FRED W. GREEN AT-
TRACTSLARGECROWD
Pleasing Address is Well
Received by Many Hundreds of People Who
Gathered at City Park
Saturday Evening.
Last Saturday was "Green" day at
Clare, when loyal supporters of
Mayor Green's candidacy for the Republican nomination for gdvernor,
from every part of tenth Congressional district, came to this city to attend
the dinner given In his honor at the
Hotel Doherty, and pledge anew their
support to his campaign.
While the excellent dinner • was
being served"at six* o'clock in theban-
fluet hall of the hotel, the guests at
the-tables were delightfully entertained by Professor Edgar Peterson at
the, piano.
Attorney T. Carl Holbrook, as
Chairman «of the county Cfreen-for-
GQVernor club introduced Mayor Fred
W. Green, of Ionia.
Mr. Green expressed his appreciation of the cordial reception given him
in*Clare, and said lie had realized
more than ever before the -worth and
patrOitism of the-people of the state
of Michigan, as during the past few
weeks of the campaign, he has traveled 20,000 miles, visiting 80 counties
out of the 83 in the state, and speaking in as. many as 10 towns in one
day.
* In his brief address, he pleaded for
clean politics, and a knowledge of our
laws and institution^," so that when
we shall turn our government over to
our boys and girls it shall be just a
little better than when, we took it
over from our fathers.,
■After a selection by the Evart
hand, the meeting adjourned, and all
•went to the city park, where a great
cro^d had gathered,
" After several selections by the Community band of Evart, an organization of which that village may justly
feel proud, Mr, Holbrook introduced
Mayor L. H. Thompson, of Clare, who.
in behalf of the officials and citizens,
welcomed the Mayor and others to
our city-
Postmaster Homer Buck, of Bay
City, in a brief but enthusiastic address predicted a victory for Green at
the primaries. He referred to him as
'•A man who stands by the people."
in introducing Mr. Green, Chairman Holbrook referred to the Ionia
free fair which had been so successful and was so well known throughout the state.
Mr. Green gave the history of this
fair, and said he was prompted to
take down the fences and do away
with admission fees, because of his
desire-to have the people enjoy themselves even if they did not have much
of this worlds goods. He said that
tnis fair during the past 12 years had
helped to work out many of their
common problems, and he believed
that the people of the state of Michigan should have the privilege of enjoying the fair at Detroit which they
pay for.
Mr. Green said: "I will not indulge
in mud slinging or personalities during this campaign," My people in
Ionia like me, and I want to conduct
my campaign in such a manner, that
1 can look them in the face without
shame,
He paid tribute to the men who
wrote the Constitution of the United
States, but said; "We have gone
away from the moorings of our forefathers. They gave us government
hy the people but we have a clause in
the law creating the -administrative
iBoard which says, "that no action of
the Board shall have any effect unless signed in writing by the Governor. This makes it a one man government,"
"I don't belive in roads being
promised promiscuously or promised
for votes." I know of nothing more
humiliating than for a group-of business men to go to Lansing and promise votes in exchange for roads. No
man knows today what the road program of Michigan is. There have
been promises and more promises
and less roads constructed today
than any time since you voted the
fifty million dollar bond issue, but*
about primary time, there will be
more gravel thrown, than ever before
in the history of Michigan,"
He stated that the state treasurer
gets his reports from the governor's
private accounting department, and
frequently when certain funds are
overdrawn, they reach into the general fund to make it up, and then two
days later, after the reports are ^Iven
oat, it is returned to the general fund.
Mr. Green said, that the governor
Md stated that when as County Road
Commissioner in Ionia, he had never
built any roads, but that was untrue,
for he had always "been a good roads
advocate and Worked for good roads
long before. Mr. Groesbeck was interested in roads.
