerably amused.
 However, Mr. Riggs is an Alaskan sourdough, for he has spent years in locating for the government the boun- diary line between Alaska and Canada. He likes Alaska, and it is his intention to bring bis family to Fairbanks next year, to be with him when the work of railroad construction is being carried on.
