One of the best proofs that Clare is
a live  town  is   the  number   of  new
- homes now  being   built.    While any
number of  empty   houses   are   being
reported in some of  our  large  cities
tbe   home    seeker   in     Ciare    while
keeping* one eye   open   for   a   vacant
"  bouse is using the other optical member to scan the folder   describing   the
. comforts of tbe Auto-Trailer tent.
This local  house   shortage   will   be
somewhat relieved as several   of   the
new homes become reauy for occupancy.
Dr. McKaight has already moved
iuto hia charming bungalow on East
Seventh street.
James   S.    Bicknell   is   completing
two bungalows this week,   a  third   is
well   under  way  and   a    fourth   one
Started.    The one no v being  finished
~.jr on East Fifth has been purchased   by
Orln      Presley.       Tbe    Sixth    8treet
y bungalow will be ready for occupancy
next week.
' Tbe new residence of J   A. Alien at
' 116 E. Fifth Street will be one   of  the
fine homes of tbe city.
It would seem that 13. K. Mater bee
selected an ideal location in the grove
near the Little Tobacco on East Sixth
street for hie new residence. This is
to be a stucco finish, semi-bun jjalow
type, and will be another of the cifres
^abeeti residences.
" |<5lyde Harris assures our city re-
-j porter tbat his new residence on West
State street is going to be "just an
ordinary bouse'\ semi-bungalow in
type, of tile construction. It will be a
very nice bome. _
Wm. H- U. Caple has commenced
tbe first of a series of new residences
to be erected on the old ball ground,
Wheaton Ave., which be will rush to
completion.
Another   good    residence    in    this
"vicinity is that of H. B.lHalstead   on
Beech street.    Tbis  stucco  bungalow
is pearly completed.
W. H. Caple bas a completed house
on Wheaton Avenue.
Tbe fine residence of Dr. Clute on
tbe corner of Beech and Sixth is progressing in good shape, under the
able workmanship of Walter Pettit. --.
John Poes is building a brick house
just west of the City Park on Fourth
street. The park is one of tbe show
spotB of tbe city and the addition of
good residences io its vicinity is to be
welcomed. -
Ou tbe Farwell road west of town
several new booses are being built,
among tbem those ot C. Wardell and
Roy Batch. •.
Quite a number of bouses are being
remodelled.
John Phinisaey, of west 6th street,
bas made tbe addition of a fine new
stone porch to bis residence and is
now removing the siding. "In its
place will be & coat of stucco. Tbis,
besides other improvements, will
make a fine residence property.
The Scbultz residence bas been
raised to* two stories and other improvements are being completed.
S. M7 Callihan has moved the east
wing from bis residence and is moving
the upright over to the center of tbe
lot. Considerable further improvement is planned.
It would be difficult to list all tbe
bomea wbicb bave been "fixed up"
this summer. A large number of
residences have been painted, many
- bave had new roofs put on. So feral
interiors bave been remodelled.
These things all help the town. Tbe
value ot ' all property is increased
.-. thereby. "'• Let Glare be noted as not
only one of the most progressive
business cities of its size in the state
bnt also as a city of .well-appearing,
comfortable homes.

DEPOT[
m
Tbe state treasurer expects to receive by tbe latter part of tbis week
the $15,000,000 in payment for the
soldiers bonus bonds recently Bold to
a syndicate composed of Detroit and
New Tork banking bouses. In addition to tbe face of the bonds the
state will receive a premium on tbem
of 969,000. Tbis total sum will be
in addition to tbe S5,000,000 which
has already been received for short
time notes and whicb is now being
paid out to tbe ex service men.
While the bonds will not be printed,
signed and ready for delivery to tbe
syndicate purcbaserlluntil probably
the latter part of August, intermin
certificates of sucb purchase are now
being printed in Detroit and their delivery is promised to tbe state treasurer in due time. These certificates
will take the place of tbe bonds temporarily, to be surrendered back to
tbe state on delivery of tbe bonds.
There will be 4,154 of these certificates, ranging in denominations
from $1,000 to $500,000 eacb, covering trie entire $15,000,000. "^hey will
be signed by tbe state treasurer and
secretary of state, and be ready for
delivery to the syndicate tbe last of
next week. . On tbeir delivery ibe
state will receive the purchase price
of the bonds to be delivered later.
There will be 15,000 bonds of $1,000
eacb, witb intereetcoupons attached.
They will probably be signed in New
York with the use of tbe "stenograph" machine by which 20 original
signatures are signed at the same
time by tbe official.
Some of the warrants mailed out
to ex-service men this week in payment of their bonuses bave been returned to the auditor general. In
each instance this was due to a change
in address, the postalA- authorities
being able to deliver the letters. If
ex-service men want tbeir state
checks promptly it is obviously necessary tbat they notify the auditor
general of cuaugeB ia tbeir addresses. Some of these payments may
be long delayed, and wben returned
to the auditor general can never be
paid until tbat official is informed of
the new address. It is not sufficient
to leave change in address with tbe
post office at the old address. The
only sore way for snch men to get
their payments ia to keep the auditor
general informed of anv changes as
soon as tbey are made.
Letters are also coming in requesting tbat bonus claims be paid at
once. There are now about 75,000
applications on file witb the adjutant
general, of whicb about 25,000 have
been approved and certified to tbe
auditor general for payment. Of
tboae already certified about 16,000
have been indexed, while tbe remainder are yet in one great mixed
lot It is absolutely impossible to
run down particular applications in
sucb a mass of papers. Payment to
the men will be made exactly In the
order In which ' applications are approved and indexed in tbe auditor
general's department. Payments are
now being mailed out at tbe rate of
1000 a day, and tbat speed will be
maintained until tbie work is eleared
away.
TATE street and Main street aren't much alike:
' State street's a promenade, Main street a pike.
State street has buildings that are gray and tall;
Main street has little ones, nothing big at all.
State street has pavements; glittering of glass,
Main street geraniums, nodding as you pass.
Main street and State street, homespun and style.
State street's a spectacle, Main street a smile!
Broadway and highway aren't much alike: •
Broadway's a boulevard, highway a hike.
Broadway is roaring all the summer long;
Highway has nothing but a robin's song.
Broadway has shadows that are dark and chill;
Highway has shade trees, maples on the hilL
Broadway and highway, roadway and street—
Hot stones to walk on, or grasses for your feet-
New friends and.old friends aren't much alike:
"Mister" and "madam," "Mary Ann" and "Ike."
Old friends and new friends ev'rywhere you roam—
New friends to wander with, old friends at home.
New friends to join you in a song of cheer;
Old friends to love you when the night is here.
New friends to borrow, and old friends to lend—
Old friends tbe best friendB when you need a friend!
