GETS APPOINTMENT

Mrs. Y. H. Shepard has again re-
ceived the appointment from the state
secretary of Red Cross seals to take
charge of the seal sale for Gratiot
county. AS this work has been done
by Mrs. Shepard for number of
years and is entirely without any re-
Enumeration it is hoped everyone will
buy seals and help the good cause
along. Mrs. 4. T. Lamb has kindly
consented TO assist Mrs. Shepard by
taking charge of the seal sale in Alma
Buy seal and help stamp out the
great white plague here in Michigan.
tuberculosis is killing men, women,
and children, more than 1000 of them
a year In selling seals they ask no
charity. They are statesmen of health
and protection from disease and are
giving you the opportunity TO take
part in your own fight against cor
sumption in Michigan. These stickers,
holiday tokens of cheer to the recip-
lent and hope TO the sick are the sole
source of funds for organized warfare
or tuberculosis in Michigan. Each
little seal is bullet in our war on
the white plague, Captain of Death. "
The JOY of the coming holiday sea-
son Will be heightened for you and
your loved ones in giving a part of
that JOY to Michigan's 10000 who suff
81 from tuberculosis and endanger
your life and mine

POOR IMAGINATION

gentlemen from Monte Vista
who attended the Lumbermen's con-
yention at Denver last week created
CONSERVATION at the entertainment
which followed the banquet and al
most broke up the party" One of
the features which the lumbermen
had secured for the pleasure of their
nrovincial visiting friends was a
hawaiian troupe from the Orpheum
circuit. Now, we are told, that the
Hawaiaans wear a sort of rope
braided costume in their native
body-wriggling dances and also that
tbey keep their feet on the floor, so
that during the evolutions of a per-
fectly nice terpsichorean stunt
Charley got excited and shouted,
|aCut the ropes, Bessie; let 'er go!"
and pandemonium broke loose.

THE DENVER MARKETS

| Denver Union STOCK 1ardS, jan
I24-The receipts of cattle here last
week we're the largest of any show
week for years. There was a good
active trade thruout the week and
1.-The business done was pronounced
bv all the most satisfactory of any
show week in the history of the Ma
| Itional Western Stock Show. The
supplv of fat cattle on the open mar
ket was not large, but the few car
loads that arrived sold readily at
firm prices. The carloads of fat
show cattle also sold well and at
highly satisfactory prices, as did the
single fat steers, the grand cham
pion steer of the show bringing the
enormous price of $13 per cwt.,
while the grand champion carload
of steers sold at $40 per cwt. The
feeder trade thruout the week was
big. Not only was there heavy
trade on the open market at prices
ranging from 81 to $7.75 for good
Feeding steers, but nearly 200 car
loads of steers went thru the auction
ring on Thursday at an average price
of S7.3S. The grand champion car
load of steers of the show sold at
$940, and the reserve champion
Angus calves brought 5000.
The trade in breeding cattle also
broke all previous records. Approx
mately 1000 head of breeding bulls
bnd heifers were offered for sale and
practically everything on sale was
disposed of at prices highly satisfac-
tory to the owner, the high price be-
ing $4,000 at which Middle Park
stockman purchased Wyoming, the
grand champion Hereford bull of the
show, bred and shown by L. G.. Davis
of Saratoga, Wyo.
The hog trade was active and sup
ply liberal from day to day. Prices
were firm and good hogs are now
bringing around 81 to $7.15. The
farloads of show hogs brought good
prices, the grand champion load SELL
ng to packers at $40 per cwt, and
Phow hogs selling largely from $7.25
10 $3.50.
The sheep trade was good all
week, but supply not heavy. Good
at lambs are quoted around $3.50
10 $1O.25, good fat ewes are selling
PIP to 81, good yearlings up to So,
md wethers around So. The grand
champion carload of lambs of the
how last week sold thru the auction
ing at 13 cents per pound, with the
rand champion yearlings at $10.85,
md grand champion ewes at $S15.

THE PRESIDENT TO YOUNG PEOPLE
You Have Got To Have Your Second
Wind Until The Last.

| dare say you think that the
school-masters are often a hit hard
on you in requesting you to do
things in order that you may pass
the tests of the school, but | want
to warn you that when you get out
of school you are going to have
harder school-masters than you had
before, for the world requires that
we make good no matter what
happens, and the man that does
things amounts to great deal
more than the man who wishes he
had done things and who promises
he will do things. The men | am
sorry for are the men who stop to
think that they have accomplished
something better before they stop
at the grave itself. You have got
to have your second wind in this
world and keep it up until the last
minute. Woodrow Wilson.
Sharp County record., 1916-10-06
It's Mostly Up To You

When the worlds a-goin' crooked,
Or it looks that way to you-
Somehow seems to be a tangle
To most everything you do;
When you start out of a mOrnin'
With your luck a.runnin' wrong.
The birds along your pathway
Have a harshness in their song
And the grass, though soft as velvet,
You will sort O stumble through,
Such times if you want things better,
Friend, it's mostly up to you.
'Taint hard sailin' with the sunshine,
But it's durin stormy spells;
When our weary feet are slippin',
That the stuff what's in us tells.
No-you won't have flowers allus
In the paths you travel through;
Still, if you would have things better,
Friend, it's mostly up to you.
Selected.