He said he "built roads with "Good
"ft^ads Earie-" and the first mile of
concrete highway .. built between
^frand Rapids ami Detroit Was built

NATURE'S HANDIWORK
CAN BE VIEWED FROM
NEW FIRE TOWER
State Completes Erection ot
Sixty-three' Foot OBservajion
Tower on Highest Windover Hill,
By H. B. Johnson
Those who admire nature's handiwork may have the opportunity of
viewing what is perhaps the most interesting section of Clare county, if
such lover of the out of doors will
take the trouble to drive west of Lake
George on the Windover lake road,
and then tramp over the trail to the
highest of the Windover hills, where
the State Conservation department
has erected a sixty-three foot fire observation tower.
From the top of this tower there
'spreads out before one on all sides a
view, rare and beautiful, excelled only
by the scenery visible from the
heights of great mountains.
Stretching aWay for miles as far as
the eye can see are the hills, vales
and plains, covered with the green of
the oak, poplar and birch, while here
and there the darker foliage of the
spruce and tamarack reminds one of
the primevial forests, except that
occasionally a residence, barn' or
school house may be seen.
Almost at your feet is the Windover
lake resort, just a portion of the roof
of the club house being visible
through the trees that surround It,
and Windover and Grass lakes In
their settings of forest covered shores,
beautiful^ beyond description.
There are the pine crowned hills of
the Windover golf course, Which now
resembles a green- cai*pet of velvet,
broken only by the circular spots
which are the sand greens of the
course. *
DOc and Tom, Silver, Norway, Dollar and^ other lakes, thirteen in all,
are visible-each looking like molten
Silver glistening in the sunlight, While
here and there are the threads of silver, which shows the location of trout
streams.
Away to the north ar the Houghton
lake heights, while to the West are to
be seen the streets of EVart.
One Who had just descended from
this tower said, "If one wishes to See
a map of the county'and realize its
beauty, they should go to the top of
this towe*.** c
CLARE BOY SCOUT-
HAVE FINE TIME
Spend Two .Weeks With Saginaw Scouts at Camp Rotary.
Enjdy Instruction jFeriod.
Some of the Clare Boy Scouts
spent two weeks with the Saginaw
Boy Scouts, at Camp Rotary, nine
miles north of Clare.
The program for each day gives ua
plenty of work, play, and study. Re-;
veille is blown by the bugler at six
thirty in the morning, at which time
we all run out in our night clothes
and line up in front of our tents. As
soon as we are in position our tent
leader salutes the troop leader, who
in turn salutes the senior officer in
charge. The flrst troop that salutes
the officer wins the line up.
After the line up. we go out on the
parade ground, and take our setting
UP exercises, which Is followed by a
dip In the lake and dressing.
At seven o'clock, breakfast is
ready, and So are we. The boys of
each tent have a separate table of
their own, and the tent leader appoints two boys to wait on the table
and wash dishes for three" meals and
then a new,crew goes on.
After breakfast, all but the dishwashers go to their tents and prepare
them selves for inspection. At nine
o'clock, another line Up is called,
from which we go to our classes to
study and pass tests, so as to become
better scouts. This is called the instruction period.
Eleven o'clock is the time we all go
In swimming, and Buck Samson, the
big tall fellow who took so many
prizes in tho street sports at the Firemen's celebration, teaches us some of
the fine points in swimming. Boy'
hut he can swim.
Eleven-thirty, everybody is out of
the water to get ready for tent inspection. In about five minutes, the
officers come around and inspect the
tents, and a ribbon is awarded to the
one that is the cleanest and neatest.
At twelve o'clock we all line up and
go to dinner. All of our meals are
served in the new mess hall and cooked by one who was a chef in Uncle
Sam's army.
The first two hours after dinner,
we are supposed to rest, after which
comes the special features, such as
games and stunts in the woods.
At four o'clock there is another
swimming period, after which we
prepare for personal inspection. At
this time we must be at our best, as
points are taken off for. dirty hands,
fingernails, neck, ears, and teeth, also for soiled clothing, and the absence of a button.
