Charlevoix County Fair Offers
Day and Night Attractions
Thirty Fourth Annual Even-Sep 17IS-1920-Promises To
Be An ALROund Record Breaker

war canning clubs of the county; can
ming demonstrations by experts from
M. A. c. and many other new educa-
tional features.
The management regrets that at this
time it is forced to announce that il is
just in receipt of word from its free
attraction Bee Ho Gray's Wild West
Show cancelling its contract with the
Association due to the effects of the
draft on its performers. Other free
acts are under consideration which will
be as good or better and which will be
announced next week.
On the midway there will be merry
.go-round, shooting gallery, automatic
base ball game, several tent shows, an
electric show, novelty concessions and
eating stands, chance for every one
to have good time.
The Red Cross will have charge of
the dining hall again this year and will
serve excellent meals at noon and night
tor reasonable price. And it will
also have bowery dance in the after
Moons and evenings.
The grounds are being wired for
electricity and night fair will be held
on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evenings. On each evening there will
be free attractions, band concert, all
exhibition buildings will be open and
each evenings performance will be
closed by grand patriotic fireworks
display fired by an expert sent by
Martins Fireworks Company.
On Wednesday Sept. 18th, grand
war workers parade will be held on
the race track. This parade consists
of forty-three divisions and will be
representative of every war work be-
ing conducted in this country. An
announcement of the features of this
parade will be made next week.
There will be horse races each day
of the fair and they promise to be un-
usually exciting as it is likely there will
be horses from the Southern part of
the State to compete with our Northern
owned horses.
On Friday the Jackie Band of thirty
members together with drill squad of
nine men and three liberty loan speak
ers will be big attraction of the fair.
Every person in Charlevoix County
should plan to attend this fair at least
one day and one evening as it will be
worth attending and as it is the duty of
all residents of this county to support
their county fair and all persons with
articles of good quality should see that
these articles are exhibited at the fair.
There is nothing that will more impress
the people of the United States OF
their ability to win the war than an
agricultural fair with its buildings filled
to the roof with exhibits of good quality.

School Commissioners
Notes-
May L. Stewart. Commissioner

The only districts in the county that
have not established school Libraries at
the present time are: Boyne Valley
No 1, Hudson No. 2, st. James No. 2,
and No. 3, and Peaine No. 2. Thus the
triplicate reports indicate that on the
mainland we have only two schools out
of GA that have no Libraries and in the
Beavers we have three schools that
have no libraries. Let US hope that
1918 will care for this margin that
keeps us from being a 100 per cent
library county.
The following letter has been saved
since last June for just this time. Let
us hope that it gives its own message
of school ideals to parent and student
readers:
Dear Miss Stewart
am writing you line this morning
in regard to Edith's attendance al
school the past nine months. enclose
her report card so you will see that
she was neither absent nor tardy for
the year lin fact for five years. and
believe she has earned a diploma.
wrote the teacher nearly two weeks
ago and she has not answered me. Will
you kindly give this your attention?
Yours very truly,
Mrs. A. G. Struthers.
You may be sure that the above re.
ceived prompt attention. II there is
anything in the school life of every
pupil that will spell interest and sue
cess, it is regular attendance encourag
ed by the unselfish parent and con.
tinued by the diligent student. We
have many who are neither absent nor
tardy for one year at time and we say
praises to the busy farmer who can still
see the need forregular attendance il
his child is to maintain interest and
places this interest above his own i'm
mediate need on the farm.
We have however only few pupils
who are neither absent nor tardy year
after year. The Davis girls have car.
ried this record in the Slaughter schoo
for several years. The CONS was talk
ing with them this summer, and upon
asking them if upon entering the Boyne
City High school this fall they intended
to continue this good record in regular
and punctual attendance, their eye:
shown brightly and they answered
Certainly" Elmer Padgett of the Gil
school told us last year that he wanted
a diploma for being neither absent MOI
tardy for four years, and then wanted
to know il there was such thing as {
big diploma or something if you didn'
miss day for eight years. you may
be sure we would find something.) Hi,
father is busy farmer, with work O
course enough for ten men but hi.
boys life is given to him during schoo
time, the biggest gift his father cal
give him in these days or in any day
to come. There may be several other,
whose names have been hidden lik,
the violet but il kind friends will hell
us to learn their names, we shall surell
be glad to hear from them.

