Altbo Glare and tbe
community always torn out ..well to
tbe Decoration Day exercises every
year tbe crowd of {Monday was tbe
largest ever. Dozens of antos went
early to Cherry Grove cemetery to
secure favorable parking; places" At
one o'clock tbe procession, which
had» been well organized under tbe
direction of Jamea S. Bicknell,^mar-
sball ot the day, left the City park.
It was led by the newly organized
band directed by Norris Elden. Then
came the boys of the American Legion in uniform and marching in
military rank. < Following the boys
.in khaki came the boyB in blue, fewer
in number and riding in automobiles,
some of them out upon one of tbe
few occasions of the year which
draws them from tbe easy chair in
the'living room at home. At the j The
school grounds the pupils, each carrying-a flag, fell in back of the veterans, fcscores of automobiles brought
top the rear of tbe procession.
The program was started promptly
by Chairman James F. Tat man. The
band played a stirring number followed by the singing of America by
. the entire crowd led by the band and
the pupils of tbe city schools. Rev.
Badgley offered prayer. "Ae ritualistic work t*t tbe Soldiers' Monument
" waa conducted by Jojtn Hampton,
PoBt Commander of tbe Grand Army,
Chaplain J. W. Reed assisted by
Philo Smith, and the bring squad of j
tbe American Legion under tbe command of Post Commander IS. L.
Tibbils. "Ready. Aim. Fire."
Three times the salute of the firing
squad paid tribute to our fallen dead.
>■ After another selection by tbe band
Chairman Tatman made the opening
speech, substantially as follows:
- •'Fifty-three years ago the highest
representative officials of our nation
set aside May 30 as Decoration Day,
a day for tbe nation to pay its respects to tbe nation's honored dead.
Since tbat time the nation has added
new luster to its honor and dignity
' by the Spanish American war and
• the great World war tbat ie not
closed.*
"I believe the veterans of the rebellion of today feel tbat the nation
each year has been faithful to its duties to the memory of tbeir fallen
comrades, but I wonder if vXe today
,. fully comprehend tbe sadueas and
~~ solemnity of sixty thousand American homes made so by the loss of a
precious son once the cherished hope
of the family. Besides these we have
y thousands xnained for life. Let us
not forget the true significance of
Decoration day.
•*The country is in a great turmoil,
dissatisfaction on every hand. Many
of our institutions are in danger and
it should be our most careful concern by every true American citizen
ae to the highest interest of every institution in tbe land. The greatest
of these institutions we most depend
upon in tbe solving of these perplexing problems is our schools and for
this reason we secured one of Michigan's : big educator's to address us.
tbis afternoon. Prof-. Webster H.
Pierce of the Central State Normal
School."
Space this week does not permit a
complete summary of Mr. Pierce's
excellent address,. He began by
pointing out America's IttpGfidP position among the nations " *■**-
world and of history
Tbe fact tbat Clare bas a way of
winning most everything^ln sports
this year was again borne out by the
results at the interscholastic track
meet at Gladwin last Friday. Gladwin, wbo evidently expected to take
all tbe events, pnt up three band
some cups for the tennis matches besides several individual^ medals.
Olare and Gladwin were tbe only
schools to enter, tbe tennis tournament. In tbe preliminary matches
Waller defeated 6-2, Vernest defeat-
8urrounding|ed Hyde, 6-4, and 'Monk' Thompson
took tbe rubber from Raymond 6-4.
Waller took the finals from Vernest,
winning two sets, 6 3 and 6-1. Waller's performance^ on the clay court
carried out his reputation as the
most reliable man with tbe racquet
In Clare. Thompson also earned a
name for himself when he defeated
Gladwin's best man.
In suite of tbeir lack of practice
tbe Olare track team showed up well
in the afternoon events. Canfield
took second place in both tbe half
mile and running broad jump. - Dun-
can^took tbird in the running high
jump. Percy Stough won tbird place
in the running broad jump while Al
Doherty did the same in the standing
high jump. Tbe relay team brought
up second place in the mile relay,
work of tbe fellows at Gladwin
gives promise of a crack tennis and
track team next year.

