Rousing Meeting and  Banquet Held at Hotel Doh-
berty Tuesday Evening*.
MEMBERS OF HARRISON
ORGANIZATION ALSO PRESENT
Plans Laid to Promote. the Advantages that* Clare County
Offers to the Tourist.
BENEFIT CONCERT
A BIG SUCCESS
A goodly number of the members
of the Clare Chamber of Commerce
attended the meeting Tuesday evening.
Luncheon was served in the dining
room of the Doherty Hotel and representatives of the Harrison Chamber
of Commerce were guests. Grants
and Ryon orchestra of Saginaw played during the serving of the luncheon.
A very interesting and instructive address was delivered by Prof. "vT". H.
Pearce, instructor in mathematics at
Central Normal College and Mayor
of Mt. Pleasant. Mr. Pearce spoke on
the subject of "Arithmetic". He said,
"Nearly everything with which man
has to do is pretty much a question ot
Arithmetic. We are always asking
the question of how much it costs.
Most people have the wrong idea ot
takes, they seem to think they are a
sort of penalty. We cannot educate
our own children and we cannot successfully build roads each one for
•himself, so we put our money into a
co-operative fund and have schools
and build roads and make other improvements and get more value for
our money than from any other money
we spend. The second question is,
how much do we save? We should encourage thrift. The home owner is
not a menace, but those who have no
home and never save anything-are a
menace to any community. How
much are you? Are you clean, upright and honest. There are men who,
when they get together, seem to desire
to see how many foul stories they ear.
tell. Another question in arithmetic
is, How many? 'How many friends?
How many good deeds? How many
times have you gone to the man who
is discouraged and downhearted'and
placing your hand on his shoulder, encouraged him to take a new start and
a new grip on life. There is so much
co-operative Bpirlt needed in the
world today. Instead of fighting each
other and trying to get- ahead at the
other fellow expense, we should wor-*>
together for the common good of all."
__f-he close of Mr. Pearce's address,
the question of a county wide resort
advertising campaign -was discussed.
A number of good suggestions werq
offered and on motion a committee,
was appointed from the - Clare and
Harri-on organizations to work out
some kind of a plan to finance the
making of a map of Clare county
which will show all the lakes and
streams together with the roads
leading, to them. It was the general
opinion of all present that this was
the best meeting held so far during
the entire year.

Many Cases Already Tried
and Convictions Obtained.
THE CAPTURE OF A
DANGEROUS CRIMINAL
The Citizens oi This  City Will
Be Given a Sight of a Mali--
cious Foe.
Mr. A. E. Achard, the well known
■local insurance man, recently assisted in the capture of a dangerous criminal who long has been troubling the
autonxobile owners of this vicinity.
For some time it has been suspected that more than mere accident was
involved in the fires, collisions, robberies and other disasters that have
interfered so seriously with the pleasure bf the motorists and the business
•of commericial car owners. Many
-.students of the subject have felt convinced that these things were the
work of a malicious influence—of an
Autojinx, in fact, and many ingenious
traps have been made to capture him
a.t nis diabolical work.
Heretofore, all these efforts have
been unsuccessful, for the Autojinx
was too clever and too sWift to be
taken by surprise Nevertheless, patience at last has been rewarded and
, Mr. A. E. Achard and his colleagues
actually have succeeeded in capturing the miscreant red-handed and in
showing exactly how he works. He
will be exhibited—as an added attraction—during the regular feature
program at the Princess Theatre during the week of October 5th.to 12th
in a special film of his own entitled
•THE AUTOJINX." Adv.
The adjourned session of the Circuit
Court-for the county of Clare convened at Harrison Monday with many
cases on the calendar to be disposed
of.
In the case of the People vs. Wm.
Krahn and Godfrey Klann for violation of the liquor law, both were convicted.
The case of The People vs. T. W.
Michael charged and convicted by a
jury in Judge Callihan's court recently and sentenced to pay a fine of $100
and serve 90 days in the county jail,
was thrown out of court on motion or
the defendent's attorneys that his
constitutional rights were violated by
being forced to be tried by a jury
against his election.
Harold Griffin was found guilty of
the violation of the liquor law in having liquor on his person.
Orr Campbell, charged with assault
and battery with the intent of committing the crime of rape, was found
guilty.
In the case of The People vs. Lyle
Bennett, the defendent was found
guilty of breaking and entering.
George Griffin, charged with violation of the liquor larw, was acquitted
of having liquor on his person.
The case of The People vs. Frank
Burns was dismissed on motion of the
Prosecuting Attorney on account'of
the lack of evidence for the People.
Sentences will be passed by Judge
Hart at the termination of court.
As we go to press the court has
gradually reduced the number of
criminal cases from eleven to four.

