Screwdriver Caused Blaze.

1t has often been stated by those who
work around gasoline that "there is not
danger from the fluid as long as you
are careful" However, it would
appear that in what "being careful
consists might involve almost any move
or action one might make in the pre-
sence of this most imflameable liquid.
Friction, generating static electricity
and resulting in a small electric dis
charge, has been held responsible for a
number of gasoline fires, and now the
innocent-appearing screw-driver, in
combination with an automobile light
ing system, stands forth with red dam
ger tag tied to it.
An auto owner, cleaning his engine
in garage in Grand Rapids accident
ally dropped his screwdriver into the
engine. II fell across the conductors
Of the auto lighting system, produced
a tiny spark, vapor from gasoline, with
which the owner had been cleaning his
machine, was ignited, the flames
spread to the building, and that, to-
gether with numbea of other automo-
biles stored therein, was badly damag.

OAKLEY ID. HAMMOND.
Republican Candidate for NOmi.
nation for Office of County
Road Commissioner.

To the Voters of CharlevoiX County,
AS a candidate for reelection to this
most important office, would like to
call your attention to the work Ihave
done during the past two years.
During the year of 1913, built three
and one-fourth miles of 8 IT macadam
road on what is known as the Charlie
voix and East Jordan road, for which
this county received a check for 81, ,253.
90 as state reward was apportioned
81, 727. 70 for the building of this road,
and after the work was done, had
81, 81 left over.
During the year of 1914, built two
miles of Is # screened gravel road, for
which the county has already received
81, 900. 90 as state reward, and has the
same amount now due from the state.
Thia was built on what is known as the
Emmett and Grand Traverse State road.
was apportioned $5,635.94 for the
building of this road, and after the road
was completed, had 81, 1854 left over
During the year of 1913, built one
fourth of mile of road more than was
given me to build that year, and in
1914, | also completed the two miles
given me. Whether this was due to
"good luck" or my ability as a road
builder, | leave to the voters of the
county to decide for themselves. When
| the question is asked of me how | ac-
complished this, there is but one
answer, and that is that | am on the
Job when the men start to work in the
morning, and also there when they
quit at night. There is but one boss
on the job, and that is the man whom
the people pay as county road commits
sioner.
In asking for reelection to this office,
believe | am better qualified to fill it
now than was two years ago. One
fact that desire to call your attention
to, is that the knowledge of road build
ing have attained during the past two
years will be of great value, not only to
me, but to taxpayers Of Charlevoix
county.
II has been impossible for me to see
every voter in the county during the
present campaign. If the office Of
county road commissioner paid salary
the year round, possibly ] might be in
position to devote more time and
money to my campaign. AS it does
not, ask you to carefully look over
my record while in office. II in your
opinion deserve to be reelected, your
support at the primary March 3rd, will
be greatly appreciated.

ELIMINATE WASTE
Neither Time Or Money Should
be Wasted in Conduct of
School Business.

The public schools of any community
represent large investment of public
money. Those responsible for their
conduct should aim to eliminate all
waste. Nothing serves better to
systematic public business than sim
pie, accurate statment OF accounts.
Many districts with school systems
spending tens of thousands OF dollars
annually have no means OF knowing
what the different departments OF the
system cost. Would the school officer
run his own business that way?
Will you have room enough for your
pupils next year? Must you build?
Now ia the time to determine. Do not
wait until next summer and then begin
to prepare. Summer preparations
never get finished until Christmas. In
the mean time the children lose by inn
proper accommodations. Prepare now.
Often time is lost because books and
other supplies are not on hand when
school begins in September. Find out
early what supplies you will need. II
you buy in any quantity submit your
orders for competitive bids. Place your
orders early. In other words, do busi-
ness for the public as you would for
Yourself.

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:
This is to certify that am personally
acquainted with Mrs. Amelia Kaden,
who for the past five and one-half
years has very satisfactorily taught in
the Boyne City schools, first as princi-
pal of our first ward school, and later
as instructor in our junior high school
and supervisor of penmanship.
Mrs. Kaden is always indefatigable
in behalf of the pupils under her gui-
dance. She uses excellent devices and
is very thorough as is attested by the
excellent records made by her pupils.
She experiences very few disciplinary
troubles, being usually successful in
keeping her pupils interested in in
spring them, and in keeping their con-
fidence.
Her preparation, both academic and
professional, is very good. Her charac-
ter is unimpeachable.
| commend her to the favorable
consideration of any school authority in
guest of strong teacher.
Very truly,
L. A. BUTLER.

STANDARD SCHOOLS
in RURAL
DISTRICTS


has outlined certain conditions which,
in their judgment, should be met and
maintained in every rural school in the
state in order that the pupils of the
rural communities might enjoy school
advantages on par with those offered
in the city schools.
Some of the requirements of the
Standard School are as follows:
A roomy playground, properly graded
and provided with some apparatus for
the children to use.
Some trees set out. Separate toilets,
same to be sanitary. School grounds
not too close to public highway and
centrally located relative to the popula-
tion of the district.
School gardens are advised though
not made requirement.
Open wells are condemned. A drink
ing fountain is required.
The building must be in good repair
inside and out. Must be of such dimen-
sions as will give ample floor space and
air space for the pupils of the school.
Exits should open out
Lighting should be ample. Glass area
should be 20 per cent of floor area.
Light should come from one direction.
Room should be evenly heated in all
portions and should have proper ventila-
ton.
Seats should be adjustable as an ad-
Unstable seat can be made to fit the
pupil A seat that fits the child means
more to his health and comfort than
any other one thing in the school room.
Blackboards, maps and other equip
ment of the school must be ample and
up to date.
The Department has been working
on this proposition for some time but
could not, of course, cover the entire
state in short time.
Last September they sent to num-
ber of counties, CharlevoiX being one
of said counties, Score Book covering
every detail of the existing conditions
OF the schools or the county.
have made very careful record of
every school in the county and copy
of same was sent to the Department in
December last.
There are in the county four schools
that will very easily meet the require
ments of the Department in every par
ticular and they are now awaiting the
arrival of the member of the Depart
ment who passes on the fitness of
things and confers the honor. About
ten other schools in the county could,
by the expenditure of very small
amount of money, be placed on the
standard list.
Very few buildings in the county are
too small for the standard and it is the
matter of seating and light that brings
the score of majority of the districts
below that required by the Department
The Advance School, No. fri, Eve
line Twp. will be the first standard
school in the county. They have put
in new boards, new seats, re-arranged
the lighting and put in new windows,
graded the grounds and made several
other Improvements in order to meet
the requirements.
Every patron of the school who is
there some day in April when the plate
is given will be proud of the fact that
he had something TO do with it,
1t is certain that the example of this
district will be followed by many others
in the county. Respectfully submitted,

Com'r of Schools.
