EADING
TO LEAVE CLARE
Prominent Clare Lawyer
Sells Law and Insurance
Business.
STATE FARM GROUPS
PLAN ANNUAL MEETS
WILL MOVE FAMILY
- TO ANN ARBOR SOON
. Last week C. A. Reading, of this
*:ity sold his law business, library and
office equipment located over Anderson's" drug store to Atty. Jos. Bowler
of this city, and his insurance business to the Clare Realty Company.
On Tuesday of tnis week Mr. Reading left for Ann Arbor, where he will
open law offices for the genera,! prac
-tice of law. He will return at stated
intervals, however, to close up his
unfinished business.
In losing Mr. Reading, Clare suffers a distinct loss. Coming here as
a teacher nineteen years ago and later locating in this city after his graduation from the University, he has,
at all time, been active in all things
that led to the betterment and general
uplift of the community. ' «
For twelve years Mr, Reading has
acted as Secretary of the Board of
Education and this city is indebted
to him, in no small degree, for the
beautiful educational institution that
is ours.
Furthermore little is known by the
public in general, of the many lbng
days of labor 'given over by him, without compensation or reward of any
kind, in* perfecting the bonding proceedings of the district during year
of 1921-1922.
For nine years Mr. Reading held the
office of City Atty. of the city and for
four successive times has been elected Prosecuting Attorney of this
county. In"" that time he has fullfllled
the duties of this office without fear
or favor to any person, and at all
times guarded well the interest of the
taxpayers of the county. Mr. Reading will continue to fullnll the duties
of this office until the end of his present term, the interests, of the same
being looked after by an assistant appointed by him.
Enjoying one of the largest* practices in Central Michigan, counting
all classes his friends, it is indeed a
noble sacrifice on the part of Mr.
Reading and his good wife, to give all
,thiS up for the one purpose and the
purpose only that of taking their
family, consisting of four children, to
Ann Arbor where they can grow to
manhood and womanhood in their
own home, surrounded by college environment and secure the education
given by our great institution' of
learning namely the University of
Michigan.
Mrs. Reading and the family will
remain in Clare until the close of the
school year.

RESORTPROPERTY
Another Glare County-Beauty Spot to be Greatly
•Improved and Lots
\ Sold.
Last week James S. Bicknell received the following letter from, J. W. Mc-
Call, of Gibson City, III., which sets
forth.the finticlpated improvement of
Windover Lake in Freeman, township,
which is one of Clare county's prettiest beauty spots. The improvement
is tq, be done by Leinbach Bros^fi Co.
of "Detroit, who will spare no "efforts
to make it the best in the county.
December 27th,' 1923.
James S. Bicknell, Clare, Mich,*
Dear Mr, Bicknell:
I have just returned from a meeting with Leinbach Bros. & Company,
of Detroit who are going.. to handle
our Windover Lake Development, I
have no doubt that you will' be interested'in the work that is • going on
there and the estimate which these
gentlemen have placed upon the practicability of the enterprise.
Every one who has visited Wind-
over, Lake in this matter has been
carried away with the beauty 'of it
and its surroundings. I first thought
that my estimation- of it might be influenced by reason qf the fact that we
owned it and that the Opinion my
friends have expressed might have
been fostered from a desire to please
me. I feel now, however, that there
have been several, what .you might
term "hard-boiled" critics who have
examined it closely and have passed
most favorably upon it. Among these
is Mr. Wilhelm of Detroit, the engineer who plotted the Sub-Division.
He reports that he believes it is one
o/ the most attractve resort properties in Michigan and with the golf
coursg, club house and other developments predicts that it will take precedence Over every other resort in the
central part of the state at least.
In my meeting with Mr. Leinbach
yesterday, he informs me that the
many sub-divisions and resort properties that they have developed, that
he believes this is the best and they
are planning great things in the way
of advertising, .road signs, etc. for
next spring and summer. He tells me
that Windover Lake will be advertised on all the Michigan highways and^
fifty thousand maps and prospect-

