MRS. EMILY RUSSELL
DIESJUDDENLY
Body Found by Neighbors
A Few Hours After
Death  Had Gome.
Miss -Emily Love was born July, 10,
1841, in Lycoming county, Penn., the
■daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Jacob Love.
She was married to Mr. .Edwin Russell June 6, 1573. To this unidn three
children were born: Mary Anna, Eld-
win Lovell, and Joseph Adrain. In
-the death of the latter on March 25,
1904, the first break was made in the
family circle.
Following their marriage Mr. and
Mrs. Russell resided m Saginaw until
1879 when they moved to Isabella
•county on their farm in Vernon township. After years of arduous toil and
faithfulness of pioneer life they moved to Clare in«1911 to enjoy a well
earned rest together and pass the evening of their life. On March 23, 1920.
Mr. Russell was called from this life.
Mrs. Russell has apparently enjoyed
good health and her sudden passing
from what was adjudged heart fail-
•are early Thursday morning, July 10,
came as a shock to the communitj.
Singular enough this was her 83rd
birthday.
Those who mourn their loss are the
daughter, Mrs. Henry Robinson, .of
Oentralia, Wash.; and the son, Edwin,
of Vernon township; five grand chil-
•dren and -five great grandchildren;
also three sisters, one in Saginaw, one
in Penn., and one in Washington. A
large circle 'of friends revere the memory of one who was a faithful wife, a
•loving mother and a kind neignoor.
The funeral service was held at the
■Baptist church Sunday afternoon and
the large congregation present listen-
ted to a solemn discourse from the
pastor, using as a text, "Therefore be
ye also ready, for in such an hour as
ye think not the son of Man cometh."
Interment was made in Cherry Grove
■cemetery.

Furniture  for   New  Library is
Here—Plans for Work Are
Ready.
If!? The Library Association is glad to
'"*■" report that furniture for the new library has arrived. In fact it has been
coming piece-meal for some time.
. " Mr. Chamberlain, of Detroit, is expected next week to install the fixtures and Mr. Walter Pettit, of Clare,
has been engaged to assist him in
this work.
For some time #hose who were actively engaged in carrying this project
forward have not been working but as
soon as the room is ready Mrs. Bicknell has plans in detail for pushing the
work.
We wish to thank Mr. McAllister
for it is through him that most of the
correspondence relative to furniture
and fixtures has been done. His advice and help has been furnished
' gratis and is greatly appreciated by
the Library Association.
We hope to have a further repor'
soon as people are interested and inquiring all of wnieh is very normal
and gratifying.
M. W. M., Chairman Publicity Com
More general application of the
•'nicotine dust" system of killing
'cucumber beetles and lice, which are
said to cause a considerable decrease
in the yield of pickles, melons, ahd
squash, is the objective of a campaign
which is being conducted this summer
by the horticultural section of th-2
Michigan Agricultural ,College exten
sion staff in most of the counties in
the state where pickles and melons
are grown.
The deadliness of the "nicotine
dust" method—a 90 per cent killing
ability being claimed for it,—the
short time required to kill the insects
after "dusting", and the economy ol
the new method, which kills by contact and does not depend on the eating
of more plant tissue and consequent
injury of the plant before the consumption of enough poison to cause
death, are all pointed to as superioi
qualities of the new method.
Tlie material should be applied bj
a hand duster, declares H. A. Card
inell, M. A. C. extension specialist ir
horticulture, who is in charge of the
campaign. These machines, which art
available at prices of from one to
twenty-five dollars, protect the foliage
of the plants from "under feeding" as
the dust is applied with such force
that both sides ot the leaves are coated.
While application during the hot,
calm days of midsummer is said to be
the most effective as the heat liberates the nicotine fumes more rapidly
and causes a quick kill, the dusting
should not be postponed until favorable weather conditions when severe
attacks of the insects occur, Mr. Card-
inell urges. ''When the beetles are
doing great damage, it is best to dust
the plants even though it may be
rainy, cold or windy, or a combination of such weather conditions," he
says. "A large funnel may be placed
over the outlet tube and excelleut
work may be done during wind or rain
and ten acres per day dusted. Without the cone attachment, fifteen tc
twenty-five acres per day may he
auirted with a good handduster."
CLARE
DIES AT DETROIT
NOW CALL IT OVERLAND
COUPE-SEDAN
In January, 1923, Willys-Overland introduced to the motoring public a new
type of body design on its Willys-
Knight chassis.
The" body, hailed as a decided innovation in motordom, being neither a
coach, coupe nor sedan, also introduced a novelty in motor car nomenclature-—the Coupe-Sedan.
Since then the popularity of both the
uhusual car and its name have been
-Wide spread.
Desirous of capitalizing further on
this distinctive trade name Willys-
Overland announces that in future its
Overland Champion will be known as
the Overland CoUpe-Sedan, inasmuch
a*s it contains practically all of the
characteristics of design and ...con-
SWuction that distinguish the Willys-
Knight Coupe-Sedan, plus a marked
versatility that enables It to be put to
a, diversity of uses.