having perfect attendance. Twenty-
six of the little tots have been neither absent nor tardy. In addition to

to giving the attendance report we will
also conduct a school news column

said concerning the activities in their

worth while. •*

PRINCESS THEATRE
NEAR1NG COMPLETION
Proprietor John Asline Planning
to Give People of This  Vicinity    a    First     Class
Amusement House.
SHOT GUN shell3   at   the   Racket,
good quality and attractive prices.
47tf.
During the past two months the
Princess Theatre has been undergoing
a complete remodeling throughout.
The'old front has been torn away and
a new one with better entrance and'
exit placed instead.
The operating room has been
brought forward over the lobby and
built entirely fireproof and reinforced at all corners. Two machines now
are installed eliminating any waste
of time between films. - These machines are motor driven, which gives
the picture a steadiness on the screen
that cannot be procured when operated by hand. i""
Instead of the main floor \ being
elevated in order to give'the patrons
a full view of the picture, it has been
lowered, which serves for the "purpose much better, and gives more
seating capacity. New seats for this
space will be installed in the near
future.
Mr. Asline is putting forth every
effort to give the people of Clare and
vicinity a first class amusement house
and has booked for the near future
many of the- super-specials that are
now appearing in the-large cities including the "White Sisters", the
"Covered Wagon", and "Scaremouch"
The remodeling throughout has
been made in accord with the laws of
Michigan Underwriters and of the
Fire Marshall law of Moving Picture
Shows and the people can well feel
proud that we have a place where
they can invite their friends for a
clean evening's entertainment.

Mrs, Irene Cooper of Harrison, 66
years old, was instantly killed and
five members of her family were injured about 5 o'clock Monday morning
on the Dixie highway near the junction of the Birch Run road when the .
Ford touring car driven by her son- <•.
in-law, Edson Wood of Harris"bn, figured in a collision with a Ford truck
driven by Henry Nelson,-colored, 98-8
Ghenelot street, Detroit, and was bud-
sequently struck by a Cole touring car
driven by Henry Gregory of Detroit,
also colored, owner of the truck driven
by Nelson.
The. injured, who were taken to the
Mt. Morris hospital are:
Edson Wood, 35, son-in-law of Mrs.
Cooper, one arm broken and back
wrenched,
Mrs. Edson Wood, his wife badly
bruised and stocked.
Olin Wood, 6-year-old son of the
Woods, minor head injuries.
Arleta, 4-year-old daughter of the
Woods, badly bruised.
Olin Cooper, husband of the dead
woman, bruised, not seriously hurt.
Drivers Blame Each Other
Each Wood and Nelson blamed the
other for the accident, according to
Undersheriff John G. Rondo, who, with
Coroner J. Henri Riopelle, was called
to the scene of the accident.
Wood's car was practically demolished, while the truck was damaged
on the left front side, indicating that
the truck ran intp the _touring car.
Wood was driving north, having left
Detroit .at 2 o'clock Monday morning •
for Harrison, while Nelson was driving south, headed toward Flint.*-
The force of the original collision
turned the Wood car over in the roaa
and Gregory, who was following the
truck was unable to avoid crashing
into it, smashing the windshield of
his car.
W/ood told Undersheriff Rondo that
he saw the truck approaching ana
tried to avoid the collision. Nelson
said that as the Wood car approacn;
ed it edged toward the middle of the
road, and expressed the opinion that
the riyer was drowsy or falling asleep.
He said he drove his truck off the
edge of the payment in an effort to,
avoid the collision, _.« j
Riopelle to Hold Inquest
Undersheriff Rondo, after question"*
ing them, allowed Nelson and Gregory
to continue on their way. Both said
they Would return to Saginaw if requested for further examination. Both
in fact, talked of a civil action to recover for damages to the truck.
Coroner Riopple decided to call an
inquest, but has not set the time or
place.      . """-

CATHOLICS ARE CHALLENGED
To Prove the Doctrines of Their Church.
We hear or read this often these days. Sometimes it comes from
those who make a profession and livelihood from this kind of work, but
it often comes from those who are honest and sincere in their opposition
to the Catholic Church because they have believed what they have heard
from the enemies of the Catholic Church.
A man owes it to himself to assert the truth when his fellowmen quite
honestly believe something of him that is untrue and-injurious to his character. A man owes it to his neighbor to set him aright when he sees that
neighbor unknowingly doing himself and' the community much harm by
the false opinions he holds of his fellowmen. Lastly, a man owes it to his
conscience and his God to declare the truth whether he likes it or not.
So much has been said and published about the Catholic Church in this
community that Is untrue that Catholics feel they are in duty bound to set
forth in the public press just what they do believe and what they do not.
For this purpose a Catholic Information Bureau has been formed. We
shall take up various doctrines oiCatholic belief explaining just what
the Church means by them and giving the reasons. Our purpose is nowise
controversial. In fact we shall refuse to be drawn into any religious dispute
or controversy. Our sole purpose is to set forth the doctrines of the
Catholic Church so that our fellowmen may know what we actually do believe and what we do not.
"""""'Some may like to have- a further* explanation than our published articles. Any question you may, like to have answered can be directed to the
Catholic Information Bureau, Clare. Mich., and will be answered by mail.
No names will be published but held In strict confidence.
Our aim is to make for a friendlier spirit in our community through a
better understanding of what we, as Catholics, believe and do.
