FOURTH LYCEUM
NUMBER APRIL 27
*     ■
Dr, Wirt Lowther Will Give Address Next Thursday Evening. =
Schubert Ladies Quartette Are Coming Back Early in May.
To say that the laqt two numbers
of the Lyceum Course will be the best
two on tho course sounds a good deal-
like .the language of the oil stock pros
pectus. In this case, however, it is
neither all advertising nor optimism.
It is, probably true that Dr. Lowtlief's
lecture and the concert to be givbn
by the ladles quartette are not only
tho two host numbers on Our local
course, but are two as good numbers
as any of the larger cities are en-
Joying—at" admission prices twice as
high as are being charged here. As
an entertainment number the Schubert Ladies Quartette has been prominent as one .of the best companies
touring the state this year. And Dr.
Wirt .Lowther is one of the best lecturers that could be secured on any
lyceum platform,
None who can possibly be present
(should fail to hear Dr. Lowther next
Thursday evening,. He brings one of-
the strong messages of the day. Of
the scores of testimonials available
probably none offers stronger evidence upholding Dr. Lowther's merit
than the following letter from Horace
Ellis, Ph. D., Pres. University Vin-
cennes" (Ind.) and President of the
Chautauqua there, Where Dr. Lowther has delivered twenty lectures:
"Wirt Lowther is the peer of the
best man on tbe Chautauqua platform.
•In many ways he is the most valuable
attraction presented to the people at
their Chautauquas. Keep him a
week; he gets better every day. Recall plm from year to year;,- he will
grow In popularity. He has delivered
twenty lectures at this Chautauqua.
I like his message, I admire his style,
I love the man."  ■_•       •' ,
This is the'\ype of man we are glad
59,.*.'.n*i£-ortune ''to
those who do not attend. He is "the
man who touches life with upward
impulse."
There will be special musical numbers by both the high school boys and
girls glee clubs preceeding the lecture. The program will start promptly at eight o'clock. Methodist eh'urch.
Single admission charges fifty and
twenty-five cents.
ESSAY CONTEST HAS
BEEN POSTPONED
Will be Held  Thursday  Afternoon-
April 27th.
H has been fo-iu-l -necessa**y to postpone the high school Citizenship -Essay Contest which was to have been
given this afternoon. It'will be next.
Thursday afternoon, .April 27, at 1?30
oVlock at the Methodist church. This
is the date that Dr, Lowther is here
in the evening, "but as there Is no. admission charged for the contest- it is
believed the two'events will nqt interfere with each other.
The medals which are being offered
by the K. of P. lodge as prizes to the
two winning contestants will be dis
played during .the ensuing weejc, at
Anderson's drug store. A representative of the lodge will present the
medals to the winners at the close of

LEOTA BRANCH
IS ABANDONED
Public   Utilities    Commission
Permits R. R. to Discontinue
Service on Upper Section
of Harrison Line.
On Saturday last the Public Utilities Commission granted the petition
of the Free Marquette Railroad to
abandon the Leota division, of the Harrison branch and take up1 it's tracks.
The company set up the claim
that the, Leota spur had not for "some
time paid operating expenses. For
a number of years no track work
thereon has been performed and service over the; line has become hazardous. The effort to Induce the state
authorities to permit the abandonment   has covered a long period.   It
was contested by the people of Har-
ously   announced,, Mr,   Tatman,' Mr.  rison and property owners along the
Kirkbride and Mb.- Bowler,
During the past week try-outs have
been held with the result that the following people will take, part in the
contest Thursday: Albert Birds-ill, Hen
ry Canfield, Reard'en Caple, Doris Davis, Kathleen Durnin, Alice Hochstet-