The Methodist Church was crowd
ed to capacity at the union memorial services Sunday morning. Rev.
Badgley gave a splendid address,
his subject being "The Awakening of the Nations".
Music of an exceptional quality
was rendered by a .ladies1 quartette
composed of Mesdamea Wood, Reading, Elden and Johnson and a sextette with Mr. Cndney and Mr. Elden.
Rev. Badgley said in substance:
From the place of his habitation he
looketh upon all the inhabitants of
the earth. He fasbionetb their hearts
alike. Ps. 33:13.
The Renaissance of Asia and
America's Responsibility. It bas
long been an accepted idea tbat the
four most prominent events in modern history are tbe Invasion of the
of tbe Roman Empire by tbe Barbarians, the Crusades, the Renaia-
■mcfl. and the French Revolution.
Tbe Continent of Asia, with its pop- ]
ulation of 850,000,000 bas been passed
in silence. Historians of tbe modern
WQirl<3, &fi & rule, paid but little respect to India, Japan, and China.
The reader was reminded tbat these
nations occupied a place on tbe map, •
but we*?<» not considered as participating in the affairs of the great world.
It it far different today. Tbe
fapidity of the movement in tbe
Eastern hemisphere hjis been sueb
that only those wbo climb high towers can take In the situation. Asia
has joined tbe world. Tbe Western
culture bas projected itself eastward,
as formerly the Eastern culture projected itself westward. There Is to
be one standard, one life for the
world. This is a fact ot momentous
import. It bears vitally upon tbe
problem of tbe permanent Tpeace of
the world. "^
Certainly no one will deny that

Michigan's law governing the speed
of automobiles bas been amended
through the efforts of the Detroit
Automobile club, so tbat motorists
may use tbe highways witb a reasonable degree of assurance tbat tbey
are not going to be yanked into some
rural justice court and assessed costs
or fines for a technical violation of
the law says the Detroit Free Press.
The Penney bill, otherwise known
as the headlight law, carried the
amendment to the speed law. ft was
introduced by Senator Harvey Penney,
Saginaw, and was passed towards tbe
end of the session at Lansing. Like
other laws it become effective 90 days
from date of passage, wnich will bring
tbe law into operation in tbe iatter
days of July.
It is not to be understood by any- j
body that the change in law allows
speed crazy motorists to go out and
drive at break-neck speed regardless
of the rights of others or of eon-
sequences. The section defining reckless driving remains in tbe law, which
means that a person may be guilty of
tbat charge even though tbey are
within the speed limit allowed under
the statutes.
Under the amended law tbe speed
in the business districts of cities,
towns and villages is increased to 15
miles per hour from 10 miles, in residence sections, to 20 miles - per hour
from 15 miles, and on state highways
to 35 miles per hour from 25 miles.
This gives any motorists sufficient
latitude so that there need . be no
occasion for violating the law.-
Tbe general opinion is that tbe
amended law will be almost a death
blow for the speed traps and road
patrols operated in many sections
jointly by constables, deputy sheriffs
and justices of the peace. Motorists
should remember tbat tbe new law is
not operative until tbe latter part of
July.
According to figures given out by
the state highway department recently, the four new . trunk line highway
bills that were passed by tbe recent
session of the legislature are going to
alter materially the department's
ipians for the improvement of tbe
state's highway system.
A total of 515 miles -was added by
tbe new laws. When tbe 850,000,000
bond issue was authorized two years
ago, tire trunk line mileage of the
state was approximately 63,000 miles
.of which about 300 miles were .within
the corporate-limits of cities and villages. Under the construction plan,
perfected by tbe highway department
since that time, and now being car.
ried out, the S50,000*,000"obtained from
the sale of bonds will just about pro'
yide for improvements on roads already planned. ;Vy-t/-/> ~ - - x -
If the 5i5 miles of new road authorized by the 1921 legislature are also to
be constructed under the present plan
it will maan the forced abandonment
of some of tne projects already under
way. The only other alternative will
be for tbe 192^ legislature to make
provision in some manner to grant
the highway department^ approximately $6,000,000 more to pay for the
construction of the 515 miles of new
roads.
