Harrison's Sportsmen's Efforts Bring Four Hundred
Bass to Their Waters.
FORMER CLAREITES
PICNIC AT LANSING
D. E. Alward Elected as President for the Ensuing Year.
*
The, alertness and activity of the
sportsmens club of Harrison, was rewarded last Saturday evening when
four hundred bass, measuring 2rom
ten to sixteen inches In length, and
ready to spawn were planted in the
waters of Budd lake.
Fish Warden d L. Wieber, of Cheboygan, was enroute with a Conservation department truck, from that
city to Portage lake in Washtenaw
county, and while on M-14 near the
Long lake store, the rear axle of the
truck broke. He called B. F. Hampton of Harrison, who when he learned that it was a truck loaded with fish
that needed assistance, notified the
• Officers of the local sportsmens club,
and they went with him' to help get
the truck to the -garage for repairs.
Mr. Wieber informed them that if
there was* to be a delay of any considerable length, the fish would have to be
placed in a lake nearby* The Harrison sportsmen convinced Mr. Wieber
that Budd lake should receive them,
and the truck was towed to Harrison,
-where representatives of the club
planted the fish.
■They were placed in the.southend
of the lake and that section has been
Closed temporarily to fishing, in
order that these fish may have * the
chance to spawn.
It is* estimated that the spawn
from these four hundred fish will
equal the output of a state fish
hatchery, for qne year, and the expense of that institution would be
about $20,000.
It is fortunate for the work of tbe
Conservation department that these
fish could be placed in Budd lake, as
•this is a natural breeding ground for
bass and there is an abundance of
feed for this kind of fish.
The people of Harrison and the
County also will appreciate this very
touch, as Budd lake is no doubt more
heavily fished than any other lake in
the county, because of the thousands
of tourists who come to enjoy the
beauties of "Wiilson state park.
In spite of the fact that.-cain fell
Sunday last, a big crowd or men,
women and children, present and
former citizens of Clare, gathered at
Potter Park, Lansing, and held a delightful .reunion. There were present,
people from Detroit, Flint, • Hastings,
Clare, Lansing and; many other clues.
This is an annual affair- always neid

FREE CHEST CLINIC
TO BE HELD SOON
Local Health Committee-to
Assist State Workers
in Cause.
A free chest clinic open to any
resident of Clare county is announced to be held at the City at an early
date. At this time an opportunity
will be offered entirely without
charge for a thorough chest examination by a physician long skilled in
chest work. The clinic is for diagnostic purposes only, for treatment
patients are recommended to their
familyphysfcian. The clinic which is
one of a series arranged by the Michigan Tuberculosis Association to cover most of the counties in this section
of the state is financed by the Michigan Tuberculosis Association in cooperation with the local Association.
Miss Laura Bauch, director of
clinics for the Michigan Tuberculosis
Association, is already on the ground
making arrangements for the clinics,
She declares that Tuberculosis is preventable and curable. "The earlier it
is, discovered," she say, "the greater
the chance of cure." "So it ist especially important," she states-, "that the
early case be found. While the percentage of cures is lower for the more
advanced case, yet they too are curable and discovery of these cases
makes possible protection for* others,
so these too must be found."
Miss Bauch especially urges those
who have lived in contact with a case
of tuberculosis to be on guard against
it, and to come to the clinic for examination. She urges that those who
have the symptoms of tuberculosis, a
persistent and unreasonable languor,
a sudden loss ,of weight or a fever oc-
curing in the afternoon or evening,
take advantage of this opportunity for
a thorough chest examination.
Any one interested in this great
cause knowing of persons needing
held kindly notify Mrs. Wm. H. Caple
or Mrs. J. Peirsqn members of the
local healt£ committee'
GREEN WILL SPEAK
IN CLARE COUNTY
Will Address Mass Meeting in
Clare City Park August
Twenty-first.
Representatives of Clare County's
Green-for-GoVernor Club last Saturday
visited Green's Headquarters at
Ionia, Mich, and were given .assurance
that Mr. Green personally would visit
Clare county August 21st. Tentative
arrangements call for an address by
Mr. Green at the City Park in Clare
at 8:00 o'clock in the evening on Saturday, August 21st.
Clare County's Green-for-Governor
Club has now almost its quota of
committee members, practically every
township in the county and each ward
in the cities being represented.
Owing to the fact-, that Green's
speaking schedule called for almost
the entire month of August to be
spent in Wayne and other of the
larger counties in the state, Green
boosters in Clare county are much
gratified to learn that Mr. Green has
accepted the Green-Boosters Club's
invitation to come here.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD.
A city with a clean, well lighted
main street and attractive up-to-date
stores, is always a credit to its inhabitants and it is the general comment
of all the tourists and traveling public
who visit Glare, that this is the best
looking town they have seen In this
part'of the state.
We, in Clare should endeavor to
keep that reputation, 'but it is well
for us to remember that a city beautiful, "must not only have clean streets
and attractive stores, but there should
also be, well kept lawns and clean
back yards, and What is perhaps most
important to the beauty and health
of any community, clean alleys, .
The alleys of Clare might be greatly improved upon* and that without
a great deal of expense to any one. A
word to the Wise is always sufficient.
Watch for rtimjaage sale.

