'that the Midland lawyer more.nearly!-p,eBley  mau-.ted Jnt{ .-Pttwe  toe fol-j        Clare.    Mr, Citizen, is this right?
'   '   '    Kings fight kings for thrones, but
poor men's sons lay down their lives
that their country and fellow citizens
may live and prosper — and wait in
vain for a memorial to their sacrifice.
For the past two years ex-soldiers
of  th-s community  have  waited for
acme civic organization to start a plan
Ear  the  erection   of  a  memorial   to
'hose who made the supreme sacrifice
,n the Lite World War, that men who
come and men who go may realize

"If you break faith with us who die,
We will not sleep, tho poppies grow."

THE   GUEST
No more gracious testimonial was
ever tendered a citizen of a Michigan
city than that given in honor of Mayor
Alfred J, Doherty by the Chamber of
Commerce at the Duncan hall on
Wednesday evening. One hundred
and fifty members of tho organization, supplemented by the presence nt
several well known citizens of neighboring cities participated in a program that was pronounced the best
given in Clare during its history.
While the primary purpose of the occasion was to express appreciation ol
the Mayor's loyalty in making goad
upon his pledge to erect a modern
and much needed hotel, there were
plenty of evidences that those present looked farther into his loyalty a.<
exemplified in the years of his close
identification with tho • material progress of the city and county.
Whatever  of personal   animosities
that   may   have   existed
merged   by   the   higher   and
worthy propriety of display!

You have noticed during panics or
periods of great financial stringency
that about the only persons in the
community who' were not complaining
of hard times were the chattel mortgage sharks. They thrive by other
people's miseries. Money is not borrowed during such periods but for
actual necessities. This upsets the
market, so far as the possibilities of
profit are concerned.

You say, "'If the World is 'out of
money to buy our products why can
we not exchange with them and thus
make it possible for us to keep 'at
work?" Well, that borders desperately near a political question. One set
of our citizens believe that we should
not permit foreign manufactures or
products to come into this country.
Another set believes we MUST buy
of foreign countries if we expect to
SELL to them.
But just now the World has but little to sell. The money of practically
all of the war-torn countries is greatly
depreciated; we have most of the
gold in the World; their agriculture
has not been restored and their industries find it difficult to resume
without raw materials and they have
no money with which to buy.

UBSCBSTION PRICE REDUCED!
In Harmony With the General Trend Toward Pre-War
Prices, The Courier Reduces Its Annual Subscription Rate to $1.00 Per Year.
During the past year the farmer has been compelled to take a
heavy loss because of the slump in the prices of his proouc-ts, J.as
merchant, loaded with high-priced goods, has likewise been.Jtorced
to unload at a heavy sacrifice. Every line Of business lias suffered

CLARE DEFEATED IN B. B.
GAME BY GLADWIN
In fact their credit is at so low an
ebb by .-eason of the enormous debts
hanging over them that Americans
hesitate to extend credit to those Nations. That likewise militates against
a prompt resumption of business in
our country.

' All said and donej it m,ust be plainly seen that when the World is hard
up Uncle Sam cannot go the business
pace he so greatly enjoys. Until we

Last Friday night a basket ball
team composed of Clare high Schopl
fellows went to Gladwin and were defeated by the Gladwin high' school
team by a score of 18 to 10.
The first quarter ended with the
score 8 to 1 in favoi' of Gladwin and
it looked like, a walkaway for the
home team. The half finished With
Gladwin Still far 'ahead. *
But with tho beginning of the third
.quarter, Hubel and Duncan changed
places) Hubel going to center and Duncan to guard and which evened up
the game, Clare came, from behind
and ran their total up to ten, outplaying Gladwin the last half, 6 to 4.
When, one remembers that jtlie Clare
team has had no practice and ho hall
of their own, it is not such a bad
showing. They will prbbably play
other gaioies from time to time.