HOME COMING
MONDAY, JULY 11
Glare To Again Do Herself
Proud. Entertainment \
And Sports Already
Being Planned.
A crowd of more tban four hundred
fans witnessed the opening game of j
the Five County League series at tbe
City Field Decoration Day. Any who
came after tbe first inning saw an airtight ball game, for Clare ecored the
only runs of tbe game in Ihelr half of
the first frame. ''Eddie"t Hubel
drove one for a bit fire*t time up and
was advanced to third by Q. Gorr's
smashing two-bagger. Harrold chased
botb bis predecessors in by a clean
hit to left field and rested on second.
Haley sacrificed Harrold to third and
the latter came in on two overthrows.
Tbe rest of the game was largely a
pitching duel in which Terwilliger
easily bad an edge on his opponent;
altho Barryton after the first inning
played a brand of ball tbat no team
need feel ashamed of this early in tbe
season. Everyone of the Clare boys
are to be congratulated upon tbeir
performance. - The fielding was fast
and the errors few for early season
work. "'•"-.' /" " r .. :
Barryton failed to carry thru ber
few opportunities to scorg^ In the
second inning Wood and Wolverton
died on third and second when Nelson struck out; Doll Hubel fielded
the effort of Bannister. Again in tbe
eighth tbey had a good chance at tbe
score board after two were down.
Bannister had a track ont and Jerae
was out on a grounder to second.
Carmikle made a good single to extreme left, and stole second and was
advanced^a. tbird by Gilbert's safe
tap. But wl^b second and tbird full
Van Sickle was'retired on a grounder
to first. The most sensational battery
work of^the day was in tbe first of
tbe ninth. The baW grazed Carmikle'e
side.' He grabbed bis arm, which
was more convenient, and went to
nrjBt. An error left Wood safe on first
with Carmikle standing on tbe next
sack. Wolyerton sacrificed, filling
second and tbird. Then Gorr told
Terwilliger to strike ont tbe next twe
up, which be obligingly did^and the
game was over.
The best chance the-local boys bad
to increase tbe chalk marks came in
the sixth, but didn't materialize until
after two were down. Harrold was
handed a pass and went clear to third
when Haley submitted one to second
wbicb was. tob warm to handle with
comfort. But the visiting battery
opened up a special box and gave
Wood the three wierd ones.
The* umpire was good. He made
Close decisions but held tbe respect
of both sides and the crowd, which
is quite an achievement.
Altogether, the managers, players
and fans are all to be congratulated
on the prospects evidenced by the
opening game. Let's keep up the
good work.
Class
One of the features of tbe parade
on Decoration Day more distinguished than any previous year, was tbe
fact tbat four generations of tbe
Stevens family were represebted as
color bearers. •>
Henry C Stevens, who baa been
color bearer for the G. A R. Hancock
Post for nearly a baif century, owing
to his recent illness, was unable to
leave tbe auto and was represented
by his daughter, Mrs. Ethel. 8tevens-
Wbiteley, of- Dowagiac, wbo is a
member of the Daughters of tbe
American Revolution, Ralph A.
Stevens, a grandson, who served in
tbe Navy of tbe World War was color
bearer of tbe Larmon Post of tbe
American Legion, Elizabeth Stevens,
I a grand daughter, led the school
children as color bearer, while just
proceeding tbe school children was
little 4 year old Arthur John Stevens,
a great grand son, who carried tbe
American flag, dressed in full navy
custom. — ■ • . .
Tbe Stevens family bave been rep
resented in the past three great wara,
tbe Revolution; Civil and the World
War and are American's every-one.

Simultaneously with the signing of
the armistice, the Michigan War
Preparedness board began gathering-
historical, biographical and military
data concerning all men who had represented the state during the world
war. "• :■-'■■- - : ^X:[ .. -..-* _.'.^-.■ -. -.
All who were in tbe training canape

The intention of the state was tc
pay a tribute to the service of eacb
individual soldier and sailor and tc
bu Id ug such a record as - wduld
prove of great be-3efit_as a reference
work thru the years to come. The
state library will eventually bouse
the 400 volumes tbat tell the storj

card index will make tbe record verj
available tor quick and easy refer
ence.