CONGREGATIONAL
CHURCH HOLDS
ANNUAL MEETING
Organization Now in Excellent Condition. Officers Elected for
Ensuing Year.
The members of the Congregational
church and the. ladies societies, the
Guild and Union, met'at the church
Tuesday evening for a pot luck supper, the occasion "being the annual
meeting of the church. After the
bountiful supper, which was served
by the two ladies societies, the meeting was called to order by the pastor.
Rev. H. B. Johnson. Mr. W. H. Eld-
on led in prayer. Reports were given
by the various organizations of the
church. The treasurers report a's
given by Mr. L. E. Davy showed the
church to' be in excellent financial
condition. Forty-nine persons have
been received into the membership of
the church since Oct. 1, 1923.
A very interesting report by Mrs. A.
H. Horton, superintendent of the Sunday school made each person present
feel the responsibility for this work
The present enrollment Is 185 and
after paying for .the Christmas tree
expenses and making a contribution
to the Community Fund and paying
for the next quarters supplies in advance, there is still a balance in the
treasury. -' '
The ladies societies, the Guild and
Union are both in a prosperous condition. They have raised consider
able sums of money during the year
and have added greatly to the social
life of the church.
The Benevolences are well looked
after by the President of the Missionary society, Mi's. C. H. Sutherland.
A -budget of ?2700 was adopted and
a special financial committee appointed to have charge of the every member canvass to secure subscriptions
to cover this amount. The committee
is John A. Nelson, N. A. Elden, H. C.
Cudney, Fred ■Thompson, George

WOODRUFF A LEADER IN CONGRESS
i • —
Has Gained for Himself
National Reputation and
Confidence of Fellow
Congressmen.
r ""——————
It must be indeed gratifying to the
supporters and friends of Congressman
Woodruff, to find him becoming one
of the Joaders of that great body ot
our Government.
Entering Congress three years ago
from'a somewhat-obscure district ot
Michigan, of which Clare County is a
part, our Congressman, by his activity "in demanding representation ot
the masses, instead of special privileges to classes, has gained for himself a national*reputation, and the
name of Roy O, Woodruff, is now common to all students of political history.
At the present time Mr., Woodruff
Is bending every effort .possible ' to
■work out changes in the rules of the
House in which he is a member. Under the present rule, no member can
receive recognition or be heard upon
a question, howsoever vital, without
first obtaining consent and recognition of the Rules Committee. In the
examination of this it is easily discerned- how impossible ,it is to obtain beneficial legislation and how all
legislation at the present time is under absolute control, of such Rule
Committee, Mr. WijoodruB has been
in almost continuous conferences with
other leaders of the House of Representatives in effort to effect permanent changes to give all members a
chance in legislation.
Other changes advocated by our
Congressman is, that every member
will go on record on every vote. At
the present time when the House resolves itself into the "Committee of
the Whole" there is no record taken
ol the vote, and members often vote
one way on measures in committees
and another way in^the House. Many
actions or amendments to bills are
out-voted in committees of the whole
and there* is no record of each members vote.
Still another change advanced
would make it impossible for any member to hold up legislation by refusing
to report to the House as chairman,
the actions of his committee.
These changes, as advocated by
this gentleman, are vital .to better
government and the stand taken by
this distinguished congressman Is
worthy of the hearty support of 'his
constituents throughout, his entire district. *
CLARE STUDY CLUB
The annual meeting of the Clare
Study Club was entertained at the
home of Mrs. C. C. Haris last Tuesday afterno6n. Twenty-six members
and\one visitor, Mrs. Harold Poulson,
were present. The president—Mrs.
E. A. Anderson, gave a very interesting address in her -usual pleasing maii-
ner, after which election of officers
took place 'with "the following results.
Pres.,—Mrs. Wm. H. Caple; .Vice
Pres., Mrs. A. E. Mulder; Recording
Se.cy., Mrs. A. M. Artibee; Corresponding Secy., Mrs. N. Elden;
Treas., Mrs. Howard 'Jones. Mrs.
Wm. H. 'Caple was elected as delegate to the Annual State Federation
Convention and Mrs.E. Allen as delegate to the District Convention. We
were also favored with music on the
yictrola an.d two pretty songs by Mrs.
F. MeGuire. A silver tea was served
by an appointed committee and then
we adjourned to meet in two weeks
with Mrs. A. E. Achard.'