FEMALE TURTLE PROVES
Id TRUE TO DEAD MATE.
In Her Grief She Lays Fl Egos ee'
side the Dispatched Snapper.


GRISWOLD, Conn.-No faunal IA
BILE is this tale of the devotion of .
big swapping turtle to her mate. but
II is vouched for by two good men
and true, Frank Geer and Clifford Barr
Of Of burough of Jewett City.
The two young men were riding
along the road near Butts ridge re-
Gently when they spied an enormous
turtle blocking the way. In order to
prevent the forty-pounder from slip
ping back into the swamp the young
fellows held him by the tail till they
could decide what to do.
AS they had nothing in the shape OF
weapon. 1t was planned that Barr
should stand upon the turtles back
while Geer went to farmhouse half .
mile away to borrow an ak. These
measures suited the young men but
the turtle objected strenuously and
set of toward the swamp. However,
Barr was able to retain his footing on
the shell until Geer returned, when q
few blows of the ak ended the big fell
lows career.
The young men were going on
business errand. SO determined to
leave the cadaver of the turtle In =
grain sack beside the road until their
return.
When they came back few hours
later they were amazed to see the tur.
ties mate gliding on, after having laid
tweEty-one big, white eggs In . hole
which she had dug beside the sack
containing her consort's remains"
II was evident by her actions that
she realized in some instructive way
that something was wrong. She man
aged to escape. but Greer and Barr
have the twenty-one eggs and the de-
funot Papa Turtle.

Beauty is often one woman's thorn in
another woman's flesh.
The little word "but" blunts the point
of many good argument.
Time isn't always money to the man
who does business on credit.
When Dame Fortune goes calling she
utterly disregards "at home" days.
There are many kinds Of foolishness,
but the meanest kind is selfishness.

LINCOLN LIFES
BEAT ORPHEUMS
Steve Rinehart of Fort Wayne
Bowls Sensational Game
in Singles.

After giving the Lincoln Lifes of
Fort Wayne a severe trouncing in
the five-man event the Orpheurls
of South Bend went down TO a bit
giles which were rolled Immediately
afterward. Steve Rinehart of the
Lincoln Hifes went wild in the sin
giles. turning in a score OF 7O3 for
his three games. In his third game
he started off with seven consecu-
tive strikes, then picked off nine
pins in his eighth frame and blew
the remaining single pin. After he
had chalked up row Of five strikes
the spectators surged over to alleys
and where he and Charley Van
Kirk were battling. Rinehart was
now using terrific speed and knock
ing the pins over cieanly. Six
strikes and the crowd began TO yell
for a perfect score. He stepped up
again and crashed the wood for
what proved 70 be his last cOnsecu-
tive strike Bowling ceased on the
other alleys and everyone lent en-
couragement. but the big fellow
failed TO gather even a spare on his
eighth attempt. After the game
Rinehart said that the demonstra-
ton given him as a visitor was n
pure exhibition Of craftsmanship.
Red Farnan, his teammate. VINO
captured fourth place in the all
events at Cincinnati, was another
who helped wreck the hopes of the
Orpheum. In his last nine games
he was credited with but two er-
rOrs, averaging POI. Fat Richards
was the only South Bend bowler 20
win in the singles. Using his IA
nous "dOdo" ball ne hung up 4
score Of 612 as against Krafts 547.
Big Tom" Sharkey and Walter
Messick won over Doehrman and
Farnan IN one set Of doubles. Big
Tom" he Of the white socks, had
bad streak of luck. He started
crashing the pins on the Brooklyn
side. and while his hits were plenty
good enough the pins refused -
fall. This resulted in four splits in
as many frames. However. the big
fellow showed fight and finished up
his game with a III score.
The Fort Wayne team stopped
overnight in South Bend, and on
Sunday Frank Dolph entertained
them with a three-hour automobile
ride. on which they visited many
points Of interest in South Bend.
DOlph also took them to Mishawa-
ka.
