Edna Flanigan, where she died at
midnight on April 2Sth. Had she been

pastorate she has been taken into the
church,*-preached the sermon to a
throng that completely filled the auditorium and wings of the large building. Amid the huge banks of flowers
the body was laid to rest in the Evart

been associated with the Davy stores
of this city and of Evart for many
years, having at one time lived here.
Mrs. Roxburgh was formerly Miss
Ethel Elden, also of this city. The
daughter made many visits in Clare
and held the esteem of many friends
among the young people hejce.
Beside the Elden families, those
who attended the funeral from here

BOOK HORSE PULLING
CONTESTS FOR STATES
Michigan Champions Will Enter
National    Tests—Schedule
Many Shows During
Summer.
Michigan's best horseflesh will
prove itself next summer during' a
series of special horse pulling contests to be held at fairs and agricultural meetings scattered all over the
state.
Tests of this kind held in the state
for the first time during the summer
of 1925 aroused so much interest
among farmers and other horsemen
that the events will be held on a
much larger scale during the coming
season, according to the farm and
horse department at the Michigan
State College, sponsors of the pulling
contests.
The so-called Collins Dynomometer,
an ingenius machine which measures
accurately the exact pull exerted by
each team hitched to the bar, will be
used in the contests.
More than a dozen other states will
hold similar horse pulling events during the summer, and plans call for a
national contest for the winners in
each state. Michigan horses last
year ranked high among those of the
country which entered the tests.
Determining and emphasizing the
factors which make for increased pulling power, especially among farm
horses, are said to be the real purposes of the contests. The spectacular
nature of the tests, with competition
frequently reaching stages of keenest
excitement, results in a lot of entertainment as well,
Fifteen contests in the lower peninsula, mostly at county fairs, have
already been booked, while many are
being set for the Upper Peninsula.
The horses in the contests are divided into two sections, over and under 3,000 pounds

"WHY GROW .AIMFA?" j
By Michigan State College Through Efforts of
Olare Chamber ot Commerce.
Lime is Essential to Alfalfa Success
The Soils Department of the Michigan
State College furnishes soiltex at 25
cents a can, and with this new
method, of soil testing any grower may
quickly learn the lime requirements of
his fields. Samples should be tested
in various parts of the field, both surface and sub-soil. Sour fields or portions of fields which are deficient in
lime need on the average an application of two tons of finely ground limestone per acre, or its equivalent in
some other form of lime.
The following applications are
equivalent to two tons of finely
ground limestone:
Three tons of the less finely ground
limestone material.
Three to five wagon loads of marl.
Four to seven wagon loads refuse
lime from sugar factories.
One and one-half tons hydrated
lime.
Alfalfa responds profitably to applications of manure or commercial
fertilizer. One of the best ways of
bringing an alfalfa stand through the
winter and starting it out vigorously
In the spring is to top dress the stand
in late fall with well rotted manure.
Manure should also be applied where
an attempt is being made to grow alfalfa on very light or run-down land
Applications of phosphate and potash fertilizer also pay. On any soil,
an application of two to three nun
dred pounds per acre of 16 to 20 per
cent acid phosphate may well be used,
while on the lighter soils potash
should also be added. For such lands,
200 pounds per acre of an 0-10-10 or an
0-12-6 fertilizer makes a splendid in
vestment.
Inoculate alfalfa seed witli fresh
pure culture, thus insuring the pres'
ence of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The
culture may be secured from the Department of Bacteriology, Michigan
State College, East Lansing, at 25
cents per bottle. One bottle is sufficient for a bushel of seed. Care
should be used to keep the culture out
of direct sunlight and to get the seed
covered immediately to avoid injury
to the bacteria.
Northern grown seed insures hardiness. Seed from warmer climates
winter-kills readily and causes alfalfa
failures.
Grimm is an exceptionally hardy
strain of alfalfa suited to the north,
R has variegated blossoms, a low-set
spreading crown, and a deep and
somewhat branching root system. Its
hardiness and productively make for
long-enduring and profitable fields of
alfalfa.
Many Michigan farmers have been
successful in the production of alfalfa
seed, and the supply thus made available is well adapted for use on Michigan farms.
Hardlgan is a new winter-hardy'de-
veloped by the Michigan State College to further the development of a
Michigan alfalfa seed industry. In
type it is similar to Grimm, and it
ranks with Grimm in the abundant
production of forage. It has proved
to be the state's most dependable
seed producer, and farmers who secure sufficient forage from the first
cutting and desire to use the second
for seed will do well to give Hardlgan
a trial. Seed is now being produced
under inspection by the Michigan
Crop Improvement Association.
Next in desirability to Grimm and
Hardlgan, are the Ontario 'Variegated
and the LeBeau alfalfa. Ontario Variegated is quite similar in appearance
and hardiness to Grimm and has been
successfully produced in the Province
of Ontario for many years* The
seed is usually moderately priced. Le
Beau alfalfa has a history of nearly