berry fields are dried up. We have

" PUBLICITY
Two Local Business Concerns Give Full Support
by Use of Mailing Lists
The Clare merchants and manufacturers realize the value of newspaper
and direct advertising and are very
liberal in their use of printers ink.
When the city fire fighters,*whp are
to stage the big celebration on Wednesday, August I8h, began casting
about to find some method of distributing the hand bills announcing that
event, they were reminded that the
William H. Bicknell company were
having a large issue of circulars
printed, which would be mailed direct
to ten thousand five hundred homes
over a territory that covered a part
of ten counties.
The solution for their 'problem was
then easy, for this very accommodating business house enclosed a celebration bill in each circular, and
representatives of Uncle Sam placed
them in the mail boxes of his patrons
all over this vast terriory.
The Clare Manufacturing company,
thus far this year has mailed twelve
thousand pieces of advertising, and
each envelope used has carried on the.
back of it a message from the Clare
County Tourist Association, setting
forth the value of Clare county as a
tourist, camper, and summer home
owners paradise.
These two incidents are illustrations of the regular advertlseing
methods -being used for a specific
purpose, and it meant a real saving
to the firemens committee and the
county tourist association, but it
might be well for all of the people
of our city and the business man In
particular, to consider* the value of
the 'regular advertising done by our
progressive merchants, and especially
the direct advertising done by Blck-
nells and Davys for there is no question of the tremendous volume of
business this brings to. every store
in our city.

This five piece orchestra using fifteen different instruments played at
the Casino, located at Daytona Beach,

CITY WATER USERS
. ; SHOULD BE ECONOMICAL
The work of renewing the screen
points of the city wells at the pumping station is progressing as rapidly
as possible, but with the most favorable conditions and success, there are
from one to two of the five six inch
wells out of commission all of the
time.
There is no shortage of water underground, but having two wells out
of commission, cuts down the supply
of water available, and all of our
citizens should be as" economical as
possible in their use of water until
the repair work is -completed.

"Why should our tears in sorrow flow-
When God calls home His own,
And bids them leave a world of woe,
For an Immortal crown?
"Their toils are past, 'their work is
done;
And they are fully blest.
They fought the fight, the victory won
And entered into rest.
"Then let our sorrows-fcease to flow,
God has recalled His own;
But let our hearts in every woe
Still say, "Thy will be done."

FORMER CLAREITES PICNIC AT LANSING D. E. Alward Elected as President for the Ensuing Year. * The, alertness and activity of the sportsmens club of Harrison, was rewarded last Saturday evening when four hundred bass, measuring 2rom ten to sixteen inches In length, and ready to spawn were planted in the waters of Budd lake. Fish Warden d L. Wieber, of Cheboygan, was enroute with a Conservation department truck, from that city to Portage lake in Washtenaw county, and while on M-14 near the Long lake store, the rear axle of the truck broke. He called B. F. Hampton of Harrison, who when he learned that it was a truck loaded with fish that needed assistance, notified the • Officers of the local sportsmens club, and they went with him' to help get the truck to the -garage for repairs. Mr. Wieber informed them that if there was* to be a delay of any considerable length, the fish would have to be placed in a lake nearby* The Harrison sportsmen convinced Mr. Wieber that Budd lake should receive them, and the truck was towed to Harrison, -where representatives of the club planted the fish. ■They were placed in the.southend of the lake and that section has been Closed temporarily to fishing, in order that these fish may have * the chance to spawn. It is* estimated that the spawn from these four hundred fish will equal the output of a state fish hatchery, for qne year, and the expense of that institution would be about $20,000. It is fortunate for the work of tbe Conservation department that these fish could be placed in Budd lake, as •this is a natural breeding ground for bass and there is an abundance of feed for this kind of fish. The people of Harrison and the County also will appreciate this very touch, as Budd lake is no doubt more heavily fished than any other lake in the county, because of the thousands of tourists who come to enjoy the beauties of "Wiilson state park. In spite of the fact that.-cain fell Sunday last, a big crowd or men, women and children, present and former citizens of Clare, gathered at Potter Park, Lansing, and held a delightful .reunion.

