ton. During the summer the school
board had the wood shed repaired,
lowered the black boards, built new
steps, remodeled the halls to provide
warm, separate cloak rooms, installed
two chemical toilets, and bought new
adjustable, single seats. This is the
school formerly known as the Camp %
school, technically Chandler No. 6, and
is composed largely of waste, cut over
lands and slashings. Maybe this district
is far from the post office, but the
school spirit and thoughtful activities
are enough to make some of our larger
and more prosperous districts sit up
and take notice.
Chandler No. 5, the old Blaine School
has all new adjustable seats now. Sorry
not to have known ii sooner, for this is
another bit of worthy activity from the
wooded hills of Charlevoix County.
Next time you go by old Camp %, stop
in and visit the school. The artist visit
ed the Mackey school and left on its
walls, four of his masterpieces. The
Schneider School in east Chandler re-
port new fountain, book case, maps
and dictionary stand, and the water
supply problem still unsolved. The
Gill school, Chandler No. 4, let us know
about their new belfry and school bell
some time ago, but il seemed good to
rejoice with them at the sound of the
bell. Miss Blanchard in Hudson No. 8
netted $3.50 at pie social purpose OF
which was to buy Xmas presents for
the girls and boys.
Mrs. Macintosh reports unusual sue
cess in the selling of tuberculosis seals
throughout the entire country. 1000 on
Wednesday sold in Boyne City alone,
and some of the rural teachers have
asked for second supply.
See the story Of the Hopyard school
in another column of this paper. II is

read between the lines.

annual corn and vegetable show at the

School Commissioners
Notes--
May L. Stewart. Commissioner

A brim full joyful week Seven
schools visited in Chandler, previously
quaranteened for infantile paralysis.
Township tescher's meeting with every
teacher present. Two little short calls
in Melrose. Report work Strengthened
up in Evangeline. Two schools in Bay
visited that were formerly passed by
because of potato vacation. Bay num-
Der 3 has school house newly plaster
ed and has improved the seating condi-
tons, to some extent. They have
eleven new books for their library.
Horton Bays new seats were described
in previous issue of this paper They
are worthy of second notice. Odds and
ends cared for in Boyne City. Clean
ings in Advance. Standard Plate pre-
sented to Hayes No. 2. And district
vegetable display in the Mountain
School to round up the week.
Maple Grove School was dismissed
on Thursday afternoon in order that
their teacher might witness the present
ing of the Standard Plate to the Hop
yard School.
A worthwhile week spent with the
girls and boys and fathers and mothers.
Walloon Lake primary room has ex-
changed the prize money won at the
county fair last fall for pencil sharpen
er, bookcase and little folks reading
material. Everything going nicely at
Clarion. The Forest Hill school earned
$3.50 at Xmas social with a purpose
OF making the little souls happy when
Santa Claus comes. The parents in this
neighborhood surprised the teacher
with Thanksgiving dinner on Wed.
nesday the 10Th, and the school feels
so encouraged at the active, hearty
interest thus shown, that their eyes
continue to shine with Joy and anticipa.

Few prizes in money were offered and
many special prizes were offered by
the Boyne City merchants. II is good
movement with the farm life ideal as its
central motive.
The director of the Walker school re-
ports that the long delayed shipment of
seats and black boards arrived at the
school in good condition and that it
makes a great deal of difference in the
looks of their schoolroom. We agree
with him knowing further that it would
make big difference anywhere.
Pilgrim social in the German Settle
ment and clear gain of $1,000 in one
fell swoop. This means that they have
ordered a new organ and that the
teacher can pay half towards drink
ing fountain and the school board will
furnish the rest. They are rejoicing
also over large order of library books
including many for the little folks.
New kindergarten chairs in the Iron
ton primary room, purchased with the
prize money won at the county fair in
September.
There are two cement block school
houses in the county. One confronts
daily the heating problem, how to keep
warm. The other is confronted with a
second serious problem, how to keep
dry. Uncle Obidiah would like to learn
the sure solution and to see that solu-
ton effectively applied.
At the first of the week there had
been but Is children reported who had
gained the necessary 500 or 1000 home
credits for the school year. And now
at the close of the week we find the
following wonderful records awaiting
us. complete from the Curfew school
I from the fainter school, from the
Clark school, from the Harmon school

school, and three from the Three Bells
school. Space forbids our publishing

Mason To Vote On Bonds.

