SAD TRAGEDY
By

The weather was indeal for Dec
Ion Day and a big crowd assem-
5* Wed at Oberry Grove to enjov the ei-
arsis. Tha cemetery never looked
finer. Tbe sextons, Mr. Mailer and
Mr. Kane, are doing tbeir work well
and most of tbe lot owners had put
their lot in stood shape.
Ttie procession formed at the park
aad, led by the Dover Band, proceeded to tbe cemetery in tbe order given
l-%8t week. Arriving at the cemetery
tba program as planned was carried
«at in the main. Rev. Bennett was
called away to officiate at a funeral
Ra.v navis offered prayer. Prof,
.ton could not be secured as ex-
led and the committee was ex-
-edingly fortunate in being able at
last moment to pecure D. E Alward While Mr. Alward declared
that tbe loss of the audience was his
gain, we feel sure all felt the loss
tfcey bad sustained was not serious.
J. B. Bowler presided and introduced the various numbers. After
two selections by tbe schools, and a
<jaartet. Mr. Alward wsa introduced
and expressed bis pleasure' at meet-
lBg Clare friends. The Grand Army
mem observed the injunction laid up-
o_ it by its old Commander. Jobn A

fr-ust of seeing to it that this day is
mmeetved Tbese Veterans tore down
tbe Confederate flag end made true
wort^a" of Lincoln that a government .of the people, by the people
aad for the people shoulu not perish
from tbe earth. But tbe sacrifice
waa great. 11,000 went down to
deatb at Cbatanooga and 14,000 at
•Jettysbu rg*. Michigan sent 91,<X>0 to
aid tbe cause and one sixth of them
perished. Tbe present generation
know nothing cf tbe story of tbis
war mm\m from boots.
Tbe _*y now bas ao added
aij.o-_ca.nee because o f the great
World War. Tbe whole world baa
trembled witb the shock of tbis
__.i_.i_ty contest. .We met tbe test and
■proved tbat we were true to Dem-
eerecy. The boys save up positions
and renounced cherished plans to go,
aad many of tbem never came back.
•0,000 of them made tbe supreme
sacrifice. We bow in reverence wben
we recognize wbat tbey sacrificed.
Wa were slow at tbe start to realize
that tbis was our war. Ooee we
la*m,tut to free a race, nuw to free tbe
world.
One year ago we were scanning tbe
Map of Europe and seeing how tbe
le line was being pressed back to-
Paris. We must not assume too
lob for ourselves. We needs must
lift onr bats to our allies, but they
ware well nigh exhausted. Wben tbe
American troops were bard pressed
■a tbe outset and tbe order came to
fall back, Ger. Rundy protested that
els troops would not understand a
retreat. We will counter attack, ne
aaid, 24,000,000 men were registered
and classed, 2.coo,coo went overseas
aad over 2,000,000 more were in camp
fa thia country. America became one
raat work shop The war bas cost at
least $25,000,000,000. a sum inconceivable to the human mind.
P Otber problems are presenting
themselves for solution Bolshevism
and I. W. W. ism are more or less
rampant in this country and must be

ba net as it arises and soived in tbe

A   Fall.
One of tbe saddest deaths we have
been called npon to chronicle ia tbat
of tbia estimable young lady wbich
took place on Snnday. It is one of
the ironies ot fate that ber deatb
came a result of Injuries received
while preparing fur the closing
exercises ot her school in conjunction witb . several otbers. Four
schools were to baye tbeir Eighth
Grade exercises at the Dover cburch
on Tuesday evening of tbis week. On
Satnrday sbe was helping to move
her piano to tbe Cburch. Anen nexr
tbere in some way tbe piano fell off,
throwing ber against tbe wheel of tbe
truck, fracturing ber skull. She was
taken to the home of Armstrong
Aller near by and everything possible
clone, but death came at 8 p. m.
jSunday.
Frieda Helen Krell was born July

ber life bad been spent there. Sbe
graduated from tbe Clare High
School in 1915 and bas taught 'mucb
of tbe time since, having just closed
her years work at tbe 'Randall".
She was a member of the Lutheran
church of tbis city.
The funeral, in charge of Rev.
Hoenecke, wss held in the orchard

