WO DAY BLIZZARD
ITS CENTRAL MICH.
County Roads Are Almost
Impassable   as   Strong
Wind  Piles   Snow
High.
Railroads   Are   Blocked   Until
Snow Plow Brings Relief.
Clare County's weather man waited, most considerably, until all our
south and west bound travelers had
safely hied^ themselves to more torrid
zones, .and then 'sprung his latest
seasonal surprise.
He started in Sunday afternoon wlfii
.a ripping good snow storm from, the
northeast. Kept it up all that night
b\it slacked away Monday morning in
time so that the City snow scapers and
scoops could start the job of clearing
the streets. The Old Boy.was not content however with this-demonstatioh
and began again Monday afternoon
more viciously than ever and until
Tuesday forenoon gave the first .real
blizzard that Clare has had in several
years. Then came a fine rain and to
-ry things again, all day Wednesday
*v, was a gentle snow.
Early Tuesday it was announced
that all trains on the Pere Marquette
ihad been cancelled for the.' day, but
shortly afternoon a •.locomotive and
plow went west, through'here" and the
two afternoon passenger trains made
their runs, though and hour or two
late". Conditions south of Saginaw
and Bay City, from reports," do not
appear tp.be r&ar as bad as those
north and west of here.
On M14 north and south of Clare
' drifts sfcc, eight and ten feet high are
reported common On many roads
even Thursday afternoon horses or
travel of any kind other than walking has hot been attempted. The
rural mail carriers of the county are
taking a vacation other than reporting in the morning. SOme have, attempted to go, but were, forced back.
In this city the streets were all but
impassable, Monday night the lire
truck plowed its way from the hall to
5th street, but Tuesday morning the
firemen found nearly four feet of snow
in front of the hall. Eight of the men
responded to a call for shovelers and
soon had their way clear to the street.
Mayor Thompson and Engineer Erter
soon had three teams hitched to the
city snow plow and cleared the way
to the business section. On account
of it* being impossible to plow the
walks, temporary relief was given by
plowing .the center of all streets. This
also insured the response of the fire
truck in case of a call. Further precaution were also taken. John Lamb
and his team of horses were .kept
harnessed in the city hall for three
nights for any emergency.
According to the "oldest inhabitants" this is just about the most
snow at one time that Clare has experienced in twenty years.

SOMETHING FOR YOU
TO THINK ABOUT
N. L. Tibbils Writes  Article Giving Ideas  on Adjustment of War Time
Pay for Soldiers.
(Continued From Last Week)
,   So far Mr. Citizen for vexpenditure
of your money in which you have no
voice.
In the early days when Sir. Walter
Raleigh had' won favoritism from the
Queen of England thru a little kindness, he at once took it upon himself
to give the Qijeen'good advice. His argument was that Great Britian mnsr
own a large merchant marine on tffe
seas, carry her own goods to and from
foreign ports and at once set up competition to the boats' from Holland •
Spain, etc. ThfS lesson given "350
years ago is a clear one and if farmers products', etc., etc., are to be
carried to foreign markets and their
exports"" brought into this country,—
Did you ever ask yourself the question—Why can't it be "done with
American boats, hiring American
labor and this gffod American money
kept in America?. In 1920 New York
received nearly $3,000,000,000 worth
of imports and goods valued at?4,000-
00.0,000 were exported the Bulk of
which was carried in English vessels
—England being the Mistress of the
sea.
During the war our , Government
spent about 3 billion dollars on ships.
Originally there was to be 3000 ships,
but the end of the war coming too
soon found 2,312 of various classes
nearly built. Now Mr. Citizen what
aid this, enormously expensive fleet
accomplish during the war?? 388
vessels had been completed on the
date of Armistice of these 6 vessels
carried 341467 men overseas. 95
other vessels carried 811,912 tons of
war cargo abroad. The rest did not
get in action. Therefore for 3 billtbr.
dollars we got thlsi much real-service.
It was a war cost and therefore inescapable.--

