We school children patriotically wore the Cuban flag pins especially
after Hobson sank the Maine. I remember thrilling to the romance of a
Scranton young man who returned from [url=http://www.mansmanifesto.com]www.mansmanifesto.com[/url] the Spanish American War. His young
bride walked beside him down main street [url=http://www.msc-sahc.org/moncler.asp]moncler pas cher[/url] while the band played and crowds
cheered. The Illinois picnic was the annual big event for Green County. So
many people of [url=http://www.rivaluta.it/hot/hogan.asp]outlet hogan[/url] the community were natives of Illinois.
During high school years I worked for my room and board. I stayed in the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Lewis of Scranton, [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/louboutin.php]louboutin pas cher[/url] Iowa as my mother had moved
farther from town. While staying with Mrs. Lewis, a dedicated Methodist, I
was coerced into joining the Methodist Church. (Years later, Lloyd would
mention in passing that he was nearly thrown out of the Iowa McClurg clan for
marrying a Methodist.)
The graduating class of Scranton High consisted of thirteen very
sophisticated young people in 1905. My dress was of white silk mull -- very
thin with a slip or rather corset cover and petticoat combined underneath.
Shoulder straps of blue showed through the dress, a terribly bold arrangement
in those days. I wore a blue ribbon on my graduation hat. I was proud of that
hat. It was called a "shadow picture hat.
My high school diploma was 18 x 122 inches in size. Sometimes they were
framed by proud parents and hung in the parlor. It was given to the graduate
in a roll tied with class colored [url=http://www.msc-sahc.org/moncler.asp]moncler doudoune[/url] ribbons. Everyone was given one, but if
grades were not satisfactory, it was not signed.
Having graduated from high school in June, by attending a ten day normal
institute in July held in Jefferson, taking the examinations and passing
them, I was eligible for a county certificate. However, because I was not yet
18 years old, only 16, they could not legally issue my certificate, but a
school board could hire me. So I began [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]jordan pas cher[/url] teaching in September, 1905. I had
twenty-six pupils at a salary of $26 a month for fall, winter and spring
terms. After each term, a teacher either renewed her agreement or was not
offered one. Among my pupils were my own brother, Clifford Rhoades and Alma
Baker, who later married my brother Oscar.
During our courtship, Lloyd trained two horses to follow the opposite of
commands, whoa and giddy-up. This was to impress the audience. One day, he
challenged a fellow to a race and when they got lined up ready to go, he
yelled, Whoa! His horses started out fast while the opponents horses halted
and Lloyd won the race.
He usually carried a little book together with a stub pencil, (in which he)
sometime copied jokes or wise sayings. Sometime the small book became a
diary. Once he was the clerk at a box supper. There in was his records of the
sales of 20 young men vying to buy the prettiest girl's box. The lowest price
paid was $.25 while the [url=http://www.hanesmorgan.com]hollister outlet[/url] highest went for $2.85, paid by Charlie Raaz. Lloyd
paid $1.62 for a box lunch. (She didn't say if it was her lunch.)
The Chicago North Western Railroad went across a small tunnel built large
enough for a horse and wagon to go underneath the railroad tracks. We called
it the arch. It was built of carefully laid rock, some of which was placed
there by Uncle Charlie Wright, the man who married Lloyd's sister. The arch
became our favorite courting place. The bridge over the Coon River was also a
favorite place with the free flowing water and tall trees.
In l908, (nine months before they married) Lloyd's brother wrote him of the
many advantages to be found in relocating to Colorado. He was advised that
all he would need to buy after arriving was two horses. In those days, some
people were relinquishing their land and it could be bought at a reasonable
price, such as 80 acres for $250.
Lloyd wrote a letter (to) the preacher for an appointment for he and I to be
married. We thought we had to be married by a church of Christ preacher as
Lloyd had been taught they were the only religious group that were certain to
do the correct thing. The preacher, W. G. Roberts, wrote back saying he had
an opening to see [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/louboutin.php]louboutin[/url] him after the third Sunday of September. We started early
in the morning from home to drive to Rippley, about 15 miles. Dave, my
brother, and mother rode with us in the McClurg surrey. When the marriage
ceremony was performed, my brother Dave and my new brother-in-law L. G.
