CLARE DEFEATED
ON GR1DR0N
Local  Boys   I ut up  Hard
Fight But Hersey'-.  Experienced Flay era Were
,Again_t Them.
Last Friday the local gridiron proteges journeyed to Hersey to participate in their first game of football,
Frank Bicknell who was ■ previously
elected captain of the squad led the
team on ,ne field and all were determined to give of their Dest.
Hersey von the toss and chose tc
receive. The Clare boys were placing against Opponents some of whom
had played together for four years.
The teams were evenly matched as
far as weight was concerned but experience soon told; and .Jersey was
marching down the field. Clare braced momentarily and held on the five
yard stripe for three downs. On a
shift plunge Hersey took the ball over
for the first score. They failed to
score the point after toucn-down.
Score at end of first quarter Hersey o
Clare 0.
-. The "'second period opened auspic
iously for Clare. Getting the ball on
the sixty yard stripe our boys started
a steady march down the field.
_. Clever plunging by Petchnick brought
the ball to Hersey's four yard mark
and it was first down. With, apparent
success in sight some of the Clare
players became over-anxious ana
crossed the line of scrimmage before
the ball was put in play and a penalty
for off-side resulted. Hersey recovered on a fumble and soon punted out
of danger. The rest of the game was
a question as to how many points
Hersey could run iip. The game finally end.d.   Hersey 25, Clare 0,
The coaches have not given up hope.
They realize that there is much to
learn in football and that only actual
cc-jnpetition can give the necessary
experience. The bright lights were
Petchnick on offence; Johnson on de-
fehce. Davy's ten yard run is also
worthy of note.
The boys are practicing daily for
the next game at Beaverton Friday,
■".'lie first home game is with Beaverton on Wednesday the twenty-second.

OUR FOLKS in THE

SUPERVISORS IN
SESSION THIS WEEK
Annual Autumn Session of
Goua.y Solona is Most -
important.
The annual October seaRlon of tne
Board of Supervisors 4s well. undei
way at the county building at Harrison this week. County uierk..Emma
Hoag has been arranging the necessary preliminaries for several weeks,
as this is the most important, meeting of the year.
It is at the October session that the
tax apportionments for the different
townships and cities in the county are
made, and naturally this is creative of
much interest, each superviso-:
watching to see that his township is
not made to carry an extra burden of
tax i£ possible.
The budget for road work in the
county is also adopted at this meeting, and. the program for the coming
year approved.
The customary amount of bills will
undoubted be on hard, but the solons
are doing their best to make it a one
week session. .
One state pride Is good; but forty-
eight state pride is better.

California's volumn of production in

comprehension. Another harvest is
being gathered. It is an enormous
yield.   Growers will benefit immense-"j

Several Clare people were seen ai
the ball gain© in Brookside park to
day. Among the thousands of people
who enjoy the game every Sunday
afternoon there were several auto
jams, but no personal casualties.
Sometimes it is the non-voter who
clamors most vociferously against the
quality of government. What righi
has a non-voter to criticirfe that which
he had no part in making? Let him
become a voter and qualify to become
a critic of governmental policies and
methods.
Mrs. Joe Reigels entertained oti
Thursday afternoon the Pasadena-
Clare pedro club, to a chicken dinner.
There, was eighteen responled. Mrs.
R. is a splendid hostess. In tw.
weeks we will meet with Mrs. Terwilliger.
Respect the flag. It is symbol 'or
all that is great and noble, worthy
and inspiring in the history of thi"
nation and in Its . life today. To
desecrate and despise-this flag is to
be untrue to America and to its
fundamental ideals. The nag is not
a fetich to be worshiped, but it is a
glorious national standard, which Inspires the people, and fhich has a
wealth of meaning in every star and
every stripe.
You seem husky enough, remarked
the house-wife coldly when, the bedraggled specimen of humanity presented itself at the door in quest of a
meal. "You should be at work." Ap.
pearances are deceitful, Madam," replied the gentlemanly tramp, bowing
gallantly. Might I add that you seem
beautiful and charming enough to be
in the motion pictures yet evidently
you prefer the simple life." After
dining heartily, he left. A little flattery goes with some.
Friday afternoon, Mrs. J. Reigels ot
Pasadena, Mrs. M. Pratt, Mrs. H
Pratt, Mrs. Torbert, of Los Angeles
Mrs Paine and daughter, of Glendale,
spent the day m Pasdena the guests or
Mrs. J. L. Oliver.
I pledge myself to vote at the coming election. But I can't vote if 1

myself to register and to make that
registration good With my * vote.