FIREMEN'S BENEFIT
A BIG SUCCESS
Hundreds of People Attend
Showing of "The Third
Alarm" Tuesday and
Wednesday Evenings.
THEATRE PACKED TO
CAPACITY BOTH NIGHTS
CLARE GIRLS GIVE
ALMA TRIMMING
Boys' Basket Ball Team
Lose to Mt. Pleasant" to
the Tune, of 36 to 1.
More than nine hundred people
gathered at the Princess Theatre
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of
this week, when as the firemen's
benefit, "The Third Alarm" was
shown. Tuesday night many people
were disappointed in hot being able
to gain admittance in spite of the fact
that two shows were given. Wednesday evening scores of them were forced to wait for the second show.
The drama of "The Third Alarm"
was excellent. There were thrills galore. The fire "scene was beyond
question the greatest and most thrilling ever flung upon the screen. The
rescue of June by her fireman hero,
played by Johnnie Walker, was big
}with dramatic punch. The crash of
the great safe and the collapse of the
blazing- walls of the Rutherford Apartments are smashing episodes of drama. «The dash of the old fire horse
through a wall of flame with Dah
McDowell on his back and their re-
cue of the * young couple trapped beneath the safe in the flaming inferno
was'another heart wrenching scene
that reflects the wizardous production skill of Emory Johnson. *
Time and space prevents us from
giving due credit to this production.
While the last show was being
made".Wednesday evening, John As-
line, proprietor of the theatre, invited , the city firemen to his home,
where Mrs. Asline had prepared a
smoking hot oyster supper. After this
they were treated to cigars and .taken
to the living room where they listen
ed to radio concerts from different
places in the United, States and Canada.
The firemen feel grateful for goodwill displayed, by the people 6f Clare
and vicinity and to the loads who
braved the snow drifts from the St.

Also to Mr. and Mrs. Asline in the
courtesy of turning over their theatre

Last Friday night, game proved
very dlsasterous to the Clare boys.
Altho Mt. Pleasant had only one or
two second year men our boys' were-
not able to hold down- the score.
The inability on the part of the
Clare' squad in handling the ball
seems to be their only draw back.
Most of Mt, Pleasant scores were
made11 by-one man intercepting a pass
which was thrown almost directly
into his hands.' Our boys must realize
that to be a winning team they must
have the .ball in their possession". A
good passing team will be a Winning
team, for anyone who has possession,
of the ball under his basket can d*rop
it in. The essential point is to get the
ball down there, and it can't be done
by keeping the ball In the center ot*
the court and passing to someone who
Is standing still. A good basket ball
slogan is "Never be caught flat footed". Until our boys can break at the
proper time and be In the open'sspace
with the ball a few seconds ahead of
them they will.not register the winning points,
During the game 15 men were played against Clare, all of about the
same caliber. The Mt. Pleasant team,
seemed much faster than, they really
were on account of very little oppdsi-
tion. Few personal fouls were made
only two for each team.

DO FARMERS WANT
BETTER FIRE
PROTECTION
Clare Fire Department Willing
to Co-operate in the Purchasing and Building of Chemical
Truck.
During the pastv several 'years the
Clare -Fire Department has made
many runs to the country and have
been the means of saving many hund>
reds of dollars worth of property.
This- has been done with the large!
chemical tanks, which are now*
mounted on two large wheels. The*
running gear of this apparatus is now"
not safe to make more runs, but the
tanks are as good as ever. In the
near future the Department is planing
to. purchase a new Ford truck chasis
,and mount these tanks thereon, providing that they can get sufficient
support from the farmers within a
radius of five or six miles of Clare.
By doing this "The Boys" will he enabled to' make even quicker time by
one-half than in the past.
This does not mean that the farmer
must mike any great contribution in.
order to receive the service. Any
sum from ?1.00 up will be accepted.
Some .farmers can easily give m'Qpe
than others, but to show how easy It
ban be accomplished, if every farmer
within the rauius above stated would
give $1.00 it would go over the top
quick. -
I. E- Hampton has made a liberal
donation to start this work and the
department will wait for further developments. Every farmer should .be
interested in this as the investment
may be the means of saving him several hundreds of dollars. v
Members of the fire department
will donate their time and work of the
mounting of the tanks and the building of the car above the chasis and
one farmer has offered the lumber'
for the bodyl