Anderson signed the certificate.
My wedding dress was white with a lace yoke in it. It required twelve yards
of white linen, floor length, with long puffy sleeves, and cuffs and collar
of lace to match. The skirt had 16 gores (sewed pleats). I later died it
black to make a slip and lining for two little coats, one for each of my two
daughters, Nedra and Inez. Lloyd's tie was white, his suit was brown, his
shirt front was finely tucked or pleated. Charivari crowds of men and boys,
only, came to mother's that night. [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/peuterey.php]giubbotti peuterey[/url] After so much noise - in which my mother
took part by banging the drop leaves of the [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]hollister france[/url] dinning table against the table
legs - Lloyd invited them in and passed cigars -- no candy. Many of them I
never saw before. Even Lloyd did not know all of them. Mother cried terribly
hard all during the wedding ceremony. The impression of that incident has
never left me.
Regrettably, I was still bound by my teaching certificate and from that
eventful day, the twenty-third of September, Lloyd and I stayed in the
parental McClurg home. We were planning to go to Colorado to make our home in
the winter. Lloyd sold his horses, buggy, harness, corn and even his fur coat
-- we wouldn't need it in so mild a climate. He had about a thousand dollars
to start homemaking on.
(Written by Lloyd) My wife and I were influenced to journey westward both by
my father's longing to know Colorado intimately and by the fact that my
brother Bury liked the prospective future possibilities of the Western Slope
of the Colorado in Agriculture.
It was beginning to be quite a competitive incident in Greene County, Iowa --
the corn and hog county of the nation -- for a young man to set up his own
outfit for farming there. So after our marriage in September and the
completion of my corn harvest, we set out to the west planning to take up
land under the Gunnison Tunnel Project -- the first completed irrigation
project under the newly enacted Reclamation Act.
Coming away from the rich black soil region of Iowa to the barren [url=http://www.eracorrect.com]mulberry sale[/url] arid soil
covered by spotty groups of sage brush, the prospect of future sustenance
didn't look too rosy to my wife. In fact, she often said she was homesick --
for twenty-five years. I have frequently admitted there were times when I
would have gone back to the midwest again.
Drinking water was hauled several miles in a large barrel, or sometimes, a
milk can. Other water for domestic use was created by dipping the muddy water
from the irrigation ditch and allowing it to settle before using. We arrived
by train in Olathe, Colorado and were met by Bury and Bell on January 26,
1909. It had been raining and winter snows were melting. The mud was a gooey
yellow gray adobe. There were no sidewalks, not even the usual cinder
track-bed under foot as we stepped from the train. We had come that day from
Salida, Colorado starting at 2:00 a.m. by Narrow Gage Train.
As I remember, Narrow Gage Passenger trains were four and one half feet
inside width. It required twelve hours to come over Marshall Pass with two
engines on front pulling and two behind pushing. This pass was abandoned by
the railway about ten years later, as also, did all the Narrow Gage railroads
begin to leave the mountain scenes. I guess we were two wide-eyed youngsters
as we viewed the mountains for the first time.
(In a postcard to his mother-in-law, Lloyd wrote:) September 9, 1909, Dear
Mother,
We are all well and doing fine. We are at Paonia, picking and packing
peaches. Mattie is all right. She packed 110 boxes yesterday at .02 cents a
box. I have worked most of the time at .25 cents per hour. We will go back
home in about ten days. It is nice weather now, but has been raining and
snowed in the mountains. I did not work today but Mattie is. I have a sore
arm that bothers me some picking. Will commence in the morning again. Well,
good-by. Lloyd.
(A letter from Mattie to her mother.)July 9, 1910, Dear Momma,
Lloyd borrowed $60 from the Olathe Banking Company at 1% per month until
maturity was paid and 10% attorneys fees if not paid at maturity.
(Years later, Mattie made this entry in the McClurg family journal) This note
was made to pay for a pretty team of buck skin mares. This team had worked on
the highline canal but they were too small (so were sold). Lloyd and Lester
had a considerable pasture for rent and the horses found themselves enjoying
sweet clover and morning glories. The sweet clover proved fatal to one of the
horses and it died the day after we bought the team. She died of impaction of
the stomach. In December the other one died from drinking alkali water when
too warm. Lloyd had sold Little Fay (their only other horse) for $175.
