The faster a mans gait the sooner
misfortune overtakes him.
Nothing ever takes such hard fall
out of worry as hard labor.
Much happiness or misery lies within
the circle Of wedding ring.
The man who weds an old flame often
finds that she has red-hot temper.
We all have soft spot in our heads
at birth-ahd some always retain it.
An old bachelor says that the vocal.
zation at a wedding is even more de-
pressing than the singing at funeral.
q A woman dislikes to find her first
esay hair almost as badly as a man dis
likes to part with his last one.
Comparatively few people remain in
the self-satisfied class after they once
get acquainted with themselves.
When man and woman argue the
woman invariably gets the last word
but when two women argue it's always
adraw.
II is said that in India a widow /:
burned with her late husband. In this
country q widow takes another and
roasts him.

young tempters of destruction might
relax bit. In France, one imagined,
there might be an embrace, at least.
Probably slight peck on the cheek.
Jake had really shown that he was
a mighty handy man with the brush.
But did they relax? Here is what
happened?
Hello" said the headquarters avia-
tor.
"Howdy," replied the visiting pilot.
There followed keen survey of the
visiting machine.

quarters aviator.
The visitor said nothing, but peeled
off his jacket and picked up the mail
bag.
"How long did 1t take you to make
the trip?" asked the headquarters
flier.
Exactly an hour and half" stated
the visitor, somewhat proudly.
"We did IL In an hour and twenty
eight minutes" returned the headquar-
ters aviator.
"Of course we lost lot of time In
that storm" said the visitor.
"But you had stiff wind behind
you," retorted headquarters. How
much weight did you carry?"
about 3,400 pounds"
"We carried 3,700 and lot of extra
equipment"
No Boost Here.
Another sour inspection Of the visit
ing plane, accompanied by uplifted
eyebrows on the part of the second
headquarters man, who finally asked
"How Is that new patent adjuster
workingT
Great" responded the visitor, en-.
couraged.
''We get along fine without It," said
headquarters.
The visitor surveyed the headquar-
ters men q moment quizzically.
Anyway" he said, both of us got
here and brought the machine"
"Yes," said the first headquarters
man. But you had messy time of II

Jake might have been little weak

Putting Her In Trance, and That
He Treated Her Cruelty.

Reading, Pa.-Alleging that she was
In trance during her marriage cere-
mony, and that the wedding was not a
voluntary act on her part, Mrs. Lottie
+. Mead, well-known Penn street
store saleswoman, has brought suit In
court here for divorce from Charles III.
Mead, residence unknown, ON the
ground of cruel treatment.
In her petition filed with the court
Mrs. Mead says that she was married
on August 8. 1915, at Stone Harbor,
while 'she was stupefied and was not
aware of her existence"
She alleges that her husband had
the power of putting her into a trance.
Mrs. Mead says that later her husband
told her that he married her only for
joke, and to get possession of her In
heritance, saying that he had already
run through two, that of his mother
and his daughter. Mrs. Mead says her
husband told her that his first wife
lasted only year and his second wife
only five years. The court granted a
subpoena.

The team met Charlevoix at that place
last Friday afternoon.
At meeting of the Board OF Educa-
tion held Monday evening, Oct. 2nd, 1t

PRAIRIE DOGS INVADE CITY
Mysterious Couple Take Up Life In
Kansas City Business District
and Make Friends.

Kansas City.-Without any visible
means of support, and with only
enough furniture and luggage to start
light housekeeping, two Kansas prairie
dogs took lodging under wall here
last spring. A shy, retiring couple
they seemed to shun society. They
were never at home to callers.
But sometimes. on sunny afternoons,
the employees of the printing company
next door could see the little animals
emerge from their hole under the wall
and play among the rubbish and frag-
ments Of old pavement In the yard.
BY and by the prairie dogs learned the
printers meant no harm, and accepted
small favOrs, such as punches Of sweet
grass, nuts and apples, from them.
No one knows where the prairie
dogs came from. One man said they
escaped from circus menagerie. An
other held the theory they had run
away from someone who had tried to
tame them and make them into house
hold pets.
At any rate, there they are, next
door to Kansas City's business dis
trict. The appearance Of strangers on
their doorstep is signal for retire
ment to the depths of their hole-in-the-
wall. A photographer waited more
than an hour to get a glimpse of the
prairie dogs. Finally he was COM
PEELED to take the picture from the In
terror Of the printshop, thrusting the
camera through the window.

