CURRENT COMMENT
Little Hollands Pluck.

To speak up about the Lusitania took
far more pluck in the case of Holland
than it could possibly do in the case OF
any country, great or small. separated
from Germany by the sea. But for that
matter Hollands course from the out
set has been as plucky as it has been
discreet, and toward the Belgians it
has shown an admirable generosity. To-
ward the belligerents it has observed
strict neutrality, and has not failed of
dignified protest at every invasion of
its rights, In the Lusitania matter its
case is like that of the United tates,
citizens Of Holland having lost their lives,
and the note of protest to Germany is
said TO follow much the same lines as
that of President Wilson's administra-
tion, though in its position Holland
could hardly be expected to use firm
language as the concluding paragraph of
the American note. But it is TO be sup
posed that an essentially identical re-
spouse will be given to all neutrals in
lured by the sinking of the Lusitania,
md Holland hears that Berlin now thinks
hat the response viii be as conciliatory
as is possible without an open abandon

There is danger that the number OF
allies engaged against Germany, Austria
and Turkey will become so large as to be
unwieldy, each one of the newcomers in
the Balkans having special grudge to
work off against one single nation and
prosecuting that work without restraint
from the guiding hand of the larger ma.
lions with which they are allied. There
may be such thing as getting too much

Italy Declares for War.

To-day Italy is TO announce that a
state OF war exists between her and Aus
tro-tIungary. While she puts forth what
TO her seem high and sufficient reasons
for taking the step, the world at large
may fail to sec that she is stirred by
the big, humane, patriotic purpose that
would give her action more of world
wide sanction. SO far as the matter is
generally understood. she was not deeply
stirred by the plight OF Belgium; she did
not go in when Paris was in danger OF
being taken. On the contrary, she has
held off seemingly for the purpose Of
bartering for the ends to be gained and
finally, when her opponent Is placed at
the greatest possible disadvantage. with
her hands full TO Overlooking with trou-
Bile, Italy decides that she can no longer
restrain her patriotic srdor and declares
war Perhaps the people outside of Italy

tives that are stirring her. The cause

FROEBEL STREET FAIR

Originality is surely another name
for the Froebel Society, or at least
one would Judge so from the many
successful and enjoyable entertain
ments they give US each year.
Last Friday evening the type OF
entertainment was one of the newest
and most unique in the history of the
Society.
AS you approached the Gym the
sounds that greeted you were many
and strange. The musical voices OF
the barkers for the numerous attrac-
tions entreated every one to witness
the latest and last production of the
charming play "Clementine," or see
the famous floating lady," the wild
Bearded Lady," the "Fattest Woman
in the Universe" or the Worlds Re
nowned Swimming Match"
The dog show demonstrated talent
that one has never known existed IN
the town. The tricks were clever and
we'll executed.
Many people were pinched by the
traffic cops who greeted everyone
as they entered with, Park your cars

OBITUARY

c. Watts Throop, son of Jas. Z.
and l.. II. Throop, was young man
of fine character. His ideals were high
and his ambitions worthy He had the
ability to fill a distinguished place in
life. and his early death is terrible
bereavement to his family and friends
who shared and nourished his aspira-
tions toward an honorable and useful
manhood. He was born in Ferris on
June 9th, 1895, and, with the excep-
ton of two years spent at Ferris In
stitute in Big Rapids. and the year
spent in New Mexico during his last
illness, his whole life was spent here.
AS student in the Vestaburg High
School. where the writer had the privi-
lege of a close and intimate acquain-
lance with him, he was faithful and
diligent, and displayed so many manly
and lovable traits, that he won the adj
miration and respect of all who knew
him. His life was clean and without a
stain, the reflection of a mind that
was pure and good.
He was taken sick in March, 1914,
at Ferris Institute, just two weeks
before the completion of his course IN
banking. He had previously received
his diploma for the commercial course
After his return home his condition
became so serious that his parents
went with him to New Mexico in Octo-
Der, 1914, where died, November 4th
1915. His father, mother, and sister
Mrs. Eliza Douglas, survive him, an'
with many friends mourn his passing
to the other world. The funeral ser
vice was conducted by Rev. John 1
Bridwell of Mt. Pleasant at TN
Church of Christ, just across the roa'
from the home in which he spent hi
life and his body was laid TO rest b,

