Boyne Falls
Has Fire Loss
Stores and Stock Destroyed
Amounting to $4,000.

At little before one o'clock Monday
morning, fire was discovered in the
soft-drink and grocery store of Mr..
Krooch in Boyne Falls. The flames
rapidly spread to the general store OF
H. Jaffee and the dwelling of Edward
Eddie, all three of these buildings were
completely destroyed.
The fire had gotten well under way
when detected, and as the local fire
apparatus failed to satisfactorily re-
spond when brought to the scene of
the conflagration, the Boyne City de-
partment was notified about 1:30, and
the truck with four fremen responded.
making the seven mile run, over very
slippery roads, in eighteen minutes.
The city department wa summoned
so late, that upon its arrival little could
be done, save protect the surrounding
buildings, no water was used by them,
the chemical being sufficient. The fire
evidently started in the Krooch store,
the building belonging to Mr.. Eddie,
and the Krooch stock, the general stock
of Mr.. Jaffee, and the household goods
of Mr.. Eddie were destroyed with the
three buildings. The loss is estimated
at $20,000.00 and is supposed to be
pretty well covered by insurance.

Working may be pleasure but it is
somewhat owing to whom you are

Probably the main trouble with peo-

dice has made sightless.

Community
Christmas Tree
Various Committees are Arrang-
ing for Big Holiday Event.

p East Jordan is going to have Com
munity Christmas Tree again this year.
The tree is to be placed on the corner
opposite the State Bank of East Jordan
and the exercises will be held on Mon
<day evening, Dec. 23rd, at 500 o'clock.
The plan is to have a very attractive
Christmas tree and to present small
gift to every boy and girl present and
to prepare Xmas boxes for worthy
families. These boxes are to be de-
livered on Tuesday.
The Community Christmas Tree is
being promoted by the City Commits
sion who have appointed certain COM
mittees to look after the detail work.
The work of the committees has been
divided up with the following persons
as heads: Roy Webster will have
charge of securing the tree, putting il
up, and decorating it; Howard Porter
gets all subscriptions and makes the
purchases; M. r. Keyworth looks after
the program; c. H. McKinnon arranges
for the distribution of the boxes; Mrs.
Merchant and Mrs. Chapman have
charge of the receiving rooms and the
packing of the boxes.
The Community Christmas Tree can
not be success unless the people in
the community practice the spirit OF
Christmas and thereby assist in making
the tree success. Both subscriptions
and donations are needed. Mr.. Porter
is placing Christmas boxes at various
points in the city. People are asked to
drop money into these boxes. Sub.
scriptions will also be taken to secure
money. In addition to this, donations
are asked. These donations may be
brought to the Red Cross rooms on
ksAither next Saturday or Monday. The
Ned Cross rooms will be open from
200 o'clock in the morning until 500
r. clock at night.
~ tits desired that the donations con-
sist of food, clothing, or Christmas toys.
The food may be anything suitable for
the Christmas season, such as fruit,
meat, etc. Clothing should consist OF
knit goods, such as mittens, stockings,
and all wearing apparel suitable for
children. 1t is expected that all gifts
of clothing shall consist of new articles.
The toys may consist of the usual toys,
in fact anything that will make children
happy at Christmas time. Remember
that these must be brought to the Red
Cross on either next Saturday or Mon
day.
The Joy of Christmas is derived from

Concerning the Handicraft Club or
ganized in Bay Shore last week we re-
ceive the following joyous note from
the teacher: 81 want to tell you how
splendidly we are getting along with
our Handicraft Club. We have now
nine work benches ready for work.
Every boy has been able to bring part
of the tools needed. If every teacher
knew the difference it makes in the
order and work of the room, she would
start club right away, each boy tries
his best in school in order to gain the
extra time in the work ROOM" Ethel
Brotherton, teacher.
w. S. S. report for past week is as
follows: Total amount of Sales for

