In making my initial introduction to the public as

of place to state the future
policy of* the paper. Will
conduct the paper as independent in regard politics.

It is my intention to
make the paper a credit to
Clare. One that its citizens
can point to with pride. If

to say it will come out and
say it. It will always stand
ready ,to give a boost to
any proposition that will
boost Clare.
Realizing that I have a
hard and long pull ahead to
place .the  Courier on its
feet I ask its subscribers,
who  are in arrears  for
their subscriptions to kindly call at the office and pay

MINERS WAIT
HARDING MOVE
Deadlock With  Operators
. Over Plan Halts
Negotiations
Mistake Rectified
The cares and worries
of an editor are at times
very trying. Last week
seemed to be an exceptional hard one on us. Our
mind occupied with t h e
purchasing of the paper, a
new repoter on the job,
and the getting out of a
two page bill for Wilson-
Davy Co., in addition to the
regular work of the paper
all of which caused us to
make a serious blunder in
one of the articles printed,
whereby the parties concerned have taken exceptions, and they had a perfect right, as we ourselves,
would not like to be tied
the wrong one even in the
paper. Last week we wrote
of a double Wedding. What
do you suppose we did? We
tangled up the ball of yarn
and., got the parties maiv
ried wrong. We had Miss
Pauline Keebler married to
Mr. Emery Chaffe and we
had Miss Elizabeth Travis
married to Mr. Phillip Tea-
hout. Can you imagine
such a thing? We' hope
there will
proceedings
the editor is worried. Marriage is a very serious matter even when they are
hooked up right, but Oh!
Ye Gods when they are
hooked up wrong. Well,
here we go in the untangling of this very serious affair. Miss Pauline Keebler
should have married Mr.
Phillip Teachout and Miss
Elizabeth Trayis should
have been united in the
holy bonds of matrimony
with Mr- Emery Chaffe.
Now that we have rectified
mistakes and got them
safe it is to be hoped the
preacher has them tied
right.—Editor.
Washington, July 4 —
Pending President Harding's returd, to Washington
again to assume leadership
in the government's effort
to end the mine stride, no
disposition t o negotiate-
informally was evident
Tuesday in the camps of
the warring leaders of the
coal industry.
The miners, headed by
John L, Lewis, president of
the United States Mine
Workers, gathered in consultation, receiving and
dispatching telegrams at
Indianapolis. The only
comment they would make
on the deadlock reached in
the joint conference called,
by President Harding was
that the "-miners stand
firm."