WINNERS IN THE ESSAY CON
TEST

The essay contest conducted under
the auspices of the organization In
charge of Gratiot County Good Health
Week was very beneficial in many
ways. Superintendent Schultz, chair
man of the committee in charge OF
the essays, reports that about one
hundred essays were submitted to the
Judges in the competition for prizes.
AS the contestants were to write on
what they had heard or seen during
Good Health Week, it was very natur-
al that the large majority of pupils
who wrote essays were enrolled IN the
Alma Public Schools. Since it is the
purpose to hold these meetings per
iodically in the three largest cities OF
the county. at a later period the pupils
in the schools of our sister cities will
/ have the advantage in this respect.
BY way Of explanation il may be
stated that Supt LaRue of St Louis
appointed the judges for the eleventh
and twelfth grade contestants; Supt.
Schultz, the judges for the ninth and
tenth grade contestants; Supt. King
of Ithaca. the judges for the seventh
and eighth grade contestants; Dancer,
the Judges for the fifth and sixth
grade contestants; and Commissioners
Potter, the judges of the district

COMMISSIONERS MEET
To Take Up Matter of Creating
New Highway District

The county commissioners were in
session last week, and are to meet
again on the 26th, to clean up some
unfinished business. Among other
matters, is that of highway district
at Kimama. The board has not fav-
ored the granting of district there,
as it will take away about the last
open property on which county road
taxes can be levied. AS there is lit
tie if any taxable real estate and lit
tie other property in the Kimama
section. except the railroad, 1t has
been figured that the people them
selves would pay practically no road
tax, whatever might be the issue OF
bonds if they issued bonds for road
building.
The board will meet again next week
for other business.

REVOLvERS.

A revolver is a nickle-plated sub
stitute for bravery, which has prac-
tically driven the original article OUT
of the market
The revolver gives puny man
with a 5-8-inch brain and the pluck
of grasshopper a 100-yard reach
and makes him more deadly than
Sioux Indian. There was time
when this country had no dangerous
animals, except bears and wolves.
and life was safe, except on the
frontiers, but now vast hordes of 16-
year-old boys who use their skulls
for a dime novel bookcase, roam the
streets with cigarettes in their face
and portable cannon in their hip
pockets, producing obituaries with
the skill and enthusiasm of cholera
microbe; while it is at all times pos
sible to meet personal enemy who
has been chasing you for a week, and
who is reluctantly compelled to de-
fend himself when he catches you by
filling you so full of lead that your
remains will require eight pall-bear-
ers. Revolvers are now so generally
used in debate, in domestic quarrels
and repartee of all sorts that 5000
Americans die of them each year, it is
said. Mitchell, Is. d., Gezette.

Progressive Farmer Installs A
Modern Milking Machine

w. j. T apper is going to be the
first farmer on the Richfeld tract to
Install milking machine. He has a
fine dairy herd, about the biggest and
best on the tract. 1t looks like good
money-but it also looks like vast
amount of labor on the part of the
farmer who doesn't dare to trust mis-
valuable stock to chance farm help.
So he is putting in a modern milking
machine, to handle the entire output
of his dairy. If you have any cows
you want MIXED, the Recorder knows
Of no reason why you shouldn't take
them to the Taper farm and have
them MIXED in modern machine
that leaves you more time to figure
out the profits and less corns and
bunions to take away the pleasures
Of life.

School Closes Friday, May 7th
Exceptionally Good Year Drawing to Cose---Program
of Exercises For the Commencement Week

Only two more weeks until school
closes; until the smoke dies down in the
educational mill, the mental wheels
cease to turn and settle down to rest
and rust, the small boy sets sail for the
trout stream and the old swimming
hole, and the tired teacher draws q
long, long breath and begins to figure
the shortest road home to mother and
luxurious rest
1t can be said truly that the year al
most ended has been the best in the
history of the Richfield schools. In no
way has the work fallen short Of the
highest standard.
The teachers and pupils Of the Rich
field school most cordially invite their
friends to be present at each Of the
various exercises in connection with the
closing Of the school year:
On Friday evening April so. they will
hold an informal reception and an ex-
hibit of the work Of the Manual Train
ing and Domestic Economy departments
at the school house. A short program
will be rendered and light refreshments
served.
