DO WE APPRECIATE
BEAUTIES «F
. 'CLARE COUNTY
Scenes Common, to- Local People Are Real Pictures to the
, Many Tourists That
• fass, Through.
. By H.'B, Johnson ;
The articles which have been" printed in the Sentinel during the'past few
weeks were -written, with the hope
'.that the enthusiasm of the readers
might be aroused to the extent of "real
appreciation of the county in which
*we Jive. *
Fertile .fields, and -comfortable
homes, a moral, law abiding people,
kind and hospitable, -working together
for the common interest and good of
all, would seem to make an ideal
county, but we,; in Clare county, can
boast of all 'this and more, for our
lakes, forests, streams, hills and
vales, provide scenic beauty unsurpassed anywhere In this great state of
ours.
But to appreciate these thirigs
which nature has so lavishly bestowed
upon Clare county, -we must have a
'sense of the beautiful within us, that
responds to the beautiful around us.
The writer was priveleged to be one
Of a party ^n board -a boat -passing
the pictured rocks of the upper
peninsular, and for several days previous, the Captain had been telling us
what pictuues -we might expect to see,
and relating to us, the Indian legends
connected with this part of Michigan,
being thus prepared, it required no
great stretch of imagination to see the
inverted forest, the sky line of Detroit, the Indian maiden, the'herd of
buffalo wending ftieir way down the
hill to the water hole and many other
wonderful pictures.
All were enthusiastic except one
man in the party, who, as we were
just passing the grand portals, and entering the harbor of Munising, said:
"I don't know why anyone should get
excited about that, all I could see was
weatherbeaten "rocks."
_ Driving from the north on M-14,
over the hilis and around the curves,
the road fringed on each side with the
beautiful green of the oaks, mingled
with the darker foliage of the spruce,
cedar and tamarack, past the summer
homes at the Kleman Corners, suddenly, at the crest of James hills,
there comes into view, the basin of the
Tobacco Tiver. .
Stretching away to the south as far
as the' eye can see, is some of the
best farm land in the state, the rolling
fields broken only by an .occasional
wood Iot,.and the spacious barns and
farm homes, making a view unexcelled
except in the mountain Country.
And yet, matfy of our citizens drive
down this hill with scarcely a glance
at this charming scene.

ARK FIRE
Lightning Ignites Frame
Shelter at End of Container and Causes Danger*-
ous Blazer. .
The citizens* of Clare had reason to
be grateful early Wednesday morning, for the efficient and fearless fire
department which we have.
During the storm of early Wednesday morning, lightning struck the
frame shelter at the west end of the
Clare Oil Company's kerosene storage
tank, which is located on the south
side of the P, M.'railroad tracks.
The building was ignited, and at
the same time the light current Vas
affected, and the city was plunged into darkness. The current being off,
the siren fire alarm was out of commission and the only method of giving the alarm was the fire bell at the
city hall, which was rung by the* members of the election board, who were
still in session.
It took the fire fighters just five
minutes to get to the scene of the fire,
but the end of the seven thousand
gallon tank, which, was about one
fourth full, and the pipes leading from
it were red hot.
In the face of explosion danger, our
boys rati the truck near enough to use
the chemicals, and soon had the'fire
.extinguished.
Had this tank exploded there would
be no telling what the damage would
hat-e been to the property for-blocks
arbund.
APPRECIATION.
I wish to- extend rdy thanks and appreciation „to the voters of Clare
county who were so loyal in supporting me in the recent primary election.,
I assure you that your trust *in me
shall never be misplaced.
Youre vefcjr respectfully,