Tba work bas been done by coun
ties and to date all but seventeen
bave turned to the state file. Thest
will be ready within a few days. The
card indexing is being rushed to completion in order to have tbe record in
the bands of the adjutant genera)
before he begins the process of verifying the bonus applications. The
various county directors bave exhausted every means to obtain tbe
records of their men. Thousands oi

Music by * Special Band En- ' joyed by All ■<* - / 3 Altbo Glare and tbe community always torn out ..well to tbe Decoration Day exercises every year tbe crowd of {Monday was tbe largest ever. Dozens of antos went early to Cherry Grove cemetery to secure favorable parking; places" At one o'clock tbe procession, which had» been well organized under tbe direction of Jamea S. Bicknell,^mar- sball ot the day, left the City park. It was led by the newly organized band directed by Norris Elden. Then came the boys of the American Legion in uniform and marching in military rank. < Following the boys .in khaki came the boyB in blue, fewer in number and riding in automobiles, some of them out upon one of tbe few occasions of the year which draws them from tbe easy chair in the'living room at home. At the j The school grounds the pupils, each carrying-a flag, fell in back of the veterans, fcscores of automobiles brought top the rear of tbe procession. The program was started promptly by Chairman James F. Tat man. The band played a stirring number followed by the singing of America by . the entire crowd led by the band and the pupils of tbe city schools. Rev. Badgley offered prayer. "Ae ritualistic work t*t tbe Soldiers' Monument " waa conducted by Jojtn Hampton, PoBt Commander of tbe Grand Army, Chaplain J. W. Reed assisted by Philo Smith, and the bring squad of j tbe American Legion under tbe command of Post Commander IS. L. Tibbils. "Ready. Aim. Fire." Three times the salute of the firing squad paid tribute to our fallen dead. >■ After another selection by tbe band Chairman Tatman made the opening speech, substantially as follows: - •'Fifty-three years ago the highest representative officials of our nation set aside May 30 as Decoration Day, a day for tbe nation to pay its respects to tbe nation's honored dead. Since tbat time the nation has added new luster to its honor and dignity ' by the Spanish American war and • the great World war tbat ie not closed.* "I believe the veterans of the rebellion of today feel tbat the nation each year has been faithful to its duties to the memory of tbeir fallen comrades, but I wonder if vXe today ,. fully comprehend tbe sadueas and ~~ solemnity of sixty thousand American homes made so by the loss of a precious son once the cherished hope of the family. Besides these we have y thousands xnained for life. Let us not forget the true significance of Decoration day. •*The country is in a great turmoil, dissatisfaction on every hand. Many of our institutions are in danger and it should be our most careful concern by every true American citizen ae to the highest interest of every institution in tbe land. The greatest of these institutions we most depend upon in tbe solving of these perplexing problems is our schools and for this reason we secured one of Michigan's : big educator's to address us. tbis afternoon. Prof-. Webster H. Pierce of the Central State Normal School." Space this week does not permit a complete summary of Mr. Pierce's excellent address,. He began by pointing out America's IttpGfidP position among the nations " *■**- world and of history Tbe fact tbat Clare bas a way of winning most everything^ln sports this year was again borne out by the results at the interscholastic track meet at Gladwin last Friday. Gladwin, wbo evidently expected to take all tbe events, pnt up three band some cups for the tennis matches besides several individual^ medals. Olare and Gladwin were tbe only schools to enter, tbe tennis tournament. In tbe preliminary matches Waller defeated 6-2, Vernest defeat- 8urrounding ed Hyde, 6-4, and 'Monk' Thompson took tbe rubber from Raymond 6-4. Waller took the finals from Vernest, winning two sets, 6 3 and 6-1. Waller's performance^ on the clay court carried out his reputation as the most reliable man with tbe racquet In Clare. Thompson also earned a name for himself when he defeated Gladwin's best man. In suite of tbeir lack of practice tbe Olare track team showed up well in the afternoon events. Canfield took second place in both tbe half mile and running broad jump. - Dun- can^took tbird in the running high jump. Percy Stough won tbird place in the running broad jump while Al Doherty did the same in the standing high jump. Tbe relay team brought up second place in the mile relay, work of tbe fellows at Gladwin gives promise of a crack tennis and track team next year. ■■■■■• Harrison Coleman Weld man Barryton y^:\ Harrison • .- • ■; I Sun.