The work of the city schools is
drawing toward tbe end and teachers
and pupils wiil be unusually busy till .
the close. Tbe yemr bas been a
strenuous one in many respects
Twice tbe schools were closed on account of tbe prevalence ot influenza,
and mucb trouble bas been experienced to secure teachers. However, we shall probably be safe In
quoting tbe old saw that "It might have j
been worse", and that tbe class of
thirteen which graduates tbis year
will compare favorably witb tbose pre
ceding it, notwithstanding tbat tbeir
number represents tbe proverbial od-
iuckytbirieeii.
We suppose soch a tbing as a
majority of boys in a class is not to
be expected. Laet year tbree of the
twelve were boys, while in 1917 there
was one lone boy in tbe class of ten.
This year again one boy must represent his sex. Tbe following make up
tbe class, the valedictorian and
salutatorian leading: Blanche A.
Roe, Mariorie Jacsson, Lolo Broderick, Kaitb Barber. Leo Campeau,
Bessie Johnson, Edith Jordan,
Vivian Sowle, Bernice Stevens,
Gwtnath Gro.-es, Marjorle Lansing,
Katberine Zinaer, Lena Louch.

More than half a million bushes of
baroerry enough to aocouot for widespread rusting of wheat and other
grains, have been destroyed in Miebi-
gan since the campaign to eradicate
tbe disease bearing bnab was started
a year ago. In one county school
children wbo cooperated In tbe work
found more tban 100 locations of tbe
bnsh, with indications that tbere was
a mucb wider distribution.
The campaign is being poshed this
year declares G. H. Cooes, State
Leader ot Barberry Eradication, in
order tbat the good work done last
year may be finished up by a complete eradication of the bash. Tbe
beneticiai results of tbe work are already apparent, and eyery effort le
being made to clean np the campaign
this summer. Prompt and complete
eradication is necessary if wbeat rust
is to be controlled, according to Professor Goods,
Tbe case against tbe barberry was
definitely proved last winter by germination tests conducted in eigbt counties. Wheat rust can live over the
winter ia either tbe black rust or tbe
red rust stage. Tbe black rust carries
! tbe germ over only when tbe barberry comes In as intermediary, and
tbe tests conducted last winter afebve
tbat tbe red rust does not live over
tbe winter in Michigan's climate.
Spread of tbe wbeat is therefore laid
definitely to the barberry, as it is
necessary to carry over the only rust
wbich survives the winter in Michigan.

fhe members of tbe Clare Stady
Club were guests of tbe city teachers
at tbe parlors of tbe Metbodiet
chnrcb on Wednesday afternoon of
last week and, if we may judge from
wbat we bear, tbey were well pleased
witb tbeir entertainment. Tbe rooms
were tastefully decorated with
flowers and potted plants acd Old
Glory was mucb in evidence.
Mrs Stella Lampman welcomed
the guests, expressing the appreciation of tbe scbool for what the Clnb
bad done in helping tbe scbool library.
Sbe then introduced Miss Amy Burt,
teacher of history in tbe Central Normal, wbo gave a very Interesting
talk. Sbe admonished tbe women
not to cease work because the war is
over. Many fields for their activities
present themselves. The question
of civic improvment is always a live
one and probably Clare is no exception to otber towns along this line.
If one notices bow prone young
poeple are to be banging around depots and similar places, sbe can
readily see tbere is a fertile held
for work among the young. Tbe
young need social life and parents
sbouid seek to share tbis with tbem.
In all ber talk Miss Burt wove in
many legends to illustrate and emphasize her points.
Miss Conrad introduced Mrs. Larza-
lere wbo spoke more briefly,
emphasizing particularly tbe importance of tbe Clnb joining the State
Federation and urged such action.
Miss Gilligan, Critic Teacher at tbe
Central Normal was also present as a
gaest.
At tbe close of tbe program refreshments were served by tbe High
-.cbool girls, Mr6. Leon Gleason
catering. The Victrola furnished
music dnring tbe lunch.
Before a  holiday crowd  of  a
hundred people, the  Clare  base
team defeated tbe Farwell   nine
Friday afternoon by a score of ten to
two.
Tbe game lacked tbe excitement
wbicb attended tbe contest of two
weeks previous when it reaiuired
twelve innings to convince tbe bo>e
irom oor sister city tbat tbey were
hardly cur equals at the popular
American sport. Tbe pitching department was the only place wbere
they seemed to be at all formidable
on tbis occasion, Udin again doing
good work. But even be seemed to |
lose interest in the game after Ciare
ran in five scores in tbe third inning
(or four as the scorer put it down.)
Tbe bome contenders hit the bali
consistently, "Benuy" Demarest man
aging to bobble around to second on
a nice hit to left field and Wilson
twice reaching tbe same sack. All
the rest did some clouting.
As for Farwell's best, it is none too
good with tbe stick on a bot day.
and they will perhaps consult the
weatherman before signing up for
the next game. Terwilliger, when
tbe necessity arose, was able to put
enough steam on the ball to puzzle
tbe best of tbem. aud the bits were
few and scratchy. a
Dale Peterson umpired the bases
while Jobn Henry gave bis town
team what assistance he coald in the
way* of decisions, without being
mobbed.