After inspection, we drill before
the officers and receive general instructions and announcements. Then
we line Up before the flag and repeat
the scout oath, which is as follows:
"On my honor I will do my best to do
my duty to God and my country, and
obey the scout law. To help other
people at all times. To keep myself
physicially strong, mentally awake,
and morally straight."
Then, at tlie ring of a cannon and
the blowing of the bugle, the flag is
saluted and lowered for the day.
At six o'clock, we feed again, and
then have Special entertainment such
as base ball, pitching horseshoes, and
other games.
Then comes the camp fire, at which
time the officers tell us inspiring,
humorous and ghost stories. At nine
o'clock, .taps is blown, and not another word is supposed to be said until reveille in the morning.
Once a week we have an over night
hike, which is walking several miles,
pitching our pup tents and staying
there all night and returning to camp
ihe next day. The first week we went
io Budd lake, and last week we came
to the tourist camp at Clare so we
could take in the Firemen's celebration.
Every boy in camp has used us like
brothers and. the officers have been
very patient with us, and we "wish to
thank them for all they have taught
us, and we hope we can all meet at
the same camp nefxt summer.
Thomas Horton.
Troop scribe.

IMPORTANT REAL
ESTATE DEAL MADE
Detroit Firm Purchases Doc
and Tom Lake and One
Thousand Acres
of Land.
One of. the most important resort
real estate transactions in Clare
county, in recent years has just been
completed by the S. M. Callihan real
estate agency, when they sold to
Robert Musgrave and Nathaniel
Smith, Kelly Springfield dealers of Detroit, the Doc and Tom ranch, including the lake, just one thousand jacrefl
in all.
Doc and Tom is a name known t»
all sportsmen who have ever made al
pilgrimage to Clare county to hunt or
fish. ...-''•:
A sixty acre' lake of spring water,
where the muskies live, a thirty-five
pounder being taken there two years
ago, and where the large blue gills
abound, has become famous among the
1'OUowers of Isaac Walton throughout
this part of the state.
To reach this beautiful lake, one'
must travel by a sand trail, over land
covered with birch and popular, and"
through swamps with their thick
growth of tamarack, spruce, balsam*
and cedar. : , " :■ *j
Not many years ago it was not at
all unusual for the ambitious lover of
the out-of-doors, to abandon.his.a,uto- -
mobile and hike through the semi*'
wilderness, to see a "deer browsing,
while rabbits and partridges, are.jyejt-
very plentiful everywhere.
At. one end of the lake is a duck
marsh of considerable area, -where
the ducks come in great numberR3Sju
the fall, to feed on the wild rice
which grows there.
Two inlets and one outlet are'well
stocked with the gainey rainbow and
speckled beauties.
There are no habitations^ near by
except the ranch house which Stands
near the shore of the lake in „the center of the forty acre clearing. . —
The purchasers have made no statements regarding their plans, but It is
expected that this is to become tt[
private hunting and fishing preserve,
with a golf course laid out on this
clearing.
Certain if is, that this is one of the
many choice habitats for game in this
county, and beautiful it will be, as*
long as its natural enemy, lire can he'
kept out of our woods.

