Healthy Stock
Will make you money

Provide the right kind of housing for your
stock during the winter and they will repay
you many time over Healthy stock are real
money makers-unhealthy stock are liabil-
tiles.
Take look around your barn. Are there
any cracks and holes through which the cold
wind can blow and cause drafts Are there
any weak places in the roof to let water
through7 A dry barn is necessary to the
health Of your stock.
A little time and money spent in making
your animals secure for the winter is good
investment. If you need more room for
your stock, now is the time to build addi-
tional sheds. Don't neglect it.

try. At this place we had the pleas
ure of meeting Capt. A. G.. Aldrich,
with whom we sailed thirty-five years
ago. We had some rather stirring
experiences that season and still re-
member perfectly the captains fine
seamanship, for which he was and
still is famous among lake men and
travellers in that section OF the state.
The captain is now "a years of age
but is still hale and hearty and has
a fine home at CharlevoiX. But the
greatest trip of all was that to the
Straits and historic Mackinac Island.
From Petoskey we journeyed through
thousands CT acres of sandy wastes,
as new and interesting, IN way,
as any other of the novel thirgs we
were always seeing. Upon arrival
at Mackinac City we had din
ner in a park owned by the state
where there are many conveniences
for tourists. Then we took the old
ferry Algomah across to the island.
There are many scenic beauties at
the island. but the main point of in
terest is the old fort, dating back to
the days of colonial and Indian war
fare, built Of stone masonry and
stretching across the face Of majes-
tic eminence $50 feet above sea level.
The ramparts are still intact, as are
the old block houses that form part
of the ancient defenses, with their
loop holes for observation and rifle
fire. In ancient days the fort was al
most impregnable; now single shell
from naval gun would well nigh
demolish it. 1t is now the property
of the state and is kept in order by
the State Park Commission. The
view from the ramparts of the fort is
simply beyond our power to describe,
the most lovely, grand and inspir-
ing thing we have ever seen. Direct
ly below lies beautiful park in the
center of which stands a heroic statue
of Father Marquette, pioneer mis-
sionary Of the Indians Of Michigan.
On beyond is the great Strait; to the
right is the seemingly limitless ex-
panse of Lake Michigan, to the left
Lake Huron stretches away and be-
hind is the maritime road to Lake
Superior. If you haven't done so,
and it is possible, go and see it. You
will carry the picture in your mind
ever after. The return trip was un-
eventful. 1t was just as pretty as
the up trip and both were so delight
full that it has seemed hard to shake
off the wanderlust and settle down
to the ceaseless grind of labor.

|. o. o. F. PICNIC

Vienna Lodge, No. 191, of Clio,
will hold picnic at North Lake,
which is located about miles east of
Otter Lake. All Rebeccas are in
cluded in this grand celebration.
This picnic is to be held on Monday,
September 6, We want to see every
member of the order present on that
day, Rebeccas as well as Odd Eel
lows. There will be amusements of
all kinds at the Lake, but the main
feature on the bill is ball game,
which will be staged in the after
noon. The teams will all be mem
bers of the Order. There is consd-
cradle strife at present in regard to
the final outcome of the game, but
as the time draws nearer the players
on both seem to be imbued with
thoughts and feelings almost beyond
their control p. l.. Chown and E.
w. Hyman will be official umpires for
the game. They have been advised
to have all business matters attend
ed to on or before that date, as no
doubt before the fatal ninth inning

MRS. RUNDLETT HONORED

This little item is belated because
we went away on our vacation and
failed to put it in proper shape for
publication. But that is no reason
why it should not appear at present
and the venerable lady be shown
proper regard. About two or three
weeks ago Mrs. A. ID. Rundlett, one of
the most estimable ladies of this sec
tion, attained her 88th birthday
on which occasion she was gladdened
by the unexpected appearance at her
home of a large number of her chill
dren and other relatives. A grand
good time followed, during which all
honor was paid to the aged mother,
and splendid old time dinner was
served. Those present were Charles
Lacure and wife and John Lacure
and wife, of Saginaw; Dell Rundlett,
wife, and son, Everett, of Birch Run,
Mr.. ana Mrs. George Lacure and
son, Hilton, and Miss Mabel Black
ney, of~this place. On the day
after the birthday party, Mr.. and
Mrs. Earl Lacure, of Lansing, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Lacure. of Owosso,
came to pay their respects to their
grandmother, Mrs. Rundlett.

a catch of two hundred of the speck-

this was his first trip it is not his

ping himself around seventeen for
supper Fred said it was the end of
a perfect day. While the boys
were preparing dinner in the wilder
ness on Saturday Fred settled down
to rest in anticipation of another
heavy feed, but unfortunately he
chose very poor spot, mistaking a
nest of yellow jackets for the end of
a log. He says yellow jackets have
the most perfect organization on