Maysville, Ky. May County
Judge Rice has called the election
for the issue of 100000 in bonds,
the money to be used for the pur-
pose of rebuilding the turnpikes in
Mason county, for Saturday, June
"a. II is expressly understood that
the work is to be done according to
specifications and under the super
vision of competent road builder,
and not under the rules prescribed
by the model road" builders. This
bond issue will no doubt carry, and

thorities to not only rebuild the four
leading turnpikes, but to make tho
side roads and feeders as good as II
is possible to be done with what
money is available.

THE BEDFORD MURDER
THEORY NOW ACCEPTED
Thorough Search For His Body
Has Been Inaugurated and
Reward Extended.

Lexington, KY, May 4.-Accept-
ing the conclusion that Samuel w.
Bedford, an insurance man of this
city, who has been missing since
February is, is dead, the search
committee of personal friends,
church and Knights of Pythias as
sociates is now directing its ener-
gies to find his body, and to this end
the caves and ravines of the river
cliffs near High Bridge are being
systematically examined. Mr.. Bed
ford was last seen, as far as can be
positively proved, at High Bridge on
February g and early in the after
noon left there with the expressed
intention of crossing over to the
Mercer county side of the river to
spend the night with a cousin.
The only trace of him which has
since been found was his watch
charm, which was picked up several
weeks after his disappearance on
the Mercer county cliff side, some
distance from the southern end of
the bridge.
1t is believed that the death strug-
gle took place at the spot where the
watch-charm was found and as it
would be difficult to carry the dead
body of a man from that point to
the river it is thought to be prob
able that Mr.. Bedford's corpse was
not thrown into the water, but was
more likely hidden in some conye-
pient crevice in the cliff. The search |
now being made will positively de-
termine whether this was done or
not, and if when concluded the !
search has not revealed the body, the
Investigation of Mr.. Bedford's fate !
will practically come to an end, as
there would be little or no hope now
of finding the remains if they had
been thrown in the river. 1t is
stated that when the water is cold,
as it was at that period of the year,
q dead body would not necessarily |
rise to the surface, but would re-
main for some time in state of !,
preservation and would have been |
long since carried far down the Ken
lucky river.
A letter was received by the COM
mittee TODAY from Mr.. Bedford's
wife, who is with her brother, G. e.
Bowden, at Martin, Tenn, asking |
for information, or any develop !,
ments.
The reward of $500 offered for
the discovery of the body of Mr..
Bedford, dead or alive, within a |
period of thirty days from April s."
will be extended beyond the eXpira- :
ton of the thirty-day limit, which ,
expires Monday.

WARS MAKE PRESIDENTS
OF the UNITED STATES
Army Records Have Helped To
Put Many Soldiers in
White House.

II General Pershing captures Will;
and saves his own army his militar,
record will outshine that of Theo
dore Roosevelt.
But leading the Rough Riders In
Cuba was sufficient to make tht
Colonel President of the United
States. What will be Pershing's re-
ward?
The last Mexican war made Gen.
eral lack Taylor-a comparative
nobody-President, and made him
President when there were living
the ablest coteries of American
statesmen since the original group
who founded our nation.
Yes, old Rough and Ready's shout
der straps carried him to the White
House when such aspiring politi-
cal leaders as Clay, Webster, Sew
ard, Fessenden, Benton, Calhoun.
Chase, Douglas and Everett were
left at home.
We are a peaceful people, but We
do love a fighter.
Every one of our wars has made
President and the Civil War made
several.
Washington, Jackson and Taylor
were direct products of the Revolu-
ton, the War of 1912 and the Mex
lean War.
FIT. Donelson, Shiloh, Vicksburg,
Chattanooga, the Wilderness and
Appomattox were Grants stepping
stones from obscurity to two terms
as President.
Garfield was a brilliant young off,
Ger, and SO was Rutherford b.
Hayes. The war record of Hayes
made him Governor of Ohio, and
that put him in the Presidential
class.
A Major in Colonel Hayes regi-
ment was William Mckinley, and
many of you voted for him, as you
also voted for Roosevelt, who never
stopped galloping after that hot day
at San Juan in 1898 until he had
been twice President.
We are close to the nominating
but as that mysterious
Roman guy warned Caesar to be-
ware the Ides of March, so l warn
all Presidential aspirants now to be-
ware of Pershing if he comes home
from Mexico with Villa upon his
shiel Philadelphia Ledger.
