UNDIMMED LIGHTS
CAUSE OF COLLISION
John    Dionise    Figures   in
Two Auto Accidents Near
Rosebush Sunday Night.
  i
While returning to Clare Sunday
night from Alma with a truck load of
fruit John Dionise narrowly escaped
being seriously injured when he figured in two auto accidents' within a
short distance.
His first accident occurred at Rosebush when he met an auto which, he
states, would not dim their lights and
the result was that he could not tell
how near the side of the road he was
and slowed down, but in spite of this
a collision of fenders resulted. He
went a short distance and stopped
but seeing that the other car had gone
on he continued on his way home, but
had not gone far when he noticed
that in the collision something jarred
loose on his battery as it was considerably weaker and not producing
much light. Mr. Dionise states that
he continued his way at a slow speed,
but noticed a large car coming toward him with strong lights and at a
great speed. Fearing that the oncoming auto would not see his lights
he*-* turned to the side'of the road, but
too far, as the lights blinded him, and
the result was his car turned*over ai
the ditch, but luckily he escaped uninjured.
Aside from a broken rear wheel, his
truck was undamaged.
The other car dm not stop. ,
A REMEMBRANCE
TO MY FRIENDS
J. L. Littlefield, of Farwell,
Writes  Contrast dt Fifty
Years Ago and Present   -
Day.
If I may be permitted to do so, 1
wish to call to the remembrance of my
old friends of Clare"county and northern Michigan, of forty and fifty years
ago, some of the things we saw here
in those.days. I also desire to remind
the boys and girls of this present
generation, and place before their
mind's eye, a picture of the wonderful
forest resources, of unbounded wealth
and beauty, that was spread all over
northern Michigan in those days, arid
then to draw the contrast, and have
them see, and understand what de-.
struction has taken place, where once
stood beautiful forests of pine, hemlock and hardwoods, are now blackened wastes, of thousands of acres of
barren lands, and will always remain
so unless something is done to reforest them with their 111 native
trees.
I wish too, to call to the attention
of our congressmen, our law makers,
those men whom we, the people, send
to our legislative halls, to enact laws
for the good and betterment of the
people, that it is their duty, instead
of spending their time wrangling over
partisan questions, and one party trying to frame up something to down
the other party, to do some constructive legislation, to look back home and
see what they can £0 for the good of
the people, to look into the future and
plan wise legislation that Avill be for
the benefit and welfare of future generations, I believe, and I think a majority of my readers will agree with
me, that one of the most needed
pieces of legislation, our congressmen and state legislators should enact is a law, or laws, that will take
immediate action to restore, by pla*5t-
ing and reforesting, a large area of the
barren lands of Northern Michigan.
To enact such laws that the individu
al or the corporation, who desire to
engage in forestry, may be protected
by just and reasonable taxation;
against destrdction by fire, and from
being robbed by the tribe of Christmas tree bandits.       '
Fifty two years ago last August 1
name to Northern Michigan from the
south, part of the state. I came into
Clare county, which was then in the
heart of the white pine forests of
Michigan. White pine, the crowning
glory of the forests of North America,
was then standing, in all its beauty
and grandeur, nearly all over v Clare
county and adjoining counties. Some
of the townships in Clare county were
estimated to be the heaviest timbered, of any in the.state. As we walked

Tenth Congressional Convention
of Republicans Held at Bay
City Tuesday.    '
i^ast Friday at the Mt. Pleasant.
Normal, Mr. Proctor, the only living
member of four hundred sixty six
delegates who nominated Abrabram
Lincoln, gave a fine 'lecture on the
National Convention of eighteen sixty.
"Most of the delegates were in favor of Seward. They were assembled
the second day to commence the ballot for president, when a message
came that a group of Unionists from
the border wished to speak to them.
In came a group of sturdy Scotch-
Irishmen. The 'leader came forward
and told them that the South was
preparing foY war and they must elect
Abraham Lincoln if they expected
tljem to help to unite the Union.
"Lincoln was elected,' but, thirty-
nine days after, came the opening of
the Civil War. The Union submerged into one great cry, "God preserve
this republic!"
"Finally, the Clouds rolled back and
revealed Appomatox. Lee had surrendered his entire army to Grant.
There was great joy then, but the
clouds roiled back into place again
when President Lincoln was assas-' ^ TREAT IN STORE FOR REO
inated, He had preserved this re-'
public.    •
Mr. Proctor was the youngest member of the delegate. Although he is
now eighty-six years old, he . is still
able to transport his audience to the
Wigwam at Chicago as our two delegates, Miss Reva Derby and Miss
Katherine Osborn testified.      .

