BY CHARLES B. DRIsCoLL

When Doomsday comes and stars go on
And Gabriel's horn is footing,
want to hear a mighty shout,
And see the crowds 60 scOoting.
want to be upon the street,
To cover this big story;
A cub reporter on my beat,
While millions 60 to glory!
1 want to see the dead arise,
And watch the folks assemble;
want to see with my own eyes,
The thugs and grafters tremble!
want to interview the great,
The mighty of all ages,
To chin with warriors while they wait,
To talk with saints and sages.
If can get behind the scenes,
Where multitudes are dressing,
I'll interview the kings and queens,
The while their robes are pressing.
I'll talk to Solomon and Paul,
To Pericles and Nero,
I'll learn how Caesar conquered Gaul,
I'll speak to Sparta's hero.
The biggest news that ever broke,
Will ooze from every alley,
The greatest speeches ever spoke,
Will ring in every valley.
The extras will print every name,
In lists of saved and sinners,
The common folk and men of fame,
The losers and the winners.
I'll work until the day is dead,
On only one condition,
/ want to help to put to bed,
The very last edition!

SIMPLE CURE FOR TEMPER

SIMPLE CURE FOR TEMPER
In an eastern divorce case, the Judge gave this
advice to young husband and wife,
s'There has been bad exhibition Of temper
on both Sides Unless the temper is curbed,
evil will come to both Of you It is thing that
from small beginning reaches quickly bad
ending"
Will the young man and woman heed the ad-
monitor?
Perhaps not, for the worst thing about item
per- is the satisfaction which its indulgence
gives to its possessor, but those who have the
habit usually call it pride" or "high spirit"
Thus disguised temper causes more domestic
misery than intemperance
And yet its cure is often very simple. Persons
who viii not curb temper because it Is vice
will often do so merely for appearances.

In certain school, the young women are
taught that any display Of temper is vulgar and
not good form. When preaching fails, this
teaching often proves effective.

Diekema for Economy.

In speaking of his aims, if elected
governor. Hon. G.. ]. Diekema said in
a speech at Detroit that he did not
agree with Governor Ferris in the
opinion that state taxes cannot be re-
duced. Speaking of the governors
views in this respect, he said: 81 am
not afraid of such an issue. | know
they can be reduced because the system
that obtains in our state expenditures
is in many instances cumbersome and
costly. Governor Ferris certainly took
no steps to reduce them. believe the
budget system alone would save the
state annually $4,000, 900.

Gone to Her Rest

Jennie, wife of Harry c. Tinker of
Thetford, passed away at their beauti-
ful farm home on Friday afternoon,
August 18th after an illness which had
continued since last fall, and which had
confined her to her bed since March last.
In June she was taken to Battle Greek,
but the medical authorities at the San
itarium diagnosed her case as beyond
human skill and they brought her home
after a few weeks, where despite al
medical attention, and the tender care
and devotion bestowed by her loving
relatives and friends, the spirit took to
flight from the frail body on Friday
last, August 18th. The funeral was
held on Monday afternoon from the
home. Services were conducted by
Rev. Greene, of Clio, and attended by
large number of relatives, neighbors,
and old friends, the interment taking
place in Pine Run cemetery.
Jennie j. Miller was the daughter of
the late Myron G. Miller, of North
Vienna, and was born Sept. 4, 1867.
She was married to Harry c. Tinker
on May 20, 1886, and aside from the
husband, there are left of her immed-
late family to mourn her untimely loss,
two daughters, Ethel-Mrs. Glen Mon
tague, and Bernice, teacher in the
Flint schools, two sons, Leo and Ken
meth; together with the mother, Mrs.
Myron G. Miller, sister, Mrs. E. G.
Bartholomew, and two brothers, F. A.
Miller, of Flint. and H. A. Miller, of
Mt. Pleasant. While the above con-
stitute the nearer relatives, there are
other close ones just as dear, and whose
hearts together with those of her
scores of friends are saddened at her
loss. Jennie Tinker's life was an in
spiration to all with whom she came in
contact, or who ever knew her, sweet,
lovable and good; she was ushered into
this world as ray of beautiful sun
shine. All her life had reflected its
brilliance and influence to those with
whom she associated. And when the
time came that life went out marked
by that same resplendent irridesence of
character. She was ready to die,
wanted to go, and with sweet smile
on her lips, and philosophy born of
the wisdom of the great scheme of life,
passed to the great beyond, Just why
she should be thus taken is not ques-
toned by those loved ones left who
realize the inscruitible ways of God are
his alone. and that he plucks at will,
the bright flowers which grow between
the rows of thorns.

Milk Producers Organize.