There was a show going on, a well
advertised circus. But the dwarl
wasn't .'going" at all well. People
were becoming indignant and finally
a man pushed his way up to the
manager.
Look here! he said, "this is a rank
swindle. This man isn't a dwarf
Why, he's over five feet high!" I
know, "said the manager. Tha't just
the point." What do you mean? He's
the tallest dwarf in the world.
I understand the Michigan people
who live in Pasadena, are planing to
organize a society here for the purpose of getting together oftener, ahd
enjoy the company of their home
town people, they will meet $Very two
Weeks. At a later date we will be
able to decide on location of meeting
place. Los Angeles has such a society.   Why not Pasadena?

FIREMEN ENJOY
ANOTHER
Mrs. p. A.  Derby Invite*
Boys to Supper Unbeknown to Husband.
Last Monday evening, unknown to*
her husband, who is«also a member
of the fire department, Mrs. O. A.
Derby invited the city firemen to her
home for supper.
It was a surprise and worked.fine.
Mr. Derby rode with the boys on the
fire truck about the city and even,
wrote his own invitations under the
"impression that the chief was pulling
something" but was under the impression also tnat the other firemen did.
not know what was going to happen,,
but. they did.
The trucK stopped in front of his
home and after he refused to stop
and get his supper, the boys rolled"
off and"before ho knew what was
being "pulled off" he was in his own
home, where a long table groaned un
der everything that was goo'd^j.0 eat,
topped off with chicken and warn.-
uiscuits.
Poor fellow, he did not know what
tc do After almost destroying a.
radio outfit by turning the dials the
wrong way, he came to, somewhat,
at least enough to see that the boy.--
were sitting down to their big feed
and he came along.
The firemen feel grateful to Mrs
Derby, also to Mr. Derby, for the excellent supper and entertainment.

CATTLE SWINDLE
IS FRUSTRATED
Quick Work Lands Alleged
Schemer in Jail.
One of the cleverest cattle-swindling schemes perpetrated in the;
county in some time was brought tff
light last Friday, On Thursday a*
man, introducing himself as M. Rose-
came to the Cut-rate Meat market
ancLstated that he had 14 head of.
cattle to sell. The proprietors of the
market, Mindel & Whitney, went out
to the farm and looked the cattle over*
The price quoted was very reasonable
and they paid ?20 down.
The supposed owner hired three
men and they brought the cattle to>
town and two were butchered. Ont
Friday Raymond McConnell, Rose-bush, came to town and claimed the
cattle from the market owners."* He
proved that the cattle were his and
twelve were returned to him.
M. Rose in the meantime had taker*,
his check for ?480 purchased a car at:
the Battle garage, and "flew the;
coop." Sheriff Parm Landon immed>-
iately got on the trail of the man?
and located him in a garage at Clare.
M. Rose turned out to be Arthur
Little who lives near Coleman. It ifi
reported that he was recently released from a state institution whero
he had been confined tor forging a.
check;   .
The quick work in getting the.
swindler attests to the good work be--
ing. done in*, the sheriff's department..
That is the "reason that Isabella county-
is comparatively free Of crooks.
The three men hired by Little were-
held for Questioning but were releasea:
later.—Isabella County Enterprise..
FAIR AND SUPPER:

CATHOLICS ARE BLIND.
Sometimes they are called benighted and ignorant. Let us get at the
bottom of this. -Why do many people hold this opinion of Catholics? Is it
not, because the Catholic receives religious belief with unfaltering faith on
the authority of th© Catholic church Instead of being allowed to make his
own religious or form his own religious views? You say the church takes
away his liberty,- his religious freedom and freedopi is dear to everyone,
especially to every American. This argument seems quite convincing, but
will it stand in the face of facts?
• Americans are a liberty-loving people. But does liberty mean-' that
everyone may follow .his every impulse and every whim of his will? No,
fbr that would mean anarchy. The Constitution itself sets up an author
ity; it even builds up an elaborate machinery of authority. There is Congress to make laws, the President and the army to enforce them and the
courts io decide them. These w.ere not made to take away our liberty but to
safeguard it. Without them, liberty would -mean merely the right of the
strong to oppress the weak and no jnan's life or property would be safe
We must have a Supreme Court, Not every American may personally like
every decision of the Supreme /Court, but no true American would refuse
to give obedience to it. To do 'so would mean treason to the Constitution of
the U. S. - #
When Jesus Christ came to show man the way to eternal happiness,
He too, set up a spiritual constitution. He spoke often of "His Kingdom" on
earth)—that was . His church. Every Kingdom, evei'y nation must have its
authority and must demand, obedience.from its subjects.- So ioo with the
Kingdom of'God which is His church.This is why,Catholics claim-for the
church.an authority vested in the.Supreme Pontiff, the Pope; and w,ith and
under him the bishops. To this authority he gives his -obedience in "all
things religious and spiritual.      ... -   .
