The prosperity—financial or moral,

should be the first desire of such communities.
Clare has a wide-awake Chamber of

the city. It has performed many commendable services and its opportunities for future work are endless. No
more praiseworthy effort could be
made by that body than to help Clare

term of lesson he felt perfectly competent to manage any gasoline-driven
vehicle from a Ford to a Rolls Royce.
' But his car developed pranks with
which  he  was not familiar.   It frequently insisted upon exceeding the
speed limit, and when doing so it also
insisted   upon   combatting   telephone
1-oles, dodge bridges, and advancing to
the rear when  it should go  forward.
Clark became nervous, dismayed and
j-.nhlly disheartened.   He quit motoring.   He failed  to  reckon,  however,
with one  factor that locates  permanently with every individual who even
for abrief period presides at the wheel.
He had the "bug."   To get out in front
ancl stay there was a disease with him
back in his base ball days.
This spring he conceived a new and
original idea. He resolved to himselt
'hat motor boating was his fort. Unannounced he visited a ship yard in a
neighboring city and purchased a
water speedster of the latest type. He
was certain that even with his limited
knowledge of navigation he could
shower all the rowboats that ply the
waters of Lake George, and there the
craft was launched.
But that is not all the tale. Nobody
tn this vicinity ever knew of a Bicknell driving the ambulance in the rear
of a parade. The present generation
fills every Jiope and prediction of its
immediate   predecessar.   "Either _ be

glides by the Sutherland.

restauranteurs and dealers in lake

to take place before sunrise, with the

the Bureau of Internal Revenue in diverting to their own usos funds which
they collected were described today by
Fred L, Woodworth, collector at Detroit, Avho is spending the week-end
with his family here.
Shortages uncovered so far and
I mado good by former collectors
amount to about ?2,000. Mr. Wood-
orth, however, fears the shortages will
grow as the investigation continues.
He believes that from 12 to 15 former collectors will be involved by the
gi&nd jury inquiry, which begins in
Detroit, June S.
AVith all income tax records in tho
Eastern Michigan District open to
their inspection, it was the duty of
the field deputies to check these records with payrolls furnished the Government by employees, and otherwise
io --seertain the truth of returns made
to the collector. Where it was evident
that a fifll return had not boon made,
investigation has shewn in the ease of
three deputies that the deputy would

this return and call for an amended
return.

Announcement bythe Publisher
The Courier last week was placed
under the immediate management of
Mr. T. W. Michael, well known in this
vicinity as a printer and active as one
of the boosters for Clare and vicinity.
Rev. C. B. Milberry, who has been
in charge of tho publication for the
past nine months, has found it necessary to devote his entire time to his
church duties ancl has resigned tho direct management of the paper. Iu doing so Mr. Milberry responds to tho
needs of his increasing congre..'tion,
for whom he has performed a fa I'.-fdl
service.
"Tom" Michael was first emn oyed
by The Courier nearly twenty-five
years ago, and was so employfid when
he enlisted in Uncle Sam's le .ions for
the Spanish-American War. He carries the iiidellible scars of faithful service in that clash of arms.
He has the qualities essential to
giving Clare a crediUnle ne--1 .--paper.,
and he will do his best to make good.
The editor, who est-blished The
Courier, will participate more actively
than for some yars. Claro county has
no other publication under a single
ownership for so long a period. Tho
Courier has during its entire existence
been for Clare and Clare county, and
it will so continue so long as it remains under my control,
I ask just that proportion of the
public's good will and patronage as
the character and the enterprise, of
The Courier warrants. It is my confident hope that Mr. Michael, with such
aid as I may be able to render, will
make the publication worthy of. your
approval.
Yours since 1895,
A. R. CANFIELD, Publisher.

of the devil. A nia_ is like a horse—
the more you spur them, the better
they prance." Clementina (Dorothy
Gorr) in "Race For A Million."
Other means*"of defrauding the' Government, Mr. Woodworth said, involved the collection of several special
taxes. Persons convicted in Federal
court of illegal manufacture of liquor
are frequently assessed a tax by the
Bureau of Internal Revenue, in addition to fines or penalties imposed by
the court, ancl the tax seldom amounts
to less than $500 more often $1,000.
THE BOOTLEGGERS' TAX
"A deputy sent to collect this tax,"
Mr. Woodworth said, might find the
convicted person living in the lap of
luxury, possessor of a boulevard home
ancl a flotilla of-automobiles. The deputy may turn the tax in, if he is honest or he may fill out what we call
"Form 53" which certifies that the person is financially unable to meet the
tax. We have thousands of such blanks
in our files and each one will be investigated."
The third method which is being investigated involves- the collection of
theatre, soda fountain and other so-
called luxury taxes. A deputy may call
on a person making such a return, ancl
on examination of his accounts, demand further remittance of taxes. Receiving the same and giving a receipt
the account is closed so far as the tax-
paper and deputy are concerned, and
there is no method of bookkeeping
which will show the deficiency jn the
bureau's accounts.
"I am anxious,v Mr. Woodworth announces, "that any taxpayer who is
suspicious of any such transaction
give us the facts. In only this way
can we get at the truth and secure justice for the taxpayer and the Govern
ment."—Detroit News
'tor. in attendance are'&b "hopes that
the operation will prove successful.
The many friends of his Honor will
await the outcome hoping for the best.
