REED CITY WINS
HARDFOUGHT BATTLE
Glare to Meet Sacred Heart
Team on Local Floor
Tonight.
Friday night the fans undoubtedly
witnessed the best brand of basket
*all that has been displayed on the
court In years. Taking the floor
.against insurmountable odds, the
wearers of the green and white surprised even their staunchest supporters by the persistent, .determine fight
that they put into the game. The
Clare boys realized that Lndington,
Manistee, Traverse City, Cadillac, and
other teams had been defeated by
Reed City. They knew that not one
of the teams from these towns had
scored more than eleven points
against Reed City and that on the
other hand Reed City had averaged
ahout thirty points in their games
this- year. These facts, however, did
not daunt coach Finch's proteges and
they started the game with a rush.
The fine crowd after sizing up the
two aggregations did not give the
umall boys, representing the local
"high.school a chance against the six-
footers of Reed City. The visitors undoubtedly had the same idea and they
seemed-stocked with overconfidence.
iEhvthusiasm ran high as W. Johnson
caged the sphere from a difficult
angle fpr two counters. The game
resolved itself into a display of defensive tactics. The hall was shot
hack and forth with clock-like decisions only to be intercepted by an op-
*'- ponent. Parker threw a field goal
.&.     for Clare and then a foul was called on

opportunity and   sank   one    pointer

locals fetowed   superiority   in   every
■ hranch of the game.

- -   ,    This session started with a bang.
'■      Clare was   determined   to   hold   its
., .margin while Reed City faced by a

fore this year was determined to
^'jover-come the lead.   While W. John-
--•■ '*»it»on secured two free throws the Grien

ABELLA COUNTY
NS
Building  Owned   b/  John
McElhaney Destroyed by
Fire Sunday Afternoon
A log house, which was' built
seventy years ago, and was one of the
land marks of Isabella county, located about two miles north of Rosebush
and near the St. Henry's Catholic
church, was entirely destroyed by fire
last Sunday afternoon.
The house belonged to John McElhaney, of Rosebush, but was rented by bis brother-in-law, Frank Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell and his family
were away from home when the fire
was discovered by a neighbor, and it
had gained such headway that nothing
could be saved. The house was in
good condition and the loss was estimated at ?2,500 with some insurance.
The Clare rural fire truck was called and the boys responded, making
a good run as usual, but had no
chance to do anything as the building
was partically destroyed hefore they
were called.

MEMBERS OF AKA-
WAHAT SOCIETY
LAY NOVEL JOKE
Rev, H. B. Johnson, Their
Leader,    the     Victim.
Justice of Peace  and
Prosecutor   Assist. *
Members of the Akahawat fraternity of the Congregational church took
a novel method of presenting their
friend and leader, Rev. H. B. Johnson, with a gift of new 1926 license
plates for his Ford automobile, Thursday morning.
Under Sheriff Harvey Erter called
at the parsonage and served a warrant on the reverend gentleman, who
by the way is a special police officer
of the city, on a charge of driving his
car with 1925 plates. He was conducted to the office of Justice Callihan, where he was arraigned in the
presence of Prosecutor Holbrook and
the complainant, special police officer
John Asline, the city clerk, a representative of the Consumers Power
Company, the editor and some of the
members of the fraternity.
Mr. Johnson was very serious
throughout, and on recommendation
of Prosecutor Holbrook, he was allowed to go to the Citizens Bank to
purchase the license, where the plates
were presented to him, with a card
bearing the compliments of the
Akahawats and friends.
G. L. C. MEETS AT HOME

Annual Election  and  Din-ner at
Meeting February Second.    .
The meeting of the Good Literature
Club on January 19th was held at the
home of their vice president, Mrs.
Hachmuth, Mrs. Susie Foell acting as
chairman for the evening.
The members were favored with
two vocal selections by Miss Lucille
Alderton entitled, "Trees" and Song
from India."
A very interesting paper was given
by Miss Slentz on Household Financing, and Mrs. Bogan_gave a paper on
Homekeeping or Housekeeping. These
papers gave many new tnoughts for
discussion which followed.
Plans were discussed for the next
meeting to be held with Mrs. Pearl
Sanford next Tuesday evening and
the annual election of officers will
take place.
Dinner will be served at 6:00
o'clock, price per plate will he

Laundry for the Cadillac Steam
Laundry Co. will be received at Fria'
store. Bundles left before Tuesday

