A fellow representing a Saginaw
shoe house was here trying to sell goods
in that line this week. He retailed
the shoes (or.it would be better to say

especially when our merchants earry
the best goods that can be bought-

The reception given by the Clare
high school a lumni at Doherty opera
house last Friday" evening to the
citizens of Glare, was very much enjoyed by alii who were present. The
seats in the; parquette had been removed and the waxed floor looked
beautiful in the glare of the electric
lights. The gorgeous display of flowers of all kinds, the mats upon the
floors and the beautiful music that
was rendered,, reminded one of an
oriental scene. The stage was a beautiful sight, being profusely decorated
with flowers and the mottoes .of past
graduate classes were hung in appropriate places. After the reception
the alumni, faculty and teachers .and
guests repaired' to "The Calkins"
where the banquet was held. Hearly
50 persons were present, and it is
needless to say that all did ample
justice, to the fine courses which were
served. Mr. E. G. -Welch was the
toastmaster for the evening and he
performed that function in a most
creditable and facetious manner.
Miss Dora Loomis read the alumni
history and from it we learned that 24
have*graduatedfrom the Clare schools,
—two into that higher and better
life. One, A. E. Maynard, is now behind the bars, (in the post office, of
course) but the historian says his time
will soon be out. And so the hours
passed, alas, too swiftly,, with happy
and witty toasts from alumni and
others, and when the time came to
leave for home in the wee sma' hours,
those who were not members of the
alumni wished they had that honor,
and those who were members had a
justifiable pride in the fact that they
were.

Mrs. Bedson, the dressmaker, was on
business to Detroit last week.
Halev, the stock buyer, shipped a
car load of stock from here, Wednesday, to Buffalo.
Mrs. W, J. Hutchison has gone to-
Lake Odessa to spend the summer
there and at other points in the south
part of the state.
Wm. Dywer and son Willie, went
to Bay City, yesterday, to attend the
races. Dan Dwyer formerly of Glare,
is there with some California horses.
Prof. W.J. Hutchison and Master
Ered Harris, contemplate taking a
trip soon on their wheels. They will
go as far as ^Niagara Falls and perhaps further.,
Railway baggagemen say that more
sample trunks are put on and off at
Clare, than at any other point on the
line between Saginaw and Ludington.
This is a pretty good indication of
what kind of a town Clare is for business.
By an amendment passed by the
legislature recently adjourned, county
clerks are forbidden to issue marriage
licenses where the prospective bride is
under eighteen years, without the
written consent of one of the parents
or the guardian. In ease there be no
parents or guardian, however, the license may issue. This is the only change
in the marriage law, though an effort
was made to raise the minimum marriageable age of brides to. eighteen
and grooms to twenty-one years, as is
the law in Minnesota and some other
states. The Michigan minimum is
sixteen and twenty-one years. j
Schoolma'ms have gone. Prof!
Hutchison has given good satisfaction
and will remain another year. Part
othis vacation will be spent on a
wheeling trip down through York
State. Miss Smith, the preceptress,
will enjoy the vacation at her home,
Grass-Lake. She has been an excellent teacher. Miss Loomis of the
grammar department is at- her home
in Vernon. Her success in that department, which contains "Young
America" at his smart age, has been
great. Miss Mason of the 1st • intermediate has gone to her home in the
south part of the state for the summer,
but will return next year. She has
made a good teacher. Miss Tower of
the 2nd intermediate lives at Ooleman
where she will spend the summer and
will return again next year. She, too,
has given excellent satisfaction.
Everyone'knows Mrs. Eaton's worth as
a teacher and her pupils of the 1st
primary were sorry when the last day
of school came. Miss Louise Bruske,
who is now a teacher in the school
where she was once a student, has been
quite successful and will train the
"young idea" here next year. She
will spend part of her vacation in
Saginaw. And now the lowest room—
the kindergarten— Miss Malcom,
teacher, where you find the little tots
fresh from the home nest. Miss Malcom has had splendid success with the
little ones, but will probably, accept a
position in the Saginaw kindergarten
next year; .-  ,

Clare-cyclists are learning to like the

Properandpractical is the'suggestion-that has been made that a" mer^._
cantile "American week" be. inaugurated aud observed' in all   sections  of
our country:   The-'observance  of /it ,
would consist of liayin^ all the stores'
make special displays. x)f   goods   of
American manufacture and no other.
Make the week an. occasion  during
which general attention should be.eal -
led to points of superiority, attractiveness; and wide range of American .production.   The,'word "imported''  has
been used in the United States for a/
hundred years as.an extra inducement
to customers and to secure an extra.,
price." In England and Germany and (
France tne fact that an article is imported causes its value and quality to
be questioped. It is not necessary that
prejudice should be utilised in "order (
to create favor \for ^American  made !
goods. ■ They will win fayor for them- .
selvesiif.thepreiu.aice in favor of "im- ,
ported'.' goods- can -be put aside.   A
strong fact in dissipating such  prejudice would be tlie proposed. "American week."     .    ' *   .
