CLARE COUNTY WATER DISCUSSED
IAGINAW COUNCILMEN
Proposition of Pjping Spring
Water of This County to
-.._ That   City   Favorably
Received.
. H. CAPIE, OF-
CURE, IS ORIGINATOR OF
Water to be Secured From Underground Supply in Sheridan Township.
RETTY WEDDING
OCCURS LAST SUNDAY
"The results of a worthy effort" can
rightly be applied to those put forth
for the past two years by Wm.. H.
Caple, of this city, by the citizens of
. Saginaw if his idea terminates in supplying them with pure crystal spring
water by piping same to their mains.
Por Mr. Caple, the road has been
long and tedious and requiring many
hours of study. The idea was first
conceived by him when he discovered
the enormous supply of spring water
from an underground current at his
ranch in Sheridan. Since that time
he has mado a thorough study from
all points and* finauy interested the
Layne-Bowler Chicago Co., which is a
subsidiary of the Layne-Bowler Memphis Co., who are considered the largest
water developers in the world, to the
extent that since last November they
have sent their experts here at different times to investigate. Samples
p£ the water were taken to the Central
Laboratory, at Saginaw and found to
be absolutely pure and fit to be utilized for either domestic or boiler use.
He laid his plans before E. F. "Wilson
and other influencial men of Saginaw,
with the result that they were heartily in favor of his plan. Last week
Mr. "Wilson took, the proposition • he-
fore the Saginaw Council and was
well received.
At the first investigation made by
the experts it was announced that
sufficient water was in-1 store to more
than supply Saginaw and Midland,
hut at the present time the Layne-
Bewler Co. have started test wells to
determine exactly the supply 'that
can be obtained before they place a
■ proposition before the Saginaw people.
These "tests are being made within a
radius of five or six miles, hut so far
anywhere a pipe is put down an enormous flow is found.
Mr. Caple states that the Chicago
company proposes the construction
of a 2,000,000-gallon container at this
end of the line and another ' of the
same size at Sagiiaaw. This, it is
stated, would reduce the cost of the
pipe line and yet supply sufficient
water, and the fact that tiiere is approximately 200 feet fall between the
proposed wells and Saginaw will save
that city a big item in annual maintenance.
Mr. Wilson, who has for years been
an ardent worker for pure water for
Saginaw, has already begun negotiations with the Pere Marquette railroad officials for the fight of way
through their property as the source
of supply is located only two mjles
from their line.
People of Clare who visit Saginaw
will be glad to testify to the quality
of water they enjoy here and hope to
see the time when they travel to that
city and still drink the pure water
they have at home.
The cost of the project will he approximately §4,000,000, but the corn-
pany will guarantee the supply and
-give a Surety bond covering all construction work for one year from the
time the water is turned into the
Saginaw mains.
It is our opinion that if Saginaw and
Midland citizens could obtain our
water they could well afford to pay
• twice the proposed amount, if necessary,- than attempting tof use any
other class of water.

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)
Now Mr, Citizen* I am coming to the
part that is to be of Interest to voters
at next 'election.
1917 and 1918 thousands of the best
manhood in the country had enlisted
or awaited the-draft into the army and
navy driven there by the loyal blood
that flowed in their veins, kindled by
the -sentiment of the press thruout the
country.
"The Government at once set their
wage at $30 per month speaking of the
buck privates which rank was held by
the big majority in khaki and blue.
Many great and wealthy men, in the.
public's eye(/made themselves famous
at the time offering their 'services to
the country for ?1.00 per year and it
is of these I am writing for they are
among those prominent in opposing
our soldier bill.
The war was fought and*' brought to
an abrupt end on Nov, 11, 1918. Now
let's see what happens. Troups came
flocking home bringing with them
many a grievance realizing that they
had gotten, by. far, the short end of
the deal. ■ Why??
Because we had been forced to take,
as our full month's pay in our new
line of' business, ?30.00 while the
Government was hiring men in shipyards, etc., etc. paying them" from
$10.00 per day upwards to thousands
of dollars per year.
Farmers 'got high prices for their
produce; merchants got big prices for
their goods; manufacturers raised on
their commodities, and prosperty
seemed limitless.
But the end came. Laborers found
that from their large salaries they
had but little left.   Why?
Merchants and "manufacturers
claimed likewise why? Fate in the
end had dealt a cold hand for the cry
was; we are loaded with high priced
goods, or we should have sold our
beans for $15.00 per bushel or out
of ?15.00 per day income we should

