Pocketbook   Snatcher  Relieves Mrs. S. M. Carrier
of $300 as  She   Was
About   to Enter  •
Home.
For many months petty thieving
has been going on in the city, but not
until Saturday evening had there
been a real holdup of record made of
pocketboow snatching.
About 11:00 o'clock on this evening Mrs. S. M, Carrier, who owns
and operates "The Racket Store"
locked the doors and started for
home. As she reached the porch and
was about to open the screen door
a man, who had been hiding in the
shrubbery, jumped out and snatched a
basket from her arm in which was
her pocketbook containing about ?300.
Thinking it was a joke she turned
around as such, but when she saw
a man running from her, she realized
it was a hold-up and began to call for
help. Mr. Carrier and son, Rex, who
were in the house, heard her cries, hue
before they had gained the scene,
the culprit had taken pocketbook
from the basket and disappeared in
the darkness.
An officer was summoned but no
track could be found of him.

THE CENTRAL HIGHWAY TRUNKUNE M-14
W.JL. Park Foresees Boom
for     Michigan    Greater
Than That of the  Peninsula  State.
Accessibility of the objective is the
controlling factor in all • human migrations whether transitory, seasonal
or permanent. From time immemor-
able in these movements the easiest
paths have always "been traversed.'
The high lands of Michigan north
of about latitude forty-four are destined to become the summer as well as
the permanent home • of millions of
people for exactly the same reason,
reversed, that the tide of humanity to
escape climatic discomforts is now
flowing southward. While this obtains now in a comparatively small
way those who are availing themselves of such comforts are pioneers.
Once the opportunity and the idea be-*
comes thoroughly spread amongst
those who will eventually avail themselves of them a vast tide will flow
in to grasp such opportunities before
they are gone.
Michigan should have one great
main highway through the center of
the state to promote and accommodate this infjux. From such an artery
the entire state will become more and
more accessable. The east and west
pikes are well enough to attract the
week end transients. They serve
well the hotel resorts, lunch counters, garages and other summer enterprises. Michigan should look much
further than this and bid for the substantial developments of the interior.
To visualize what is prospective and>
to expediate that which is for the
permanent good of the great commonwealth, one must look not only at the
existing conditions but retrospectively at that "which has heretofore obtained in the world's history. The
greatest density of population on the
globe is the north temperate zone.
Over half the population and nine-
tenths of the wealth is to be found
within a strip three hundred miles in
width. Here the iiving conditions
are such as to nourish a vigorous, intelligent and productive type of
peoples who dominate the world
physically and commercially. As
those who reside in such favorable
localities become affluent they seek a
more salubrious climate seasonably
Some go far to the ends of the earth,
but the vast majority are content
with the shorter migrations. In
Europe, Russia, German, Great Brit-
Ian and the other north countries to
the Mediterranean where the Riviere
offers them recreations and exemption
from the rigors of their home winters.
In the summer they enjoy the scenery
and climate of Denmark, Norway and
Sweedeh.
Geographically no section of the
United States offers , greater advantages during the summer months
than Michigan. It extends farther
north than any state in the union
east of the Mississippi river. Notwithstanding the high latitude the
climate is equable for the reason that
is its so nearly surrounded by water.
The great lakes have a uniform temperature of fifty-five degrees at the
bottom, winter and summer, This
latent heat serves as a hugh 'thermostat. The cooling effect during the
summer months interests Michigan in so far as her
prospective summer residents from
the country south are concerned
who will seek refuge from the sweltering days and sleepless nights, the
blistering sun, the hot dry winds that
blow from the still -hotter south
country. Their fall and winter
climate is better than that of the
coast countries "therefor there is no
desire to go elsewhere at this time.
The center of population of the
United States is directly south of
Michigan, within ajadius' of a few
hundred miles there are millions of
people who will seek to escape the
discomforts of the hot" months. On
the western extreme of this radius
many will find similar but less favorable, conditions in Wisconsin and
Minnesota On the eastern extreme,
this is more than compensated for by
the Carrier of the great lakes turning
them from a greater density of population around Lake Erie into th'e
Michigan's pure air and water, cool
nights and  salubrious summer days.
As the highways are bettered to the
south primarily to serve those who
are traveling back and forth to
Florida they will serve Michigan a' like purpose ^by making it more accessable to the inhabitants of this section, Hndiana, Ohio,"
J Missouri, Kentucky, Tennesse, Ala-
1 bama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Louisiana..-.Those states jilone contain a
sufficient surplus wealth to absorb
every available locality in Michigan's
pure air and water zone. While this
movement is not particularity notic.e-
iable as yet, when it becomes con-
' spidious, when there is some difficulty
in getting just what is desired as
habitation then will come Michigan's
boom. ,it will come whether anything is done here to help it along or
not. The state can,greatly expediate
it by providing the necessary high-