Expedition, Mexico.-There Is rather
matured story told to illustrate the
pride a man may take In his work and
how apt he Is to be extremely jealous
OF that work. 1t relates how two
street sweepers were discussing the
merits Of a deceased member of their
craft.
Jake was mighty handy man with
the brush" declared the first sweeper
In an effort Of praise.
"Yes," said the other, slowly, "he
was that. But now that he's gone,
Hank, don't you think he was just a
little weak around the lamp posts?"
There should be asterisks or some
thing here, because the scene shifts
suddenly to somewhere I'm Mexico"
and those who follow this narration
find themselves on the aviation field
at the edge of headquarters camp, the
day relief aeroplane Is expected to
arrive. Her starting point Is a mill
tary secret, but II is sufficient to say
that she would complete journey Of
100 miles by the time she glided to the
ground at this camp.
Finally, far over the mountain
range, the machine was sighted. The
aviator was having a rough time Of 1t,
caught In the swirls and eddies that
suck up out of the rough mountain
country. Then the machine fought
clear and lowered over the field, ap-
parently seeking a place to alight. FL
nally the machine made sudden
swoop, struck the toughest part of the
field, bumped badly, skidded and tip
ped, but finally righted itself and
rolled to a standstill.
How They Were Greeted.
The aviator assigned to headquar-
ters strolled leisurely out to greet the
! newcomer. They reached the machine
as he and the observer were climbing
stiffiy from their seats and unbutton-
Ing leather Jackets. One felt that 1t

Local Foot Ball Team Wins
From Old Rivals at Charlevoix

The pig skin manipulators Of the
hiS 1school staged fast and interest
ing game at Charlevoix last Friday
afternoon and incidentally showed that
they could "come back" after bad de-
feat at the hands of Boyne City. For
several years the locals have been un-
able to defeat Charlevoix on their home
grounds, but this time they vindicated
themselves and played their opponents
off their feet from the first whistle.
Charlevoix won the toss and chose to
defend the west goal, thereby having
the advantage of stiff breeze and the
sun at their backs. Cross kicked off
for East Jordan and Durrance OF Char
levoix ran the bali back to the As yard
line where he was tackled by Milford
and was slightly injured by cut over
the eye. This was soon taken care OF
and proved to be the only injury re-
ceived during the game. After failing
TO gain through the line Charlevoix
punted and the local team recovered
the ball and began march for the goal
line Which resulted in a touchdown by
CrosS Goal kick failed and the score
was e>to 0 for visitors. In a few min
u,es more Milford manipulated another
touchdown from a fake formation,
making the score II to in the first
eight minutes of play. Then Charlie
voix worked successful forward pass,
Butler to Cartier and the latter proved
too fast for the East Jordan defense
and the play resulted in touchdown.
Charlevoix kicked goal and the score
was IL to Z.
BY this time the local boys had be-
gun to play good ball and scores follow
ed in quick succession, Charlevoix be-
ing unable to stop the line plunging OF
Cross and the open field work of the
other backs and ends of the visitors.
The game ended with East Jordan on
the big end of 81 to score.
This game showed that the high
school has a team which should give
any other team in this part Of the state
a run for its money. Every player on
the team played good game and the
defensive work of Giffin and Dicken
was remarkable, both being sure tack
les and never failing to get their man.
On offensive Cross and Milford made
most of the gains, good work being
done also by Dicken, Porter and Nacha-
EEL Several forward passes were
gathered in by Lalonde and Giffin
which resulted in long gains. Fowler
at center is strong defensive player
and when needed can stop many of the
opponents plays before they are under
way. Cummins and Jones at guards
and Jepson at right tackle made up a
line which Charlevoix found too strong
to gain through.
Eae game was clean throughout, the
local boys offending by rough play
only a few times and rarely losing
their heads. With one or two excep-
tions the Charlevoix boys also proved
to be good sportsmen but theirs was
the usual rowdy element present
among the spectators.
Principal Asletine of Charlevoix was
the referee.
The return game will be played with
Charlevoix at the ball grounds on the
Commons this Friday afternoon, Oct
13, at $3.50 p. m. II you like to see a
good clean sport, don't miss this game.
The local team is out to win but will
guarantee you fast and clean game if
you will attend.