SENTINEL ,N - Official Paper of Clare and Clare County Established 1878 *- CLARE MICHIGAN, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 11, 1924 New Series: Vol. 32, No, 11 EADING TO LEAVE CLARE Prominent Clare Lawyer Sells Law and Insurance Business. STATE FARM GROUPS PLAN ANNUAL MEETS WILL MOVE FAMILY - TO ANN ARBOR SOON . Last week C. A. Reading, of this *:ity sold his law business, library and office equipment located over Anderson's" drug store to Atty. Jos. Bowler of this city, and his insurance business to the Clare Realty Company. On Tuesday of tnis week Mr. Reading left for Ann Arbor, where he will open law offices for the genera,! prac -tice of law. He will return at stated intervals, however, to close up his unfinished business. In losing Mr. Reading, Clare suffers a distinct loss. Coming here as a teacher nineteen years ago and later locating in this city after his graduation from the University, he has, at all time, been active in all things that led to the betterment and general uplift of the community. ' « For twelve years Mr, Reading has acted as Secretary of the Board of Education and this city is indebted to him, in no small degree, for the beautiful educational institution that is ours. Furthermore little is known by the public in general, of the many lbng days of labor 'given over by him, without compensation or reward of any kind, in* perfecting the bonding proceedings of the district during year of 1921-1922. For nine years Mr. Reading held the office of City Atty. of the city and for four successive times has been elected Prosecuting Attorney of this county. In"" that time he has fullfllled the duties of this office without fear or favor to any person, and at all times guarded well the interest of the taxpayers of the county. Mr. Reading will continue to fullnll the duties of this office until the end of his present term, the interests, of the same being looked after by an assistant appointed by him. Enjoying one of the largest* practices in Central Michigan, counting all classes his friends, it is indeed a noble sacrifice on the part of Mr. Reading and his good wife, to give all ,thiS up for the one purpose and the purpose only that of taking their family, consisting of four children, to Ann Arbor where they can grow to manhood and womanhood in their own home, surrounded by college environment and secure the education given by our great institution' of learning namely the University of Michigan. Mrs. Reading and the family will remain in Clare until the close of the school year. OBITUARY. John Leslie Parks, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Parks was born in .

WILL DEVELOP WINDOVER LAKE RESORTPROPERTY Another Glare County-Beauty Spot to be Greatly •Improved and Lots \ Sold. Last week James S. Bicknell received the following letter from, J. W. Mc- Call, of Gibson City, III., which sets forth.the finticlpated improvement of Windover Lake in Freeman, township, which is one of Clare county's prettiest beauty spots. The improvement is tq, be done by Leinbach Bros^fi Co. of "Detroit, who will spare no "efforts to make it the best in the county. December 27th,' 1923. James S. Bicknell, Clare, Mich,* Dear Mr, Bicknell: I have just returned from a meeting with Leinbach Bros. & Company, of Detroit who are going.. to handle our Windover Lake Development, I have no doubt that you will' be interested'in the work that is • going on there and the estimate which these gentlemen have placed upon the practicability of the enterprise. Every one who has visited Wind- over, Lake in this matter has been carried away with the beauty 'of it and its surroundings. I first thought that my estimation- of it might be influenced by reason qf the fact that we owned it and that the Opinion my friends have expressed might have been fostered from a desire to please me. I feel now, however, that there have been several, what .you might term "hard-boiled" critics who have examined it closely and have passed most favorably upon it. Among these is Mr. Wilhelm of Detroit, the engineer who plotted the Sub-Division. He reports that he believes it is one o/ the most attractve resort properties in Michigan and with the golf coursg, club house and other developments predicts that it will take precedence Over every other resort in the central part of the state at least. In my meeting with Mr. Leinbach yesterday, he informs me that the many sub-divisions and resort properties that they have developed, that he believes this is the best and they are planning great things in the way of advertising, .road signs, etc. for next spring and summer. He tells me that Windover Lake will be advertised on all the Michigan highways and^ fifty thousand maps and prospect- , (Continued on Last Page) STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE FOR DINNER TOMORROW Mr. and Mrs. E.