MAYOR ANNOUNCES
SPRING CLEAN-UP
With the approach of spring it is
hoped that you will make a special
effort for a spring clean-up in the City.
The piles of rubbish, tin cans and trash
which have accumulated during the
winter should be gathered up and
moved away, and every effort made
to lower the death rate in our community by removing breeding places
of disease germs. Cellars, attics and
back   yards   of   private   houses   and
East Lansing, April 14,—Pre-phik
spray of apples to control Apple Scab
as well as the standard pink spray is
advised this year by plant pathologists of the Michigan Agricultural College.
"The cab fungus is developing early
this year," they declare. "There' Is
every promise of spore discharge a?
soon as the buds push out a. little
mcrev Nearly mature spores have been
found in^rnate-riill frpaftjrandJRapids
cation vof producing infections very
early this year," says Professor C. W.
Bennett. "Ordinarily fruit growers depend upon a spray when the buds are
in the 'pink' Stage, but this year, judging from tlie advanced development of
the apple scab fungus, a 'pre-pink'
spray will also be necessary to secure
the best scab control."
If the early infections are not prevented serious spotting of the calyx
of the fruit results. These early Infections also give rise to severe later
infections. The advice to give the pre-
pink spray as well as the pink spray
seems well warranted by the microscopic findings of this spring.
line, but the company flnaly won.
The ruling was the first upon that
subject since the U. S. Supreme court
rendered a decision declaring It within the power of State commissions
to authorize such abandonments, and
it is expected the Pere Marquette will
soon file applications to permit a discontinuance of service upon other of
its branches which were almost wholly built to meet demands for moving
timber products.
When the Laota branch was constructed the R. R. company built a
combination bridge and dam across
the Muskegon river, and it was the
belief that there was an intention to
continue the line to connect with another logging branch at Kalkaska.
That dream fades.

and Augusta, Michigan orchards.- Lansing material is as yet considerably behind in its development as compared
to the western localities."
Efficient control of apple scab, the
pathologists explain, depends upon
timeliness of application of protective
sprays ,to   prevent   early   infections.
This is especially true with such yar-
_tores,'as well as "the "alleys, should jietie*- as Duchess and Mcintosh,

mands this, as well as good health,
and the fact is that it is good business. A clean town is a progressive
town, and a progressive town invites
business.
I call' (the suggestion of the City-
Council) on the Chamber of Commerce
Women' Clubs, the boys and girls of
our schools and all other organizations to arouse public sentiment, and
get vigorous action. The Council will
again this year gather all rubbish piled on side of streets (except ashes)
where a team can get same with little
difficulty.
Cans and glassware must be kept
separate and placed in boxes or barrels.

unfolding leaves and developing blossoms. Leaves carrying fungus have
been obtaained from various fruitgrowing centers, and on examination
it is found that the apple scab fungus

TEACHERS' EXAMINATIONS
Lansing April 17—It is an accepted
fact that about ten per cent of the
children of Michigan schools, as in
the schools of other states,, are "repeaters," that is, children who take
more than .one year, to make a grader
_JtoU«sii^*_***8Srtr****
of 20,000, has approximately 2,000 repeaters. It is known that thevmost im-.
portant reasons for this repeating are
teeth, tonsils, and adenoids, with tu-
beculosis and other defects as other
causes. By medjeal Inspection in the
schools and by-the employment of a
county public health nurse the number of "repeaters" can be cut down
considerably in aRy county, That this
can he done is known because it lias
been done in some Counties, says the
Michigan Tuberculosis Association.
It costs at least fifty dollars a year
for each child in school*Any county
that by talcing tho necessary steps
for medical inspection and nursing
service cuts down the number of "repeaters" by one-fourth, or 500 in county of 20,00 pupils, there by saves the
neat sum of 525,000, which is vastly
more than the cost' of their service.
"A county public health nurse that cuts
down the "repeaters" by go small a
number as fifty, thereby more than
saves the county her salary,'        '
A movement is in progress in Michigan to haye a public health nurse
supported by the funds of the county
appointed in thirty additional counties in Michigan. Th.re are at present
twelve county health nurses support-
ted by public taxes, and the. thirty
proposed additional nurs.es, will help
materially to improve health (conditions in Michigan, Appointing a public health nurse in a county is not a
matter of philanthropy according to
the Michigan Tuberculosis Association, but a matter gf hard-headed
business sense.

