MISS EMMA P
JRKBR1D
DIES
Memory    of    Her    Many
Good   Deeds   Will Long
Rernaia in the Hearts of
Her Host of Friends
Miss Emma P, Kirkbride, sister of
Postmaster S, C. Kirkbride and Mrs.
Wm.    Waite    of    this city,    passed
from    this  life    Saturday    morning.
She     came     to    Micigan     in" the
year of 1882, from     Phila,     N.   Y.,
whera   she   "Vvas   norn'    of   Quaker
and   Presbyterian   parentage.     Her
first important "work was in the   "Industrial Home for girls"  at Adrain,
where she was matron over one of the
cottages for several years, Resigning
Jxer position there, she came to Clare
Where she lived   for   several   years.
She was called in 1S99 to a similar
position in an Industrial Girls school
at Milwaukee.    In 1900 she resigned
her position there and went to Min-
neoplis    where   her * life has    been
spent in service to others.   She was
connected with Unity Settlement, as
House director for many-years, after
which she was called as Matron and
house mother to a new boarding club
for young women, the Women's Christian   Association   was    establishing.
For several years the club   had   no
name and the young ladies at the club
took a vote and it was unamiously decided to call their home "The Kirkbride Club" after their beloved matron.    All these later years she has
spent her time striving to make that
place a real home for those who have
been there.    This time she has not
resigned hut has just left,a position
where she has made such a success
for others to carry on.
In the "Annals of .no man's land,"
published by the W. C.   A.   of   Min-
neopolis, the  girls  of the Kirkbride
Club wrote of her. "Not   only   go6d
looking but good doing is our dear
mother,    Miss   Kirkbride,   who     so
cheerfully bears the burdens of her
large family.    She   has   a   way   of
scattering    sunshine     that     makes
everyone feel happy and at home. To
say that we love . her   expresses   it
lightly.    Since coming   to' the   Club
when it just opened she has done so
much cheerfully that we venture to
say that there isn't a girl among us
who doesn't think of her as a true
friend and one in whom she feels free
to confide."     Her   last   message   in
print to the gfrls of   the   club   were
published in    the    January, 1925 An-
nal.     She   said:    "As we reach the
threshold of the   new   year   let   us
pause a moment to reflect   on   how
hest to make our lives happy and of
some benefit to our associates. Should
we not strive to   be   thoughtful   of
those' who live with us, considering
their convenience and comfort before
our own.   Happiness lies within ourselves, does it not?   Let us make the
coming year the best yet.     The following verse   seems   to   me   worth
reading the second time if you have
been so fortunate as to have read it
before:
"Another pearl let fall on that long
string,
Which men call time!    Do   not   reluctantly cling,
It is not yours, 'twas lent to you the
while
You said a prayer, bestwed   a   tear
and smile,
Take up the new with joy and hopefulness ;
For, while your fingers hold it, who
can guess,
What blessings   you   may   get—and
give?
This year, it may be, you will really
live."
This poem was written by E. D.
Palmer, formerly of Clare, and sent
hy him to S. C. Kirkbride, who
forwarded it to Miss Kirkbride..
Funeral services were held from
the home of her brother on West 6th
street Monday morning at 10:00
o'clock, Rev. H. B. Johnson officiating
and interment made in Cherry Grove.

M-14 BOOSTERS
HARD AT WORK
Several   Thousand   People
Along Popular Trunkline
Planning to Visit
Lansing Soon."
(By Special Correspondent)
The petitions to urge the paying of
M-14 which have heen placed in the
itowns along the present route of this
trunk line are being signed by all of
tbe people until at the present time
there are thousands of signatures, A
campaign has been started by the1
M-14 Association to secure memberships at one dollar per year and it is
conservatively estimated that ?25,000
will be secured.
The people are very much wrought
up over the persistent rumors that
a hew "trunk line through miles of
what is pow a wilderness is to be
built at an expense of hundreds of
thousands of dollars, and that this
new ling would interfere with the development and paving of this present
road which serves tha cities of Alma,
Shepherd, Mt. Pleasant, Clare, Harrison and the west side of Houghton
Lake, and they, are not only ready to
use their influence but give of their
money to urge the retention _.rd
paving of this road. The association
is receiving letters from prominent
people and Chamberpot Commerce in
Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, asking
what they may do to assist in keeping this road, as they have traveled
it and have enjoyed its scenic beauty
and accommodations.
The present M-14 passes through
what is no doubt the Most productive
' agricultural locality of the state and
its scenic beauty is unequalled any-
' where. This road is not only necessary to the localities though which it
passes but is also a main artery of
travel to the state at large.
At a recent meeting of the M-14 Association plans were- promulgated for
a Booster Meeting- of several thousands of people living along this present route to call upon the Governor,
the Administrative Board and Highway Department at a very early date.
Plans are being made for the largest
booster meeting which has ever visited the state capital.