After the bountiful supper, which was served by the two ladies societies, the meeting was called to order by the pastor. Rev. H. B. Johnson. Mr. W. H. Eld- on led in prayer. Reports were given by the various organizations of the church. The treasurers report a's given by Mr. L. E. Davy showed the church to' be in excellent financial condition. Forty-nine persons have been received into the membership of the church since Oct. 1, 1923. A very interesting report by Mrs. A. H. Horton, superintendent of the Sunday school made each person present feel the responsibility for this work The present enrollment Is 185 and after paying for .the Christmas tree expenses and making a contribution to the Community Fund and paying for the next quarters supplies in advance, there is still a balance in the treasury. -' ' The ladies societies, the Guild and Union are both in a prosperous condition. They have raised consider able sums of money during the year and have added greatly to the social life of the church. The Benevolences are well looked after by the President of the Missionary society, Mi's. C. H. Sutherland. A -budget of ?2700 was adopted and a special financial committee appointed to have charge of the every member canvass to secure subscriptions to cover this amount. The committee is John A. Nelson, N.

WOODRUFF A LEADER IN CONGRESS i • — Has Gained for Himself National Reputation and Confidence of Fellow Congressmen. r ""—————— It must be indeed gratifying to the supporters and friends of Congressman Woodruff, to find him becoming one of the Joaders of that great body ot our Government. Entering Congress three years ago from'a somewhat-obscure district ot Michigan, of which Clare County is a part, our Congressman, by his activity "in demanding representation ot the masses, instead of special privileges to classes, has gained for himself a national*reputation, and the name of Roy O, Woodruff, is now common to all students of political history. At the present time Mr., Woodruff Is bending every effort .possible ' to ■work out changes in the rules of the House in which he is a member. Under the present rule, no member can receive recognition or be heard upon a question, howsoever vital, without first obtaining consent and recognition of the Rules Committee. In the examination of this it is easily discerned- how impossible ,it is to obtain beneficial legislation and how all legislation at the present time is under absolute control, of such Rule Committee, Mr. WijoodruB has been in almost continuous conferences with other leaders of the House of Representatives in effort to effect permanent changes to give all members a chance in legislation. Other changes advocated by our Congressman is, that every member will go on record on every vote. At the present time when the House resolves itself into the "Committee of the Whole" there is no record taken ol the vote, and members often vote one way on measures in committees and another way in^the House. Many actions or amendments to bills are out-voted in committees of the whole and there* is no record of each members vote. Still another change advanced would make it impossible for any member to hold up legislation by refusing to report to the House as chairman, the actions of his committee. These changes, as advocated by this gentleman, are vital .to better government and the stand taken by this distinguished congressman Is worthy of the hearty support of 'his constituents throughout, his entire district. * CLARE STUDY CLUB The annual meeting of the Clare Study Club was entertained at the home of Mrs. C. C. Haris last Tuesday afterno6n. Twenty-six members and\one visitor, Mrs. Harold Poulson, were present. The president—Mrs. E. A. Anderson, gave a very interesting address in her -usual pleasing maii- ner, after which election of officers took place 'with "the following results. Pres.,—Mrs. Wm. H. Caple; .Vice Pres., Mrs. A. E. Mulder; Recording Se.cy., Mrs. A. M. Artibee; Corresponding Secy., Mrs. N. Elden; Treas., Mrs. Howard 'Jones. Mrs. Wm. H. 'Caple was elected as delegate to the Annual State Federation Convention and Mrs.E. Allen as delegate to the District Convention. We were also favored with music on the yictrola an.d two pretty songs by Mrs. F. MeGuire. A silver tea was served by an appointed committee and then we adjourned to meet in two weeks with Mrs. A. E. Achard.' L*. C.f, ANNOUNCEMENT *■' . , Having purchased the law business of C. A.