Narrow Escape From
Death  Sunday
Afternoon,
REPORT OF RED CROSS
-       HEALTH WORK
Second Month of Health Work
Closed by County Nurse,
V*-,'.
Allen Wolfe pf Weidman was painfully but not seriously, injured when
the car In which he and Tuff Hampton
were riding, collided with a Pere Mar*
quette freight engine at the McEwan
street crossing late Sunday afternoon. I
M.r. Hampton, who is the son of I.'
E. Hampton, of this city, and the Ford
dealer at Weidman, was driving south
on McEwan. It is claimed by Hampton and Wolfe, that as they approached the crossing, they" saw a man with
a lantern standing in the center of the
street, and thinking him to be a
watchman, Mr. Hampton slowed down
and as the man started towards the
watchman's shanty at the west side of
the crossing, they believed it was safe
to cross, and speeded up the motor.
The locomotive came from the east
and although Hampton set his brakes
and made every effort to stop he was
unable to do so. The car was badly
damaged but, Hampton was unhurt
except for a bruise on his head and
right leg.
When he was transfering his luggage from the damaged car to another
one in order to make the return trip
to his home, be discovered a curved
piece of iron about four inches
square and one half inch thick, which
resembled a piece of the step of the
locomotive and together with the fact
that the wind shield was broken on
the drivers side, would Indicate that
the car struck the locomotive in the
center near the cab, and this piece of
iron being broken from the step
struck Hampton on the head.
There have been several accidents
on this crossing, which is protected
by watchman only between the hours
of 8:00 a. m. and 4:00 p. m. The city
council have petitioned for additional
watchman service, but this far nothing has been done.

CHICKEN SUPPER
The sscond month of the Red Cross
Public Health itinerant service closes
with the following work accomplished.
Visits to schools and homes 74,
Children accompanied to doctor 2.
Children having defects 298.
Children who have had defects corrected 59.
Parent consultation at schools 9.

throat 91, corrected 10; skin 4, corrected 1; goitre 79.
Miss Juve has been able to visit ten
of the rural schools and hopes to get
into s'everal more during the coming
month. This has been accomplished
by the efficient service rendered by
Mrs. A. S. Crigier of Harrison and
Mrs. G. E. Lamb of Farwell In providing ways and means for the transportation of Miss Juve while in their,
vicinity
The classes in "Home Hygiene and
Care of Sick" still continue and are
growing in interest. Miss Juve urges
that all parents having children with
goiters, seek the advise of their family physician and start treatment at
once, as this is a disease that can be
prevented if treatment is started
early enough. If permitted to go on
unchecked, goiter may injure the
mind as well as the body of the boy
and girl in school. It slows normal
growth, and affects the nervous system.
Siuce only a doctor can tell the difference between a simple and a toxic
goiter, it is most important that
iodine be taken only after you have
been examined by your doctor.

JIM'S TOO SMOOTH
FOR THEFIREMEN
Refuses to Answer  Alarm
Wednesday      Evening
When Boys Try to
Surprise Him.
What was perhaps the first time
since he became a member of the
Clare fire department, James Clute refused to answer the alarm on Wednesday evening,
The bell at the city hall rang and of
course everyone Who heard it, thought
there was a call from the country. No
so with Jim, for he had become
suspicious of some preparations at his
home and because It was his 30th
birthday, instead of going with the
truck, he waited until it returned
from a few blocks run and then strolling down to his residence said, "I am
surely surprised at this party you
have arranged.'
It rather appeared that Jim was too
smooth for the boys,
However, they all had a wonderful
time and partook of a great feast.
There was nothing lacking to make
it a complete chicken dinner with all
the trimmings and if an alarm had
been sounded shortly after dinner,
none of the flre laddies or the Mayor
would have been able to answer the
call.
Rev. H. B. Johnson on behalf of the
boys presented Jim with a large comfortable rocker and he responded with
words of appreciation of the boys and
his pleasure at being a member of
such an organization.
The Chief suggests that every man
should have at least two birthday's a
year if they can all be celebrated as
well as Jim's was.

In the departure of William Ross
from this life, Clare loses another of
the very few of the first settlers to
locate in this city,
He was born in the town of Menta,
N. Y., December 9th, 1841, and died
at the home of his daughter, Mi-s.
jbred J. ■ Thompson, Sunday, May
2nd, 1926', aged 84 years, 4 months

He came with his parents to Livingston county, Michigan, from.which
district his father served two terms'
in the   State Legislature.    He< lived ,;
with his parents on the home farm '
until 1872, when he came to Clare as
State Road Superintendent.   At that**
time the main street had only been  f
"logged out"; wolves and deer were '*"'
plentiful  in the woods  around, ^and ',-
were often seen in the    town;  and"
there were    but    three   merchantile
establishments.    His  brother  owned *
one of these, a general    store,   and  "
here he worked, while he   erected   a
building for himself.
He first started a flour and ieed
store, and three years later .began
the sale of general merchandise in a
building located on the corner now
occupied by tho Citizens State Bank
building, continuing in that business
until 1894.
He was married June 1, 1865, at
Hartland, Livingston county, to Miss
