Under 18 Years.
EARL M. MYERS DIES
SUDDENLY ON TUESDAY
FARM BODIES VICTORIOUS
Many  New Proposals  Appear,
Reapportionment,    Death
Penalty Up next.
After holding the center of the
stage for • the entire week, the question of accepting or rejecting the proposed federal Child Labor Amendment was finally settled when at noon
Friday the House hy a vote of 61 to
24 passed Rep. Culver's resolution rejecting the. anSqndment. This action
came as climax to a stormy debate of
more than an hour and a half which
broke loose when the Culver resolution came, up as a special order at
10;30 a. m.
On. the night proceeding this final
action in the House a joint public
hearing was held by the Senate and
House committees having this matter
in charge. The Senate Chamber was
packed to capacity, both on the floor
arid In the g&ilieries with lobbyists and
spectators. A large portion of the
time was given ovey to hearing the
spokesman. f or organized labor and.
Various women's clubs tell why the
federal amendment- was needed and
should be ratified by Michigan. The
case against ratification was presented by M. B. MePherson of Lowell,
"Vice-President of the Michigan State
Farm Bureau^ and by Mrs. Dora
Stockman, Lecturer of the Michigan
State Grange ahd C. H. Bramble of
the Executive Committee of the Michigan State Grange.
See Tax-Dodging Property
Tax reform bills continue to make
their appearance. Representative
Chas, Evans of Tipton, chairman of
the House committee on General Tax-
ation.has proposed a bill intended to
reduce the large amount of general
property which is tax exempt at present. . Under the terms of this bill
churches, fraternal orders and charitable institutions would be allowed
only such exemptions on their real
estate as should be approved by the
one-man state tax commission, which
it is planned to create by another tax
measure.
Representative Evan's bill would
authorize the Btate tax commission to
investigate all exempted property. If
found by the commission it was not
entitled to, special consideration, it
would go on the tax tolls. Representative Evans estimated that at
least §50,000,000 worth of property,
which should be paying taxes, would
be uncovered.
Other tax measures include one by
Representative J. Herbert Reed of
Manistee to make the state tax commissioner and the governor the
state board of assessors; by Representative Douglas Black of Iosco
county to provide a three-man state
board of equalization; and one by
Representative John Espie of Eagle
to place the stock of investment companies on the general tax roll.
All shares of stock in banks, and
.trust, deposit and security companies
would be assessed and taxed in the
township, village or city where the
bank or other company is located, instead of at the residence of the holder
of the stock, according to a bill proposed by Senator Godf ried Gettel of
Sebewaing. Representative "Wm. J.
Thomas of * Cannonsburg, Kent
county, has introduced a bill giving
the state tax commission the legal
right to review and alter the reports
of its field men.
Seek Control of Corn Borer
Recognizing the growing menace pf
the continued advance and increase
of the European corn borer in Michigan, Representative Joseph "Warner
of Ypsilanti has- introduced a bill intended to aid in the suppression and
control of, this unwelcome European
Visitor. Tbe Commissioner of Agriculture of .Michigan would be authorized to prepare and enforce regulations for the control of the European
corn borer and ?25,000 would be appropriated to defray the state's share
of the necessary expense. If this bill
is passed, a considerable amount of
federal funds will become available
to aid in the control and eradication
^campaign.
. After vigorous protest "had been
made by various librarians of the
state, the proposed constitutional
amendment, fathered by Representative Joseph " Warner of Ypsilanti,
which would provide that fines collected for breach of the penal laws
should be placed in the general fund,
instead of in the library fund as at
present was .referred back to committee for further consideration. It
is stated that in many communities-
ihesfi jt§h&i fines have been accumlat-
ing in larger amounts than could profitably be used for library purposes.
However, the library people insisted
that such was not the case and that
Weil Known    Local   Salesman
Victim   of  Heart  Leakage,
" Was Only 32 Years Old.
Earl M. Mye rs, for the last 14 years
a resident of Battle Creek and born
and brought up in the vicinity, died
quite suddenly February "17th at 4:30,"
of leakage of the heart, at his home;
31 1-2 Marshall. He was only 32
years old.
Mr. Myers was well known both in
business and social circles, having
been a salesman for wholesale grocery houses here during his- residence
and being a member of Battle Creek
lodge .No. 419 of the -Masons, a
member of the blue lodge, shrine and
consistory, and also a member of the
Knights of Pythias, of the United
Commercial • Travelers and tho
Kiwanis club.
Mr, Myers had suffered very little
from heart trouble, previously and his
death came as a great shock to his
relatives and friends.
He was connected in business first
with Godsmark & Durand, later, successively with the Grocers Inc., Wjbrd-
en Grocery company, and recently
with the- Davis-Mason-England .company, recently established in Battle
Creek. • '*"~
Mr. Myers was born in Burlington
township and was a graduate of the
Union City high school. He was married only two years ago, and leaves
his widow, Mrs. Jessie' Myers, his
mother, Mrs.. Emma Myers of Union.
City, and three sisters, Mrs. Kather-
ine Lohr of 67 Tompkins, Mrs. Martha
Parsons of Union City, and Mrs.
Dorothy Hoehme, also of Union City.
The funeral services^ will be held
tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from
the Masonic temple, conducted by
Battle Creek lodge No. 419, the Rev.
Carleton B. Miller and the Rev. William G. Studwell. Burial will be at
Union City.—Battle Creek Herald.
Mr. Myers married Miss Jessie MeLeod, daughter of Angus MeLeod of
this city, June 1923, and at his several
visits here made many Mends. The
Sentinel join with the many friends
here-and at Farwell, where Mrs.
Myers grew to womanhood, in extending sympathy at this sad hou*.
if the proposed constitutional" amendment was passed the libraries would
be left without any definite source of
revenue.
An effort to insure a more complete
observance of Sunday as a religious
holiday is being made" by Senator
Frank Young of Lansing. He has introduced a bill providing for the closing of practically all commercial retail stores on Sunday, except drug
stores and confectionary stores and
those operated by persons whose religious belief is that Saturday is the
Sabbath rather than Sunday. The
stores included.in th& proposed Sunday closing bill are those .selling, or
having for sale, groceries, dry goods,
boots, shoes'", clothing, jewelry, meats,
musical instruments, sheet music,
baked goods, furniture, hardware,
gents' furnishings, radio supplies, fish,
fruits, vegetables, delicatessen' food,
lumber and building materials, Violation of the provisions, of the bill would
be punishable by a fine of not more
than $25 or imprisonment for hot
more than 90 days for the first offense, and a fine of not more than
?50 or imprisonment for not more
than 90 days for the second offense.
Permanent protection for quail in
Michigan is- Sought by a bill introduced by Representative Frank Mc-
Kenzle of Concord which provides
that "hereafter it shall be unlawful to
take or kill quail at any season of the
year." "Violation, of this measure
would be made subject to a fine of
from $25 to ?5Q or 10 days jail sentence.
Considerable discussion was aroused over the final passage though the
House of the bill sponsored by Rep-
Edward, R. Carter, of Gladstone,
which would require the payment of
wages every two weeks. Finally after
the bill was.amended to exclude farm
laborers and the penalty for violation
made more mild, it was passed 64 to
18. Several members expressed the
idea that the bill in its final form was
unconstitutional. "■