The Annual Income Tax Drive, is
now on, and it is purposed by Col-
i.lectdr Fred L. Woodworth, of Detroit, to have one of his field deputies
visit Clare, Michigan, before the close
of the campaign to instruct taxpayers
as to the manner of making returns
and render such assistance as they can
in the short time that can be spent
in each place.
Deputy Collector I. B. Richardson
will visit Clare, Michigan on February 12, 1924, making his headquarters at Hotel Doherty where taxpayers may meet him. Much time will be
saved if figures are carefully compiled
and classified as to receipts and expenses before visiting the deputy.
Forms for . making reports have
been mailed to all those who last year
reported for the income tax! and these
forms should be brought by the taxpayer when he visits the deptity collector. Every single person whose income in 192^ was $1,000.00 or more
and evr-y "married person whose in-
Come was ?2,000.00 or more is required to make a return.

Girls Play to Tie
Two of the most exciting games of
the season, so far, were played at
Harrison last week The girls teams
were very evenly matched and both
teams fought hard to win.
Owing to the poorly lighted hall and
dark backboards our girls were up-
able to play at their best. In. the first
quarter Harrison took the lead and for
a time seemed to be running away
with It. At'the close of the quarter
the score was 6-2.
_ During_ the second quarter Clare
held their opponents to 3 points and
made 4 making the score 9-6 at the
half.
In each quarter Qlare seemed to
show a little more fight and held the
score down to 1 point for Harrison
and scored 2 points for themselves in
uie third period.
At the beginning of the last period
of play, Clare made a foul shot which
gave them a^chance to w,in making
the score 10-9. Two more field baskets were made while Harrison made
one, this gave us the lead by one
point 13-12. In the remaining time
Harrison made one field goal and
Clare one free throw. This ended the
game with a -score 14-14. Glare still
holds the honors by having";, won from.|
Harrison before.
Summary and line up:
From time to time the cafeteria.at

' connection with the    Domestic    Sci--
ence department, was this week ( appreciated to the fullest extent,
During the snow storm, which has
been rasing in Clare during the week,
the wind has pilled the streets into a
almost impassible, condition and in
order that the pupils, who had long
distance to walk, and the younger
ones might stay at the building, the
patronage has been considerable
larger. Monday 88 pupils were fed;
Tuesday 140 were served and Wednesday furnished about the same patronage. '
This is both beneficial to the
scholar and me parents, as a better
meal Is served than can be done at
home for the same money. The meal
served at the cafeteria consists of
potatoes, -gravy, buttered buns, fruit,
either pineapple or peaches, coffee,
milk or cocoa, and cookies can be had,
for 15c to 18c.

1816 HAD NO SUMMER.
St. Louis Post Dispatch     '
The year 1810 was known throughout
the "United. States as the year without
a- summer. . January of that -year was
so mild that most people -would have
let their furnaces go out had they
possessed any, and February Was only
occasionally colder, March and April
coaxed the buds and flowers out, and
May was a winter month with ice and
snow. By the end of May everything,
perishable had been killed by the cold,
and the young leaves striped from the
trees, June was as cold as May. Both
snow and ice were common throughout the month all over the corn belt,
and" after having planted corn two or
three times the farmers threw up
tneir hands. Snow fell ten inches
deep in Vermont.

