duce, gives church, school and enter
tainment advantages that would be i'm
possible without il.
"Man was not made to live by bread
alone" The social instinct, the get
ting together in an exchange of ideas
real cooperation if you please-is more
important than ever before. Human
contact and human sympathy are worth
more than any dollars-and-cents success
ever can be without them
We have often heard of the problem
OF keeping the boys and girls on the
farm" There is no problem at all
along this line if we realize that boys
and girls are just human beings.
They crave society, the intermingling
with congenial people who can take an
interest in things that interest them.
They want exactly what the live, "get-
together" community can offer them.
Boys and girls leave the farm because
they think they will find elsewhere the
companionship and sympathy which
they need.
The women on the farms came into
their own during the war as never be-
fore. Countless thousands went into
the towns and villages to rub elbows
with their sisters in the common labor
OF the Red Cross and other war relief
work.
In the old days the family lived prac-
tically by itself. They spun and wove
their own cloth, cobbled their own
shoes, and children were educated at
the mothers knee.
All OF these things have changed.
The community has taken the place of
the family. The community spirit, if it
exists as it should, is the most wonder
ful influence in building big, broad
gagged citizenship.
So the people on the farms are ioin-
ing hands with the people in town TO
build the "get together" spirit that
makes them all better and stronger.
The merchants who support local in nsti-
tutions are worthy of the support of
farmers, and in turn these dealers are
ready to support county institutes, calf
clubs, cooking schools, and other com.
munity activities.
II the real cooperative spirit has not
started in your locality, why not make
plans to get up big dinner and meet
ing at some convenient center? Invite
the farmers and the merchants and their
families in; join hands, get together,
and make the town and community
better.
Do not wait for someone else to take
the lead. Go ahead yourself and make
your town the kind of a town you
would like tohave. There are places
where merchants and farmers get to-
gether several times a year; where the
commercial club includes. all of the
farmers and farmers wives; where
good wholesome lectures and entertain.
ments are held for everyone in the vi.
cinity. And the value Of property has
advanced so much that no one would
think of going back to the old policy Of
Everybody for himself"

Boy Poisons
Entire Family
Boyne City Youth Puts Arsenate
OF Lead In Sugar

John E. Mills, Is years Of age, an en-
ployee at the tannery, was arrested last
Friday charged with mixing poison
with food.
John is the adopted son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Mills, 447 Elm street, and
ii is claimed that about month ago he
purchased Arsenate of Lead at a local
drug store with avowed intention OF
poisoning potato bugs. This poison it
is claimed he confessed to have mixed
with can of sugar and soon thereafter
all members OF the family were taken
violently i'll.
AS the family continued to grow
worse and visitors became sick all the
family food supply was replaced-with
the exception OF the sugar-and the
water supply was analized. Then a
, physician was called in and pronoun-
l ced their illness due to arsenic poison
ing.
The house-keeper of the Mills house
hold became suspicious OF John and
after talking to him for some time re-
ported having secured confession.
Prosecuting Attorney Ruegsegger was
notified and the young man was takenbe-
fore him where he again pleaded guilty
and was taken to the county jail al
CharlevoiX.
Mr.. Robert Mills, who is superinten-
dent OF the Michigan Tanning and EX-
tract Company, took John into his
home when he was about six years old.
The boy is not considered bright and it
was out OF pity that Mr.. Mills adopted
him. In his confession John claims
another man put him up to the Job"
but this is not generally believed. All
members OF the Mills family are still in
a serious condition due to the ac-
cumulative effect of the poison but it is
expected they will recover.-Boyne
Citizen.

SCHOOL PREMIUMS
AT THE
COUNTY FAIR

The Judges had difficult time at the
County Fair in the Educational Hail.
They agreed that the point system was
surely necessary in arriving at decisions
on the general display and compliment
ed the schools and teachers in the
county on the splendid amount OF work
and the fine quality of work being done
in the county. Chairman of the board
of judges for city schools was Supt.
Beadle of Harbor Springs, and his
assistants were: Mrs. Beadle, Principal
Bailey and Mrs. Bailey of Harbor
Springs, Commissioner of Schools, Mr.
Washburn, of Petoskey, Supt. Sisson
of Bellaire, Supt. Payne OF Frederic,
Supt. Fissler of Alba, and Principal Of
the County Normal Miss Pitcher OF Kali
kaska. They found that every school
had excelled in some one line and that
pupils in each had done work better
than any other child in the county had
done that particular piece of work. In
arranging the summary they found that
East Jordan had first place, Boyne City
second and Charlevoix third. The
points by grades and departments will
be mailed to each editor and superin-
tendent at later date.
Among the two and three room
schools, lronton won first place, Clarion
.ooonI ond Ct Iop,ac third Tho CT
James school was able to bring only
half an exhibit due to the loss OF the
primary exhibit in the absence OF one
of the teachers last spring. The small
school at Sunny side on Big Beaver
was very close fourth.
Horton Bay was first among the one
room schools, the Robinson School
second, and Advance third. All of the
exhibits were splendid and special
mention should truly be given every
one OF the exhibitors. Murray, Marion
no. 5, East Chandler, Miles, Knop, and
Norwood all We'd with the winners
making them earn their place and COM
ing close to carrying away the honors.
The teachers should surely be COM
mended on their splendid work in be-
half of the boys and girls and their
public spirit in bringing their work for
display at the county fair.
A separate committee handled the
two room and rural school work. OF
this committee, Mrs. M. X. Keyworth of
East Jordan was very able chairman.
She was assisted by Supt A. A. Met
calf and Misses Martin and Bailey OF
Boyne City, Misses Florence Maddaugh
and Brown OF Charlevoix, Supt. Key
worth and Mrs. Maude Blount of East
Jordan. Due to the fact that Miss Mad
daugh was an interested party in one
room school exhibits, she judged in the
two room display only. They agreed
with the board OF judges for city schools
in saying that it is big job to judge
the work piece by piece in so large a
building but were unanimous in the
opinion that the work is immensely
| worth while and that the exhibits should
continue to grow in size and improve
in quality. Our deepest gratitude
should be extended to them for their
hard work in judging the display and
in offering suggestions for the improve
ment of the Charlevoix County Schools.