13tf. Gienwood HolmeB, Agent
Readers of this newspapers are advised to avoid the fake newspaper
clipping agencies, which seem to have
sprung up all over the country for the
purpose of mulcting tne public for
small sums of money in return for
certain news stories that are supposed to be of value to the person addressed.
Twenty-five cents is the amount
generally asked, a coin card and self
addressed envelope being enclosed in
order to make the transaction as painless as possible for the recipient.
That the scheme catches the unwary,
is evidenced frorn the number of these
agencies that have already come to
light, the curiosity of the average person causing them to invest the small
amount demanded in the belief they
are going to receive something of
news value. In every instance the
clipping is from the home town newspaper, the agency securing it in some
manner for that purpose. The whole
thing is a fake and should be avoided.
Card of Thanks
We wish to express our thanks and
appreciation to all our friends and
neighbors for their kindness xin getting us up' such a nice pile of wood,
to the ladies who helped furnish and
serve the dinner. Also to the Sunday
School and the Ladies Aid for the
beautiful flowers and plants they sent
to me at the hospital.

CONTRACT AIR MAIL SER-
' VICE TO BE INAUGURATED.
Routes   Between    Detroit    and
Cieveland and Detroit
and Chicago.
Office of the Postmaster General,
Washington, January 20, 1926.
On February 15. 1926, the transportation of mail by aircraft under contract will be inaugurated. The routes
which will mark the commencement
of the service are between Detroit
and Cleveland and between Detroit
and Chicago. The first plane is
scheduled to leave Chicago for Detroit at 8 a. m„ central standard
time.
This will mark another epoch in the
development of mail transportation,
and is the initial step in the installation of a service which will in its
operation materially shorten the mail
time between the great cities of the
United States. The success of the
transcontinentlal air mail service between New York and San Francisco
justifies the hope and suggests the
prediction that the contract air mail
service prove of even greater value
to the patrons of the Post Office Department.
Contracts have also heen awarded
on seven other routes, and announcements will be made at a later date as
to when service on these other routes
will hegin.

MOTHERS SHOULD TEACH
DAUGHTERS TO COOK
Girl  Who Learns   to   Become
Good Housewife  Has Greater Chance for Successful
Matrimonial Career.
By Fred D. Keister
How many women who reach the
divorce courts can lay claim to being
good cooks We venture the assertion there are very few women whose
matrimonial affairs need court revision, are really capable of managing
a home where hubbie's inner wants
can be taken care of in an epicurian
manner.
The average man is a home-loving
individual. When he has finished his
day of buffeting up against the rough
side of the universe, he is more than
glad to seek his home, a haven of rest
and recuperation until another day
has arrived. The wife who can prepare well cooked mealB, keep the
hearth swept clean, has very lltUe to
fear from a possible vamp out to steal
her hushand's love.
The young girl who enters the married state able to cook a good meal
wields a far greater influence over a
man than the flapper whose chief accomplishment is an ability to enter a
drawing room gracefully or conduct
herself properly at an afternoon reception. The girl who learns to become a good housewife has a far
greater .chance for a successful matrimonial career than the girl who
thinks that good clothes and" a pretty
smile is all that a husband desires.
The mother who fails to impress these
homely truths upon her daughter, Is
neglecting the most important part of
that daughter's education.

Plans    Completed   for   Annual!
Gathering at M. S. C. Next
.   Week—Expect Big Crowd '
The latch strings of all doors at the
Michigan State College will hang on
the outside next week, when the col-
ledge plays host to thousands of Michigan farmers and their families during the annual Farmers' Week conferences.
An imposing list of brilliant speakers has been .completed for the meetings of the work; conferences of more
than 30 of the state's leading farm
organizations are set; interesting and
valuable exhibits on many phases of
rural life are in place. In short, the
stage is set for the 1926 edition of
what Is generally accepted as the
largest and most important agricultural conferences of the year in Michigan.
The crowds at Farmers' Week In
recent years have averaged around
5,000, and those in charge of arrangements at M. S. C. predict at least as
large an attendance this year. With
the majority of visitors . coming to
East Lansing by automobile, weather
and roads conditions are expected to(
play an important part in the attendance figures. Railroads of the state
are giving special rates for Farmers
Week visitors, however, and this too
is counted on as an attendance factor.
"Bring the Family With You", is
the slogan heing sent out from East
Lansing. The women will make their
headquarters at the beautiful new
Home Economics Building, and will
have complete programs of their own
during the week.
The* general plan for the week will
leave the mornings- open for association meetings and inspection of exhibits, with the afternoons and evenings devoted to the big general
meetings in the college gymnasium.
A score of the country's leading
agricultural speakers are booked for
addresses on these general programs.
HIGHWAY SNOWPLOW

county for the purpose of keeping
trunkllnes M-14 and M-20 clear- of
snow from the Rosebush line to the
pavement at Coleman, arrived full of
pep and if size is any evidence of
strength, it sure ought to throw snow.