$l081.75 Rural Schools. First place
during the past week goes to Lakeside

City Schools report total ownership of
Thrift and War Savings stamps to
amount of SPILLS. No record was
made of amount sold by pupils. We
hope to publish East Jordan and Boyne
City reports next week.
May we turn aside for moment
from our rural school activities in
order to thank the Charlevoix City
schools for an jour OF splendid enter
tainment on Friday afternoon a week
ago. The commissioner had the good
fortune to be present in the building
when the regular Friday afternoon pro-
gram was to be presented under the
direction of the English department.
"Hooverising for Hoover" was a well
chosen and well dramatized little
playette, but then there were other
good things, too, and it makes us look
back over the past and realize that
English is at last coming into its own,
and the language resurrection is at
hand.

ran into the finest debate you ever
heard on the value of attending NOV
ing picture shows. 1t was for sopho-

mores won, but had to fight pretty
hard to get the extra vote for their
victory. We wish that the theatre
of the state could have been
present for there is nothing like getting
the other fellows view point.

THE RED CROSS
BY HENRY VAN DYKE.

Sign Of the Love Divine
That bends to bear the load
OF all who suffer, all who bleed,
Along life's thorny road.
Sign Of the Heart Humane,
That through the darkest fight
Would bring to wounded friend and
foe
A ministry of light.
oh Gear and holy sign,
Lead onward like a start
The armies Of the just are thine,
And all we have and are.

School Commissioners
Notes
May l.. Stewart, Commissioner

Fall term examination questions sent
out during the week. Each teacher
this term will adapt them to her own
needs as so much time has been lost
that uniformity can not be obtained
even in the essentials. The outline
may be of considerable help in assisting
teachers to plan amount to be covered
before conclusion of winter term.
The December Junior Red Cross
topic is the history and purpose of the
Red Cross. Pamphlets were distribut-
ed for this work, and the following
pledge sent to every district:-"We
pledge allegiance to our flag, to our
country, to the Red Cross, and to the
Citizenry about us. We shall study
under the guidance of our teacher
sanitation, salvage, the history and pur-
pose OF the Red Cross, and such other
beneficial topics as the American Red
Cross shall deem expedient in order
that we may develop into better citi-
zens for our native land" We agree
to perform acts of neighborly kindness
and civic welfare right in the corner
where we are in order that we may be
better citizens both now and in the
years to come" 'To us the pledge to
the flag shall be living prayer and we
shall live 1t day by day and hour by
hour. To be signed by teacher and
officers of Junior Red Cross.
A few schools have not yet been
heard from in the Junior Red Cross
work, but it is to be expected that
every one will complete organization
this week, and make the county 100
per cent before the 10Th. Christmas
Roll call for adults begins the 10th. All
should be ready 10 assist the workers
to put our county over the top.
A summary of school enrollments for
opening OF school year shows that 1419
pupils are enrolled in the rural schools
of this county, in ST. James and Boyne
Falls Public Schools This is an average
of twenty pupils for each teacher in
cluded in these reports.
The Lakeside school where Miss
Ruth Malpass is teaching had a very
successful program on Nov. 2Sth. Miss
Malpass was happy to report that they
had sold thirteen War Savings Stamps,
and had earned enough money to make
the school 100 per cent Junior Red
Cross.
The Boyne Falls school had been do.
ing some splendid war work and only
part OF it is checked by the coming OF
peace. A big box of pits and nut shells
had been collected under M. A. c.
directions for making of gas masks.
The children are making quilt for the
local Red Cross Branch and Miss Rich
ards says this will be completed of
course. The grammar grade room had
sold twelve dozen pencils for the
American Novelty Company and had
earned thereby fine brown tone pic
ture of General Pershing.
The Knop school raised sl2.95 in the
Patriotic Social. Miss Cook says they
have plenty of busy work now and that
they have a fine new flag which the
pupils earned all by themselves.