Thieves Gain
Prying Open Rear Win
dow of Thompson &
» Wilkinson [Store.
A -new Willys-Knight model seventy
four-door sedan was stolen from the
Thompson *& Wilkinson Implement
store on west Fourth street last week
Thursday night, and the money in the
cash drawer, amounting to about fifteen dollars was also taken.
Mr. .Wilkinson had driven 'the car
into the storage room about nine-
thirty, and carefully locked all the
doors. When he opened the store on
Friday morning and found the car
gone. He at once came to the conclusion that his partner had taken the
car for an early morning drive or to
demonstrate it, so the theft -was not
discovered until about eight o'clock,
thus giving the thieves plenty of time
to make their get away. The gasoline
tank on^he car was nearly, full of*
gasoline, so it would not be necessary
for him to 'stop short -of one hundred
miles to obtain fuel.
The thief obtained entrance by prying up one of the rear windows of the
store and' it "was then' an easy matter
for him to remove the brace' which
held the. large double doors?
Allen Crum reported that when
driving to the Texaco station about
midnight', he barely avoided a collision,, at the corner of West Fourth and
Beech streets, with a ' new Willys-
Knight car occupied by two men and
being driven without " lights. The
Overland dealers all over the country
were at once notified and it may be
possible that the car may thus be recovered.
HAS HIP BADLY CRUSHED
IN AUTO WRECK
M. J. Butterfield Seriously Injured South of Beaverton
Wednesday flight When
Car Goes Into Ditch,
M. J. Butterfield, owner and manager of the Cider mill at Clare, suffered a fractured hip and was otherwise injured; when the automobile he*
was driving left the road, and turned
turtle in the ditch, about nine miles
south of Beaverton, late Wednesday
night.,
, Mr. Butterfield and A. E. Powers of
this city had been in attendance at
the Saginaw fair all the week where
they had a cider selling concession,
and they were returning to the mill
at Clare for supplies, Mr. Powers
driving his light Ford truck, and Mr.
Butterfield following With the Overland touring car.
At the junction of M-18 near Sanford, by mistake, they turned on that
trunk line, and when- about nine miles
south of Beaverton, the car Mr. Butterfield was driving left the road.
Because of the intense 'pain which
he was suffering, and his weakened
■physical conditions, Mr. Butterfield
was unable to explain very little as
to how "the accident occurred, but
evidently it was little short of a miracle that he was not killed, as he was
pinned under the car when Mr.*
Powers came to his assistance.
'Help was secured, and Mr. Butterfield was first taken* to Beaverton,
and la.ter in the night brought to a
room at the Hotel Thompson, where
he" was made as comfortable as possible by Dr. W. F. Clute, and taken to
Alma in the Doherty ambulance
Thursday forenoon. " "

MANY PRETTY FLOWER
GARDENS IN EVIDENCE
Brewer Farm Has Exceptionally
One With All the Different .
Varieties and Colors,
The residents of our city, who tafte
pride in their well kept lawns and
bower gardens, would do well to visit
some of the farm homes in.the vicinity of Clare, for our farmer friends
evidently spend considerable time in
caring for their lawns and the growing of flowers, *•
A great many comments on the exceptionally beautiful gardens, have
been made by people who travel our
main highways. *
One of the most beautiful of these
flower gardens is to be found at the
M. E. Brewer home, south ahd east of
the city, where Mrs. Lena Brewer and
Miss Edith „ Brewer modestly admit
they are the caretakers of this section of the farm.
It is an old fashioned garden, with
long rows of perennials, dahlias,.asters and gladiolus, but what is perhaps the most interesting of all, is a
large box just outside the south porch
which is filled with the moss rose.
This is now a mass of bloom, and
many of them are the double variety,
the blossoms being nearly two inthes
in diameter.
DELPHIANS'FETE AT
OPENING MEETING

its second year of study Tuesday evening at the home of its president,
Mrs. Jas. Duncan. Mrs. Duncan had

spirits. Eleven were present and
were prepared to discuss current
events as outlined in the Delphian
magazines received during the summer.
Miss Laila Wilson, as toastmaster,
thanked the hostess for the lovely
spread and introduced Mrs, Wilma
Achard as the speaker of the evening.
Mrs. Achard had atrip to Alaska this
summer, by way of the Grand Canyon,
California, Seattle, the long boat journey, and the return through Canada.
She gave the others a delightful picture, of the many beauty spots of our
western coast country and mixed with
it interesting bits of th*e social life of
a tourist. *-*
Altogether it was an enthusiastic
gathering and the entire membership
renewed their purpose of gaining all
they can from the splendid Delphian
course.