THEATRE PACKED TO CAPACITY BOTH NIGHTS CLARE GIRLS GIVE ALMA TRIMMING Boys' Basket Ball Team Lose to Mt. Pleasant" to the Tune, of 36 to 1. More than nine hundred people gathered at the Princess Theatre Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of this week, when as the firemen's benefit, "The Third Alarm" was shown. Tuesday night many people were disappointed in hot being able to gain admittance in spite of the fact that two shows were given. Wednesday evening scores of them were forced to wait for the second show. The drama of "The Third Alarm" was excellent. There were thrills galore. The fire "scene was beyond question the greatest and most thrilling ever flung upon the screen. The rescue of June by her fireman hero, played by Johnnie Walker, was big }with dramatic punch. The crash of the great safe and the collapse of the blazing- walls of the Rutherford Apartments are smashing episodes of drama. «The dash of the old fire horse through a wall of flame with Dah McDowell on his back and their re- cue of the * young couple trapped beneath the safe in the flaming inferno was'another heart wrenching scene that reflects the wizardous production skill of Emory Johnson. * Time and space prevents us from giving due credit to this production. While the last show was being made".Wednesday evening, John As- line, proprietor of the theatre, invited , the city firemen to his home, where Mrs. Asline had prepared a smoking hot oyster supper. After this they were treated to cigars and .taken to the living room where they listen ed to radio concerts from different places in the United, States and Canada. The firemen feel grateful for goodwill displayed, by the people 6f Clare and vicinity and to the loads who braved the snow drifts from the St. ■Henry's Acadamy in- Order to attend Also to Mr. and Mrs. Asline in the courtesy of turning over their theatre to them for the two nights sumptuous supper, and the MT.

Atkins "" Last Friday night, game proved very dlsasterous to the Clare boys. Altho Mt. Pleasant had only one or two second year men our boys' were- not able to hold down- the score. The inability on the part of the Clare' squad in handling the ball seems to be their only draw back. Most of Mt, Pleasant scores were made11 by-one man intercepting a pass which was thrown almost directly into his hands.' Our boys must realize that to be a winning team they must have the .ball in their possession". A good passing team will be a Winning team, for anyone who has possession, of the ball under his basket can d*rop it in. The essential point is to get the ball down there, and it can't be done by keeping the ball In the center ot* the court and passing to someone who Is standing still. A good basket ball slogan is "Never be caught flat footed". Until our boys can break at the proper time and be In the open'sspace with the ball a few seconds ahead of them they will.not register the winning points, During the game 15 men were played against Clare, all of about the same caliber. The Mt. Pleasant team, seemed much faster than, they really were on account of very little oppdsi- tion. Few personal fouls were made only two for each team.

During the pastv several 'years the Clare -Fire Department has made many runs to the country and have been the means of saving many hund> reds of dollars worth of property. This- has been done with the large! chemical tanks, which are now* mounted on two large wheels. The* running gear of this apparatus is now" not safe to make more runs, but the tanks are as good as ever. In the near future the Department is planing to. purchase a new Ford truck chasis ,and mount these tanks thereon, providing that they can get sufficient support from the farmers within a radius of five or six miles of Clare. By doing this "The Boys" will he enabled to' make even quicker time by one-half than in the past. This does not mean that the farmer must mike any great contribution in. order to receive the service. Any sum from ?1.00 up will be accepted. Some .farmers can easily give m'Qpe than others, but to show how easy It ban be accomplished, if every farmer within the rauius above stated would give $1.00 it would go over the top quick. - I. E- Hampton has made a liberal donation to start this work and the department will wait for further developments. Every farmer should .be interested in this as the investment may be the means of saving him several hundreds of dollars. v Members of the fire department will donate their time and work of the mounting of the tanks and the building of the car above the chasis and one farmer has offered the lumber' for the bodyl Make all communications and donations to the Secretary of the Fire Department, O.