That, of course, paid this note. We learned a very expensive lesson.
Borrowed $100 from Olathe at 12% interest until paid. Bankers were very
careful about loans, when there were so many new people in a new country.
Taxes paid to County treasure was $2.25, on September 30, 1912. Paid $65
to Toothacre for a cow so small they called her a watch charm.
(Author's note: Lloyd and Mattie McClurg had four children and remained in
the Delta/Olathe area the rest of their lives. At their 50th Wedding
anniversary celebration, Mattie proudly displayed their marriage certificate
for all to see -- only to find the Preacher neglected to [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]hollister[/url] sign it.)

Mercredi, invité au journal télévisé de France 2, il a évoqué la suppression de la prime pour l' en échange d'allégements de charges sociales sur les salaires compris entre 1 et 1,2 smic, une réforme du revenu de solidarité active (RSA) et des mesures concernant les plus hautes rémunérations.
POL?MIQUE
"Un des enjeux majeurs de notre système de protection est de d'un système d'assistanat à un système de sociale tout en corrigeant les abus d'en haut. Le Président a eu le courage de les deux en même temps", s'est félicité M. Wauquiez au Monde mercredi.
Dimanche 19 février, à Marseille, il avait annoncé son projet d' une dose de proportionnelle dans le scrutin législatif et avait promis, en cas de réélection, la baisse du nombre de parlementaires.
Il [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] veut le contre-pied de M. Hollande en annon?ant chaque semaine de nouvelles propositions. Son but : son rythme [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] en faisant en sorte que le débat se fasse autour de ses thèmes plut?t que sur ceux de son rival. Mercredi [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] 22 février, il a à nouveau confié aux parlementaires , qu'il avait des à et encore de nombreuses "surprises" à présenter aux [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Fran?ais.
Jeudi, M. Sarkozy se rendra à Lille pour une [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] visite autour de l'apprentissage et un meeting où il promet encore d'autres annonces.
M. Sarkozy a non seulement repris l'idée de son ministre, mais il l'a renforcé en fixant à sept le nombre d'heures de travaux d'intérêt général, payées au smic.
La plupart de ces mesures ont été proposées par la Droite sociale de , le ministre de la recherche et de l' ces derniers mois.

Autant d'idées reprises mercredi par le candidat de la droite et qui s'inscrivent dans la thématique des "droits et des devoirs" et dans celle des "profiteurs du haut et des dérives de l'assistanat", développées par la Droite sociale.
Ce dernier avait ainsi suggéré, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] au printemps 2011, que les bénéficiaires du RSA soient soumis à cinq heures de travaux d'intérêt [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] général par semaine. Une déclaration qui avait alors suscité une polémique à [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] gauche et chez certains membres de la majorité, comme la ministre des solidarités et de la cohésion sociale . M. Wauquiez avait, par la suite, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] expliqué que cette controverse avait [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] failli lui co?ter son poste.
"DES DROITS ET DES DEVOIRS"
la gauche . C'est la stratégie de pour de son retard par rapport à dans la course à la présidentielle. Le président-candidat estime que son adversaire a commis une erreur [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] en présentant tout son programme dans la foulée de son grand meeting du Bourget, fin janvier. "Du coup, il n'a plus rien à dire", répète-t-il à ses [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] interlocuteurs ces derniers jours.
Ces réflexions, élaborées avec le en communication [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Guillaume Peltier sous l'?il bienveillant [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] de , un des plus proches inspirateurs de M .Sarkozy, avaient été envoyées à la fin de 2011 aux équipes du futur candidat chargées de réfléchir au programme présidentiel.
Autres propositions reprises de la Droite sociale, celles relatives aux plus hauts revenus. En novembre 2011, M.Wauquiez avait proposé la fin des "retraites chapeau", [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] la fixation des revenus des plus hauts dirigeants par les assemblées générales d'actionnaires et non plus par les seuls conseils d'administration et la participation des salariés dans la fixation des salaires des grands patrons.