Established 1878 CLARE, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 27,1926 New Series Vol. 34, No. 44 gWH-M JW, i ^ FRED W. GREEN AT- TRACTSLARGECROWD Pleasing Address is Well Received by Many Hundreds of People Who Gathered at City Park Saturday Evening. Last Saturday was "Green" day at Clare, when loyal supporters of Mayor Green's candidacy for the Republican nomination for gdvernor, from every part of tenth Congressional district, came to this city to attend the dinner given In his honor at the Hotel Doherty, and pledge anew their support to his campaign. While the excellent dinner • was being served"at six* o'clock in theban- fluet hall of the hotel, the guests at the-tables were delightfully entertained by Professor Edgar Peterson at the, piano. Attorney T. Carl Holbrook, as Chairman «of the county Cfreen-for- GQVernor club introduced Mayor Fred W. Green, of Ionia. Mr. Green expressed his appreciation of the cordial reception given him in*Clare, and said lie had realized more than ever before the -worth and patrOitism of the-people of the state of Michigan, as during the past few weeks of the campaign, he has traveled 20,000 miles, visiting 80 counties out of the 83 in the state, and speaking in as. many as 10 towns in one day. * In his brief address, he pleaded for clean politics, and a knowledge of our laws and institution^" so that when we shall turn our government over to our boys and girls it shall be just a little better than when, we took it over from our fathers., ■After a selection by the Evart hand, the meeting adjourned, and all •went to the city park, where a great cro^d had gathered, " After several selections by the Community band of Evart, an organization of which that village may justly feel proud, Mr, Holbrook introduced Mayor L. H. Thompson, of Clare, who. in behalf of the officials and citizens, welcomed the Mayor and others to our city- Postmaster Homer Buck, of Bay City, in a brief but enthusiastic address predicted a victory for Green at the primaries. He referred to him as '•A man who stands by the people." in introducing Mr. Green, Chairman Holbrook referred to the Ionia free fair which had been so successful and was so well known throughout the state. Mr. Green gave the history of this fair, and said he was prompted to take down the fences and do away with admission fees, because of his desire-to have the people enjoy themselves even if they did not have much of this worlds goods. He said that tnis fair during the past 12 years had helped to work out many of their common problems, and he believed that the people of the state of Michigan should have the privilege of enjoying the fair at Detroit which they pay for. Mr. Green said: "I will not indulge in mud slinging or personalities during this campaign" My people in Ionia like me, and I want to conduct my campaign in such a manner, that 1 can look them in the face without shame, He paid tribute to the men who wrote the Constitution of the United States, but said; "We have gone away from the moorings of our forefathers. They gave us government hy the people but we have a clause in the law creating the -administrative iBoard which says, "that no action of the Board shall have any effect unless signed in writing by the Governor. This makes it a one man government" "I don't belive in roads being promised promiscuously or promised for votes." I know of nothing more humiliating than for a group-of business men to go to Lansing and promise votes in exchange for roads. No man knows today what the road program of Michigan is. There have been promises and more promises and less roads constructed today than any time since you voted the fifty million dollar bond issue, but* about primary time, there will be more gravel thrown, than ever before in the history of Michigan" He stated that the state treasurer gets his reports from the governor's private accounting department, and frequently when certain funds are overdrawn, they reach into the general fund to make it up, and then two days later, after the reports are ^Iven oat, it is returned to the general fund. Mr. Green said, that the governor Md stated that when as County Road Commissioner in Ionia, he had never built any roads, but that was untrue, for he had always "been a good roads advocate and Worked for good roads long before. Mr. Groesbeck was interested in roads. He said he "built roads with "Good "ft^ads Earie-" and the first mile of concrete highway .. built between ^frand Rapids ami Detroit Was built (Continuedohpage tFour) CLUB WINNERS TO GO TO STATE FAIR Eighty-Eight Club Teams and* Leaders to Compete For Higher Honors at Detroit Winners of demonstration and judging contests from three.