Let ub teach these facts to our children that tbey in learning and we in recalling may all be better citizens of this the greatest land on the face of the earth. At tbe close of the program James F. Tatman was re-elected chairman of the Decoration Day committee of next year: Wm. Irish, secretary; and Herman Lange, treasurer. MEMORIAL LAST SUNDAY Rev. Geo. P. Badgley Preaches To Large Audience. Special. Music Rendered. of the He then called to onr attention the necessity of obna tinning the observance of Memorial day in order that otiir bhiidren may be constantly urged to better citizenship by betas remihded ot tbe sacrifices of the btr&ve mbn, living* and dead, who bave made our nation wbat it ia—tbe men of '76, of >812, of »61-'66, of '98, and of the Oreat War. r,Wa must honor these men who are ".dead and, just aa much, those who living: each offered the same target to tbe enemy's ballet. We Ifvfng la a time when we,need as \:*f*er perhaps before tbe spirit of Americanism for which &a*e The Methodist Church was crowd ed to capacity at the union memorial services Sunday morning. Rev. Badgley gave a splendid address, his subject being "The Awakening of the Nations". Music of an exceptional quality was rendered by a .ladies1 quartette composed of Mesdamea Wood, Reading, Elden and Johnson and a sextette with Mr. Cndney and Mr. Elden. Rev. Badgley said in substance: From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. He fasbionetb their hearts alike. Ps. 33:13. The Renaissance of Asia and America's Responsibility. It bas long been an accepted idea tbat the four most prominent events in modern history are tbe Invasion of the of tbe Roman Empire by tbe Barbarians, the Crusades, the Renaia- ■mcfl. and the French Revolution. Tbe Continent of Asia, with its pop- ] ulation of 850,000,000 bas been passed in silence. Historians of tbe modern WQirl<3, &fi & rule, paid but little respect to India, Japan, and China. The reader was reminded tbat these nations occupied a place on tbe map, • but we*?<» not considered as participating in the affairs of the great world. It it far different today. Tbe fapidity of the movement in tbe Eastern hemisphere hjis been sueb that only those wbo climb high towers can take In the situation. Asia has joined tbe world. Tbe Western culture bas projected itself eastward, as formerly the Eastern culture projected itself westward. There Is to be one standard, one life for the world. This is a fact ot momentous import. It bears vitally upon tbe problem of tbe permanent Tpeace of the world. "^ Certainly no one will deny that Japan today is an Integral part of Continued oa page *. Michigan's law governing the speed of automobiles bas been amended through the efforts of the Detroit Automobile club, so tbat motorists may use tbe highways witb a reasonable degree of assurance tbat tbey are not going to be yanked into some rural justice court and assessed costs or fines for a technical violation of the law says the Detroit Free Press. The Penney bill, otherwise known as the headlight law, carried the amendment to the speed law. ft was introduced by Senator Harvey Penney, Saginaw, and was passed towards tbe end of the session at Lansing. Like other laws it become effective 90 days from date of passage, wnich will bring tbe law into operation in tbe iatter days of July. It is not to be understood by any- j body that the change in law allows speed crazy motorists to go out and drive at break-neck speed regardless of the rights of others or of eon- sequences. The section defining reckless driving remains in tbe law, which means that a person may be guilty of tbat charge even though tbey are within the speed limit allowed under the statutes. Under the amended law tbe speed in the business districts of cities, towns and villages is increased to 15 miles per hour from 10 miles, in residence sections, to 20 miles - per hour from 15 miles, and on state highways to 35 miles per hour from 25 miles. This gives any motorists sufficient latitude so that there need . be no occasion for violating the law.