George Roxburgh, of Reed City, had a good lead over Senator Karcher, of. Rose City, for the office of State Senator, and the people -of the county rallied splendidly to the support of Richard Emefson, giving him a majority of eleven hundred and thirty-seven over William Allswede of Hersey, -which assures, his nomination, for he made a wonderful run in Osceola county. The contest for 'sheriff developed into a close -race at the finish, with Woods leading by a majdrity of • six votes over Cook, Halstead third, and Rutter fourth. Schaaf .is an easy winner for Treasurer, whjle Asline as County Road Commissioner and Slater as County Drain Commissioner, also win.

DO WE APPRECIATE BEAUTIES «F . 'CLARE COUNTY Scenes Common, to- Local People Are Real Pictures to the , Many Tourists That • fass, Through. . By H.'B, Johnson ; The articles which have been" printed in the Sentinel during the'past few weeks were -written, with the hope '.that the enthusiasm of the readers might be aroused to the extent of "real appreciation of the county in which *we Jive. * Fertile .fields, and -comfortable homes, a moral, law abiding people, kind and hospitable, -working together for the common interest and good of all, would seem to make an ideal county, but we,; in Clare county, can boast of all 'this and more, for our lakes, forests, streams, hills and vales, provide scenic beauty unsurpassed anywhere In this great state of ours. But to appreciate these thirigs which nature has so lavishly bestowed upon Clare county, -we must have a 'sense of the beautiful within us, that responds to the beautiful around us. The writer was priveleged to be one Of a party ^n board -a boat -passing the pictured rocks of the upper peninsular, and for several days previous, the Captain had been telling us what pictuues -we might expect to see, and relating to us, the Indian legends connected with this part of Michigan, being thus prepared, it required no great stretch of imagination to see the inverted forest, the sky line of Detroit, the Indian maiden, the'herd of buffalo wending ftieir way down the hill to the water hole and many other wonderful pictures. All were enthusiastic except one man in the party, who, as we were just passing the grand portals, and entering the harbor of Munising, said: "I don't know why anyone should get excited about that, all I could see was weatherbeaten "rocks." _ Driving from the north on M-14, over the hilis and around the curves, the road fringed on each side with the beautiful green of the oaks, mingled with the darker foliage of the spruce, cedar and tamarack, past the summer homes at the Kleman Corners, suddenly, at the crest of James hills, there comes into view, the basin of the Tobacco Tiver. . Stretching away to the south as far as the' eye can see, is some of the best farm land in the state, the rolling fields broken only by an .occasional wood Iot,.and the spacious barns and farm homes, making a view unexcelled except in the mountain Country. And yet, matfy of our citizens drive down this hill with scarcely a glance at this charming scene. WILLYS KNIGHT SEDAN STOLEN LASTWEEK Entrance by REMEN SHOW ARK FIRE Lightning Ignites Frame Shelter at End of Container and Causes Danger*- ous Blazer. . The citizens* of Clare had reason to be grateful early Wednesday morning, for the efficient and fearless fire department which we have. During the storm of early Wednesday morning, lightning struck the frame shelter at the west end of the Clare Oil Company's kerosene storage tank, which is located on the south side of the P, M.'railroad tracks. The building was ignited, and at the same time the light current Vas affected, and the city was plunged into darkness. The current being off, the siren fire alarm was out of commission and the only method of giving the alarm was the fire bell at the city hall, which was rung by the* members of the election board, who were still in session. It took the fire fighters just five minutes to get to the scene of the fire, but the end of the seven thousand gallon tank, which, was about one fourth full, and the pipes leading from it were red hot. In the face of explosion danger, our boys rati the truck near enough to use the chemicals, and soon had the'fire .extinguished. Had this tank exploded there would be no telling what the damage would hat-e been to the property for-blocks arbund. APPRECIATION. I wish to- extend rdy thanks and appreciation „to the voters of Clare county who were so loyal in supporting me in the recent primary election., I assure you that your trust *in me shall never be misplaced. Youre vefcjr respectfully, Le"wia E, Slater, Thieves Gain Prying Open Rear Win dow of Thompson & » Wilkinson [Store. A -new Willys-Knight model seventy four-door sedan was stolen from the Thompson *& Wilkinson Implement store on west Fourth street last week Thursday night, and the money in the cash drawer, amounting to about fifteen dollars was also taken. Mr. .Wilkinson had driven 'the car into the storage room about nine- thirty, and carefully locked all the doors. When he opened the store on Friday morning and found the car gone. He at once came to the conclusion that his partner had taken the car for an early morning drive or to demonstrate it, so the theft -was not discovered until about eight o'clock, thus giving the thieves plenty of time to make their get away. The gasoline tank on^he car was nearly, full of* gasoline, so it would not be necessary for him to 'stop short -of one hundred miles to obtain fuel. The thief obtained entrance by prying up one of the rear windows of the store and' it "was then' an easy matter for him to remove the brace' which held the. large double doors? Allen Crum reported that when driving to the Texaco station about midnight', he barely avoided a collision,, at the corner of West Fourth and Beech streets, with a ' new Willys- Knight car occupied by two men and being driven without " lights. The Overland dealers all over the country were at once notified and it may be possible that the car may thus be recovered. HAS HIP BADLY CRUSHED IN AUTO WRECK M. J. Butterfield Seriously Injured South of Beaverton Wednesday flight When Car Goes Into Ditch, M. J. Butterfield, owner and manager of the Cider mill at Clare, suffered a fractured hip and was otherwise injured; when the automobile he* was driving left the road, and turned turtle in the ditch, about nine miles south of Beaverton, late Wednesday night., , Mr. Butterfield and A. E. Powers of this city had been in attendance at the Saginaw fair all the week where they had a cider selling concession, and they were returning to the mill at Clare for supplies, Mr. Powers driving his light Ford truck, and Mr. Butterfield following With the Overland touring car. At the junction of M-18 near Sanford, by mistake, they turned on that trunk line, and when- about nine miles south of Beaverton, the car Mr. Butterfield was driving left the road. Because of the intense 'pain which he was suffering, and his weakened ■physical conditions, Mr. Butterfield was unable to explain very little as to how "the accident occurred, but evidently it was little short of a miracle that he was not killed, as he was pinned under the car when Mr.* Powers came to his assistance. 'Help was secured, and Mr. Butterfield was first taken* to Beaverton, and la.ter in the night brought to a room at the Hotel Thompson, where he" was made as comfortable as possible by Dr. W. F. Clute, and taken to Alma in the Doherty ambulance Thursday forenoon. " " HAMPTON-GARVE Saturday evening, .