FARMERS NEAR OWOSSO
PLANNING FIRE TRUCK
BIRTHDAY OF LlN-
'COLN REMEMBERED
The following article, which we clip
from the Detroit Free Press, fully de*
monStrates the possibility of famers
to Organize in order to give themselves a considerable amount of "fire
protection.
Farmers within a radius of
seven miles of Owosso will meet
here Friday night to form an
organization for the purchase of
a chemical fire truck to answer
all fire calls from the country. The
city of Owosso will maintain and
man the truck if the plan goes
through." ■
This idea is the same as the Clare
Fire Department has been trying to
induce the farmers in the vicinity ot
Clare to do and'to which so many
have expressed themselves in favor.
But this should not be the end of it.
It will take some action—somebody
to solicit every farmer in their vicinity. ' t
• The members of the fire department
have gone as^far as they can. The
city council "has given permission for
the use of the two large chemical
tanks which cost the city ?800. The
firemen are willing to donate their
time for the Building of the truck and
the mounting of the tanks; and at
their last meeting voted to purchase
the chasis and make the initial payment, providing the farmers want the
protection and are willing to pay-for
the balance of. same and it is now up
to somebody to get busy.
If this is passed up now it'may be
considerable time before the boys can
make, the sgme offer.
Any farmer wishing further infor
mation can get it at this office or by
seeing C. A. Wellman or O. A. Derby.

EPWORTHIANS BANQUETED.

The membership contest of the Ep-
worth League came to a close when
the losing side gave a banquet to the
winning side, Wednesday evening In
the Methodist church parlors. It was
the prettiest eyent of the year for our
young folks. Young people to the
number of 56, took their places at the
prettily decorated tables. Valentines
were scattered about, and beautiful
candle stick holders of crystal and.
silver, lighted white tapers added
much to the beauty of it all. Mr.
GumSer, led in community- singing,
and we forgot he was our stern Professor. After singing, "America The
Beautiful," Mrs. Sternaman, in a few
words spoke of the delight of being
on the lad, responded to "To all the
Leagues in Michigan." Devere was .at
his best.
Mrs. Gumser added much to' the
evenings* pleasure by her delightful
songs.
The "stunts" were then' conducted
by Emma Jennings and Mr. Strait.
Judging by the noise, everyone had a
splendid time. We're sorry it is over,

Clare" Boys Upset Marion Offensive
Game
Clare's victory over Maj-ion Friday
night proved a surprise to one of the
best crowds this season. Unexpected
as it was 't proves to the fans that
basket ball, has to be played by those
on the floor using their heads, and.
not hy some one on' the bench. A
team is given the theory but they
themselves must put it into practice.
This was proven by the way the boys
played. They have been drilled just
the same from the beginning of the
season, but never before until the last
twd games have they put it into practice.
Clare played a splendid offensive
game from the tip off. Their pass work
was exceptionally good at times and
as a result kept Marion from having
possession of the ball very much of
the time.
Their defensive game was such that
Marion could not get to make any
points. When Clare got possession
of the ball they lost no time in going:
down the floor and were thru, free to
shoot before Marion had time to
think of a defense. At the half the
score was 7-4 with Clare in the lead.
With the* opening of the second half
Clare came back with a real fighting
spirit and held their ^opponents to only
one point. '•