MOTHERS AND
DAUGHTERS HAVE
A BIG TIME
Largest Banqtui ia History
of Congregational Church
Given   Wednesday-
Evening.   <■
.The Mother and Daughter banquet.
served at the Congregational church
Wtednesday evening was the. most
successful event of the character in
the history of this church. One hundred sixty-eight women and girls
were seated at the' • banquet tables. _
The invocation was delivered by Mrs. i
C. H. Sutherland. With Phelps to
prepare the meat, and Thurston to"
cook and mash the potatoes, and a-
very efficient kitchen force in charge
of Feighner, it was no wonder the
ladles were all pleased with the food,
John Nelson had charge of the dinning room and the large force of
white coated waiters were well organized, and the service, was first class
in every particular."   v ■: - i
" Mr&. Frank Hochstetler in. a very j
pleasing arid happy manner presided
as* toastmaster. - * She expressed the
appreciation of all present, for the
excellent banquet and < complimented
the men on the way in which It was"
served. She had a pleasing story
which she told in an able manner as
she introduced the persons who took
part on the program. Mrs, E. A.
Anderson sang a solo and responded
to an encode; Mrs. Elden responded
to the toast, "Our Daughters." She
said, "We are so happy to have our
daughters with lis tonight, for the
relationship of mother and daughter
is so very close and can be made so
beautiful by sympathy and understanding, We welcome opportunities
like this, of making this relationship
broader and deeper. The time in
which we live, offers many opportunities for our daughters that we did
not have. You girls are better cared
for at home and at school, because,
we in this age, understand you better
than our mothers did us. You aTe
ahead of us physically, as you should
be, and perhaps are better developed
mentally. But there are' forces at
work that seek with devilish cunning
to prevent your moral development.
These forces are striving in one short
generation to reduce America to the
level of Russia, by spoiling our youth.
They are bidding high for you, and
they know that if by immoral pictures, suggestive songs and dances,
disregard for God and Hlg, church and
His day, they-can win you away from
us who care; so much for you, then
America is doomed. I have too much
faith to belive__that this can come to
pass. But yoiTmust have high principles and unfaltering honesty, for you
girls will either keep the young men
up to your high standards or drag
them .down, if you lower your expectations of them."
Miss Stohecliff entertained with a
beautiul solo, and Miss Bernice McKinnon responded to" the toast, "Our
Mothers." She said, "Mother, no one
but a toother knows what that word
really means. You play the part of
sacrifice in life's unchanging scenes.
The hand that rocks the cradle should
rule this world of toil and strife, for it
gains that jower by giving us" the
dearest things in life. And so dear
mothers, we meet here tonight to pay
tribute to you and honor you for the
sacrifices you have made in helping
us to grow up,'learning from day to
day the little Tyay£ of right as you
have learried them though your years
of experiences.
Only of late have the nations of
the world begin to realize the true
worth of mothers and the important
role they are to piay in the shaping of
the destiny of their respective
nations. Through the medium of clubs
arid organizations, equal suffrage at
the polls, and the right to hold office,
mothers are destined to pave the way
to a better, cleaner and better world
in our respective localities. Speaking
in behalf of my friends present, of .a
younger generation, we appreciate
having our mothers with us tonight
and bid you God speed in your earthly
task in making more-perfect the conditions for us and our posterity/' The
program closed with all. singing,
"Sweet and Low."
The gross receipts of the banquet
were ?85 and' this will be nearly all
clear profit as the men of the church
furnished both money and "food sufficient to take care of nearly all the
expenses.
This money raised will be given to
the Ladies Guild to apply on the fund
they are raising to re-decorate the
church this coming summer.