About seventy-five farmers in this
vicinity who are interested in the dairy
industry met at Grange Hall last Satur-
day and took the preliminary steps
looking to the formation of local
branch of the Milk Producers Protec-
tive Association of Michigan. |. K.
Field was chosen temporary chairman
and J. ID. Anderson temporary secre-
tary and twenty-five of those present
made application for membership. A
committee on bylaws, consisting of
l.. j. Benjamin, Geo. Knickerbocker,
Albert Brabazon, Sylvester Pound and
H. d. Gage. was appointed, and meet
ing for permanent organization was
set for Aug. 26, at the same hour and
place. A specially interesting feature
of the meeting was an address by s.
II. Munsell, secretary of the state or
ganization, in which he showed in a
very clear manner the benefits that
would come to the milk producers
through cooperation and organization.

MIR. Diekema Injured

Through an injury which he received
in making an automobile trip, the lat
ter part of last week, it was impossible
for Hon. Gerrit j. Diekema, of Hol-
land, republican candidate for governor,
to appear on the speaking tour which
had been arranged for him throughout
the county. While this occasioned sin
cere regret on the part of his many
friends and admirers, Mr.. Diekema was
ably represented at the several places
where he had been billed to speak, by
his friend and fellow townsman, Hon.
N. j. Whelan, and by Congressman
James Mclaughlin, of Muskegon. The
meetings were well attended and many
assurances of support for Mr.. Diekema
and expressions of admiration for his
character were heard.

Clio, Michigan. Friday August Is. 1916
FOURTH DAY

The afternoon prelude and the full
evening program will be given by Mas
ter Angelo Vitale and his Concert Band.
In this organization we have a band
which from musical standpoint great
ly outdistances the Kilties used on this
circuit last year. It's leader is a lad in
his teens. but known as the "Boy
Creatore. :" He is rare genius, found
only once in a generation, and his work
has astounded musical critics every
where. Master Vitale and his band
were used last season over our New
York and New England circuit and pro-
duced sensation wherever they ap-
peared.
In the afternoon, Hon. George +.
German, of Chicago, will lecture on
Pork Barrell Appropriations. This is
not to be partisan talk but frank
and fearless presentation of facts on a
matter of vital import to the American
people. MIR German is an ex- Congress
man and knows whereof he speaks.
His lecture will be calculated to arouse
new patriotism in all that hear it.
FIFTH DAY
The full afternoon program and the
prelude at night will be given by Swiss
Alpine Yodlers, who will be one of the
most novel and spectacular attractions
that will appear during the Chautauqua.
This company is composed of two men
and four women, most of whom were
in the company which travelled with
Mr.. Bryan some years ago and which
has been given so much publicity. They
will appear in the picturesque vari-
colored costumes of the native noun
taineers of Switzerland and will sing
their songs and yodels in their native
tongue to the accompaniment of their
native instruments, the either and harp
guitar.
At night Byron C. Piatt, one of the
great professional lyceum lecturers of
America, will speak on the subject,
dead or Alive" Mr.. Piatt is dra-
matte orator and his long experience
in the Lyceum and his wonderful sue
cess in Chautauqua work has stamped
him with the title of 1.-THE Prophet of a
New Era" The Chautauqua will close
with this lecture which cannot be ex-
celled by any one on the American plat
form.

Friend Reed
| thought possibly you might be in
terested in knowing how were are get
ting along on our trip through the west,
hence this letter. We are 1850 miles by
speedometer reading since we left Mt.
Morris and this A. M. are seeing the
first rain in 10 weeks. Just a nice
little shower in the mountains, and as
we are visiting my cousin, DR.. Hugh
Neelands, it does not hold US up. We
have had delightful time, no trouble
of any kind. We have the same tires on
the machine we started out with and
have only had five small nail punctures.
The west. from Denver on. is wonder
full country for scenery-constantly
changing. On August 5th, while cross
ing the Cascade mountains. we rode
along on good road for miles, with
snow on each side of US, and all our
wraps on, and the next day crossed
over valley where there had only been
one rain in five months, and it was very
hot and dusty. Last Wednesday, Aug.
Bird, we drove up Mt Rainer, until we
came to snow from six to eight feet
deep on the road and could go no
further. We spent five days in Dem
yer, two in Colorado Springs, two in
Santa Fee, one at the Grand Canyon,
two weeks in Los Angles, two days in
San Diego, three days in Yosemite
Park, five days in San Francisco, three
days in Portland Oregon, one day in
Seattle Washington, besides from a
few hours to one-half day at many other
places of interest. We were over into
old Mexico and now are within IL miles
of the Canadian Border. But that will
be as close as will go to Canada, on
account of my past experience with
that country. We expect to make from
5000 to 5000 miles yet before returning
home which we expect will be about
Oct. lst.

Mrs. Will Rogers was struck by an
auto driven by E. X. Warner, last Sat-

jury by narrow margin. The accident
occurred on the corner near the post

which was moving slowly, or the acci-