MUSIC AND THE TEN
MILLIONTH FORD
Now Making Merry Along
the.Lincoln Highway from
New York to San Francisco.
SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC TODAY.
If it were possible to reproduce all
the selections that have greeted the
car so far on its eventful trip from
f-Jew York tp SanBrancisco, the world
would be given a phonographic record
which would malee the modern jazz
orchestra green with envy, according
to accounts of the tour. There would
be recorded a great medley of airs,
produced by a big variety of instru
ments and punctuated by frequent
bursts of song, continual honking of
auto horns and blasts of factory
whistles.
Never before has there been so
nuch music along the great national
.•oadway which connects the Bast and
West coasts as has characterized the
journey of the Ten Millionth' Ford.
Tliere have oeen parades and receptions with large bands, small bandP
.nd even orchestras. Men's bands,
bave wylicipated in greeting the car
it various" places. Scotch bag pipers
were a feature along part of the route.
Buglers announced the coming of the
car in some towns and in one little
city a group of pretty girls riding on
a float heralded its advent with horns.
Even calliopes have at different pointy
idded their familiar notes to the welcome.
Numbers rendered    have    included
everything from  the inspiring tones
of patriotic airs and the ever appealing swing of the march to the latest
popular Jazz fancies and a reversion
to the more intimate tune of    "The|
Little Old Ford Rambled Right Along.' ■
~Now traversing the greatest stret-.
ches of the western part of the coun-|
try through Nebraska, Wyoming and
Utah and maintaining   its    schedule
with characteristic Ford performance,
the car which is telling the interesting
story of the production of ten million
transportation units by the Ford Motor Company, is n oviug steadily on toward the Pacific coast with  enthusiastic and picturesque welcomes at every point along the route.

DANCE.
CAME TO VERNON
INYEAR 1867
J a m e s     O'Grady      Was
Among First to Settle in
This   Vicinity.

ary, Ireland, 86' year's ago. In the
year 1852 he came to Canada and
moved to Illinois in 1865. Two years'
later he came to Michigan and located

this union one daughter, Mayme, was
born.
He was again married in 1891 to
Miss Catherine O'Boyle, who'together
with his daughter, Miss Mayme, survive him. He moved from his farm
to Clare eighteen years ago and has
since lived in our miost.
Mr. O'Grady, during the early years
as a resident in Vernon, suffered the
hardships of an early settler's life,
having to carry his groceries and
other provisions from Mt. Pleasant'
and later an ox team was used, requiring a day each way for the trip.
He knew what is was to clear new
land and prepare for the first crops,.
but steadily the effects of his efforts
fcecame known and other -Settlers
moved in and clearedland until today
the soil is considered among the best
of the state.
The funeral was held from the St.
Cecelia church Wednesday morning.
July 9th, conducted by Father Flanagan and interment made in the

WELCOME SIGNS
ERECTED ON STATE
TRUNKLINES
Greetings to Visitors Placed
on Four Main Roads
Leading to City.
The publicity committee of the
Clare Chamber of Commerce recently
placed on the four mam roads leading
into Clare sign boards welcoming vis
itors to our city. On the opposite
side, which can only be seen as they
leave Clare, is a "Goodbye and Good
Luck" remembrance they carry witb
them after a sojourn In our midst.
The signs are 8x12 feet and neatly
painted in red, white and blue with
lettering large enough to be plainly
seen. These signs were caused to be
built by the City Council and Mayor
working in co-operation with the
Chamber of Commerce, the painting
being done by C. F. Haller and which
is a credit to both himself and the
city.
This is a worth while step for the
city to take as it advertises our pure
water, free camping grounds and the
other, advantages the city has over
other places the tourist passes through
and makes him feel that this is the
place for him to stop for the night at
least.

SCHOOL WITH A BIBLE
School Without Good Book Was
Shock to State Education
Board   Head.
Every school in the state of Michigan must be provided with a bible before it reopens again this fall, if the
word or command of Thomas E, Johnson, State Superintendent of Public instruction, is carried out, school
officials throughout the state having
received a letter from Mr, Johnson
last week which read "Do not allow
your school to reopen without having
available a copy of the bible."
The letter further stated that Mr.
Johnson recently visited a school and?
asked to see a copy of the b-.ble and;
the teacher was unable to produce the
good book. So far as that particular
school was concerned no bible had
ever been kept and the state educator horrified at such a godless condition among the growing children,,
promptly decided that it was high-
time that a bible be placed near
enough at hand so that it would be
convenient as a reference in case
anyone should want to refer to it—