CLARE COUNTY TO
BENEFIT BY NEW
PRIMARY LAW
Will Receive Increase of Nearly
$1,701.00 When  Next Apportionment is Made.
Clare's share of the primary school
money under the terms of the Bohn
primary school fund law will be increased when the next primary money,
apportionment is made, according to
Thomas E. Johnson, superintendent
of public instruction. .Had the 1923
.legislature passed the law Clare's
share of the increase would have
been $1,701.00. Clare's increase will
be fn the neighborhood of that figure
unless the population materially decreases.
Work of compiling the 1925 censuB
under which the new apportionment
will be made is now under way in
Johnson's office. Private and parochial school enrollment figures are considered in the rearrangement of the
fund.
The new school census for Clare
county shows a total of 2,465 pupils
in theschools in the county. The
total primary school money .available
for Clare county this year is ?33,770.-
50,
The primary school fund this year
reached the total of $15,440,000 which
is greater by $400,000 than last year.
The primary school fund represents
the tax money paid into the state
treasury by telephone and telegraph
companies, railroads, express companies, car owning and car loaning
companies, including refrigerator and
Pullman car concerns, also insurance
and inheritance" tapces and all funds
from escheated estates. The per
capita distribution of primary school
money this year is $13.70 per child,
according to Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson says that the total number of
children Included In the apportionment this year is 1,122.983 while the
total sum to be apportioned is ?15,-
"395,688.12. Last year's primary apportionment for Clare county was
based on a school census of 2,547.

and how to do it, but at times they

year's work and their playing was beyond the fondest expectations.

their friends but to leave behind 'the
fixed understanding that they are
ready at any time to co-operate in advancing ■ the local Interest of their
patrons. As evidence of this they
have arranged to render to any community in their territory a valuable
service in the matters of retail credit
and collections. The retail merchants of Grand Rapids own and
operate not for profit, the Merchants
Service Bureau, /through which the
members may ascertain who" is and
who is not entitled' to credit. In four
years of operation this Bureau has
saved a vast amount of money for its
members. No town or community is

of kicks. The quarter ended with the j United States. Merchants interested
Indians in possession of the ball on in this are requested to write to any
about their twenty-five yard line.
Second Quarter
• Many times in the second quarter
attempts were made to reach the goal
but because of inexperience this was
not accomplished. The first half ended with the score 0-0.
Third Quarter
The visitors decided to receive the
kick-off at the opening of the third
period. They soon found it necessary
to punt again and the ball rolled to
Clare's ten yard line. Here Wallace
Johnson picked up the ball and assisted ,by clever blocking eluded the
entire Indian team and ran ninety
yards to a touchdown. The run was
very spectacular and probably the
like of it will not be seen again this
season.
On the' try for the point after the
touchdown the kick was blocked.
During the rest of the quarter the ball
see-sawed back and forth in the middle of the field.
Fourth Quarter
Early in the fourth period the Indians began a march down the field
successfully mixing forward passes
and off tackle plays to gain the necessary yardage for three successive
first downs. This was the first time
that the opponents had reached
Clare's territory and it appeared for a
time that they would score a touchdown. Clever tackles by Devere
Schoonover and Rolland Thayer halted the advance and finally Petchnik
intercepted a forward pass and raced
to midfield. The rest of the game
found the ball changing hands repeatedly in the center of the field.
Features of Game
The outstanding events of the game
were: 1. the fighting team wprk of
whole squad, 2. the clever blocking of
the ends and backfield, 3. the hard
and clean tackling, 4 the individual
playing of Wallace Johnson, Devere

AIM TO UNIFY
TRAFFIC LAWS
IN MICHIGAN
Conference Draws up Ordinance Setting Forth Uniform Speed and Signals.
A tentative ordinance, setting forth
a uniform and simplified traffic code,
was completed Tuesday, Sept. 1st
by the first Michigan traffic conference, held at Detroit, and, in a redrafted form, will be presented at the
second conference to be held at
Grand Rapids,  October 22nd.
The conference, held in'the General
Motors building, was sponsor?d. by
the Detroit Automobile club with the
intention of promoting definite action
toward state adoption of uniform
rules covering speed limits' in cities
and on country roads; uniform signals for traffic direction; an established way to make right and left turns;
one definition of reckless driving and
uniform regulation of headlights.
If Michigan cities and villages
adopt the rules, to be -made public at
the Grand Rapids conference. Thomas
P. Henry, president of the Detroit!
club and the American Automobile
association, will call on units of the.
latter organization to start campaigns
for uniform traffic laws in their own
states,
Supt. of Police A. A. Carroll of
Grand Rapids, who was named member of the drafting committee, addressed the delegates at the noon
luncheon of the conference and was
enthusiastically received. He discussed the work of the Hoover conference, which he attended as a representative of Michigan earlier in the
year.
• The conference went oh record as
adopting the draft of a uniform traffic
ordinance for cities and villages proposed by tho Detroit Automobile club,
as the basis for the studies and reports to be made by the various committees at the Grand Rapids meeting,