Varieties and Colors, The residents of our city, who tafte pride in their well kept lawns and bower gardens, would do well to visit some of the farm homes in.the vicinity of Clare, for our farmer friends evidently spend considerable time in caring for their lawns and the growing of flowers, *• A great many comments on the exceptionally beautiful gardens, have been made by people who travel our main highways. * One of the most beautiful of these flower gardens is to be found at the M. E. Brewer home, south ahd east of the city, where Mrs. Lena Brewer and Miss Edith „ Brewer modestly admit they are the caretakers of this section of the farm. It is an old fashioned garden, with long rows of perennials, dahlias,.asters and gladiolus, but what is perhaps the most interesting of all, is a large box just outside the south porch which is filled with the moss rose. This is now a mass of bloom, and many of them are the double variety, the blossoms being nearly two inthes in diameter. DELPHIANS'FETE AT OPENING MEETING The Clare Delphian Society began its second year of study Tuesday evening at the home of its president, Mrs. Jas. Duncan. Mrs. Duncan had invited the society to a six o'clock dinner which surely started them in good spirits. Eleven were present and were prepared to discuss current events as outlined in the Delphian magazines received during the summer. Miss Laila Wilson, as toastmaster, thanked the hostess for the lovely spread and introduced Mrs, Wilma Achard as the speaker of the evening. Mrs. Achard had atrip to Alaska this summer, by way of the Grand Canyon, California, Seattle, the long boat journey, and the return through Canada. She gave the others a delightful picture, of the many beauty spots of our western coast country and mixed with it interesting bits of th*e social life of a tourist. *-* Altogether it was an enthusiastic gathering and the entire membership renewed their purpose of gaining all they can from the splendid Delphian course.
