County Normal Notes.

Miss Ethel Sanford and Miss Marie
Lamiman of the class of 1915 both report
that their work has already begun.
Miss Sanford is located at Goodhart and
has an enrolment of fifteen pupils.
Miss Lamiman has about ten in her
school at Antrim City.
Our class now numbers eleven, Miss
Florence Miner of Charlevoix has
taken up the work of the normal.
Miss May Stewart, county school
commissioner, gave the normal students
very interesting and instructive talk
on the aims of the school teacher on
Wednesday of last week
Ward Genet and Fred Gregory of
last years class were also normal
visitors last week. They both gave us
an idea of what they intended to do to
work their way thru college this year.
They gave us several good plans for
organizing clubs and athletic circles in
our rural schools.
The normal class are actively en-
gagged in learning to distinguish the
different weeds which are common in
this state. In the school yard alone
the members of the class found about
twelve different specimens in about ten
minutes.
Longfellow's Courtship of Miles
Standish, is being studied in the read
ing class. The first attempt at drama
tising took place last Thursday and
proved to be very interesting to all the
members of the class.
The problem of finding suitable
games for both boys and girls to amuse
themselves with on rainy days and
during recess outdoors when the
weather will permit, has been taken up
Several games were tried out by the
normal students themselves and found
to be practical.
The class has not fully organized as
yet. AT meeting to discuss ways and
means of purchasing basket ball for
the class to use this winter, Florence
Maddaugh was chosen temporary chair
man and Mary Boice temporary sec'y.

Memory Day
Sept. 3Oth
A Proclamation by Governor
Woodbridge N. Ferris.

Oace upon time Michigan school
teacher travelled two hundred forty
seven miles for the sole purpose OF
hearing Adeline Patti sing "Home,
Sweet Home" This dear old song
brought TO the consciousness of four or
five thousand listeners the precious
memories Of childhood's days. In large
measure, human personality is the ag-
gregate of ones memory. AT the grave
of father, mother, wife, husband, son,
daughter, baby, neighbor, friend, the
joys and sorrows of the past, through
memory, are revived and retouched
with the benediction of love. Our
cemeteries are cities of the dead, made
beautiful through the magic touch OF
loving hands. 1t is hoped that on
"Memory Day" every cemetery in
Michigan will command the special at
tcntion Of our citizens. If, by chance,
a neglected grave is found, put it in
order and place upon it handful of
flowers. If there is corner called the
potters field, clear away the weeds and
rubbish. Here strew and plant flowers.
The condition of this particular spot is
the real test of community love and
loyalty. In remembering the dead, we
serve the living.
|, Woodbridge N. Ferris, Governor of
Michigan, invite her people to convene
in the cemeteries at 200 o'clock p. m,
on Thursday, September 80, designated
by the Legislature as Memory Day."
and there scatter flowers and hold ap-
propriatc exercises in memory of the
dead.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State, this 21st day of
September, in the year of our Lord,
one thousand nine hundred and fifteen
and OF the Commonwealth the seventy
ninth.

COPPER AS HARD AS STEEL
Maine Blacksmith Claims to Have
Discovered Centuries Lost Art of
Tempering Copper.

Milbridge, Me.-James Walter Foss,
the village blacksmith, sixty-seven
years old, says he has discovered the
centuries lost art of tempering cop
per. He shows copper knives that will
whittle long shavings from a hickory
wagon spoke. and a copper draw
shave that slices the knots in the
toughest ash hoop pole. He cuts a
mortise in an oak heart plank with a
copper chisel and he has copper
razor which the village barber says is
about the slickest tool he ever han
died.
These tools were forged of discard
ed soldering coppers from the sardine
cannery, bits Of copper wire and an
old copper kettle. They may be
ground, whetted or honed like steel.
Foss says he can make a copper file,
or a copper hand saw, or anything
with cutting edge and Of any degree
of hardness.
He says that he hopes to get enough
out of his discovery to spend his last
days without work and then the world
is welcome to it. He is sixty-seven
years old and thinks he has worked
long enough, but until he made his
discovery it looked like years more OF
labor for him.

THE SLANOER OF THE SCARE.
CROW


Two crows set out at the break Of
day to steal their breakfast from a
farmers cornfield, but as they neared
the place where the planting had re-
Gently been done, they espied man
standing in the middle of the field.
He wore his hat aslant and was ap-
parently waving his arms to warn
them away.
"He may have a gun within reach"
said one of the crows, as they veered
off and alighted in the top of a dead
tree at the edge of the field.
"Since l come to observe him more
Closely" said the other crow, II can
see that he is the candidate who was
making a speech at the county seat
yesterday as 1 flew over the town.
At least, he is making the same ges-
tures."
"In that case," said his companion,

Humility is all right for the other

A woman may marry man for his

The young lad without ticket to the

The married man knows there is not
the slightest truth in the old saying

HEALTH HINTS
PNEUMONIA.
Causes and First Aid Treatment
By DR.. r. r. DANIELS,


While exposure, over-fatigue and
insufficient clothing may have some
thing to do with pneumonia, far more
important than these are the factors
in our daily habits, which lessen our
disease resisting powers. such as ov-
erheatng, rhe use of coffee. tobacco
and alcohol; oveaheated rooms, too
much clothing when indoors, lack Of
sufficient fresh air, especially in ST.
eeping rooms. 1t is few or all the
Sc things which get people into phv-
steal condition to contract pneumonia.
To avoid pneumonia, we should avoid
overheating, especial y of heavy foods
we should not use coffee. tea, tobacco,
no alcohol in any form, we should get
sufficient sleep each night in we'll
ventilated room; we should wear me-
dunn weight cotton underwear, and
sufficient heavy outside clothing when
going out of doors.
First-Aid Suggestions.

At the same time large dose of salts
or saline laxative should be given with
small amount of water. This tends
to limit the amount of lung area to
be involved later on. The patient
should then be put to bed with heat to
the feet. and in the robust an icebag

ed when the patient is to be up or.un-
covered, at other times the windows
should be opened wide, and an album
dundance of fresh air admitted the
more robust the patient the colder
the air should be. In treating pneu-
monia fresh all is more important tn
an any thing else, plenty OF fresh air
at the beginning make oxygen un-

ment for pneumonia is important, it
may be given while the doctor is on
the way, and if administered promp-
thy and properly it will shorten the
attack and frequently save life.