It was recently decided by a committee of the Senior Class, Mr. Jones
and Mr, J. Bart,' Laughlin, to stage
the play,. "A Race For A Million" from
the members of the senior class of
Clare High School sometime in the
middle of May.
It is a play very appropriate for presentation by High School Students,
and not sensational as the name would
seem to .indicate. A young clerk 'falls
in love'with a millionaire's daughter
to which match the father of the girl
is decidedly averse. The father is for
marrying his daughter to a rich old
man who is a very humorous character in the play, being hard of .hearing, etc. The father was not acquainted with the young man and not knowing that he was the 'fellow that his
sister wanted to marry agree"d to help
him win the hand of his own daughter. In the end all is found out and
the joke is on the girl's father mucn
to his chagrin. It is a piece. of rich
comedy all the way through. *
Mr. Laughlin has sold a 16 page program and SQ0 tickets on his present
job in -Mt. Pleasant and everyone may
look forward to an excellent production when "the. play is put on.
POVERTY RESULT MORE THAN
CAUSE OF TUBERCULOSIS
SAYS STATE SECRETARY
Lansing, April 17—Once it was
thought that poverty was the cause
of tuborculosis; now it is known that
poverty is more the result than the
cause, according to Theo. J. Werle,
executive secretary of the Michigan
Tuberculosis Association, "When we
began tuberculosis- v*Q.rk,'v he. said, "we
saw that'people who were poor were
also people who had tuberculosis, and
we believed that poverty was 'a. reason
for tubgrQUloslal and we attempted to
rel'i-V**. that condition* Nqw.'H'e,

work, doling out coats and shoes, is
not the way to fight tuber.ulQSia,
though it was once cons,id._r_„ th- proper way tb carry Cju^ t^e work,"
The proper V.ay"tO carry on tuberculosis work, accordla*. to Mr. "Werle
is to make clear by demonstration
the need of the various agencies that
help to prevent th. spread of this disease, such as, visiting nurses, sanatoria, pr-jv-ntoria, open air schools, and
so on, and then have the people them
selves tax themselves to, provide these
agencies. Th..., makes tuberculosis
work a, permanent service and not a
lmjra haphazard work of temporary relief.
GREENLAW AND PEASE
DRAW RIG AUDIENCES
Seating  Capacity 'of- Baptist
Church Taxed at Revival
Services.
A sound kindly gospel message and
a singer at his best are demonstrat- .
ing nightly at the Baptist Church that '
the old, old story of redeeming love
still has power to grip and hold the
rapt attention of men and women, even though upwards of 2,000 years old.
The messages glvento Clare by Evangelist Pease are uplifting and comprehensive, and many have expressed
their appreciation. Mr. Greenlaw, the
gifted gospel singer, combines the rare'
gift of being an interpreter of music
with a voice of great' sweetness andt
power, But also is a leader of wonderful ability, and it is surprising the inspiration a congregation receives from
singing a hymn under his'leadership.
It is to be regretted that he is only
to be here one week, as the services
will close Sunday evening. So all are
urged to be sure and attend. *•
Tonight, Friday, ttev. Pease will
speak on "Blockades on the Road to
Hell," with Prof. Greenlaw singing the
"Mother song."
Saturday night song and praise service: Subject: "The One Thing Needful."
Suuday morning subject: "The Second Coming of Jesus Christ."
Sunday evening, 7:30, sermon subject: "Life's Greatest Question," Prof*.
Greenlaw will sing the "Holy  City."
Tuesday evening next, April 25, Mr,
Greenlaw assisted by Mrsu Greenlaw
will give a recital in. the Methodist
church. Mrs. Greenlaw is an elocutionist o£ r*\re and pleasing abUtty-.
The entertainment given by these
talented people is worth going a long