A free chest clinic open to any resident of Clare county is announced to be held at the City at an early date. At this time an opportunity will be offered entirely without charge for a thorough chest examination by a physician long skilled in chest work. The clinic is for diagnostic purposes only, for treatment patients are recommended to their familyphysfcian. The clinic which is one of a series arranged by the Michigan Tuberculosis Association to cover most of the counties in this section of the state is financed by the Michigan Tuberculosis Association in cooperation with the local Association. Miss Laura Bauch, director of clinics for the Michigan Tuberculosis Association, is already on the ground making arrangements for the clinics, She declares that Tuberculosis is preventable and curable. "The earlier it is, discovered" she say, "the greater the chance of cure." "So it ist especially important" she states-, "that the early case be found. While the percentage of cures is lower for the more advanced case, yet they too are curable and discovery of these cases makes possible protection for* others, so these too must be found." Miss Bauch especially urges those who have lived in contact with a case of tuberculosis to be on guard against it, and to come to the clinic for examination. She urges that those who have the symptoms of tuberculosis, a persistent and unreasonable languor, a sudden loss ,of weight or a fever oc- curing in the afternoon or evening, take advantage of this opportunity for a thorough chest examination. Any one interested in this great cause knowing of persons needing held kindly notify Mrs. Wm. H. Caple or Mrs. J.

Clare County's Green-for-Governor Club has now almost its quota of committee members, practically every township in the county and each ward in the cities being represented. Owing to the fact-, that Green's speaking schedule called for almost the entire month of August to be spent in Wayne and other of the larger counties in the state, Green boosters in Clare county are much gratified to learn that Mr. Green has accepted the Green-Boosters Club's invitation to come here. TO HAVE AND TO HOLD. A city with a clean, well lighted main street and attractive up-to-date stores, is always a credit to its inhabitants and it is the general comment of all the tourists and traveling public who visit Glare, that this is the best looking town they have seen In this part'of the state. We, in Clare should endeavor to keep that reputation, 'but it is well for us to remember that a city beautiful, "must not only have clean streets and attractive stores, but there should also be, well kept lawns and clean back yards, and What is perhaps most important to the beauty and health of any community, clean alleys, . The alleys of Clare might be greatly improved upon* and that without a great deal of expense to any one. A word to the Wise is always sufficient. Watch for rtimjaage sale. Notice Contrary to current rumorff that all berry fields are dried up. We have seven acres of the best Red Raspberries we ever* picked. Same price as last year, order your supply hOw.

When the city fire fighters,*whp are to stage the big celebration on Wednesday, August I8h, began casting about to find some method of distributing the hand bills announcing that event, they were reminded that the William H. Bicknell company were having a large issue of circulars printed, which would be mailed direct to ten thousand five hundred homes over a territory that covered a part of ten counties. The solution for their 'problem was then easy, for this very accommodating business house enclosed a celebration bill in each circular, and representatives of Uncle Sam placed them in the mail boxes of his patrons all over this vast terriory. The Clare Manufacturing company, thus far this year has mailed twelve thousand pieces of advertising, and each envelope used has carried on the. back of it a message from the Clare County Tourist Association, setting forth the value of Clare county as a tourist, camper, and summer home owners paradise. These two incidents are illustrations of the regular advertlseing methods -being used for a specific purpose, and it meant a real saving to the firemens committee and the county tourist association, but it might be well for all of the people of our city and the business man In particular, to consider* the value of the 'regular advertising done by our progressive merchants, and especially the direct advertising done by Blck- nells and Davys for there is no question of the tremendous volume of business this brings to. every store in our city.

Ray Walling, proprietor of the Houghton Heights pavilion, is fortunate in being able to secure the services of such a skilled group of players. CITY WATER USERS . ; SHOULD BE ECONOMICAL The work of renewing the screen points of the city wells at the pumping station is progressing as rapidly as possible, but with the most favorable conditions and success, there are from one to two of the five six inch wells out of commission all of the time. There is no shortage of water underground, but having two wells out of commission, cuts down the supply of water available, and all of our citizens should be as" economical as possible in their use of water until the repair work is -completed.