ladies registered 'Cu'_ in efficiency

On Taesday evening abont 25 citizens gatbsred at tbe Congregational
cburch to consider tbe question of
tendering tbe soldier boys a reception
in the near future. C. A. Reading
was made chairman of the meeting
and Geo. Jobnson seajretary.
After considerable discussion it was
decided to bold such reception on
July 16 and to make it a hnmmer.

James Scbermerborn, the Demo
cratic editor of tbe Detroit Times
and an ardent supporter of President
Wilson, cannot endure Wilson's
latest bid for tbe booze vote. In a
recent issue of the Times hs says;
"As fast as delegates can get tbe

the national body of this denomination deplores and condemns the
effort of Elder Wilson to undo all the
righteous sentiment of tne nation

"Elder Bryan supplements the indignant disapproval of the president's
course by tbe Presbyterian general
assembly with the prediction that
| the president's re-opening of the rum
enope would mean a six months'
spree for a nation now pledged to
sobriety.
If political expediency be back of
the Wilson concession to tbe wets,
what a dubious dicker it is:
"He delights tbe adulatory New

Washington. May *'.. — Miobigao
congressmen are not much irr.pr.saei>
with the possibility of defeaticg tiie
prohibition amendment to tbe federal constitution by the referdom method, whicb. newspaper dispatches say,
will be invoked in tbe state. Tbe
members of the delegation who are
lawy-srs bv proffeseioa are especially
skeptical of tbe chances for success
of such a proceeding.
Congressman Gilbert A. Carrie
wbo is on the bouse judiciary committee, says tbat io his judgment tbe
referdum bas no bearing on a federal
amendment.
"No state provision applies in a
case like this,'' be said today. "Tha
feueral constitution overrides state
constitutions and state laws: it is tbe
supreme, fundamental law of tbe
land. It leaves tbe ratification of
amendments to the legislatures and
Dot to the people, aod_l do not tbink
the supreme court would uphold the
contention that the legislature's ratification is subject to referendum."
Congressman Louis C. Onrnton.
wbo wae one of the authors of tbo
Warner-Cramton liqa r law, takes m
simiiiar view.
**Tbe Micbigan referendum provision in the state constitution refera
only to acts passed the legislature,""
he said "Toe ratification Of the pra_a-
ii'bition amendment was not an act
of the legislature, for if it were, tbe
govenor would have had to sign it.
Ratification of federal amendments
is a particular function conferred on
legislatures by the national constitution. It could bave been conferred!
on the govenors of the states or left
to a vote of tbe people, if tbe framers
bad so desired, but tbey directed
tbat it sbouid be performed by either
tbe legislatures or by conventions.
"Congress in tbis case said tbe
ratification should be done by cbo
legislatures, and thus disposed of tbe
question. The only argument mate
in behalf of tbe referendum in sack
cases is that tbe referendum made
tbe people a part of tbe legislature,
bat to my mind it is manifest tbat
tbey may be co-ordinate with tbe>
legislature so far as «tate subjects ara
concerned, they baye no part in "de-
amendment of federal constitution

I don't believe tbat the argument baa.

bad the vote of last fail, witb 206,000
majority for prohibition, shows tbat

congress. I think the move is pure.