School Commissioners
Notes
May L. Stewart. Commissioner

Too busy now to do much talking.
Seventeen visits made last week.
Boyne Valley teachers met at Boyne
Falls on Wednesday. Only one teacher
absent.
Hudson teachers met at the Hudson
townhall on Friday. All present but
one. All had to face difficulties to get
to the meeting.
The Hudson Township Mothers Club
held an open meeting on Friday, Oct.
9th at the Hoffman school house. There
was an active and thoughtful crowd
present. The Com'r spoke at length
on conditions in that locality, the ideal
school, and what the unit system would
mean in Hudson township. Delicious
coffee and sandwiches were served
after the program.
Visits in Boyne Valley found that the
Boyne Falls village schools had provid-
ed new boiler for the heating system,
had retinted all four rooms, and oiled
the floors, and vanished the seats.
They have engaged an assistant high
school teacher this year to make possi-
BILE the eleven grade system and next
to complete twelve grade course.
There is no reason why this high school
should not draw from all the surround
ing country in its future enrolment if
it steps to the front in Improvement
and course OF study.
The Slaughter school is clothed in a
new dress of glossy varnish and fresh
paint. A bank of windows af the left
affords them glass area equal to about
one-fifth of the floor area. Providing
warm cloak room and supervised hall
way is the only correction worthy Of
note standing between them and a
standard Plate"
There are some very good schools in
the east of this county and everything
is going finely.
The Clinton school, Hudson No. 5.
has installed floor warmer system and
ventilator put out by the Round Oak
Co. This district suffered a severe
loss by fire two years ago and should
be given special credit for the hold
which they have taken OF things in the
brief time which they have had in
which to recuperate.
The Heart Lake school in Hudson
No. 4. has been repainted, reshingled
and the interior tinted in approved
shades.
There has been an undercurrent of
thought to the effect that Hudson and
Boyne Valley are lonely numbering
country To be sure in many cases the
schools are small but, say, for equip
ment and school spirit they will make
some of our schools nearer town sit up
and take notice.
Report your truancy, teachers, check
il and double check it. After a case
has been in the truant officers hands
once report directly to him. The law
is going to be enforced and it is up to
you.
Home credit verify booming. 9S par
ents out Of every one hundred boosting
for this method of cooperation. OF
course the system has been made COM
pulsory by requiring these credits be-
fore a child can be promoted but for
the big majority Of teachers and par
ents this clause would not have been
necessary. The teachers have all been
boosters and the parents have proved
to be monarchs behind their thrones.
Our boys and girls have shown an al
most unbelievable energy.

Consistency Of Free Traders.

Senator James Hamilton Lewis.

granting independence to the Philip
pines the United States should impose
a condition that no tariff duties shall
he levied upon any imports or ship
ments from the United States. I'm
this manner, by exempting US from
these customs duties, We will to some
small extent recover some Of the vast
millions we have expended, out OF a
noble spirit, in behalf Of these Islands
If this is not a clear cut admission
that, giving free entry for our gooos
into the Philippines will resultsto The
benefit of our producers, what is 1t?
The population Of the Philippine Is
lands is 100000. During the calendar
year 1915, the Islands took our goods
to the value of over $26,o00.000. The
population of the United States is
over 1oo,00o0OO. The standard OF
living is the highest in the world.
We dress better, are better housed,
and eat better food than any
other people. If American producers
can reap an advantage from free entry
of their goods into the Philippine Is
lands, as Senator Lewis admits, think
Of the advantage to our European and
Oriental competitors in having a free
American market for their goods!
From the Democratic viewpoint. Sena-
tor Lewis Opened his mouth and put
his foot in it, Or, he has put himself
on record as willing, through the
agency of free trade, to put hundreds
Of millions of dollars of American
money, and untold trade advantages

rivals.