- Tbe general opinion is that tbe amended law will be almost a death blow for the speed traps and road patrols operated in many sections jointly by constables, deputy sheriffs and justices of the peace. Motorists should remember tbat tbe new law is not operative until tbe latter part of July. According to figures given out by the state highway department recently, the four new . trunk line highway bills that were passed by tbe recent session of the legislature are going to alter materially the department's ipians for the improvement of tbe state's highway system. A total of 515 miles -was added by tbe new laws. When tbe 850,000,000 bond issue was authorized two years ago, tire trunk line mileage of the state was approximately 63,000 miles .of which about 300 miles were .within the corporate-limits of cities and villages. Under the construction plan, perfected by tbe highway department since that time, and now being car. ried out, the S50,000*,000"obtained from the sale of bonds will just about pro' yide for improvements on roads already planned. ;Vy-t/-/> ~ - - x - If the 5i5 miles of new road authorized by the 1921 legislature are also to be constructed under the present plan it will maan the forced abandonment of some of tne projects already under way. The only other alternative will be for tbe 192^ legislature to make provision in some manner to grant the highway department^ approximately $6,000,000 more to pay for the construction of the 515 miles of new roads. HOME COMING MONDAY, JULY 11 Glare To Again Do Herself Proud. Entertainment \ And Sports Already Being Planned. A crowd of more tban four hundred fans witnessed the opening game of j the Five County League series at tbe City Field Decoration Day. Any who came after tbe first inning saw an airtight ball game, for Clare ecored the only runs of tbe game in Ihelr half of the first frame. ''Eddie"t Hubel drove one for a bit fire*t time up and was advanced to third by Q. Gorr's smashing two-bagger. Harrold chased botb bis predecessors in by a clean hit to left field and rested on second. Haley sacrificed Harrold to third and the latter came in on two overthrows. Tbe rest of the game was largely a pitching duel in which Terwilliger easily bad an edge on his opponent; altho Barryton after the first inning played a brand of ball tbat no team need feel ashamed of this early in tbe season. Everyone of the Clare boys are to be congratulated upon tbeir performance. - The fielding was fast and the errors few for early season work. "'•"-.' /" " r .. : Barryton failed to carry thru ber few opportunities to scorg^ In the second inning Wood and Wolverton died on third and second when Nelson struck out; Doll Hubel fielded the effort of Bannister. Again in tbe eighth tbey had a good chance at tbe score board after two were down. Bannister had a track ont and Jerae was out on a grounder to second. Carmikle made a good single to extreme left, and stole second and was advanced^a. tbird by Gilbert's safe tap. But wl^b second and tbird full Van Sickle was'retired on a grounder to first. The most sensational battery work of^the day was in tbe first of tbe ninth. The baW grazed Carmikle'e side.' He grabbed bis arm, which was more convenient, and went to nrjBt. An error left Wood safe on first with Carmikle standing on tbe next sack. Wolyerton sacrificed, filling second and tbird. Then Gorr told Terwilliger to strike ont tbe next twe up, which be obligingly did^and the game was over. The best chance the-local boys bad to increase tbe chalk marks came in the sixth, but didn't materialize until after two were down. Harrold was handed a pass and went clear to third when Haley submitted one to second wbicb was. tob warm to handle with comfort. But the visiting battery opened up a special box and gave Wood the three wierd ones. The* umpire was good. He made Close decisions but held tbe respect of both sides and the crowd, which is quite an achievement. Altogether, the managers, players and fans are all to be congratulated on the prospects evidenced by the opening game. Let's keep up the good work. Class One of the features of tbe parade on Decoration Day more distinguished than any previous year, was tbe fact tbat four generations of tbe Stevens family were represebted as color bearers. •> Henry C Stevens, who baa been color bearer for the G. A R. Hancock Post for nearly a baif century, owing to his recent illness, was unable to leave tbe auto and was represented by his daughter, Mrs. Ethel. 8tevens- Wbiteley, of- Dowagiac, wbo is a member of the Daughters of tbe American Revolution, Ralph A. Stevens, a grandson, who served in tbe Navy of tbe World War was color bearer of tbe Larmon Post of tbe American Legion, Elizabeth Stevens, I a grand daughter, led the school children as color bearer, while just proceeding tbe school children was little 4 year old Arthur John Stevens, a great grand son, who carried tbe American flag, dressed in full navy custom. — ■ • . . Tbe Stevens family bave been rep resented in the past three great wara, tbe Revolution; Civil and the World War and are American's every-one.