•The Tenth Congressional District
republican convention was held at the
City Hall in Bay City on Tuesday evening and was called to order by Hon.
James E. Davidson, of Bay City, the
recently elected National Committeeman from Michigan. Mr. Davidson
was made Chairman of the convention
and Mrs. Winnifred Dudd, of Midland, was elected Secretary. The
business of this convention was to
elect delegates to the National Republican convention to be held in
Cleveland, Ohio in June. Delegates
elected v/ere *E. T. McCall, of Mt.
Pleasant; .W J. Clemens, of Bay City;
Joseph F. Bowler,, of Clare, and
George A. Prescott, of Tawas. The

John K. Brower, of Big Rapids, for
State Treasurer and' President Coolidge was commended.
A; good attendance of Study Club
members met at the home of Mrs,
McKnight April 29. After the regular form of business meeting, Mrs.
Anderson introduced Miss Marie Com...
stock, of Alpena, who gave a splendid talk introducing many new ideas
of "Broader Education.'" Miss Corn-
stock is president of the Northeast
District of Women's Clubs. She is a
very interesting speaker and gave r
very pleasing and instructive narration
of what other clubs are "doing and
what she hoped the Clare Club would
do in different branches of work* 'but
especially  the   Community  Service.
Mrs. Smith, past pres. of Bay City
was then introduced and she also
proved her ability of handling the subject, "Different Departments of Gen
eral Club Work." She emphatically
urges women who are club members
and also those who are not, to cooperate with activities of the state.
She was disappointed that there were
no Sign boards to direct tourists to
our little city and said she hoped that
before she came here again she would
see these signs thru the state. Mrs.
Wilson, who always knows just how to
get out of a difficulty in a clever manner, arose to the occasion and gave
out the information that Clare affords
a very good Chamber af Commerce
and thru their escorts, we are to have
these signs soon. She said that perhaps the reason it had been neglected
so long was because of the fact that
Clare is such a popular and thriving
little city we thot of course, everyone
in Michigan knew its location.
Mrs. Lena Reading sang two beauti
ful songs and Mrs. McGuire accom
panied at the piano.
Mrs. Allen who was chosen as a
delegate to attend the. Federation in
May will he unable to attend so Mrs.
Mabel Horton will go in her stead.
Mrs. Lena Reading -was -'elected al
ternate.
Mesdames Mulder, McGuire and,
McAllister sang a trio and as usual,
this  talent  was   greatly  appreciated
After discussions upon the topics
of interest for the day, a committee
served ice cream and cake. Club
then adjourned.

Mothers' Day Proclamation.
BY THE GOVERNOR
t
Custom has decreed that once each year a day shall be set apart
from all others especially for observance as Mothers' Day. The plan
was brought forth So that every person might give more than ordinary
attention to Mothers, so that we might show to her our deepest appreciation of her sacrifice, devotion, guidance and loving care.
In the jush and swirl of present day affairs and business one is inclined to forget for the moment the determination of Mother that we
should have the blessings of life that she'did not enjoy, and that to
bring about the realization of her ambition it deprived herofthevery
happiness. She sought to bestow upon us.. It has been this motherhood
ideal that has raised the standard of Anierican citizenship to its present exalted place. ' j
In every home/no matter how elegant or humble, that same mother devotion ahd sacrifice has always existed and always will. If mother
love ruled the .world there would be no conflicts, no destruction of human life because of greed, no sorrow- hecause of unrighteous designs.
Every day should he Mothers' Day, with possibly a little greater
manifestation upon Mothers' Day-of our appreciation because of her
sacrifice and devotion. .
By virtue of the authority .vested in me as Governor of the State'
Of Michigan, I do hereby designate and      proclaim      Sunday,      May
eleventh, 194, as Mothers' Day, and I call upon our people, beta old and
young to gather in their several jp!aces of worship and take part in services appropriate to the day,
And iet absent Sons and daughters take this occasion to visit the
mother in the old home, or, where such a Visit is impossible, let them
send a message of cheer and greeting. .        „
In accordance with a resolution of the.Congress of   the   United
States, I further, request the people of Michigan on the day   aforesaid '