A new book on the subject of stuttering and stammering has been added to the collection of information
on the shelves of the Clare Public
Library. The new work is entitled
"Stammering, Its Cause and Cure."
It was written by Benjamin Nathaniel Bogue, a recognized authority on
the subject of stammering and author
of several volumes dealing with imperfections of speech.
"Until he was twenty years of age,
Mr. Bogue was himself afflicted with
stammmering. He relates in his latest book some of the experiences of
his early life when inability to talk
without stuttering, handicapped his
efforts to gain a foothold in the world
of business.
The author's cure of himself of the
stammering affliction, after years devoted to scientific study of the human
voice and the causes of' impeded
speech, is told in the new book.
Since he overcome his own affliction,
Mr. Bogue has devoted his life to the
study jof stammering and its cure.
The facts related in. the book just received by the Public Library are based Upon his personal contact with
20,000 stammerers and information
gained through correspondence with
approximately 190,000 others similarly afflicted who have sought his advice during the twenty-four years he
has been the head of the Bogue Institute for Stammerers in Indianapolis.
The Bogue book discusses the
harassing effect of stammering upon
the mind and body of a child and of
grown-up stammerers. It contains
advice for the guidance of stammering children, warning them against
patronizing unscientific and "fake"
advertisers of cures for the affliction.

Legionaires and citizens generally -
in the American Legion's work ot
caring for the disabled veterans ana
orphans of those who "went West'"'
overseas and in this country during:
the World War and since the Armistice.
John A. Chapman, post commander
of   Walter   Frazier   Post   No.     103^.-
American  Legion,  has  notified  state
headquarters of the Legion that A, B_
Glapie, a member of the state legislature has been selected as city chairman for the Endowment Fund drive.
With the appointment of Mr. Glaspie
other members of the committee will
be named and the actual work of the
drive will begin at once.
> Mr. Fordney has reported that he
is busy selecting other members  of
the   state   committee   to   raise   Michigan's share of the Legion's Endowment fund, and will complete his. organization within the next few days*. %
"My experience in matter^ ol gcevr-
ernment   aid   to  veterans,   aisdl tf&eir
families, has taught me the vital necessity of The American Legion'1 continuing is efforts   for   the    disabled-
veterans and the' orphans of former
service    men,"    Mr.    Fordney    told
National Commander   Drain   in   accepting the state chairmanship of the   .
drive "The   Legion    must   maintaim
personal contact with   the    disable*
men and with the widows and  children in order to assist those who receive no government aid and "to help>
others prior    to their    contact   with,
government agencies,
"The war is not over yet for these
men, widows and orphans. I think
Michigan will do her part, as she has:
always done in* patriotic endeavors.
This fund will make it possible for
salvaging the human wreckage- of the
war, making ' good citizens in every
the Legion to continue its work oE
community of those for whom "hope
has apparently fled. Over one million claims for disability conditions
were filed by veterans after the war,
and the government has acted on''less
than 400,000 of them.
"The American Legion is giving:
daily service to needy veterans all
over the United States, and is giving;
good, temporary homes to widows
and orphans, and is finding good permanent homes for them. This work
must continue. Michigan must do its
part."
"The 5,000,000 fund that is being-
raised is to be placed in. the hands of
a nationally known trust company
and the .interest from that fund will
be used, half of it going to assist disabled veterans, and the other half to-
be used in caring for the Widows and
orphans of service men, until such-
time as homes are found for them or
they can care for themselves. Not
one cent of the principal of the fund
will be used for any purpose, and
when the time arrives when all Veterans, their widows and orphans
have passed beyond earthy aid, the
jthen president of the United States
and the chief justice of the United
States Supreme Court will designate
Some charity to receive the interest
from the fund. This fund will always
be known as the American Legion
Endowment Fund and 100 years from
now some worthy charity will receive
a benefit from the money Michigan
citizens are now contributing towards
the help of the disabled service men.
and their widows and orphans.
Every man, woman and child ** it-
Michigan can contribute their mite to
this fund and know that every year
the interest from their contributions
is helping some needy person to regain their respeCtaole standing in the
community.