Pointing out that the. germination
quality of imported clover seed is not
the issue involved in warnings which
have been sent out over Micigan calling attention of state farmers to the
danger of planting foreign seed, Prot.
J. F. Cox, head of the farm crops department at the Michigan Agricultural College, this Week repeated his
suggestion that growers make sure of
their seed supply in view of the great
volume of imported seed reaching the
country 'this year.
"The market report of the Toledo
Produce Exchange for Jan. 23 ahd
quoted articles appearing in print in
Michlgau, state that a large amount of
foreign clover seed has been Im-
ported^and shipped to the Toledo market, and delivered on contract", says
Professor Cox. "This report further
states that much has recently been
printed and talked relative to the poor
germinating qualities of this seed,
and printed results are offered of germination tests which'" show the germination qualities of the imported
ed seed are excellent.
"As a matter of fact, it is not the
germination of imported seed whicn
is questioned by Experiment Stations
and clover growers, but the ability of
imported-seed from Italy to produce
a crop under Michigan and 'corn
belt' state conditions.
"Imported seed from England
northern Europe, and France is adapted to growing in Michigan if native seed is not available, but as a class
imported seed is not dependable, because cheap and unadapted seed from
Italy loses its identity on our market.
It lias been reported by the United
States Department of . Agriculture
that at least 200,000 pounds of this
imported seed from 'othet' countries
is apparently Italian seed, shipped to
•France or other countries, and reship-
ped. *      '    '
"In tests at the Michigan Experiment Station, native grown, Michigan seed is shown to be best for
Michigan. Next to our own seed, red
clover seed from other northern states
and the corn-belt gives best results.
Michigan farmers will do well to deal
with dependable Michigan clover seed
dealers, who handle Michigan- grown
or northern grown, domestic red
clover. If this is not available in sufficient quantity, attention is directed
to the fact that there is a good supply
of alsike, at relatively cheap prices,
and also a large supply of dotnestic
alfalfa seed from the northwest, selling cheaper than red eloVer.
"Sweet clover is available in quantity at very reasonable rates and takes
the same place in the rotation as red
cioy'er. These crops are much more
dependable than red clover deed of
unknown origin. Soybeans, field
peas, and winter vetch, are also; crogs
which can be used in furnishing large
yields of leguminous forage, in case
of clover failures or a shortage of
good seed. /
"The competition" of cheap' and often unadapted and inferior imported
'clover seed has retarded production
of more dependable red clover in the
producing areas of the United States.
With thi3 undesirable competition removed we could easily supply home
'demands with domestic seed in a very
short time^-much to the benefit of the
clover growers and of th0 clover seed
trade.'*

Clare Boys Hold Harrison to 5 Points
Clare's unusual form of defense
showed Harrison that it was not such
an easy job to score as they thot.
Had Clare played their offense as
strongly as they did their defense.
Harrison would have been beaten by
a large margin.
During the first half not a • point
was made for either team. Only a few
shots were allowed and those from
about the center of the floor. Our
boys showed a real fighting spirit and
kept their men well covered.
In the early part of the third quarter Clare showed up a little and allowed a few shots from the side. Stanley
Land Rollin each made a field gbai
after which Clare tightened down
again and kept the opponents from
scoring any more field goals. A num
ber of personal fouls were made but
we succeeded in getting only 2 and
scored one point. The game ended
with the score 5-1 in favor of Harrison. It.was no easy matter for
them to m.ake their score, They
knew they had played a real game,

boys and girls play Marion here. The
girls will have another hard game but
no doubt they will .win. If the boys
play as well in the game as they do
in practice they should make it rather interesting.
The girls team from.Marion is very
strong even better than Harrison. It
Will be about the hardest gams of tne
season. But our girls are real fighters and with lots of-backing they are
sure to keep the green and white still
in the lead.

The Capital Mutual Insurance Company, a Michigan organization with
headquarters in Lansing, formerly
known as the All-rodded State Mutal '
Fire Insurance Co. has been placed in
the hands of a receiver according to
article printed in Detroit Free Press
of January 30th. This article goes on
to state that L. T. Hands, state Insurance Commissioner, was appointed
receiver by the Ingham Circuit Court.
An Isabella cbunty farmer, residing
in Wise township, who is one of the
policy-holders in this company, called in at our office last Saturday and
showed us a letter from the state Insurance Commissioner. This letter
stated that his policy was being cancelled, to become effective "at noon
February 10th. After which date the
Company would, not be liable for loss
or damage to the property carried
under said policy. Not wishing to be
without protection this farmer immediately placed his insurance with
us. Since then several others have
called in at our office and- explained
that they were in a -like predicament.
We are taking care of them as fast as
we can get to them.
This article is being published for
the benefit of all those who find that
they are going to be without insurance after February 10th. It is also
for the benefit of those that may be
dissatisfied with their present insurance and wish to make a change.
We represent the Aetna insurance
Company, one of the, very strongest
of Old Line Stock Company Organizations. Their policies are absolutely not assessable. You know exactly What you have to pay and you

pay each year. The latter plan is
proving the more popular.