NATURE'S HANDIWORK CAN BE VIEWED FROM NEW FIRE TOWER State Completes Erection ot Sixty-three' Foot OBservajion Tower on Highest Windover Hill, By H. B. Johnson Those who admire nature's handiwork may have the opportunity of viewing what is perhaps the most interesting section of Clare county, if such lover of the out of doors will take the trouble to drive west of Lake George on the Windover lake road, and then tramp over the trail to the highest of the Windover hills, where the State Conservation department has erected a sixty-three foot fire observation tower. From the top of this tower there 'spreads out before one on all sides a view, rare and beautiful, excelled only by the scenery visible from the heights of great mountains. Stretching aWay for miles as far as the eye can see are the hills, vales and plains, covered with the green of the oak, poplar and birch, while here and there the darker foliage of the spruce and tamarack reminds one of the primevial forests, except that occasionally a residence, barn' or school house may be seen. Almost at your feet is the Windover lake resort, just a portion of the roof of the club house being visible through the trees that surround It, and Windover and Grass lakes In their settings of forest covered shores, beautiful^ beyond description. There are the pine crowned hills of the Windover golf course, Which now resembles a green- cai*pet of velvet, broken only by the circular spots which are the sand greens of the course. * DOc and Tom, Silver, Norway, Dollar and^ other lakes, thirteen in all, are visible-each looking like molten Silver glistening in the sunlight, While here and there are the threads of silver, which shows the location of trout streams. Away to the north ar the Houghton lake heights, while to the West are to be seen the streets of EVart. One Who had just descended from this tower said, "If one wishes to See a map of the county'and realize its beauty, they should go to the top of this towe*.** c CLARE BOY SCOUT- HAVE FINE TIME Spend Two .Weeks With Saginaw Scouts at Camp Rotary. Enjdy Instruction jFeriod. Some of the Clare Boy Scouts spent two weeks with the Saginaw Boy Scouts, at Camp Rotary, nine miles north of Clare. The program for each day gives ua plenty of work, play, and study. Re-; veille is blown by the bugler at six thirty in the morning, at which time we all run out in our night clothes and line up in front of our tents. As soon as we are in position our tent leader salutes the troop leader, who in turn salutes the senior officer in charge. The flrst troop that salutes the officer wins the line up. After the line up. we go out on the parade ground, and take our setting UP exercises, which Is followed by a dip In the lake and dressing. At seven o'clock, breakfast is ready, and So are we. The boys of each tent have a separate table of their own, and the tent leader appoints two boys to wait on the table and wash dishes for three" meals and then a new,crew goes on. After breakfast, all but the dishwashers go to their tents and prepare them selves for inspection. At nine o'clock, another line Up is called, from which we go to our classes to study and pass tests, so as to become better scouts. This is called the instruction period. Eleven o'clock is the time we all go In swimming, and Buck Samson, the big tall fellow who took so many prizes in tho street sports at the Firemen's celebration, teaches us some of the fine points in swimming. Boy' hut he can swim. Eleven-thirty, everybody is out of the water to get ready for tent inspection. In about five minutes, the officers come around and inspect the tents, and a ribbon is awarded to the one that is the cleanest and neatest. At twelve o'clock we all line up and go to dinner. All of our meals are served in the new mess hall and cooked by one who was a chef in Uncle Sam's army. The first two hours after dinner, we are supposed to rest, after which comes the special features, such as games and stunts in the woods. At four o'clock there is another swimming period, after which we prepare for personal inspection. At this time we must be at our best, as points are taken off for. dirty hands, fingernails, neck, ears, and teeth, also for soiled clothing, and the absence of a button. After inspection, we drill before the officers and receive general instructions and announcements. Then we line Up before the flag and repeat the scout oath, which is as follows: "On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country, and obey the scout law. To help other people at all times. To keep myself physicially strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." Then, at tlie ring of a cannon and the blowing of the bugle, the flag is saluted and lowered for the day. At six o'clock, we feed again, and then have Special entertainment such as base ball, pitching horseshoes, and other games. Then comes the camp fire, at which time the officers tell us inspiring, humorous and ghost stories. At nine o'clock, .taps is blown, and not another word is supposed to be said until reveille in the morning. Once a week we have an over night hike, which is walking several miles, pitching our pup tents and staying there all night and returning to camp ihe next day. The first week we went io Budd lake, and last week we came to the tourist camp at Clare so we could take in the Firemen's celebration. Every boy in camp has used us like brothers and. the officers have been very patient with us, and we "wish to thank them for all they have taught us, and we hope we can all meet at the same camp nefxt summer.