• B. N, Mercer, Chairman,
The Sentinel again this week
wishes to bring to the attention^ of
the farmers, or to those who have not
yet contributed their share to the
RuraT Fire Truck, the J necessity of
doing same at once.
To date seventy-five farmers haye
shown their interest by paying their
share toward the truck. There are
many others -who do not seem to realize the benefit this truck would be.to
them in case they wanted help and
wanted it quick. It has \ proven its
worth many times and is ready at all
times for a call from the country.
The note the city firemen gave in
order to make possible this protection for the farmer will "soon be due
and it does not. seem possible that
the, farmers at § going to make them,
pay more money from their treasure
when they have" already, done more
than their share.
-Let. every farmer, who has not yet
paid in his share, think this over seriously and see to. it that he is at once
listed. Donations of $1,00 or more
will be gladly, received. They can be
made at the Derby Kandy kitchen or
at this office.

M. P.- C.
Last Friday the Gladwin High
School team visited Clare. The girls'
game with that school proved that
the home lassies are still in the run
for the championship of Central
Michigan. For the first quarter the
game looked as if it -would be rather
exciting the Gladwin girl's showed
some real pep. and spirit but were
soon "to be out done. In the second
quarter, the home team came back
strong and as a result the Gladwin
quintette was. unable to maintain the
pace. The game "finally ended with a
one sided score of 16 to 8.
Indians Hers
Next Tuesday, March 3, the Indian
school come here. Little is known
of the visitors team, but they are uri-
doubtedlly strong. A very good game
is predicted.
Boys' Game
Last FrldayJs game for the Glare
boys scored to be somewhat of a. different nature than the girls' game.
Although *it was quite close in the
first half of the contest Gladwin came
back and completely out-played the
home boys. The floor work and basket shooting of the Clare squad was
below normal. The game ended 17

Mrs.'J. Bodkins,

The .local high school girls' team
was originally' scheduled to play the
Indian lassies of Mt. fleasant on
Wednesday, March 4. Due to the fact
that the Guild wanted the high school
auditorium for that date the basket
ball game has been shoved ariead one
day and will be played on Tuesday
night. This game will be worth
watching. The girls have not been extended on the home court this- season but Tuesday's game undoubtedly
will demand that they give ^of their
best. Thus far this season the girls
have been defeated but once and that
was by a single point to Alma. When
Alma plays the return game here on
the thirteenth of March it is expected
that the tables will be reversed.
The Evart boys were scheduled to
play here as a preliihlnary to the
girls' game Tuesday but due to an
epidemic of mumps in that town the
game has been postponed. There is
some rumor to th& effect that the
faculty will joust with the boys in the
curtain raiser. The first game will
start promptly at 7:15 in order that
the children may get to their studies
by' nine o'clock. We do t not believe
in mid-week;games but this was unavoidable,  •
'The. three Clare teams .journey to
Beaverton Friday night.
"THE BAPTIST BANNER DAY"
'Twas just about three years ago
that the Baptist .church in Clare
Had gratitude within it's walls, if
twenty folks were there:
But times are changing every day,
and iolks are growing better,
So that's -just why I'm prompted to
write this little letter. ,
For three years we've been toiling,
when the road was rough and dark,
To see if by our.efforts, we could
reach the "100" mark.**
The work has been a pleasure, and
we're surely on the gain -
For the way the Lord has blessed
us, shows we haven't tried in vain.
Each Sunday finds new members enrolling on our list, r
(And when just one is absent, they
don't know how they're missed).
I'm drifting from my topic, for 1
started out to say ' "
That the . Fifteenth day February,
was the Baptist Banner Day.^.
The service in the morning was
very well attended,
And in the Sunday School that day,
the Hilltop Race was ended. ^
Now, let's keep right on trying,
some lonely one to seek,
And ask them to come out to
church,"and we'll meet them, there
each week." •
